    Monte Cook Games Announced Its 5E Project: Arcana of the Ancients

    MWP put out a ton of Dragonlance books for D&D 3.x so I doubt that WotC will put out anymore on the series except for the occasional Dragon Magazine articles. Besides, You can do a ton of adventures with what MWP put out. They covered like 3 different eras!

    Completely Clueless about D&D - Where to start & character creation question

    1. Just bring yourself. You may want to bring snacks for the group (bag of chips or a liter of soda, etc). 2. Don't argue with the GM. If there was a disagreement, take it up with your GM after the session. Also some GMs don't like it if you brought your laptop or using your smartphone during...

    Monte Cook Games Announced Its 5E Project: Arcana of the Ancients

    Awesome! I just recently discovered Numenera and it would be interesting how they convert that setting to 5th ed D&D. Also, just exploring science fantasy in D&D is nice.

    Which Faerun setting guide?

    +1 on FR 3rd ed. For me, it has become the gold standard when I look at other settings. Everything is so well organized and the writing eases you into the setting. In fact, the writing did not feel overwhelmingly dry to me It was a pleasure reading the book and I love that it peppered...

    Strands of Fate 2e Resources?

    It is a shame that the home site took down its forum. There is a Google+ forum you can try but I don't know how long it will remain up and running.

    Cancelling my TV licence

    I did not know that there were fees for watching tv in other countries. It was fine with just 8 channels but when we switched to digital, it became even better! (all free) There is, of course, cable but cable is on its way of becoming obsolete with streaming services like Netflix and the...

    Doctor Who. Ye gods! How did I miss this.

    I thought Christopher Eccleston was the perfect Dr. Who to reststart the series. He was cool which is so different than the normally eccentric variations of past Dr. Whos. It didn't take me long to warm up to Tennant either. It did take me longer to warm up to Smith but I consider him and his...

    Yet another Ghostbusters movie

    I did not bother watching the all female version of ghostbusters because it just felt like they were just banking on the trend of switching gender and/or race. I heard it sucked. However, I like that this upcoming movie is a next generation thing where the things that happened in the 80's...

    Star Trek Discovery not getting any better I fear.

    Campaign Notes Software Suggestions

    Shaxpir? It is mainly a tool for novelists but looking at the video, it looks like it can do what you want to do in this case

    Tell us about your favourite space RPG and why?

    Mongoose Traveller- My first space rpg was Classic Traveller and the Mongoose version has been an excellent update to it while retaining the classic feel. You can just about do any kind of campaign with it and I love that Mongoose has used the system to explore other settings such as Judge...

    Recent board games and what I thought [add your own capsule reviews]

    Innovation- a card game that has a civilization theme to it. Each number represents a technological period in Earth history. What I loved about this game was the "splay" mechanic in which you spread your layers of cards in the direction indicated. The game gets more chaotic as you go up the...

    BoL Conan

    So no one has a Conan conversion they want to share. What I'm really looking for is an origin conversion of the Conan races.

    Help my gaming group choose the system for our next game

    Quickleaf has it right. The biggest difference is on the GM's side. There is less prep with 4th ed and it is easier to game on the fly. In terms of combat, at higher levels, combat can drag in both editions. From what you want out of d20, I highly recommend True 20. Prep time is quicker...
