Pirate Borg. Playing a ghost is one of the options. Any generic game where it fits the premise. Any superhero game. Phasing is a fairly common power.

Couldn't agree more. If you're making RPG products, the first and most important goal is making them usable as a game at the table. But then that's likely just the publishing side of referees who have worldbuilder's disease or are more interested in running their players through a predefined...

There’s still some good in this world. There’s still some good in this world. There’s still some good in this world… If I say it enough it has to be true, right? Right? Seems to work for so many other people.

Going outside fiction for a moment, check out Deadliest Catch. Watch a season or two of that and you won’t need to watch more. Great collection of weirdos and risk takers that would make for some great NPCs.

Yeah. Looks like. I went through the comments and there's not a single negative one about Goodman or any mention of Judge's Guild. Looks like Bob knows and is running interference. Or his team is. Either way. Scratch another person off my list of people I thought were decent.

Same. I don't use Google Translate, but that's a good idea. Check out the Nomicon. It's a great resource. I've also made XL spreadsheets from various sources and thrown them into an NPC generator. Click a button and 100 random NPCs popup. Mostly works, but kind of a shotgun or spaghetti at the...

In my case they're effectively identical. They weren't articulated as well, or at all, back then...but the playstyle is indistinguishable from how I've played D&D since about 1984.

Despite being set all over the US, Fringe was also mostly shot in Vancouver, BC. There’s also Grimm which was set in Portland, OR. Both pretty good Monster of the Week shows in a roughly similar vein.

Ten years of playing the same thing, a new edition that’s not different enough to be justified, the OGL debacle, or something as simple as people they trust making those games. No. Prior to 5E and the flood of new D&D-only people thanks to Stranger Things and Critical Role, the hobby was much...

Please do. He might not be aware of the situation.

I prefer this one.

I got a positive one. Sort of. I late pledged to the DC Heroes Kickstarter. It’s a couple months late already. But there’s a lot to it and the longer it takes the more likely the tariffs in the USA will go away. So I’m glad it’s late and don’t mind just waiting. I’d rather wait than pay the...

I think defiling should be a PC option. But not as a separate class, rather as an option for any arcane caster while they’re casting. But something tempting. Like the Dark Side of the Force. It exists in games specifically to temp players and their PCs. If they use it too often there will be...

Love to see their review of A5E, Tales of the Valiant, and all the other 5E clones.
