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

    The only things I remember from that time period were Powers and Perils and Gamma World, which I owned but never played, and an old mimeographed and bound copy of Space Quest. The non fantasy games weren't at all attractive to me as a kid and Powers and Perils just looked like math homework...

    D&D General Hero Forge in Color Is Open For Busniess!

    I'm wondering what the quality of the paint job ends up looking like. Can someone post a finished piece?

    D&D General Hero Forge in Color Is Open For Busniess!

    You're not just getting a paint job for 45 bucks, you're building the miniature, and dressing it up, and arming it, and tweaking the pose, etc, etc.

    D&D General What's your favorite starter sandbox region?

    Each of my favorite campaigns have started in a different places, but I think Ptolus and the Scarred Lands City of Mithril are near the top of the list. My favorite region that I've never had a chance to run in is the city of Hollowfaust, also in the Scarred Lands. A gothic, faux-Germanic...

    Do you prefer your character to be connected or unconnected to the adventure hook?

    It should be noted that in BW a player choosing relationships is signaling that they want these kinds of dramatic moments, and it's not really within the bounds of the game for the GM to just outright slay a character's loved ones for the hell of it. A player choosing to have a Relationship is...

    Inside Out's five emotions as a game mechanic for psychic combat

    I think that the definition of trust in that example is that you don't trust the bathroom because you're disgusted by it.

    Inside Out's five emotions as a game mechanic for psychic combat

    I agree with @angille . I kinda have Torchbearer on the brain right now, but to me this seems like it should be a game entirely centered around the emotions. Not a d20 chucker where an emotions-powered system is stacked on top. What I see emerging is a sort of broad spectrum...

    How do you use dinosaurs in your campaign?

    Our current campaign started off as a worldbuilding game of Microscope. One of the players had laid the groundwork for there to be riding dinosaurs/lizards of some kind, but he isn't with the group anymore. I'm not sure if anyone else is ever going to pick up that thread and run with it.

    How many hits can a mook take?

    Torchbearer is also one of those "one roll" kind of games. Not every fight, but a mook-ey one would probably forgo hitpoints of any kind and would be described by a single roll made by one party member who gets an extra die added into their pool from every other player who describes how they...

    D&D 5E Should 5e have more classes (Poll and Discussion)?

    I'm always a fan of fewer classes, and more options to make the base classes describe a wider array of characters.

    Need help fleshing out an idea - Left 4 Ape

    Though I'm a huge fan of Mouseguard, I don't know if it would be a good fit for what most zombie stories are trying to capture.

    Need help fleshing out an idea - Left 4 Ape

    What do you feel as though the focus of the game might be? What theme are you trying to capture? What genre are you imagining? Savage World or Fate are the first things that jump to mind, but that's probably because of the name of one and the fact that the other has a Kung Fu gorilla on the cover.

    Worlds of Design: Medieval Travel & Scale

    I'm currently running an online, exploration based hexcrawler where the bulk of the map is unknown to even me. The world is essentially Kentaro Miura's Berserk copy and pasted onto a mostly Sumerian inspired world. Characters are the first generation of people to explore outside their city...
