    Terragon Terrain( Review )

    Man, I don't even do miniatures games anymore, but I backed the hell out of that.

    I Made a Virtual Dread Tool

    When I get around to finishing it there will be one tower that everyone sees on their own page, and yes, when the 5th block in a row is removed the tower falls. Currently there's a little bit of the tool that looks to see how many 3rd and 4th bricks have been removed, and introduces red pillars...

    A question about time travel

    I had a really spectacular time travel nightmare once that operated on a "the more often that events are repeated, the more likely you are to introduce a rut that stops you from being able to time travel back past it" The narrative was all about my friend and I going back to fix things and...

    I Made a Virtual Dread Tool

    I was talking on Reddit yesterday with someone who was looking for a way to play Dread virtually for Halloween, and I was struck by how unexciting all of the Jenga replacements out there were. None of the replacements really seemed to capture and translate the shared threat and doom that a...

    A question about time travel

    In a closed loop single timeline, permanently changing the timeline via time travel would involve having to plant seeds for a new impetus for change. Going back to save the princess would necessitate leaving yourself a note to let you know that you will not only have to go back in time to...

    Good one-shot adventures for an online kid's birthday (10-11 years old)

    How many kids are we talking about, and what kind of gaming experience do they have? I'd think maybe Kobolds Ate my Baby or No Thank You, Evil would be my first picks. If it's a smaller group, maybe a game of The Quiet Year with a modified deck or Little Wizards. I'd avoid D&D via VTT unless...

    Annual RPG and Games Budget?

    What I do is that whenever I run out of space, I just buy a bigger house with a bigger game room.

    Horror Campaign Ideas: Pitch them Here!

    I ran Groundhog Day/Murder Mystery one shot a million years ago, and part of the gimmick was that my rolls operated off of a set, scripted, round by round table, and they had a pool of rolls that they could pick and choose from.

    Characters over an infernal barrel

    Do clones have souls? Is this something the devils know? Is the entire dungeon just a giant, elaborate, soul farm, presenting people with harder and harder obstacles to overcome so that they eventually sign over their souls without compunction?

    What do you do with your old RPG notes/maps/NPCs/PCs/etc?

    Written notes still exist in whichever folder, binder, or GM screen I had been using at the time. I ran a handful of floating RPGs for a couple of years in college where the players would choose which system and game we'd continue with depending on who showed up. I stumble on to the folder...

    Which Online Virtual Tabletop Do You Use?

    There's nothing stopping you from importing a hexed map.

    How Many GMs Run Multiple Games?

    In college I frequently found myself running at least one, if not two games a night. I ran week long games of Assassin, organized tournaments for MtG and other games, and was the primary string puller in the University gaming club, which involved organizing games, and space for 12 hours of open...

    medieval architecture in tropical climates

    My vote would be to not bother attempting to find a historically accurate transplant and just focus on available materials and copying over the architectural style of wherever the colonizing group is from. https://www.hunker.com/12567612/what-is-palm-tree-wood-used-for

    Drawing a Big Dungeon Map--Help?

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with giving the players the ability to "skip" levels. (there's actually a philosophy of dungeon design that encourages it Jaquaying the Dungeon) Just make sure to give them reasons as to why they might need to go there. The access keys they have don't work on...

    Roleplaying Games of the 1970s (and very early 80s)

    I was just thinking back fondly of the three turn play by mail Battletech game I ran for two friends the summer of 1993. I had stumbled on to the Battletech Center in Chicago the year before, and tried to recapture that fledgling VR experience for two of my college friends by hand drawing a HUD...
