The party has floated this idea, and I am so excited for them to try at some point. With the borked supply chain of the Time of the Red, the way I'm running it is that only corpos, well-funded gangs, and nomads have cars (or at least, cars worth stealing - someone might give you a few eddies for...

That was one thing that I immediately had to tamp down when I started running Cyberpunk Red. I would ask driving-related questions, and immediately other people would start making decisions for the Nomad, treating the car like a communal item. Now I specifically ask that character what they are...

That's kinda what I like about them making the miniature a woman - in D&D, everyone should be able to see themselves as the hero, and this speaks to that. Part of what makes the Red Box's art so great is that it sparks your imagination; you immediately picture yourself staring down the maw of...

I love my Kindle, and use it for most new book purchases, with a few exceptions. For a lot of the older Appendix N and adjacent readings, I still prefer to read the old print versions, with their lovely old book smell and glorious covers.

Of what you've listed, I'd go with Cy_Borg. It's recognizably cyberpunk, but incorporates enough of its own heavy metal thing into it to stand out.

Agreed. Switching from a dedicated discussion tool to applications that do a bunch of things means a lesser experience, generally. I signed up for some DCC games at Origins that I'm quite excited about. After my Dragonlance campaign finishes, I plan on doing my first playtest of the module I'm...

Between this, the new Spiderwick adaptation, and his new Planescape covers, DiTerlizzi seems to be having a moment again.

Is it an ongoing Mothership game, or is each one a one-shot? I just got the new boxed set as well and am looking forward to at least running a one-shot with it.

I finished reading Morris' The Wood Beyond the World. It had the fairytale quality that the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series at its best frequently has. The language is a bit archaic, very much a bridge between older works like Le Morte D’Arthur and the beginning of modern fantasy. It’s really...

I am currently loving running Cyberpunk Red. Each session leaves me looking forward to the next, new ideas percolating in my head. I will always dig DCC RPG, though I'm not running it at the moment. I am running 5e, but my heart is increasingly not in it, as each argument over what a spell...

Hmm. If I wanted to nerf wizards, I think I'd increase the DC of the concentration check from a base 10 to 15. as @the Jester mentioned, going back to a d4 HD would also change things. Now, if I wanted to be mean, I'd make Mage Armor and Shield concentration spells.

That's what I'm getting from the discourse. As far as ERB goes, I'll probably get back to Pellucidar or start Amtor next. I am very, very slowly working through Discworld, putting off the time when I have no more Discworld to read for the first time.

Seven. All but two were ones I DM'ed and finished. I ran Out of the Abyss, Tyranny of Dragons, Tomb of Annihilation, Rime of the Frostmaiden, and Princes of the Apocalypse. Of the two I played in, I finished neither. Storm King's Thunder, the campaign did finish, but the table had gotten so big...

Finished ERB's Llana of Gathol. Thought it a ton of fun. Not sure if I'll read the final book in the series, considering half of it was written by ERB's son and the other half is an unfinished story by ERB. I realized that I've been idly reading the Barsoom series for about 20 years. It feels...

This looks absolutely charming. As much as I love Soulsborne games, sometimes a calming, relaxing game hits the spot. And as someone that loved Battle Chef Brigade, I am here for more games with cooking at their core. I hope it can live up to its promises.
