That's good to know. I did read through the free quickstart rules, and it looks like this could be converted to theater of the mind.

I like what I've seen about the game. But I've also seen that the game is fairly tactical. 4e theater of the mind was difficult; I just want to make sure I won't run into the same issue before I drop money on a new system.

Can Nimble be played as theater of the mind? Or is a grid really needed?

For those of you who have played Nimble, how does it play as theater of the mind? Or is playing on a grid necessary?

I was last in Philmont in 1986 as a "Lobo scout"—not quite old enough to be a Cub Scout. I vaguely remember getting lost amidst all the white canvas tents. Don't recall much else from that trip, though I do think we stopped by the Grand Coulee Dam on the drive home.

Is this a reboot of the Cairn rpg from about a decade ago that had major Kickstarter fulfillment issues? This one: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/131899/cairn-rpg

As a kid, I cut my teeth on Eddings, Feist, and Brooks (and Tolkien, of course). I've reread all three authors. Brooks feels very repetitious from book to book—once you've read one, you've read most. Eddings feels a little more juvenile, and I wasn't aware of the assault convictions until...

I wouldn't, ahem, jump to conclusions.

Translation—now there's a tough business. I'm grateful I only work in one language (English). However, I work closely with a very large translation department. Most of my organization's materials end up in a minimum of 30 languages. Many are translated into over 100 languages (with more...

As a professional editor who is married to a professional editor, I can say that the fundamental problem isn't how much editing costs or doesn't cost—it's the fact that no one other than an editor really understands what we do or that there's different types of editing. Most people think we just...

I was introduced to this thing over three decades ago via Susan Cooper's books. To this day, I still dream of visiting Wales. (Some day, you know, when there isn't a global pandemic...)

Wow, Mike, it's been a while since I've thought about this module. Thanks for the good memories!

I just use a plastic tackle box (along these lines: https://www.amazon.com/Organizer-Container-Adjustable-Dividers-Accessories/dp/B07PW3Z5K6). I sort by die type, plus I have space for some other bits and bobs like dry-erase markers and such.

I made that recipe as well. The olive tapenade was incredible, and it'd go great on a lot of things other than the burger.

Here's something similar on Kickstarter right now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atlasmundi/immersive-battle-maps-for-tabletop-roleplaying-gam
