    Invincible RPG Kickstarter to Launch on September 23rd

    I think this is cool, i always call superhero campaigns Super Operas. Could you point out where, or elaborate, on the mechanical reasons for shifting to secret IDs, I can't seem to find it.

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    That just means you weren't the demographic they were aiming for, cool, there are a lot of other people that can use it. I am grateful for it, I intend to use it to introduce my daughter to D&D when we are done with Baulder's Gate.

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    Yea but as you mentioned, having those categories is a quick way to determine if your presentation* will be useable to as many people as possible. That a preferred style is more prevalent or not is kind of irrelevant, because none of us learn just with that type of presentation. The presence...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    i didn't mean that was a bad thing, I just perfer the D&D starters "sandbox" approach. The Lord of the Rings one doesn't have that comprehensive of an adventure it seems to me.

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    I am specificially glad they did not include an "adventure". It makes it far more useful for the money laid down. I'd be over the moon if they would have done something like this with the Lord of the Rings NEW starter sets.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    My take. I liked it, but "First Steps" felt like a sequel. I really wish they would have shown us how Fantastic these Four were instead of tell us.

    D&D General How to DM, best resource

    Heroquest. I say this as a very late comer (to Heroquest) I played it with my brother, and the role of Zargon (sp?) is a perfect jump into the basics of GMing. Run the basic adventures, then make your own. Its tight, focused, and simple. As far as I am concerned rules get in the way of learning...

    LLMs as a GM

    I used co-pilot to take me through a Masks The New Generation game - basically - i used the rules i remembered, and it used whatever rules it could grab on the internet. I was pleased with the result. this morning when I tried to really use the Masks rules to make a character, I realized how...

    Show your game prep notes

    Currently playing Star Ward d6 using the Magnetic Variant rules as found in Planet of the Apes. I like the smaller skill set, and some of the other simplifications. The campaign pitch was genre movies set in Star Wars. Our first adventure I ended up doing the Voyage of the Demeter. For my prep...

    RPG-style Board Games

    It is really simple. I'll give you that. But having only recently played it, I realized that the Zargon position, is a perfect GM teaching tool. You have a very limited space, and very tight goal, and a way to learn to run an RPG with training wheels on. And I think that is really valuable at...

    Do you remember your first RPG purchase?

    It was either Star Wars WEG 1st edition core book or MERP I go with MERP because I bought it on a Church Ski Trip. It was the most religious thing I experienced that weekend. Well that and wasting all my money on Gauntlet after nearly plummeting off a cliff. I thank God to this day for that...

    D&D General Satanic Panic at the Disco- Did Beelzebubba Cause D&D's First Crash, Y'all?

    Although this isn't the point of the post, I think this is once again the case, but due to the VOLUMEN of content, rather than its dearth. Funny how history is psychoanalytical
