    What Published Modules Have You Run or Played Multiple Times?

    Lots of things, most of which are Living Greyhawk, Pathfinder Society, or Renegade's organized play adventures. In addition, I've run The Sunless Citadel at least three times and Forge of Fury twice. The Pathfinder 2nd Edition Beginner Box I've run four times, and the ALIEN Starter Set twice...

    [Stalker RPG] The English translation is out!

    I recommend you take a look at the Flow with dice in the design blog, if that's more to your liking: summer09 Of the rulebook's 244 pages, system, including character generation, combat rules, experience and task resolution, takes up about 45 pages. The rest is setting and some tremendously...

    [Stalker RPG] The English translation is out!

    [Stalker RPG] The English translation is out!

    More or less. Here's a short example of how a fight might go. There are no set combat rounds as such - the challenges change as a fight progresses, and most fights will probably be over with a single challenge, which may take anything from three seconds to several minutes. Enemies that are hit...

    [Stalker RPG] The English translation is out!

    There are two parts to any task, be it winning a firefight or getting through a locked door. These are the idea and roleplaying. The idea part is where the player describes how their character will go about the task, and the roleplaying is in how well this fits their character and how the player...

    [Stalker RPG] The English translation is out!

    The Stalker roleplaying game has finally been released in English. Originally written in Finnish and released in 2008 by Ville Vuorela, the game is based on Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's classic science fiction novel Roadside Picnic and published by Burger Games. It is the first game to feature...

    Pathfinder 1E Got Pathfinder Questions?

    Can you use an optional material component, such as a Varisian idol (from the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide) with a spell-like ability (such as the summoner's summon monster ability)?

    Pathfinder 1E Mythos beasties in Pathfinder Bestiaries?

    Yeah, they're originally from City of Strangers, the ancient race that built Kaer Maga.

    What RPG Products Have You Gotten Recently?

    I must add to my previous post, for I sorta accidentally bought more stuff. Elhendi - a Finnish roleplaying game from 1993, written by Nordic, the father of Finnish roleplaying. Actually, it's an updated version of an even older RPG called Rapier. It's your run-of-the-mill D&D-ish fantasy...

    What RPG Products Have You Gotten Recently?

    Everway - an early Christmas present from a friend. It's a crime how I haven't yet had time to read its booklets from cover to cover, but it is a fascinating and beautiful game. This is a mid-90s diceless storygame designed by Jonathan Tweet, released by Wizards of the Coast and bought by pretty...

    Do you track the date? The phases of the moon? The weather? Holidays?

    I just keep track of the dates, using the Golarion calendar from the Inner Sea World Guide and note down the dates of each session on the session's page in our campaign wiki. It's occasionally relevant if the party's allies suddenly decide to have a religious festival or the monsoon season begins.

    Raging Heroes?

    Are there really letters in the one in the middle? I can read the other two when I know what I'm looking for, but with the one in the middle I'm not even sure what I'm looking at.

    A D&D Edition... into a SINGLE picture... (?)

    The truth is far worse - they're from a SomethingAwful thread that as far as I can tell is dedicated to mocking and trolling game forums and blogs. They've been at it for some 40,000 posts now, and just keep getting classier.

    Obscure demon lords

    Soneillon was described and statted out in the Forgotten Realms sourcebook Champions of Ruin. Astaroth got toasted by Gargauth at some point in the past and is now a vestige, as described in "Savage Tidings: Gazing into the Abyss" in Dragon #357.
