    The Electric State RPG: An Interview with Nils Hintze

    I’ve read the book, and I would not call it hopeful. The book is about a teenage girl and a robot that are trying to get to a small town on the coast of central California. They start somewhere in the Arizona wastes. While they are traveling it becomes more and more clear that there is an...

    Not DnD - Shadow of the Weird Wizard with Rob Schwalb

    I’m in the same boat, the Demon Lord part just doesn’t interest me at all. But a more, “family friendly” game sounds what I’d like.

    D&D Beyond Cancellations Changed WotCs Plans

    How about this, in the last 23 years can you find a product that has hate speech in it? If you do, can you find any evidence that somebody has somehow mistaken that speech as something WotC/Hasbro endorsed. We are saying it’s a smoke screen because it’s not like the OGL is a new thing, and...

    D&D Beyond Cancellations Changed WotCs Plans

    I watched that interview with Ryan Dancey on Battlezoo and he’s right, D&D in and of itself has no value. Rules are meaningless, and the various worlds beyond the deeply intrenched lore nerds are meaningless. It’s so meaningless that in the new D&D movie it doesn’t look like any character is a...

    D&D Beyond Cancellations Changed WotCs Plans

    This crap came at such a perfect time. First off after Spelljammer I couldn’t decide if I wanted to get Planescape or not. Also after 3.0 came out I bought all the stuff for 3.5 and then never played it, and I was wondering if that was going to be the case this time around too. As I’ve had a lot...

    RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: Kids on Bikes

    olay your focusing on the roaming on bikes thing, which I will not argue. The helicoptering that children endure these days in the US is stupid, and don’t get me started on it I‘m a nerd I can rant. What your missing is the cavalier attitude towards media from the time as well, I saw “A...

    RPG Evolution - True Tales from Stranger Things: Kids on Bikes

    People who weren’t there really have no concept of how deeply weird the 80s was for being a kid. From Seeing movies my grade school self had no business seeing, to there being toys aimed at kids based on those movies, to just how far we could roam. A real good documentary to get a sense of it is...

    A Review of The New Hunter The Reckoning

    Yeah but in the original book I got the real sense that the Hunters didn't like the other supernaturals because they were supernatural, when they themselves were supernatural. It was just weird. Also the other games have a classic literature archetype they followed, where Hunter was this...

    A Review of The New Hunter The Reckoning

    Am I the only one that thought the imbued were goofy. “There are creatures with bizarre supernatural powers out there we have been chosen to hunt them… (checks notes) with our own bizarre supernatural powers!” I just always found it to be a weird fit.

    D&D 5E Mythological Figures: Van Helsing

    "The branch of wild rose on his coffin keep him that the move not from it, a sacred bullet fired into the coffin kill him so that he be true dead, and as for the stake through him, we know already of its peace, or the cut off head that giveth rest." - Van Helsing - Dracula Chapter 18 Edit -...

    RPG Crowdfunding News - Trinity Continuum, The Means of Magick, Things That Go Squeak in the Night, and more

    For what it's worth, I've been reading the preview chapters of Trinity Anima and so far so good. Pro - It's the cyberpunk dystopia brought to you by pseudo-Facebook, pseudo-Google, and pseudo-Activision-Blizzard. Which is an interesting take of the genre, and super horrifying. So far its...

    D&D 5E [Let's Read] Odyssey of the Dragonlords

    Well between Some kickstarters, Theros, and video games. My fun money budget is fairly thin at the moment, so I gotta pick my targets.

    D&D 5E [Let's Read] Odyssey of the Dragonlords

    I’ve already put money down on Theros, I’m curious if you can mash both of these together. Right now my idea is to dust off my old Al-Qadim Golden Voyages box and use it as an inspiration for a Odyssey inspired game.

    D&D 5E Monte Cook's Ptolus Kickstarter Has Launched

    From what I remember it’s high fantasy, and the rules of D&D are taken into account. For example assassination doesn’t work good in a world where bringing back the dead is a thing. Also Adventurers are very uncommon in the world in general, so the way the players make a living is more of a...

    D&D 5E Monte Cook's Ptolus Kickstarter Has Launched

    I own the original and it's been on my bucket list to run since then, but I'm probably not going to buy the book in print for a second time. A stretch goal that separated out the new 5e content, from the massive bulk of book would be something for me. I'm probably not going to get it in print...

    Things from the Flood Is Now Available

    Define children, cuz it really really depends. Tales From the Loop is a Science Fiction/Horror game at its core. Instead of Cthulhu or supernatural, the bad stuff comes from mad science. In the game you don't play children, you play tweens and early teenagers. In the game if your character turns...

    Check Out This 43-Page Preview of the Unity RPG

    I know, why do I need another class based fantasy game, this one has a lot of interesting bits. Mechanically it has it's roots in D&D4E, but adds in more RP elements during character creation. And makes the game far less fiddly on the game masters side of life, the GM doesn't even roll dice. It...

    New D&D Adventure Reveal On 17th May at 'The Descent'

    Looking at the full art. http://media.wizards.com/2019/dnd/images/jkaxjjxlqxqfds.jpg A few of those arms are pretty clearly from the same individual. The reddish arms near the top, also the more feminine arms with gold jewelry near the bottom. So the number might not be a spoiler.

    New D&D Adventure Reveal On 17th May at 'The Descent'

    The art style reminds me of a few Magic angels, but none of them quite fit. The only MtG Angels with 4 wings that are blind are from Zendikar. But they are very specifically blinded by their own Halo's, not cloth.

    Your Beginner's Guide to Warhammer 40K: Wrath & Glory

    The thing that first turned me off to this game was the bundle hey released with all the decks. It gave me the feeling that to play this game I needed the books, tons of decks, etc. Put the game in the “premium” and out of reach, category for me. Kinda like the Star Trek RPG, the Borg Cube was...
