My primary homebrew sits within a bowl of sorts, and the various planes can be reached from physically fixed points on the Prime Material (based on old tales of like real-world Olympus being where the Greek gods could be found, certain volcanic fields in Norway led directly to Niflheim and...

I feel like Asmodee sent the RPGs to Edge to die, I get the sense they only care about the board games and don't have any real interest in RPGs. At best the RPG titles they got from FFG seem to be just held onto and not advanced. Hopefully Mearls gets tapped to bring them back from the brink...

I hate that Asmodee gutted FFG, they made some amazing stuff (notably X-Wing). I hope Mearls is going to them to resurrect their RPG line.

I used to be able to quickly pick up and run groups, with plenty of players eager to be in my game, and I was happy to have them on board. It's been a while now since I started a new group and I'm feeling that itch to try it again. My first group was just my best friends when I discovered D&D...

I'm just there to tell them what happens as a result of their decisions. The pace is in the player's hands. Which usually results in one of the players screeching, "can we at least get down the hall ten feet tonight?"

My God, the Heartbow! My brother and I used to do archery at home after school and that weapon was our dream D&D artifact.

As a player, I'd be interested in the light version, primarily how it might affect my character or the expedition that we're on. As a DM, I'm fascinated by this sort of thing and have been designing entire worlds with different assumptions on how things came to be and what machinations are...

From the old Peter Atkinson letter about the shape of TSR when Wizards bought it, there was a warehouse of 1st edition books "palleted as if to go" still around that apparently were pulped. That was 1998 or '99, so they had been laying about for at least 10 years. I can't say for certainty...

I myself never much like Krull, but all my D&D buddies used to rave about it. I figured in the overall gaming community it was on a pedestal like Holy Grail and Princess Bride. Also, Legend.

#2 would disqualify Pathfinder and Call of Cthulhu from being successful in my neck of the woods, and you'd think people are still only playing 3E D&D.

How Krull doesn't have its own RPG blows my mind. Also, no Neverending Story RPG? For my own homebrew, "Hawk the Slayer" got pulled in, though I think that's '70s...

As much as I liked the cheesy 70's and 80's Conan knock-off movies, I didn't see Deathstalker until recently (out of curiosity, and only the first). Yet, as bad as it can be in its depictions, the more recent Games of Thrones does way worse things during its run (especially the 3rd season; I...

I'd be very surprised if roll20, Foundry and the like haven't already been in communication with Darrington for getting it rolled out to their VTT's.

From what I remember (it's been at least 30 years, always preferred to use B/X's version): After checking & handling surprise, the Caller/PCs make a general statement about intended actions and the DM makes a mental note about what the enemy is doing. Both sides roll 1d6 and the side rolling...

I've enjoyed it way more than I should be. I'm tracking my progress in a journal, and I'm on my 3rd mission in the Gamma Quadrant so far (a sort of Voyager story, having been moved light years from my original patrol area and discovering new worlds while dealing with a possible Dominion...

Is Goodman going to be at Gencon? If so, I imagine they're going to get an earful there.

Call of Cthulhu - my wife won't play anything scary, so my first game was at the local FLGS (first time playing it in 30 years, after having it on my shelf for 15 - whoo!). Wrath and Glory - my regular group likes to inject comedy too much to take the game seriously. Star Trek Adventures -...

Well, there is WEG Star Wars 1st, 2nd and 2nd Revised and Expanded in there, as well as two versions of Wizard's Star Wars (though I was counting each publisher only once). EDIT: Actually, I forgot one for Wizards - they did one based on 3.0, one on 3.5 and then SAGA edition.

Got a feeling the spine is a subtle nod that it works with 2014 or 2024.

Curious, when you say “skinsuit”, are you talking what we in these parts term “reskinning” - taking the stats/mechanics of an existing thing and using it to represent something else? Because the word your using sounds very venomous and borderline hateful when I see it, and from others...
