2e: Planescape boxed sets. Still the high water mark for creativity. World Builders Guidebook. Such a great tool. 3x: Cityscape. Great city supplement. Shackeled City. Set the design paradigm for the entirety of Paizo’s existence. 4e: Dungeon Masters Guide. A great DM’s guide for...

I've been trying to settle on a campaign setting for a couple of years. I picked up Midgard this evening to give it a read.

The last models abd resin add-on bits I for my nascent Blood Angels 40k army. Robin Williams was right. Cocaine is a cheaper habit. It’s going to look good when it’s done but it’s been twice as expensive as I was initially planning.

You might try something like the GURPS Action! line. It’s designed to emulate 80’s action movies. Core GURPS would also work just fine for this.

The 6 session minimum kind of happened by accident. I’m the forever DM of the group and was going through a phase where I wanted to try a bunch of different stuff. My players got frustrated. When I asked the minimum number games should be per game they all said 6. So that’s what we go with...

We have a 6 session minimum rule for games. One shots aside we can typically tell within 6 session whether a game is going to work, needs house rules for us, or if we need to bail. It also gives my players time with their characters. We might have to house rule something if we find it...

Deadlands Weird West Blood Drive Session 1: He choked the horse out?

Deadlands & Blood Drive VTT modules. I’m starting a Blood Drive campaign Wednesday night. The Savage Worlds Foundry implementation is good adding the Blood Drive and Deadlands core modules is going to make my prep-life easier.

Just backed Blades in the Dark: Deep Cuts on Backerkit and Astra Arcanum on Kickstarter. PDF only. I have my sickness under control.

This made me go check and see if I had one…not quite there yet but I’ve got about 5 more I’ve got in saved status to follow up on. There’s still hope for me!

Most of what others have said. But I would add the quality of conversation here is higher than what I see on Reddit. And I really, really like the moderation that keeps this place from becoming a cesspool like so many others. I prefer old school forums to discord. I hate the discord format...

A Friday night 7/8-12 session would be fantastic. Four solid hours with a break and some social time. Sometimes my 7-10 session doesn’t feel like it has room to breathe. And if you get sidetracked that three hour slot disappears quickly.

Does 40k count? I’ve started a Blood Angels army, which has eaten into available ttrpg fundage significantly. Or to paraphrase Robin Williams, cocaine is a cheaper habit…

7-10 is what we play. If we run a little over 10:30 isn’t too late. Once you start getting towards midnight on a school night it gets tough.

I’ve been reading Dungeons of Drakkenheim to run it at some point. It scratches an itch for me. I’ve always wanted to run a Pools of Radiance type game and this fits. Empire of the Ghouls is another 5e campaign I’ve been looking at, with an eye towards running.
