    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    That’s easy: if I actually use it (play or run a game). I’ve bought stuff to use as “reference”, and yeah that’s ok. And it would be “super worth it” if I used it more than once.

    Outgunned Brings A Little Dice Dice, Bang Bang To Your Table

    Picked up Outgunned during the recent Christmas in July RPGDrivethru sale. Looking forward to running it for an upcoming one shot. If it catches on, this could be a go to.

    Spoilers TV Shows with Great Endings

    I have three of them: 1) ST:TNG: This has been mentioned (and I liked the ending) but I consider Picard Season 3 (which features most of the TNG cast) an even better ending. 2) Dexter: I liked the ending of Season 8 but I consider Dexter: New Blood as the true and fitting conclusion of our...

    Fallout Tabletop: What are you doing/planning?

    Well, my Dragonlance campaign has become more popular than I thought it would, so it's delayed my original plan of running a 2d20 Fallout sandbox set in the metro Detroit area. But I'm slowly world building that - including recruiting one of my kids to make some evocative images. The TV show...

    D&D 4E Best VTT support for 4e?

    There seems like an active community on FG who run 4e. That’s the VTT I’ll be using when I (attempt to) set up my mini-4e hex crawl later this year.

    Modiphius Announces Star Trek Adventures The Federation-Klingon War

    Definitely interested in this. Now, I’m just waiting for an official Dominion War supplement.

    Digital vs physical media which do you prefer?

    I was talking about pdfs mainly, not cloud services. I expect those to be secure. I didn’t expect the 4e tools to last forever tbh. Once you subbed, you had access to everything; didn’t think that would be in perpetuity. I paid it mainly for the tools themselves (used chargen and monster...

    Digital vs physical media which do you prefer?

    A mix. I read most digitally but get physical copies of ones I refer most like core books and a few adventures. I really like boxed sets that are worth it. Twilight 2000 and 5e come to mind.

    ECHO New Trailer

    Watched the first episode. I’m a fan. It’s in the trailers so not a spoiler per se: really liked the fight with Daredevil!

    D&D General D&D Loyalty?

    Not loyal at all. Been playing Savage Worlds (Seven Worlds, Deadlands and Invasion) and Mophidius (Fallout and STA) games all year. Oh, and a short stint with Aliens (FL). But I also play and run D&D (5e). Hoping finally to set up a hex crawl for 4e - that, or Dark Sun.

    What Is Your Favorite Campaign Setting?

    Dark Sun and Nentir Vale (and my D&D homebrews have been points-of-light campaigns like NV) Star Wars, Star Trek Gamma World (I’ve always played it “serious” but it’s gonzo aspects really came out in its last edition) Fallout (once a casual interest, now I’m a fan)

    What TTRPG Defied Your Expectations (in a good way)?

    Fallout 2d20. I was enjoying almost a year playing SWADE exclusively (still playing tho) and then tried this game. Having played STA, I expected something similar. Instead, I found myself really enjoying this for a few reasons: Much simpler system than STA I understood the CRB much better than...

    Grade the Hero System

    I'm a bit torn over what to vote. I eventually chose "It's pretty good" but it's more complicated than that. I started with Champions 1e and played mainly through 4e (not counting some dabbling with 5e). Played and GM'd countless hours of the system. HERO is a foundational rule set for me. What...

    Grade the Modiphius 2d20 System

    I voted "I love it." I just got into Fallout - played it online (Fantasy Grounds) and in person - and I can't get enough of it. It's just a fun iteration of the 2d20 system. I also played STA and really enjoyed that. Haven't GM'd it yet, and intend to, but there's more rules that I still need to...

    Favorite superhero RPGs?

    I've played most of the ones already mentioned, including MSH, V&V 1e (my first SH system) and DC Heroes. I've read ICONS but haven't played it yet, but intend to run it eventually. And others, like Underground, that I've read but unfortunately unlikely to run or play unless I convert it to a...
