This is a no brainer. You want dungeon world, it fits exactly what you want. I mean... why are you finishing reading post instead of getting dungeon world! The only other game that kind of comes close is savage worlds. But im being super sereal... dungeon world.

As far as I know, it's never really explicit on which number goes where. It's not like police are going to come and arrest you for doing it different than other people. personally I never put the scores in the big box because.. well how many times during a game do you actually use ability scores...

Huh doesn't seem to garner interest, eh. I know most people play computer RPGs if they are solo but there isn't really any different between playing a D&D game by yourself and playing one on the computer... other than the clearly obvious ease of gameplay letting the computer work the system. But...

I recently made a topic about how much I enjoyed the D&D board games (Castle ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon etc ) and pitch out an idea of giving enemies a specific way to operate in battle, just for the benefit of new DM's or those who aren't sure how to actually play a certain...

So this stuff is absolutely amazing, but I can't get excited about it because I can never figure out how I would sort these things or make enough space for them. I love the concept though, I can't even manage dungeon tiles effectively but I love using them when I can. I think this might be good...

It's not just about how many options X creature has in combat, the majority of the idea is portraying -HOW- a creature acts in combat regardless of what they can do. An Orc, and Elf, and a Beholder are all going to act extremely differently than one another in battle. I know that if the MM had...

Oh yeah, that completely slipped my mind, I don't use modules very often, but this is a great addition. It's really nice because the scenarios are usually set up so there's minimal randomness.

Clearly there's no possible way to anticipate every possible combination of things to do in D&D. You wouldn't have things like... this monster picks up a bucket of water and throws it on the heroes assuming a bucket of water was around. There would be an infinitely long book of things to do. I...

So I have Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashardalon and haven't played them in ages, the other night I actually got to whip them out and play a game. After we finished I realized that it would be absolutely fantastic if Monster Manual entries had action sequences for DMs who are new, or DMs who...

I guess Indy gencon really is indie now.

Damnit wizards. You almost had it. YOU ALMOST had it. Until this. Your work has to be set in the Forgotten Realms. Additional settings may open up later. I don't want to create adventures in that world you already have that covered. Everyone and their dog already has that covered. Why would I...

So... okay, what's the endgame with these UA articles? Because they keep referencing that they are going to have more playtest and conversions of older stuff. Which, ya know, is good but then you look at the releases that have come out after the main 3 books and it's filled with stuff we never...

I'm absolutely sorry but this thing needs to be taken out behind the shed and shot. The mmo genre is starting to fall so much that even WOW won't report on their subscriber base anymore. Legitimately awesome games like Wild Star were almost dead on arrival and again, those were really really...

Easily Numenera for me. Not even something I have to think about.

Stemming from what ZickZak mentioned, I've always wanted to do a lord of the rings game instead of having the main characters, give one of them the ring and see what happens. I'd suggest doing something similar. The best possible thing you can do is just set up the pieces to a part of the story...

Sorry, had to share this link since Lewis and Clark rarely come up in random internet boards lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll0v-CNCUwE

As I understand it 13th age isn't the D20 system, it's the Archmage Engine, Castles and Crusades has their SEIGE system. The D&D d20 system isn't ruled out either. Im sorry if I didn't make it clear enough or lacked the knowledge of the correct word. It's why I gave examples.

Simple question, what are some of your favorite mechanics from a d20 game? Examples would be Backgrounds as skills ala 13th age, 5th edition's (dis)advantage rule, Escalation die again from 13th age, 4th edition's summoning rules. Perhaps it's a class specific mechanic that hooked you for the...

13th age completely destroyed any love I had for skill systems. The game just does it so elegantly with backgrounds.

Mass effect easily, or Starcraft 2. Dragon Age is already a TTRPG. A fairly successful one I believe. http://www.amazon.com/Green-Ronin-2808-Dragon-Rulebook/dp/193454762X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450144205&sr=8-1&keywords=dragon+age+rpg
