We looked into VTTs as a group during COVID, and while there are new options now very few of them worked on an iPad; that will be your limiting factor. If you have a second PC in the house, using a Remote Desktop app on your iPad might be a work around (remote control second PC as the GM, PC...

I’ve backed 90 Kickstarters up to now, and about 80%+ have been for RPG related stuff. I would group those into two broad categories - additional support for games I already play often, and new games which I am interested in. Stuff in the first category is always welcome when it arrives, but I...

Whatever works best for you is good to go for 😊. The only potential benefit is ease of using multi-tasking to move between apps (having different apps for big notes, short notes, scratch notes) but OneNote might be good for those things by itself?

I’ve been running games that way for several years now, and find the process straightforward with top-level kit. I have been using a 12.9 iPad Pro since they came out, and the combination of screen-space and horse-power makes it work well. The 12.9 supports two ‘full’ iPad apps on-screen at the...

Without a doubt, GURPS. I submit for your consideration, an excerpt from Pyramid magazine about calculating bow damage:

If someone wanted to get into GURPS there is currently a fantastic offer through Bundle of Holding. It has a fantastic selection of books to help someone adapt a setting, which could be on the money for this request.

We have two groups in my gaming crowd - one of six (GM + 5 PCs) and one of four (GM + 3 PCs). Games that don’t have strong niche protection work better at lower numbers, and also games where PCs are a bit more capable from the outset (though you can always start with experienced characters...

Out of interest, do Kickstarter prohibit cross promotion to other platforms? If they don’t it would seem easy to at least make your past-backers aware of what is coming to a different platform?

The One Ring has each PC choose a “stance” in combat: close, open, defensive or ranged. These affect you chance of hitting and being hit, and allow a different range of non-attack actions too (at least they did in the first edition, haven’t played second yet). Functionally this is like the JRPG...

They used to do stand-alone bigger maps, but don’t seem to sell them anymore

Here are contact sheets from the back of some of the books which show the variety of maps: Dungeon set: Little Dungeon Book Giant book

Pretty much. They have a general approach of keeping access points at similar locations on the page so you can tessellate them. They also tend to have a set of colour pallets which get used on similar maps in different books so they look quite natural when put together. The effect is magnified...

They are currently about half pledged for, so definitely worth backing quickly for anyone wanting one. It’s the same printer as the main book, and the quality was excellent.

This is the kind of thing that generic systems are great for using to throw together, as discussed recently here. For a pulp feel and tools beyond just supporting combat I agree with @MGibster that Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE) would be a great choice out-of-the-box if you want...

That really does not describe any game of RoleMaster or GURPS that I have played. While being very crunchy they are also very permissive. In fact, one of the reasons I like a well-designed crunchy game is that it gives the GM good tools to work out what happens when the character attempts...

They aren’t in the book; they’ve created a special deck of cards just for chases. If you have the box set I think it should include that.
