Millennium's End (2nd Edition) - every single decision matters in this system. It's a little too detailed and cumbersome for my tastes, but still have some fond memories of running it.

KC wins. It will be close. KC DL losses will give the 49ers a chance. MVP - Isiah Pacheco KC uses G-T and RPOs to take advantage of an aggressive niner front.

I cannot find a way to ventilate a space properly,

It's the chemicals keeping me out of resin printing right now.

I typically award XP at the end of a D&D session. Most of the XP is for defeating foes, which makes sense, because our D&D game is combat heavy. I have a bit of rotating cast, so I make sure everyone is one the same tier at least. I also give a "catch-up bonus" - the top level character gets...

I think we will see Raven and 49ers in the SB. 2013 all over again. I personally am cheering for the Lions and the KC Chiefs. The Lions because of their sad modern history. The Chiefs because I have a couple of friends on that coaching staff.

Happy belated birthday! I first played over the Thanksgiving holiday with my cousins in 1974. They were a little older, but I think my fighter was slain by a vampire! I do remember our characters were on file cards and my cousin, the DM, rolled all the dice. I was certainly hooked though...

I am likely the only one that had to look this up, but just in case - SAD stands for Single Ability-Score Dependent; MAD stands for Multiple Ability-Score Dependent.

My youngest son and I have written some home RPG rules that we are using in our current campaign. The organization is a train wreck, much of the game is derivative, and in short it's a glorious mess. But, we are having a lot of fun. We came up with some design principles for our game: 1...

I cannot think of an RPG I have run or played that would fall into the worst rpg ever made. I do know my group bounced HARD off of WFRP 3e. It did not match expectations more than being a "bad" or poorly designed game. It was a forerunner of the highly successful StarWars game - so it clearly...

I live out in the country. We have lots of animals, including our beloved mutt!

My goal is to keep my weekly gaming group going through this summer. My youngest child leaves for college this fall and then I am going to take a break. I have been running a weekly game pretty much since the release of 3rd edition D&D. The last eighteen years of having my kids involved has kept...

Even the market leader, GW, gave up on fantasy mass combat miniatures games for the last six years. I am excited by the initial success of Old World, but we'll see if it is successful long term. It's a little tougher to incorporate D&D style magic into a mass combat game too. Not saying it...

Many have pointed out that the title of the thread is nonsensical. Guilty. Other have stated it's not clear what I am getting or advocating. True. It is a ramble of half-thoughts intended to spark a conversation. I'll try to craft posts more carefully and thought-out in the future. I had been...

I have enjoyed 5e a great deal over the years. I am in wait-and-see mode on the new rules. I guess I'm largely in agreement with @Clint_L , not because of the digital offerings, but because of the ease of recruiting new people. I mostly want To thank the O.P. @M.T. Black for posting the content...
