A few of my players really love Warhammers Old World lore and grimdarkness. So do I, but to me WFRP 4e has too many quirks and clunky mechanics. Anyway, I’ve decided to cave in and have started to prep a sandboxy WFRP campaign with some underlying Slannesh cult stuff. We play via Foundy so the...

I wish there was a gigantic first person fantasy rpg that had the exact level of playstyles, feel, difficulty (not very) and necessary level of twitch and stress (not much unless you build for it) of Cyberpunk 2077. I love first person games in theory, but usually give up cause of...

The interesting thing is that I’m pretty resilient and adverse when it comes to overconsumption in general, but choose not to be for rpgs and electric basses. It’s not a part of my behaviour that I like.

New is shiny is better.

Besides some OSR stuff I don’t play D&D anymore, but I do play other systems. But I do a quick visit almost daily, mostly for news and keeping in touch with major debacles, but also because I find it entertaining to read about what a specific small but vocal and very opinionated group currently...

It’s taxing if one want to nerd out build synergies and detailed system math. But I too am old and have taken the easy road - playing on normal difficulty and following a descently fresh build guide. Theres still some challenge (for me) and I can just have fun in this very good take on 40k...

Form factor is definitely something that can heighten my enjoyment of an RPG book with good content. That is true even for pdf format.

I always smile when people talk about and approach roleplaying games like an engineering project.

This is a wierd case of cherry picking. I did also state further below that save points can be a part of genre convention, such as Nintendo style arcade games. Now, if Nintendostyle arcade games has a place in the modern world is up for debate ;-)

Since I already almost exclusively buy pdf:s and only game via VTT, a future with most rpgs being developed directly for VTT play would be great.

Hard agree! Savepoint is an abyssmal legacy from old Nintendo style gaming that has no place in the modern world - unless one for some reason play Nintendo style arcade games where savepoint are a part of the genre. I personally only play crpgs, and the odd open world and Elite style sci fi...

After a long break from video games I’ve started playing Rogue Trader, lots of fun! Exterminatus!

I fine Common Knowledge and such useful when players MIGHT have picked up snippets of info, but it’s not at the top of their head, like about a space station in the region that they haven’t visit. The better the roll, the more info and details.

I GM all social stuff so that rolls have some impact, but roleplaying is the major deciding factor. It works at my table.

In how I GM Savage Worlds it would be all skill rolls and roleplaying, except for the social stuff where I let the roleplay heavily impact target numbers, we love some actual fasttalk at our table. The Heavy will be occupied with roleplaying, perhaps to the point where I make him roll to not...
