    D&D General GMing and "Player Skill"

    Funny notes on a recent scenario I wrote, for dealing with the main villian at the end.. "There are multiple ways to deal with the Schattenkind, and you are encouraged to take on board any suggestions the investigators come up with." Basically they will have hopefully researched and discovered...

    Tariffs, Tabletop RPGs, and What You Need to Know as a US Publisher (indie or large)

    Also they these small orders aren't getting hit with whatever the duty should be, but a minimum $80 fee, larger for larger packages, even if the duty should be less. Supposedly this is a stop gap measure until the systems are in place to apply the correct duty to smaller shipments. How long...

    Tips and Tricks to Running a Con Game

    Yeah it is something I've experimented with when running Monsterhearts at a convetion, but not something I would use in every game, even in Call of Cthulhu or more horrific games. I just find the level of maturity among players is such that it isn't need at the convention I regularly attend.

    Tips and Tricks to Running a Con Game

    I find it very easy to think of a scenario where clowns or spiders are required. The scenario heavily feature Lolth the Spider Queen as the main villain. The scenario is a Call of Cthulhu version of the movie IT. But in both cases the scenario advert should really be making it clear that's...

    Tips and Tricks to Running a Con Game

    Pick one you find interesting, one you are familiar with (or become familiar with it), pretty much the Cleric Cabin advice.

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    I can think of several in character reasons why she would have moved slow, or at least slower than we she is capable of, but they could have put a reason on screen. Like being briefed that either by Boy Kavalier that they are still a secret project, or by Kirsh (the synthetic) about the need to...

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    My main complaint after watching the first two episodes is why doesn't Wendy run? She finds out what floor her brother is on, and she walks there? She has a super human body, and a kids brain. The kids I know run everywhere even when they don't need to let alone when there is a reason to get...
