A single halfway decent picture of a monster beats about 250 words of descriptive text for me. My players like having both...

two or three members here I've gamed with in the past... But I can't be certain.

As have I. My least descriptive player is contributing more, making decisions based upon story more... And most are mentioning that it's less work than D&D for as much or more fun. As for the balance factor... it's as much dependent upon luck. I had one fight where no Fear was rolled. It was a...

Amazon ran out. Books-a-million ran out (and lied about it until after the money was collected). WalMart ran out. Barns and Noble ran out. Within days of release. Then, the second run came out, and within 2 weeks, was sold out again. No, the closest was Paizo with Pathfinder. A stable company...

I ran Fallout last year (i can say that now, as of today)... And it incorporates parts of 76, too. Was fun.

While it's very stylized, the process in Spirit of the Century was fun... You get to write the title for the shared story of each of two other PCs, and then you build aspects around that.

Pretty much the same. There are a few exceptions: credited and paid (to individual or estate) use of voice and image for disabled or deceased actors in sequels (such as Leia in Star Wars), or for Dr. Who Series 1-3 episodes audio recreations. A few cases where the actor cannot work, but...

Wed Daggerheart: Met elemental godling, got rain. Note: campaign planned-ish end. Next will also be DH.

Jar Jar was technologically impressive at the time. As were the droid army and the other Gungans. Jar Jar as a character was horrendously offensive on several levels. TPM didn't need that much comic relief... and Jar Jar was more annoying than funny.

Late 1970's in wargaming, perhaps earlier. Actual Play was used in re RPGs in the BBS scene and USENet in the 90's. Specifically for reviews based upon.... Actual Play of the reviewed game. The modern use? muddled as hell. Paizo's Adventure Paths didn't become a thing until D&D 3E in 1999...

eInk devices using onboard lighting (which color ones need to not look muddy) do burn a significant amout on the lights. My devices have all been grayscale.... 12 hours of backlight on my (now dead) Sony PRS-600 B&W 7" was awesome. My current 10.5" Likebook Alita gets about 8 hours with...

Old School D&D. Not using: a Caller, group sizes over 8, downtime in realtime... Traveller: The imperium as the good guys. (Marc originally envisaged fighting the imperium a lá Star Wars; even after, they're not the good guys.) Starships & Spacemen: Running it as its own thing, not as Trek...

another Worldographer vote here. Inkwell also has a hex based mapping solution, Hexploration Decks, that's a deck of hexagonal cards with vinyl clings for rivers, towns, etc. Deal it out, scan it... print it. They also have a digital version, free at...

I picked up Starheart just before 11pm last night... Happy New year...

Actual Play is the older use.

Wyvern's SG1... many of us who backed backed after seeing the playtest version on Dial the Gate. Note that the game was played by 5 assorted SG series cast members (David Blue {Eli, SGU}, David Hewlett {Rodney McKay, SG1, SGA, SGU}, Alexis Cruz (Scara, SG1), Rainbow Sun Franks (Ford, SGA), and...

Not Reynard... but having just finished up one 3-month (or is it 4? I'd have to check) of Daggerheart, running a second for a remote group, and about to kick off another campaign of DH for the group just ended... Daggerheart's mechanics are, RAW, that the monsters/NPCs only get a turn when...

I've seen warehouse jobs in my Linked in, needing 2 years warehouse experience... and forklift experience. I think they hiring management doesn't understand the difference twixt archive and warehouse, as it cited my time at NARA NS12 as warehouse experience... there are a lot of jobs open in...

. 4) distributors are short staffed and unable to process more orders even if they have the stock. It's not that they can't find workers, it's that the US culture has largely moved away from training unskilled labor to skilled labor, and distribution warehouse is usually skilled labor... but...
