Very cool. I'd never viewed this before - glad you relinked it. It reminds me of my early days of AD&D at my college club, where a couple of DMs from Fine Arts would illustrate landscapes on posters and pan them while they narrated location details. One session they had an awesome Paladin on a...

IMO that's not a legit criticism, as Modiphius has made the effort to publish a freely available 2d20 System Reference Document PDF. That at least provides GMs with the tools to homebrew, or convert other content for any of the 3rd party IPs they've adapted to 2d20. Were that not to...

Personally, I've never had problems adapting zone systems to more granular maps with specific distances - whether those be in feet, yards or meters. For 13th Age, I gave specific min-max distances to its Nearby and Far Away zones. And for my players that were coming off of D&D 4e, I created an...

For any Fantasy themed TTRPG, if I don't like the skills system I propose to the players that we use 13th Age backgrounds instead. Mostly because I've found 13A backgronds to work very well, albeit I always give players 11 points to spend on them. All of this is easily handled by 13A...

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...
