That's true. Almost always my Top Secret adventures were run solo.

I would like to publish my campaign world as a setting book, but I'm unclear on what I can do with the OGL. Can I create D&D 5e stats for my NPCs and monsters, or must my work remain system neutral? I don't even know, and I've looked at it.

Back in the 1980's, TSR put out a great game called Top Secret. It had everything you needed to run great spy adventures. What happened to Top Secret, and why is it no longer sold in stores? And where are the other great spy RPGs? I know there are "modern" RPGs, but nothing I know of is...

I'm a lawyer, so I'm going to approach this from a lawyer's point of view. The modern legal system ruins adventures. And that's why fantasy is much easier to make an adventure for than science fiction, because fantasy almost always assumes a world with a non-existent legal system, while...

I'm actually having the opposite problem. It used to be I was the only DM, because no one else wanted to do it. Now, everyone in my group wants to DM and it's hard to squeeze in everyone's campaign. I haven't DM'd for months now, and I'm getting antsy.

The mistakes of my players are just as important as their successes in determining the fate of my world. Sometimes, the fate of my world has been critically altered because the players refused the quest. As the most extreme example, a halfling country was protected from invasion by a magic...

I had a country in my world where the land was ruled by a female ruler, who did not allow her people to own anything, but held everything in common. She discovered, to her shock and chagrin, that seeds were not planted at planting time, and the crops that were grown were not gathered during the...

My ex-wife had a lot of disagreements, but one thing that was understood is that she did not interfere with my roleplaying. You need to have a discussion with your wife, and explain that to her.

Most of my important NPCs are powerful women, but not because I'm being politically correct. The fact is, my daughters think I have very traditional ideas about the role of men and women in the world, and my ex-wife and I had a very traditional marriage, with me working and supporting the...
