    What Non-D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign

    GMs: What is your prep to play ratio?

    It varies widely, over the course of a campaign. The stuff I run is generally semi-historical investigation, without much in the way of fights. My current campaign had the first killing by a PC in the 19th session. When I'm in the early stages of a campaign and feeling out the setting, there...

    What does a tank graveyard mean to you in your game?

    In our occult WWII game, the tank graveyard held the cremated remains of 1st Fallschirm-Panzer Division Hermann Göring. It had a "mysterious fire" shortly before Operation Husky. This was due to some British agents (the PCs) who figured out that it had a magical network between all its vehicles...

    Do you "roleplay" in non-TTRPG Games?

    I roleplay unit leaders in miniatures wargames. Something always comes up that their orders don't cover.

    Would you purchase an expansion, from a different system than you use, to adapt for your preferred system? If yes why?
