I am not too worried about the system. But anything for 3E, Savage Worlds, GURPS, d20 Modern, would be nice. As for genre: Horror, Fantasy or Modern Espionage is good.

So I haven't purchased a module in about 8 years. My understanding, from reviews I've read, is the general approach to modules has changed a great deal in that time (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong). Can anyone recommend solid modules that have come out for various systems and...

Yellowstone isn't an exageration. It probably isn't gonna blow any time soon, but it is a super volcano, and an eruption would be catastrophic for the US. I remember we had to study it in my geology class back in college. Basically its on something like a .5-1 million year cycle (for the large...

At least you know its a show about a work of fiction, but they support some untenable ideas. It could be worse, they could be airing "The Secret".

Every city is named according to its location: east city, west city, hill city, etc.

I tend to agree. The module was written in the early 80s, so you have to take that into account when running it. But it is a solid module and it definitely isn't a straight dungeon crawl. For sure it has dungeon crawl elements, because it was written in a time when that was the norm, but it...

To the OP: are there any studies on gamers and gaming? I would be interested in reading them.

First, full disclosure, I was a really Ravenloft Nerd in the 90s. So take what I say with a grain of salt. Masque of the Red Death was an interesting concept. They basically imported the idea of Ravenloft to the real world during the Victorian Era, minus the dark lords. I can't remember all...

Totally agree. Thoughts of Darkness had some great Fabian art inside, but the adventure itself was terrible. And Goblyns ruled.

Feast of Goblyns and Ship of Horror are classic. Night of the Walking Dead plays pretty well. Castles Forlorn was a beefy boxed set with lots to do. I liked Adam's Wrath as well. A little odd in some places, but fun overall.

Looking for groups to playtest our new modern RPG. GMs contact me and I will send you a pdf of our rules system. Play a few sessions with your gaming group and we will credit your and your players in the final rule book. Just looking for basic feedback.

Just stay clear of the green line guys.

I would probably pick a game other than D&D if its just two people, or limit the D&D to skirmish scenarios. Have you ever played the board game Runebound? It sort of simulates the D&D experience, but you don't need a bunch of people to play (I believe its a 2-5 player game). Or you could go with...

Unusual Subject, but important. I don't have much to ad. Just that death can shake even the strongest among us. I saw a woman killed in a car accident on my way to the gym in a few years ago. It was early on saturday, and the police hadn't arrived yet. I had a clear view of the scene as a drove...

The small changes, even in the beta, seemed to make difference in the campaign I'm playing. I played a rogue and a wizard. My only concern is the skill description was a little confusing (the text regarding skill points was a touch amibguous). But I am guessing that'll be fixed in the final...
