    INTO THE MOTHERLANDS Publisher Cancels Plans

    Some of you see kickstarter projects too much as a storefront for pre-order and, as the message tell you before you back a project, it is not really that. Some of these project is about supporting artists and not necessarily about buying a product. Into the motherland was clearly an artists...

    Worlds of Design: Is Combat Now Passe?

    Infancy might not have been the right word - in it first decades would have been a better choice of word. I agree that in the 70s, D&D and many of the earlier RPGs focused heavily on combat. But, that changed quickly in the 80s and the 90s with the publication of other RPGs. I also doubt that...

    Worlds of Design: Is Combat Now Passe?

    LOL - You have much RPG history to learn my friend. Indeed, right at it infancy, TTRPG produced a number of well known and popular non-combat focused games with key titles such as Call of Cthulhu and Pendragon. Many of the gamemasters and players playing these games brought back many of these...

    Fading Suns Hits Kickstarter

    The big difference is that for Ptolus they will be able to re-use a lot of the artworks in the original product while this new Fading Sun edition seems to use a whole new set of arts compared to it previous edition. This make it a far more expansive project. However, I do feel the project is...

    Ivan Van Norman Discusses the Future of Altered Carbon

    I agree with your disagreement! I want my characters to be the heroes of the story and not just a supportive character but maybe I am getting the type of game they want to bring.

    Do you believe we are alone in the universe?

    I strongly believe in the zoo theory to explain the Fermi Paradox. It is possible that over the last few billion years a smarter species (and really we shouldn't consider ourselves that smart as a specie) have colonized our entire galaxy. Their civilization and technology would be so advance...

    "DnDSports": Competitive Play With Prizes

    Seriously I agree with Irennan. The narrative, stories, acting and jokes are what makes tabletop RPG so much fun, even when watching someone else play. Putting money into play may break it, as suddenly strategy become important. However, if the 5K amount is given not for winning the battle...
