A few from memory: A Orphaned Moon Elf rogue who was raised by a human street performer/ cat burglar. After he was older his adopted father was killed by Zhents in a Zhentarim controlled area and he started living a double life (a gambling establishment owner and a robin hood style rogue who...

So just a quick update, we added another player to our group and he hasn't played any RPG in about 10 years. He was able to pick up 2nd Ed quickly and fully delved into the tactical aspects of the team dynamic and honestly I think he grasped it faster then my other players. I think 5th Ed D&D...

Definitely remake the old Icon Dragons since used one's go for hundreds including the Colossal Red Dragon. Also I would love if they sold sets of things you need a lot of (ie. Group of Goblins, Orcs, Undead, etc.).

So I ran our third game of Hellknight Hill and my players are really getting into how to use their three actions in different ways and are also planning strategies on how to use them together for when encounters occur (in character). To answer the question above, the wizard is really enjoying...

Castagar is ruled by Lord Degaunt and his family (Wife, 3 sons, and 1 daughter). What style kingdom is Castagar?

As someone who has been playing Gurps on and off over the past 26 years or so (got it for my 18th birthday) I feel its for the ultimate crunch/ fatal players. The super games seem to always turn into more of a Image comic style Wetworks game instead of a Fluffy old DC or Marvel comic game...

Ran my 2nd game of Hellknight Hill last night and it went a lot smoother than the first session and we are getting used to secret rolls. Everyone got into the exploring rules more and followed the story much better, and decided to skip the front door of the keep and try to find another way in...

My two biggest issues after running a couple sessions so far: 1. I keep forgetting to roll secret rolls (too used to open table rolls). 2. Hellknight Hill is written just like Kenada said, like a reading source instead of a module to run. (You keep having to find things all over the book to go...

Last night I ran the initial session for Hellknight Hill and it had a few bumpy moments but it went pretty well. I've been a big fan of the Adventure paths since they started coming out for PF and so I figured I'd go with this book to start my group on Pathfinder 2nd Ed to see the balance of...

As someone who has been running and playing 5th edition since the day in came out, how can there be a notion that wizards are more balanced? Any caster class in 5th Edition eats up all the special things the other classes do such as a wizard with the correct background is a better rogue than a...

Last night one of my players couldn't show for the first session of the campaign so I ran the small adventure Torment and Legacy for 3 players (Rogue, Archer/Fighter, and Generalist Wizard). My first take on the new system is the 3 action economy is fantastic and flows well for most game...

DSumner, what Arilyn said above and an example of this is making a Paladin in 5E you have 21 total choices to make from levels 1 & 20 with PF 2E you make 73 choices over those levels to make a Champion. Plus there is a ton of down time activities for a more in depth gaming system.

First I really started gaming with AD&D 2nd edition back in the early 90's with school friends and have played and GM'd tons of systems like White Wolf, Fate, Amber, etc. over the years and I'm always looking for some new way to tell our group stories and hang out with my friends. I'm one who...
