I started playing RPGs when I was 13, back in ’94. I had never even heard of Tolkien — which wasn’t that unusual in Brazil in the 90s, before the movies came out. I think after I read the books, around ’96 or ’97, I started craving something more heroic than before. And that’s when rangers...

I have no idea how big it was abroad, but for me, growing up in Brazil in the 80s, both Thundercats and Dungeons & Dragons (called Dragon’s Cave here — I guess calling a kids' show a “dungeon” right as we were coming out of a 20-year military dictatorship wouldn’t have been a great idea 😂) were...

I've been trying to highlight text on my tablet, but it hasn't been very effective. I enjoy studying with highlighting, but I always take notes alongside it. Just highlighting alone isn't working. I'm going to try making some "one-page notes" similar to yours to test it out. :)

Why? Honest question. I have no idea what's happening.

I started playing in 1994. At the time, I had just begun studying English (I'm Brazilian), so my only options were materials published in Portuguese. The first time I walked into a bookstore to buy an RPG product was the following year. I had some birthday money, so I picked up a copy of...

Great article! Thanks!

That's exactly my case. I started GMing online back in 2018 (first on Roll20, then on Fantasy Grounds) because one of the guys had moved to another state. Here in Brazil, air travel is way more expensive than in the US, so our in-person sessions were happening only about once every 45 days. We...

I basically live here, baby! Woo-hoo!

how it might grow compared to Monopoly? That's funny.😅

I admit I was quite obtuse with my remark. Let me rephrase it: all I wanted from Catalyst was a system I liked. 😅

All I wanted for Shadowrun was a coherent rules set. But it's too much to ask that from Catalyst.

Just found out. That hit me hard in a hot summer night. I'm a big The Band fan.

Ney Latorraca, beloved Brazilian actor, has passed away at 80. I have fond memories of his comedic TV characters from the eighties, when I was just a little kid. He played a fundamental role in the transformation of Brazilian TV after the end of the military dictatorship and its official...
