    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I did not. Adding it to my queue right now. Thanks for the heads-up!

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I've been on a bit of a wuxia kick (no pun intended) lately, so the last thing I purchased was a hardcover copy of Art of Wuxia. I ran a one-shot for my friends a couple weeks ago, and they liked it enough that I'm now going to be running a campaign. And then I backed the Kickstarter for...

    Outgunned Adventure Is Smart As A Whip

    The only thing I wonder about is how statistically likely it is to roll three of a kind (or even doubles) on a consistent basis. How large do PCs' dice pools usually get?

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Very disappointing news. I've long been a fan of DCC and its amazing adventure modules, but if they're willing to openly work with people like Bledsaw there's no way I'm giving them so much as another penny.

    Greater Than Games Shutters Due to Tariffs

    I'm curious what this means for The History of Sentinel Comics. I've been really looking forward to it since it was announced, and I have no clue what kind of progress they'd made on it.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I've never quite understood why they're called funnels. A funnel doesn't reduce the volume of anything. Shouldn't they be called sieves instead?

    WotC 5E Designer Mike Mearls Talks About The OGL Crisis

    All I can assume is that Riggs just meant that it wasn't an officially licensed D&D product that used any of WOTC's settings or characters.

    Dungeons & Dragons Gets Its Own Horrified Board Game

    I have the Universal Monsters version, but I sadly haven't had a chance to play it yet. The gameplay sounds kind of similar to Touch of Evil (using the cooperative rules). Can anyone confirm or refute?

    Status of Edge of the Empire?

    It's definitely full of high quality components, maps, and handouts, but I think more playtesting could have gone into it before release. For one thing, they may have realized that they forgot to include a pretty important rule in the starter set, that PCs can only make one attack per weapon...

    Status of Edge of the Empire?

    Yeah, I'm actually rather disappointed by that. Genesys is my favorite system, and I think it could work very well for horror. As it stands, I think the system for Arkham Horror RPG is fine, but it doesn't excite me to play the same way Genesys does.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    My most recent order is for the original Rippers book for Savage Worlds. Yes, I know it's not the most up-to-date version of the setting, and yes, I already have the PDF, but considering that Rippers is my favorite setting for anything ever, I really want it in my collection.

    What is the Best Licensed RPG?

    FFG Star Wars for me. I really love its dice pool system, funny symbols and all. (Honestly I'd use Genesys more often if it were better supported for VTTs.) I ran an Edge of the Empire campaign for a couple years, and my group and I had a great time with it.

    Not DnD - Shadow of the Weird Wizard with Rob Schwalb

    I preferred the name Shadow of the Mad Wizard, but I get why it's been changed.

    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Existed But Doesn't?

    I know it's not as good as having the actual thing, but Esper Genesis is very obviously heavily inspired by Mass Effect. The caveat is that it does run on the 5e engine—which I know a lot of people aren't big on—but I think it works really well.

    Cypher System by Monte Cook Games: what do you think about it?

    I like the way XP is used for both, just as I like the way your stat pools are used for both health and as spendable resource. It becomes an interesting resource management system where you have to weigh whether the immediate benefit outweighs the long-term benefit.
