Tigtone is hilariously zany and I'm glad they made that book.

Heroquest was a joint venture between MB and GW originally, Hasbro owning MB at that time. They might have the rights to reprint the game as much as they want? Either way I'm excited as this was the game that got me further down the rabbit hole of gaming back then.

Although I know it feels a bit dated compared to the others I'll reiterate that in these times is when a program like Maptools excels because it is hosted on a machine you or a player owns, not dependent on a server somewhere else. This cuts down on the reliance of a swamped server and makes it...

Maptools by RPtools has always been free and keeps getting better. RPTools I believe it's also one of the oldest and doesn't use a cloud but your own pc for hosting.

I'm all for turn based over some sort of hybrid pausable real time. I also like that they seem to be using a lot more than we've seen in the past of the actual rules, though it'll take some time to iron those out I'm sure. There are lots of turn based games that have done very well, this will...

I think there is if the thoughts in the intro were expanded upon and it was set in the pseudo setting it had that was placed in Mystara. The lands around the Palace could easily be expanded upon with new updates and whatnot. Honestly though? I'd rather have re-edits and formats of the old...

Freddie's Twitch Channel:

Xavier is a regular now of the PAX Acquisitions Incorporated games on stage, playing a Barbarian for a fondness of cheese named Bobby Zimmeruski and has become a fan favorite. Also a WWE wrestling favorite under the name Xavier Woods. Clare Grant is Seth Green's wife and has done several...

Freddie and Sam are both voice acting alums from the Star Wars animated universe, Freddie also has been streaming on twitch for quite a while now. I think it's interesting that they put this together and given the other members it should be an entertaining watch.

So if they are anything like me it's all about the confusing editions like a lot of games I've heard are good but have gone through multiple companies. Like I know enough from casual encounters to know that there is original Traveller, then it went to Mongoose, then somewhere else? When you...

Just given the amount of work David Trampier was doing that year I can see why Wormy got a back seat. From his wikipedia article Cover art and some of the interior illustrations for Gamma World role-playing game (1978). Map board for the wargame Divine Right (1979). Cover art for the Dungeon...

I've been contemplating adding weapon mastery rules and the old 'simple cantrip' rules for Magic Users to the OSE rules. I love Basic Fantasy RPG too and some of their stuff could easily be added in since it is pretty similar.

If you end up running any old TSR adventures with it Charles it'd be neat to see a write up on that and how it handles it. Also how well it runs when using Ascending AC instead of thac0. It's neat and I plan on using it for a few things myself.

The unifying theme of the (old non AoS) world is Order vs Chaos with Chaos having a very real chance of winning if allowed to and still managing to get everywhere. There are some shared commonalities with D&D and Warhammer, but Warhammer is a very unique universe and very well fleshed out when...

I'm a fan of Greyhawk so that's where my favorite setting vote went. Also wrote in Gold Box Games :D
