• Welcome to this new upgrade of the site. We are now on a totally different software platform. Many things will be different, and bugs are expected. Certain areas (like downloads and reviews) will take longer to import. As always, please use the Meta Forum for site queries or bug reports. Note that we (the mods and admins) are also learning the new software.
  • The RSS feed for the news page has changed. Use this link. The old one displays the forums, not the news.

*General Roleplaying Games Discussion

For discussion of all tabletop games (except for those with their own specific sub forums). Also for non system-specific RPG topics, GMing questions, and advice.
