    Steve Jackson Games Releases Stakeholder Report for 2023

    I have some interest in TFT, but I'm not sure that I have a good grasp of what type of experience TFT is intended to provide. I'm not sure that the efforts to market the game have adequately explained what exactly I'm buying. That being said, I've purchased a few of the maps, dice, and various...

    What Are Your Favorite TTRPG Genres

    I'm not sure into what category some of the games I've enjoyed the most would fall. What would something loosely based on GTA be considered? A few years ago, my usual played the part of gang members, fighting for turf against other groups. I like street-level Supers. I'm unsure what age that...

    Steve Jackson Games Releases Stakeholder Report for 2023

    On the other side of the coin, SJ Games tends to pay well for writing, and they're open to receiving ideas for content. If you have a good idea and are willing to write it, the company is willing to pay for it.

    Dependency on Character Creation Apps?

    When I played 4E, I didn't write out the math; I just wrote out the equation. So, my card would be something like "1W + DEX Mod, Push 1." After that, it was just plugging in the numbers, and my sheet became mostly a reference to find updated numbers. Anecdotally, I've also found that...

    Dependency on Character Creation Apps?

    I've found that D&D 4E can be easily taught to a player by using Index cards. Have the player write their encounter and daily powers on index cards (using different colors if need be, but it's not necessary). On the backs of the cards, write the recharge conditions for each power. "Re-charges...

    Modiphius Fallout Opinions?

    I only recent became aware of Mutant Year Zero because of the PS4 game. I'm open to trying that.

    Modiphius Fallout Opinions?

    It doesn't sound as though the 2d20 system is quite the experience I want. However, I'm still interested in possibly picking up some of the books for expanded lore and seeing how the system approaches settlement building (if it does). Do you feel the book is useful as a reference? I am very...

    D&D (2024) What Should D&D 2024 Have Been +

    •I would have liked to expand upon how Backround features from the original PHB worked, rather than cutting them from the game. •Re-do monster math so that increasing HP is not the primary way to make things higher level. If less HP means that creatures die faster, then have encounter...

    Modiphius Fallout Opinions?

    I've seen advertisements for the Fallout Game produced by Modiphius. I have no experience with the system. Do you? If yes, what do you like about it? ....dislike about it? What's your overall opinion of the game?

    D&D (2024) How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d?

    I'm not sure. 1, maybe. I wouldn't say that I feel negativity toward 5.24. I'm currently a bit out of touch with 5E in general. There are previews (i.e. changes to background features) that I do not like. There are some changes that I suppose might improve aspects of the game. Overall, my...

    D&D General Matt Colville on adventure length

    I feel like there's room for modular modules, that are produced in batches that can (optionally) connect to each other in multiple ways. Let's say for sake of example that 3 adventures for levels 1-3 are created for Batch A. Individually, A1, A2, and A3 can be played as self-contained...

    Trailer Fallout - Official Trailer

    I wonder if we will see Super Mutants in season 2. There were a few hints at their development and experiments in season 1. A hand on a covered body in one of the more science-y episodes looked a little bit like one of the Nightkin.

    Has anyone else seen The creator?

    I like the idea of the film. I think there's a lot of really cool world building that is part of the film. But, somehow, despite the film containing a lot of component pieces that I think are really cool; I found the actual film as a whole to be a bit of a slog to get through. It's one of the...
