Guess that's me out then.

Last year I moved out of my parents house into my own apartment. I have way less space to store stuff, and less money to spend on stuff. And... its fine. I realized the things that I already have are more than adequate, and they have been. So I'm certainly moving in a more minimalist...

Its a lot of things that sort of mash together into a soup, that can't really be replicated anywhere else. I love getting together with my friends. I love tactical combat and minis and boards and dice. I love a story that unravels as we play. I love being able to adopt a persona, or multiple...

This is a breath of fresh air, but I feel like "Creation Method Not Chosen By Publisher" might just allow people to side-step this. Still, if it even reduces the amount of AI I see on DriveThru I'm happy.

Yes and no, I think its less about how much rules and more about where they are focused. 5e, PF, 3.5, etc. have either very granular or very hands off rules for how much time passes in a dungeon. Things I find important for random encounters, duration of torches/magic, etc. All which is...

Love PF2, it solved all the issues I had with 5e and 3.5 so it was a no-brainier for me to pick it up. I've been playing it in-person for a few months now, both at a gamestore for PFS and in a home game of Agents of Edgewatch. I've found most accusations of being hard to run at the table to be...

When we needed a bunch of names for nameless cultists, we broke them into trios and had: Mark Tom Travis Billie Tre Mike Kevin Joe Nick And several others I don't recall.

Honestly, a modern version of the D&D cartoon would be sick, especially if given the love and attention something like She-Ra or Voltron got. The cover's alright. I don't like it as much as the Player's Handbook cover, but its pretty and colorful so that's good enough for me!

I really like the core set of classes in 5e's PHB, or Pathfinder 2e's CRB. I think that's a good number and covers all the "iconic" classes that give D&D its identity. Beyond that, I certainly don't mind new classes, but I want them to be rather distinct. I like how many of 5e's subclasses are...

I'm super obsessed with Dragonbane now, I think you could run any sort of traditonal or gritty fantasy adventure in it without much difficulty. Top of my to do-list would be D&D's Keep on the Borderlands or WFRP's Enemy Within campaign. (Or really anything from those games/editions in general.)...

For the most part I like to consolidate my books to one place: DriveThruRPG. (Which includes the DMs' Guild and Pathfinder Infinite, since they share a library.) Some products I've bought directly from the publisher, such as all my Pathfinder stuff, since most of that isn't on DriveThru. Also...

I've been running Dragonbane with the Foundry Module for a weeks now (its excellent btw.) I really like it. It perfectly scratched the itch of a "Classic" or "OSR-like" fantasy system for me, while avoiding some of the most common pitfalls I have with those games, such as high lethality. Its...

So if I'm understanding all these terms correctly (which I'm not sure I am, but here goes...) I like Neo-Trad because its an intersection of two things I enjoy greatly about about RPGs. I really like role-playing. Creating a character, really embodying them, how they think, how its different...

Now that's just plain wrong. If you want to dive deep into the setting, you'll find plenty of connective tissue. Such as Galt, Andoran and Cheliax (and therefore most of Cheliax's vassals like Isger) were all once part of Taldor at its peak. You can find trade route information for how the...

4e had Keep on the Shadowfell which was like the quickstart rules + adventure. Its set in the Nentir Vale and everything. Little dungeon, best part is its free on DriveThru. Edit: Also Khyber's Harvest, a Free RPG Day (i think) set in Eberron. Looks pretty short though. I really second Sunless...

This was the worst for me. My group and I were having a ball exploring and generally doing hexcrawl shenanigans, but the looming spectre of the apocalypse was starting to kill our vibe. Our DM finally just said "Don't worry about that, you got time, have fun."

The Beginning of Hoard of the Dragon Queen has had some problems. For the uninitiated it begins with an attack on a village. An army of cultists, kobolds and oh yeah... a honkin‘ adult dragon. (This adventure starts at Level 1...) The adventure expects the party to rush into town to save the...

Changeling for reasons. Or an elf. I'd like to live a long time.

I left D&D 5e for Pathfinder 2e. I quite like 5e. The core 5e experience is pretty satisfying for me, a good amount of crunch but not too much. My biggest frustration is the difficulty of balancing high level encounters, its just a lot of work as a DM. The rest of my frustration mostly comes...

That is a bonus for me. A light settings is great because there's less work to start running in it. But I do like details, they give me ideas for plots. Factions, towns, ruins... all of that is good stuff. I do think there's a perfect middle-ground but it likely varies by the GM's taste.
