Same. I’ve skipped a couple simply because of the size difference.

12.9 inch iPad. It’s glorious. I use it for reading away from a computer. I do most of my prep at my desk with three monitors. One of which is flipped vertically just to make using PDFs more convenient.

When I started running a lot of Savage Worldds the physical size was a turn- off. Now I prefer it. Books that size, Crown&Skull, BitD, Shadowdark, etc all fit in my hand easier these days. As a physical product my favorite is probably Crown and Skull. Black and white, looks smythe sewn...

Different toolboxes for different outcomes. GURPS is my go to for simulationist, or gritty, grounded games. Savage Worlds is my go to for action, pulp, and most adventure games. If I were looking for a narratives toolbox I’d grab FATE. I can’t grok Cortex but some folks like it. I’m...

I think book 5 works better if you can convince your players it’s a raid for the mcguffin and not a clear the dungeon situation.

I think it depends on what of campaign you want to run. Rise of the Runelords is fairly traditional D&D type fair. Shattered Star is Pathifinder’s version of a megadungeon in some respects. Second Darkness has a ton of great ideas in it, but is a hot mess on execution. If you’re doing a...

Pathfinder 1e SWADE Blades in the Dark One of OSE or Shadowdark WHFRP 4e Dark Heresy 1e Numenera GURPS Luxury item: dice Bonus book: Halls of Arden Vul or Rappan Athuk. A big fat megadungeon with tons of replay ability.

I’ve got both and either would work great depending on how detailed you want to get. Mixing and matching them would also work.

Earthdawn. So much great setting and adventure content. Planescape. Still to this day Planescape and Sigil inspire some wonder and curiosity for me. I don’t know how would I run a game in it functionally, but for sheer creativity and sense of wonder it just sings. Coriolis, and Symbaroum...

Delta Green Humble Bundle - Been on my radar for a while and this was too good an opportunity to not pull the trigger Megadungeon Megabundle Humble Bundle - too much 3rd party PF1 material for me to ignore. Especially excited about the Midgard stuff

I give my players 3-5 choices and let them privately send me their ranked votes. I usually have 2-3 things I’m working on that I can run on quickly if I need to. I only provide them choices that I’m interested in running. They’ve made me the prerma-GM so I get decide what I want to work...

Blackpowder and Brimstone.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at it. Messing with maps and building tokens is time I could using to work on other things.

This I would like to hear more about. I’ve thought about running several APs in Savage Pathfinder. I’d purchase the APs and use FGU if the content is useable cross systems.

Same. I do use something close to B/X OSE turns though. If a fight breaks out in the last turn on their torch I roll a d4. That’s how many rounds they have before it goes dark.
