    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Jane Goodall was my childhood hero. I wanted to be her. Skip the rock stars! I devoured her books and was inspired. Sad day. 😞

    Fabula Ultima general thread [+]

    We've never done it because we keep forgetting. Game works great. You absolutely don't need to do the cut scenes.

    Just played it on the weekend. Would definitely love a bestiary!

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Yeah, Mora is awful and Odo should have stayed angry. Some relationships should never be mended.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Some effects would hit them all. Multiple monsters could also attack multiple torches. I did not mean that the torches were like Christmas bulbs. 😁

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    If you've got multiple torches burning, things that take out your light are going to hit them all. You don't want to be caught in the dark with 0 torches and a fizzled light spell.

    D&D General Wild Shape: Inefficient or Useless?

    Druid was my favourite class when I was playing 2014. I found many uses for wildshape from scouting, sneaking, tracking, eavesdropping, moving, carrying, slipping through small spaces, climbing, etc. As you gain levels, swimming, flying. If you have a rogue in the party that's sneaking ahead...

    Shadowdark Ran my first Shadowdark game!

    I played in the Minotaur scenario. We should have had a TPK with the Minotaur fight, cause we were stupid, but a few lucky rolls saved us. Relief and celebration!

    RPG Duets Best Practices and Pitfalls?

    I've found that with Duet play, it can be really awesome because the single player character can be the main character. No spotlight bouncing. This is also a drawback, because it's a lot on the solo character's shoulders. Sidekicks are fantastic for bouncing ideas off. The sessions tend to be...

    Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart

    I'm assuming that Darrington either doesn't expect the demand to be so con tinuously high, or they have to scramble to get any reprints done at all. There is a huge demand for printing right now. Could be a combination of both. I can't think of a single reason Darrington would be acting cagey.

    Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart

    I'm pretty sure Darrington is not planning, or even hoping to bring down D&D. Darrington is excited about Daggerheart and definitely has many plans for it. My guess, is they'd like to continue to see the enthusiasm for the game grow and profit, so they can continue bringing out cool supports for...

    Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart

    Yes, sometimes players get a favourite game and won't tolerate any criticism, or sometimes players will tear a game down no matter what. This is an unhealthy stance. I agree. Frustration kicks in, however, when the person you're arguing with has not played, read, or understood parts of the...

    The Pioneer RPG - Get Ready for Launch!

    I'll throw my vote behind the dog! This game sounds like a fantastic resource for schools to use. I love seeing rpgs that can teach history, and in this case science. What a great opportunity for problem solving and cooperative learning.

    Challenge Accepted!

    Which cons did you run your game at? How many players joined? What kind of playtesting are you doing? It would be helpful if you went into more detail about rules and character creation. As someone said, can we see a completed character? From my perspective your game currently looks a lot...

    I liked them too. When we were introduced to them, I thought, huh, these seem like authentic, non - Hollywood folk. "Real parents."
