I got very lucky. I had the same 6 people for the better part of 19 years in our campaign. We had about another 12 or 15 that came and left over time, but the core folks were invested because once they got a bit up in levels, they started tackling larger scale problems and they started investing...

Done that. Had maybe 7 or 8 contributors. I did a lot, but they did a bunch too that was inspirational for me including some NPCs that I would not have thought of and some groups (NGOs) that I would not have come up with. I think it worked well, but I asked people who were smart, educated, and...

Just wanted to thank you for posting the adventure sessions, the tear-down of the moves behind, and the great story you have created in your Stonetop game. I find I am of two very different minds of the game (I have DW, but that's just an aside). On the one hand, I love the decisions the...

That can still be unsatisfying. Oh look, I rolled Pixie. Hmmm... been playing 20 years of real-time gaming... NEVER me a Pixie. What makes more sense is to figure out where the character was born, look at the social strata he's in and what sort of career he's aiming for (class), then have a...

Also, I've become more 'actors, resources, their goals, and possible ways players can cross paths' in a sandbox sort of way and adventures come from player agency and from how the players choose to deal with any encounter or information that could lead to getting into it with some possibly...

I like campaigns that cover 3-4 levels. That means you can get into a good storyline, have some epic events, and then move to something different. I think original D&D had a number of short campaigns (Slavers, Giants, Drow, Saltmarsh/Underwater, Hommlet & Temple, etc). Some were a bit longer...

Or mine is: 1 for 19 years. 3 or 4 for 1 to 2 years. (In fantasy... if I include fantasy, I can add) 5 or so years in 1 and several in the 1-2 year range. Few of mine hewed too closely to rulebooks bought.

I bot SF when it came out, but I don't know if Gamma World, Aftermath, Morrow Project, FASA's Star Trek or Timelords were earlier or later... all were played. I liked the maps and chits (minis came later). I liked the variety of aliens (yet not the insanity of Gamma World 1e). I loved the fact...

or Bonding House Thieves Meet Steel

Occultist Jimmy Stewart In Vegas (Jimmy Steward, Miracle of 34th Street fame)

You know, this is depressing. Am I going to have to look at every RPG publisher's kickstarters in earnest to see if they are diddling around in risky vehicles with the money or depending on that maybe-never-come-in-money to actually produce their product on kickstarter? Makes me want to only...

The list is useful, but most if not all of the links are broke. The links to 1st edition, 2nd, etc. and particularly many of the links I tried are busted. (Not surprising given the nature of the web.... and WOTC/Hasboro putting stuff up then taking it away as corporate strategies changed...)...

Most of the fun in early D&D if you got to any level as a magic-user was to design your own spells. So you'd then be outside the books... and some of the third party books were pretty awesome (one I recall using was a web-derived spell that created a web made of silver metallic strands - it...

Reminds me when they sold my AD&D 'Legends and Lore'. I saw it in the store because it had a new title and hardbacks back then were important. Got it home, found out it was a rehash with minimal differences of 'Dieties and Demigods'. Felt exceptionally much taken to the cleaners. Yes, I should...

Muchos gracias!

It seems to me if I'm wanting to cover what was published (from the games' publishers- trying to track all the third party and/or free stuff would be an immediate roll vs. sanity with a large a serious penalty....), I should really try to date the edition as being form the first published...

Thanks again. Is there a 3.5 archive page?

Thank you. I am trying to organize my stupidly large library in chronological order within a given edition. It seems 3.0 and 3.5 had some overlap and the official periods of a particular game are defined online in various places as the core books (but even that is questionable - some people...

I think the notion of making them of draconic stock is interesting, but I still loved the art and the version of them from AD&D where they were more like little bipedal coyote folk. The dog theme was near and dear to me before 5E rolled along... and I do find it hard to justify having both...

NFTs are an odd generalization of things like games selling you gear that only exists in the digital world or cards for your MTG decks, etc. It's value is artificial. NFTs might be able to have great one-off digital artworks represented (which might be valid) but I don't ever recall the case...
