Night of 1s and 20s.

Trying to whittle down a Cortex Prime variant for sword & sorcery that will be easy to run and teach/introduce to my group. (Before anyone suggests Cortex Prime S&S rules that can be found on the internet, I'm confident I have properly scoured the internet and found them all - unless there's...

The role plays the playing role in the role-playing game.

Very interesting, and thanks for the thread. I don't know Daggerheart yet, but none of these is how I would define a narrative game. For me, a narrative game is one whose mechanics focus on drama. The technical details of skills, powers, spells, punching, stabbing, etc. might have some bearing...

Four arms is not enough.

Like others, I could not make it through the first book, but liked a lot of the ideas. I tried watching the Chinese adaptation, and although it seems to have a very nice budget I did not find it engaging. We watched the first 2-3 episodes of the Netflix adaptation, and...I doubt we'll watch...

So if you buy nothing, probably the 2024 basics and nothing else. Makes sense.

From series 1-6, 97 of the 253 episodes are partially or completely missing. Audio for most or all of those exists, and then there are stills and snipets of video. Most of that is due to A/V nerds at the time, recording what they could from live tv. Those stills are often photos taken by a...

Alternating between About Time 1 and About Time 2 - these are in-depth, story arc by story arc analyses of Doctor Who. Volume 1 covers series 1-3 (1963-1966), and 2 covers 4-6 (1966-1969). I'm currently watching series 4 - I'm committed to making my way through from the very beginning. God help...

One thing I'm really curious about - that will affect whether my table adopts 2024 D&D - is what versions of the D&D 5E rules will DDB make available to basic-level memberships. 2014 and 2024, or just 2024?

Maybe we need a poll about who does and doesn't, because I really dislike being on class-progression autopilot after 3rd level.

"Should have" is stronger than I'd like to prescribe, but evolutions that I would have liked to see include: 1. Get rid of the confusing, multiple uses and meanings of "levels". If you're going to keep 20 levels, distribute the 9 levels of spells into 20. You get 5th level spells at 5th level...

Yes, please! This would do a lot for characters with mixed racial origins. In every race I've designed that has innate spellcasting, I come up with a 3-5 cantrips, 3-5 1st-level spells, and 3-5 2nd-level spells - all themed around what I understand that race to be like in general - and the...

I voted 3. I'm interested, but not excited.

Yeah - depends on the Christian.

The setting seems very game-able to me. Post-apocalyptic settings and fiction are popular, and the sentient apes thing puts another spin on it.

Very interested! I fell in love with the first book, and then made the mistake of reading the relatively recent 1.5 book (Port of Shadows, set between the 1st and 2nd books). I'm hoping time will scrub some of the content of that book away so I can go back and enjoy the 2nd book.

If I was magically in charge, I would do everything in my power to make it not be Batman. I think Wonder Woman would be a good call. She comes with a bunch of mythological stuff, which the MCU has already tapped into, and she'd be a physical powerhouse to match any of the super-dudes.

Terra Primate was a really good product, with several suggestions for new ways to approach the general, IP-free, "world run by apes" premise. It's one of those gaming books I regret getting rid of, but voila! it's on DriveThru for $5!!! Sold! I am a big PotA fan, so I will back the bejeebus out...

Weekly, 4-5 hours, Friday nights, D&D 5E. We rotate DMs based on who's done with what they've been running and who wants to DM next. We sprinkle in other rpgs and boardgames when the current DM can't run, or as one-shots/short-runs between one DM finishing and another beginning. We have 3...
