It's also available for the Fantasy Grounds VTT. With the 1 caveat, that unlike the book/PDF which includes the core rules, you need to already own the Star Trek Adventures ruleset for FG. Still, it's really nice to have FG's features like stories, encounters, missions, the combat tracker and...

I didn't vote, because none of the choices seemed to apply to me. I've only played and DM'd Old School Essentials, but I've been told by some that it's a modern BECMI retroclone. If that's the case, there's nothing in that poll that would suit me. Unless I should just vote for "I'm playing it...

I've never owned print editons of anything Warhammer. I've bought a number of the rules PDFs for WHFRP and WH40K over the years when they were on sale, but never sat down to table for it. Somewhere around 2010 I got a WHFRP 3 HC lent to me with the idea that I could buy it for cheap if I liked...

I was looking to get into DCC Lankhmar a while back, but opted to go with the Dying Earth boxset and PDFs instead. I'm glad I made that decision, as it proved to be a quality adaptation and I had fun taking a party to level 4. I own most of the content for both the 2e and SW adaptations of...

I've only sat down to Warriors & Warlocks for M&M a handful of times. I liked it, though I found PCs to be fairly high on the power curve in terms of characters for the types of Fantasy genres D&D embraces. What I've played an GMd a lot however, is True20 which shares the same DNA and a number...

If my game was a Weird Wars adventure, it might mean or evoke something like this... On the leeward side of gnarled and singed bocage, the wounded and burning carcasses of heavy metal, felines - German Jagdpanther and Jagdtiger tanks. The fallen prey of deadeye Anti-tankers, laying silent and...

For sure a bit while playing the Arkham Horror Living Card Game. But it sort of makes sense and comes natural with it, as it's character driven and its core rules share some similarities with TTRPGs. Other than it, only ad-hoc when playing Force on Force miniatures when players felt like being...

Why pre-pandemic? Is there something that makes 2019 and earlier different or special? Anyhow... Yes, I live in a apartment tower in which the 1st, 3 floors are subsidised suites for Persons With Disabilties and Seniors. I'm one of the consultants for the Tenant advisory committee, so gotten...

With all the time I'd have being stranded on a desert Island, I'd for sure be homebrewing. So... SWADE BRP Cepheus Engine

Sounds like you might enjoy Al Qadim. It's an Arabian themed setting created for AD&D2e. In particular, it's good for sea campaigns, as it has a Corsairs of the Great Sea companion and it's 1st adventure (Golden Voyages) has all sorts of seafaring content like ship deck maps and attractive...

I would categorize flavors of the Cepheus Engine as contemporary simulationist. Its SRD is based upon Mongoose Traveler 1e, but there's flavors that diverge away from the far future SciFi of Traveler to more contemporary time frames. Like Traveller it works with the premise that PCs will advance...

It would without a doubt be 13th Age, as there's an official, quality adaptation of Glorantha for it. Not to mention I'm a big fan of 13A. I'm also a fan of Mythras (RQ6 with serial numbers filed off) though and I could see running it with those rules too. I own BRP-UGE, Call of Cthulhu, Delta...

There's also Deadlands Noir set in a 1932 New Orleans, which fits between Deadlands and Deadlands HoE. Also the SW Weird Wars series, which begins with WW Rome and concludes with WW Tour of Darkness (Vietnam.)

I haven't played in many campaigns recently, where the "GM is out to get you." But it was a different story in my earlier experiences TTRPGing. My first exposure to TTRPGs was playing AD&D1e, for which I played with groups that were under the umbrella of a university War Gaming club. Some of...

Considering this hypothetical scenario has at least those 3, there's no way I'd run it with the 800 lb Gorilla driving the TTRPG biz jugernaut, which is D&D 5e. I'd definitely take this as an opportunity to use a less known system. My 1st consideration would be rules that could run for the...
