I can identify as both GM and player, with many of the reasons suggested. I'm just going to add that VTT hosted, or assisted campaigns I've participated in as player and GM, have generally had better success rates for completion. In particular, those for which we've had a VTT on a big screen...

I own both Fantasy Grounds and Foundry VTT - enjoy the challenge of learning to navigate and create for a VTT. I like both for different reasons, but the main driver for me is the availability, stability and how feature-rich a TTRPG adaptation is. An official WH40k Imperium Maledictum and The...

In terms of Humble Bundles or Bundles of Holding, there isn't much con for a publisher when I'm the customer. I typically only buy the few print books for a TTRPG that are required for the players. I like to homebrew my adventures, so after those initial purchases I don't typically buy much. On...

Star Trek Adventures also features special roles for starships which are called Bridge Stations.

For storage, I'll ditto what others have aready said - tackle boxes and storage cases. I don't knnow if they still sell them, but I was able to buy some orange storage cases from Walmart years ago. My son and I used them for our D&D & Star Wars Mini collections. They were terrific because they...

Isn't that supposed to be million. Personaly, I'd be very surprised - actually shocked- if a tabletop game company had annual revenue that was approaching a trillion $. Or is that also including all the revenue from the 3rd party companies that publish and develop games based upon their IPs ?

It's not the first time I've mentioned it here, but I'm a big fan of Kobold Presses' city of Zobeck. It sits at the center of their Midgard World setting and is detailed with a Streets of Zobeck adventure guide and a Zobeck Gazeteer. Both are now available together in one publication titled...

My enthusiasm for collecting and painting minis waxed with my son and daughter reaching an age where they could paint (both became good mini painters), and waned as they approached their late teens and lost interest. We mostly collected Reapers for fantasy figs. My son and I were also fans of...

I'm a homebrewer at heart too and my most prized TTRPG books are toolkits or universal in nature; i.e. SWADE, True20, BRP-UGE, M-Space and Cepheus Engine. So for sure a book that does that well is going to support many a SciFi setting. That said, I do think referring to U5 as a SciFi setting is...

I wouldn't classify Ultramodern5 as a setting; at least not the original edition I own. It's more of a toolkit that's targeted at a variety of modern to far future genres, but IMO not a particularly good one. This is what U5 states at the beginning of the Adventuring chapter. "Ultramodern5...

I so much dislike the idea of the Traveller verse being played with D&D 5e rules, that getting all my concerns/criticisms down would result in a very lenghty and not so readable post. Just need to say, my players and I spent way too much time trying to find SciFi magic in a bottle with d20 (d20...

I rarely back kickstarters, but I have the Denizens of the Blood Sands bestiary, have found it to be quality stuff and have enjoyed dropping its weird, at times humorous, creatures into a variety of adventures. So I'm IN for the Expeditions into the Blood Sands KS. I'm mostly interested in the 2...

I'm careful to only purchase print books I've researched and those I know I really want to hold in my hands. I generally only buy books the players need at the table and occasionally my players gift me them. So, any phsyical books I own have to be essential for players, or something I want to...

With that phrase, you're more or less describing me. Well I've been around WH40k tabletop play for years, I've only actually sat down to it a handful of times. I'm too much of a Battletech geek to break away from BT sessions at our tabletop club's monthly meets to play WH. Before IM, the only...
