    Best RPG for Arabian adventures

    I'd consider Savage Worlds for pulp swashbuckling and there is the Hellfrost: Land of Fire setting, but I don't know how 'Al-Qadim-y' it is.

    Sell me on Savage Worlds

    In fairness, I think those rules were introduced first by Savage Worlds Deluxe era third party settings (I'm pretty sure I first saw both of them in Beasts & Barbarians). One of the strengths of Savage Worlds has been, in my opinion, incorporating solid material from Savage Settings into the...

    Sell me on Savage Worlds

    There are ways to split the difference in the more recent editions using: the 'Resilient/Very Resilient' in the SWADE core which gives an Extra one or two wounds the elite extra rules (I'm blanking on which book they are in, but I've seen them in a bunch of settings) where you can give a...

    Sell me on Savage Worlds

    I kind of think the best cure for this is settings that have very flavourful and genre-specific edges & hinderances. Beasts & Barbarians, Street Wolves, Wiseguys all have very cool edges & hinderances that can tempt players away from doing the same thing each game

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I went a little nuts buying Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e hard copies with the 25% off coupon the current Humble Bundle provides

    Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

    Why not both? Mike Pondsmith can be a class act and a canny businessperson

    What Lost, Abandoned or Short Lived TTRPG would you like to see get a re-issue and new support?

    Continuum. I'd love to see a new version along with the planned expansions.

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    I've never had it invoked at my table, but I did make sure to have it available & explained at convention games and games I ran through a local RPG Meet-Up group. My home games tend to be with people I know pretty well and we communicate well. But honestly, my players come from similar...

    Itch.io is shadowbanning or deleting NSFW and LGBTQ content

    Sadly, I won't be surprised if Shopify stops serving LGBTQ friendly and other 'offensive' businesses given the views of its COO and number 2 executive.

    Musings on Sci Fi Campaigns/Adventures

    Here is where I think something like Traveller really shines. Plot them on a map and give them a reason to have to take on shady jobs besides just carrying cargo (I believe the 1st edition of Mongoose Traveller was designed to make it nearly impossible to keep your ship running by playing it...

    Green Ronin Crowdfunding Legal Defense Fund In Fight Against Diamond Distrubutors

    I would take that Rocket Reach revenue estimate with a grain of salt. I've run into accuracy issues when getting intelligence from services like that in the past.

    New Edition of Mutants & Masterminds Coming Soon, Playtest Launches at End of Month

    'Grifters' is a pretty strong accusation. What scam or fraud have they perpetrated? I question how effective their appeal for funds will be, but it isn't dishonest in any way that I can see.

    Fading Suns 3E Any experience?

    I backed this game to the hilt and was really looking forward to running it, but it came to me at the exact wrong moment to run that system. The system itself if flavorful with deliberate back forth of various tokens and I think would feel rich with the right group doing in-person play...
