Glad to see The Hero's Journey up there!

SteveO, if you haven't bought the Beginner Box yet, may I suggest the current Humble Bundle being run for Pathfinder right now? You can get the Beginner Box for $25 + shipping and all the PFRPG PDFs you could want for a good while. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/paizo-pathfinder-bundle I...

Hi, I recently picked up MCG's The Strange and was curious if there were any PBP games happening or in planning right now? I'd like to be a player so as to learn the system before I dive in as a GM (which unfortunately I don't have the time for right now).

I've not played or ran anything from this book, but I'm interested in picking it up along with all the extra books. My advice is to offering your players a one shot adventure with pre-made PC's. Give them the pitch and offer to run it for one session. Maybe even provide a hook that links to the...

Pretty funny. Even though I don't know the specifics behind this particular book and why it had problems, I can understand.

I concur with DnD_Dad. Be up front with the guy. You profess him to be a nice guy so he's probably pretty easy going. As a fairly inexperienced GM myself, I want my players to help me improve and give honest feedback. It helps everyone involved. It sounds like his GMing style is the only thing...

I'm about to try something like this out, encouraging each player to taje a designated role in the group. Sometimes that role is more IC focused and others are more OoC focused, like keeping a particular type of page on our Obsidian Portal updated. It'll add ownership to each person...

I tend to switch. Lately it is based on what kinda game I'm into. Before I really got into RPGs I was into Monsterpocalypse miniatures for a good half a year. Then I got my true start in RPGs with Star Wars Saga. While building characters for that, I began researching D&D. In 2010 I picked...

I've got a similar thought process with the game I'm about to run. I'm going to track the group xp and inform them at the end of the proper sessions when they've leveled as a group (or by email in between if I don't have time to calculate). Encumbrance will also be abstracted unless a PC decides...

I've got a quite a few 3rd party products, many of which were written by the same authors that Paizo would utilize for their official books. There's a lot of solid stuff out there where people have gone to the trouble of doing all the math for those corner case options the 1st party devs haven't...
