    What Game Did You Leave D&D For?

    Well, I started at the very end of AD&D1E and played AD&D2E for quite a few years, but I've always been interested in many other games. Sprinkled in between 2E campaigns were Call of Cthulhu, WEG Star Wars, Warhammer FRP, Earthdawn, Shadowrun, CP2020, GURPS and a few other oddities (mostly...

    D&D 5E WotC's Nathan Stewart Teases New D&D Setting Book in 2019

    I would pay solid gold for a Birthright setting book. Other than that, Planescape, Mystara, Greyhawk or even Dark Sun would pique my interest and I'd certainly buy the book. Ravenloft would be a toss up, and anything else I would not even bother looking at, specially something related to MtG.

    What's the best and worst D&D book you own from any edition?

    The best is the Birthright Campaign Setting (I know it's not a book, but hey, today it would come out as a single volume instead of a boxed set). It's my favorite setting of all time, the art is amazingly inspired, the lore is incredibly good, and I love the idea of the players as rulers (of...

    Do you have recommendations for fantasy chase music

    For a horse race? Nothing better than this: https://youtu.be/RllRPZw--9Q?t=35s It was actually used in the film itself (apart from title sequence, of course) as the background for when the party rides the Fire Mares. P.S.: Start the track at 35 seconds if you want to avoid the ominous...

    #RPGaDAY Day 11: Which ‘dead game’ would you like to see reborn?

    And what is that? A setting or a game? P.S.: Nvm, it was already in my Kickstarter bookmarks... :)

    #RPGaDAY Day 11: Which ‘dead game’ would you like to see reborn?

    For me it wouldn't be systems, but game worlds. Birthright and Planescape are my two favorite fantasy settings to come out of the plethora of choices in AD&D2E, and I'd love to see massive world books that were system agnostic. Oh well, never gonna happen.

    ESPN Calls Role-playing "Bad Fantasy"

    If you guys can't detect any sort of sarcasm and/or contempt there, then I can't help you. I wasn't the only one who noticed this at the time. Here's an example of a thread in the forums of the company that at the time was simply known as "the guys who used to publish Dragon and Dungeon, and...

    ESPN Calls Role-playing "Bad Fantasy"

    Oh, really? History disagrees with you sir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbbqMoEwDqc Players from past editions being shown as confused, dorky and simplistic, while the new edition's players are going to be quick, rules savvy and OH SO COOL!!!..... No, they never did that...

    Do you roll for treasure?

    I stopped rolling treasure about 20 years ago. I found that it was eliminating part of my fun as a DM in the preparation phase of the game. Things such as figuring out exactly how rich or poor this particular bandit group was, turned out to be fun in themselves. Of course, it also prevents...

    ESPN Calls Role-playing "Bad Fantasy"

    As part of the 4E release WotC actually had a whole campaign making fun of its own players showing how quaint and ridiculous people that played the previous editions were, compared to the SUPER SNAZZY COOL 4E. So, yeah....what goes around, comes around.

    Cubicle 7 announces Age of Sigmar RPG

    That's fantastic! That way I can safely ignore the Age of Shitmar bovine excrement and just take a look at the Old World version.

    What's a good Planescape intro adventure for 2nd level primes?

    Get them in touch with an Arcanaloth in a Sigil tavern, get them involved in a low-level (as in not very important, not related to character level) weapons smuggling operation that is supposed to help "the good guys", reveal at the end a plot by the Arcanaloth to deliver a bunch of cursed...

    Could a Tu-160 Carry a 20m Cargo Container?

    The Tupolev 160 is not a widebody, so a standard container would likely stick out in a few places. It would obviously have to be converted to do so, but if you're converting it into a spaceship anyway, why not?

    (Planescape) Factions and the average Sigil resident

    Cagers. As in "people who live in the Cage." IIRC of course.

    D&D 5E Beyond Feudalism: Innovative Settings

    Of course YMMV, but from what I see DM's doing with their worlds, there's already very, very, very little Feudalism in most D&D campaigns. There are certainly nobles, peasants, the clericy, castles and so on, but almost none of it actually fits with historical Feudalism in most of its different...

    D&D 5E What belongs in a $50 PHB?

    My preference would be for a PHB that has in it material that is truly pertinent to players. That means character creation, equipment, spells and a general understanding of the rules. This could actually be a traditional book at a price tag of 30 bucks. Then, I'd rather have the DMG and MM as a...

    Do creatures in your games take actions according to their mental stats?

    I understand where you're coming from, but here is what I do (having also not been blessed with supra-genius intelligence): The Dragon's intelligence can be interpreted as a sort of precognition ability. If the players can think of something, the Dragon has likely thought about it before them...

    Non-D&D Fantasy Games - the best and why?

    I'll take this to mean non-D20, otherwise Conan D20 would be right up there in the list. Here is my list, in order of Awesome as All Hell (#1 ) to Still Freaking Awesome, But Not as Much as the Other Ones (#4 ): #1 Warhammer FRP - Gritty, evocative, sometimes downright scary, with deadly...
