    New "Stargate" series announced

    That was unexpected! I haven't really followed Stargate for a while, but I did like the movie back in the day, and also watched the earlier seasons of SG-1. Amazon series have been a bit hit and miss for me, but I'm positively surprised that it's not a reboot, so I think I'll at least give it a try.

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    If I got that right from the AMA (on the NG Fan Discord), the necromancy book will come later: Personally, I would have preferred it the other way around (I have less interest in the demon book). But I also don't want to complain too much as I have ample material for Dolmenwood now.

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    A new Backerkit page just went up - Old-School Essentials Month (Backerkit). Main focus seems to be demons/the Demonic Grimoire, but apparently this also is the larger project, in which you will be able to get printed copies of the new version of the rule books. (from the project page)

    Want to play a Duck?

    Same here, unless we are talking about a game/setting with (anthropomorphic) animals per se. In fact, the ducks are one of the things that reduced my motivation to engage more deeply with Runequest. And if I were to ever run the game, there would probably be a great duck hunt inserted into the...

    Favorite mythological creature

    Tatzelwurm is a good one. I also like the Wolpertinger. Mainly because it's so odd.

    The Pioneer RPG Kickstarter is Now Live!

    Glad to see that this campaign does so well. I'll also have to pass initially due to budgeting reasons, but I like that there was an update dedicated entirely to different propulsion systems (Update #5 for those who haven't seen it yet). It does seem like this might be a great game for...

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    I think they might already have done this. I just checked the PDFs, and they only reference the 5.1SRD and the Creative Commons License.

    What was your 2nd RPG?

    Same here. First one was Das Schwarze Auge/The Dark Eye (not a great experience), third one was Shadowrun (which I liked at least as much as D&D).

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    I would disagree here, at least to some extent. Owlbear Rodeo works fairly well on mobile, and my impression is that the devs also prioritized this (including fighting with obscure bugs in Safari). And while the fun of running anything map-based on a smartphone is limited, I find it solid on...

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    I tend to agree. I have used Fantasy Grounds in the past, and it was ok (we played AD&D). Still, it would have been easier if I hadn't needed to install and update the software (there was always some concern whether the update would break anything).
