It seems, people below 30 are still the majority on Reddit (Reddit User Age, Gender, & Demographics (2025)). Yet, there also seems to be a fair amount of Millennials and Gen Xers, there. Especially in the RPG subreddits, I have the impression that there's quite a few people who have been playing...

If we're talking absolute minimum, then I need a map, tokens on it and a pointer on the map. So effectively Owlbear Rodeo. However, if the question is what do I like to see as a baseline, then, in addition map and tokens, I'd like the ability to set background pictures, and to easily display...

Less a misreading of the title, but I before I clicked it, I had the hope that the great railroad thread was ironically titled and would, in fact, deal with adventure ideas around railroads/-ways.

Yeah, given how big the US market is, this is going to ruin some people's calculations completely. I would assume especially board game publishers will be hit hard, but I guess really everyone who's doing something that is even a bit beyond just books (e.g. cards, dice, etc.) is at risk. So no...

For me, it depends a bit how much the employed dice deviate from the standard set. Things like the Free League games, where you sometimes have dice pools with multiple colors or a higher result on a roll gives you more than one success are fine for me, because if needed, they can be easily...

Well, for me, dice pools are always a plus :) . And maybe, by mechanically bringing the game closer to the wargame, it will lure a few people over who haven't tried TTRPGs so far.

Well, yes and no. I think this highly depends on whether you are a fan of WFRP or not. For me, the new streamlined rules were the main reason why I bought the TOW RPG. Had it been a setting book for WFRP 4e, I might eventually have bought it, but might also have waited until it reaches "the...

Ah! So it's a new game. I had previously assumed it's a source book for AoS. But I guess it makes sense since they are starting to experiment with new game lines across their whole Warhammer portfolio.

Since it was brought up a couple of times (and I'm also monitoring this): the Kickstarter preview page for Anarchy 2e is Shadowrun: Anarchy 2.0. Campaign is launching on August 26.

You could try Neon City Overdrive (with material from its Supplements Psions, Skinjobs and The Grid). I think you'll need to be a bit of tweaking to make it feel like Shadowrun, but IMO complexity-wise, it's in the FitD area, but it takes a different approach, which I personally found quite...

When 3e launched, I had just wrapped up my community service, and I was quite unaware of the game, because it would still take a bit until it started hitting German hobby stores (and my Internet was dial-up with extra fees per minute). I was also quite busy playing Baldur's Gate and would soon...

I think, I'm in the "Meh" bucket. Had these books come out 7 or 8 years ago, they would have been an almost certain purchase. But 5e in general and 5.5e in particular don't really resonate with me these days, so I'll pass at least initially. I have some nostalgic attachment to the 2e/3e realms...

In the meantime, I have re-subscribed to Netflix. Mainly because I wanted to watch Godzilla Minus One, but then I also kept it because of the new animated Witcher film. Both of them are half-watched for a while now - I guess, I'm really bad at this streaming thing 😅 I currently also have a...
