It’s not bad, except the ending, but Brannaghs version still sits unthreatened on the throne.

I don’t see the problem. Thief is an established archetype in fantasy, and they usually lag behind casters and big sword dudes in power developement. So if someone want to be a stealthy, backstabbing skillmaster just go for it, it doesn’t make my games worse in any way.

I am blessed with players that enjoy deep roleplaying not focused on outlier races or skin suits. So I end up with human-centric parties with the odd Tolkien race. Which is how I prefer it as GM, so all is well. And yes, we’re old.

Given that I only run homebrewed campaigns and dismissing pre-campaign prep, I probably average at 1.5 to 2 x prep time to hour played. But for major setpieces and evolving intrigues and conspiracies it can be way more. But that’s a major part of myGMing fun.

Imho fantasy is a gear genre, so for me fiddling with inventories is fine, it’s part of the game play. And since I use Savage Pathfinder these days, I’m also fine with players sacrificing a Bennie (metacurrency) to find rope or whatnot in their backpack if they lack it.

My first was The Fantasy Trip, then Traveller and Runequest - in my mind they entered at the same time.

I might have jumped on this just to have official Traveller material on a VTT. But since Mongoose is working on stuff for Foundry, then nope.

I own GURPS books but have never played it. But as an og Car Wars fan boy, Autoduel was amazing!

My biggest wish is that WFRP 5e core actually gets out in 2026 as promised.

Since I don’t eat things with four legs for health reasons, I like and make a lot of fish, veggie and chicken burger variants. Currently my favourite is probably a minced chicken patty seasoned with Thai chili, fish sauce, cilantro etc, with light, fluffy and relatively thin wheat bread buns...

And this is a plague no matter what subject. Politics, fly fishing - the yapping heads are there, filling endless minutes with (if we’re lucky) 98% redundancy. It’s horrible. Edit: I almost wrote hell on earth, but there’s no gamma priests or evil robots around to lighten the mood.

I can make an overly long and highly redundant video to explain.

Since I spent a month this spring in intensive heart care at the hospital and have been rehabing since then, and are just about to start up my first rpg actual gaming activity, a new Savage Pathfinder campaign, 2025 is not a representative year. But after 45 years of roleplaying, I’ve spent the...

Seem like a modern day rpg perk to me.

And like almost all YT persona videos, those 15 minutes could be made into a text with the actual essence that takes 30 seconds to read. I intensely mourn the death of textual communication, it’s like we as humanity take a big dump on all the advantages of written text and the progress it has...
