    Lovecraftian Corruption In Your Role-Playing Campaigns

    You've put some serious thought in to this, I can tell. Not trying to start anything here but as someone who has closely felt the effects of mental illness I can honestly say that in the end it's just a game. It has nothing to do with real life. Some people have problems distinguishing between...

    Building The Modern World For Your Campaigns

    I have so many of the Palladium RPGs but I've only ever played TMNT and even then only a handful of times.

    Is D&D Too Focused on Combat?

    The focus of the game depends on the DM and players. I've gone 10 sessions or more without combat sometimes because the players were more interested in the political intrigue and mysteries I had sprinkled throughout the city they were in. They actively avoided combat by using social graces and...

    Explore Friendship, Magic And Ponies In Tails Of Equestria Role-Playing Game

    Read it cover-to-cover because I have a little girl interested in RPGs. It's simple and easy to understand. :)

    Where Do They Come From? Part Two

    So I researched what you were talking about and yes, it is 100% like Tucker's Kobolds. I guess I'm not the only DM to come up with that idea. lol

    Where Do They Come From? Part Two

    I use a clan of kobolds in my campaign as a lessons-learned kind of scenario. I take a normally easy monster and make them organized, militaristic. The Kobolds, for instance, are frequently hired out as mercenaries because of their effectiveness. Last time the party went up against the Ironscale...

    Who You Gonna Call? Looking At West End Games' Ghostbusters RPG

    Unfortunately for me the copy I picked up was used and it wasn't treated with collector's care. There is dishing on the cover and one side of the box is torn. The cards aren't in the greatest shape but they all seem to be there. Plus I have the GM screen and adventure and Hot Rod of the Gods and...

    Who You Gonna Call? Looking At West End Games' Ghostbusters RPG

    You know, I have this game but I never played it. I might unload my copy.

    Next RPG to invest in, need some help.

    A fair assessment to be sure. I just recently sold all of my FFG Star Wars books because the system wasn't for us either. It was a little clunky.

    Next RPG to invest in, need some help.

    Most definitely! I have the Cypher System book. I guess the system is just not for them.

    Next RPG to invest in, need some help.

    So I tried running a campaign of The Strange, which I backed at the print lover level, my group enjoyed it but that group is gone. I live in a military town so my players often get out of the military or get orders. My newest group has no real interest in The Strange which is funny because none...

    Very nice. Good recommendations all, I'll give them a look. Keep them coming, everyone else! :)

    Next RPG to invest in, need some help.

    So I've been in the market for a new RPG. Not just something to pretty up my shelf, something my players and I will enjoy. So far my group is all about 5e. They enjoyed the story and world in Shadowrun but not the rules, too crunchy. So let's preface this question a little, I own quite a few...

    The Funniest RPG Moment

    We've all had those moments much like Cards Against Humanity where you get that certain card combination that your brain has a hard time processing. The one you can't stop laughing at, you laugh so hard you cry. I've had quite a few at the RPG table. I could use a good laugh so share your...

    Devious Phylactery Hiding places.

    Honestly what I did to mess with my party I gave them a magic ring. Upon first identification (They didn't hit the DC to identify all of the effects of the ring) it came up as a Ring of Protection +3. They carried that ring for the longest time wondering how the lich in question knew where they...

    Top Secret: New World Order

    Having just sold my remaining copies of TS and TS:SI I can honestly say that they need to do something to shine to really compete. I think most people who back it will be die-hard fans of the system. There are so many RPGs out there that can do a good job at this type of setting. All that being...

    New Dwarven Forge Kickstarter kicked off over the weekend...tempted, but...

    They are now offering sets of the original dungeon tiles on the Kickstarter, much cheaper for those on a budget!

    New Dwarven Forge Kickstarter kicked off over the weekend...tempted, but...

    So from one of the updates, apparently they might offer some of the original tiles. They might be a little cheaper than these fancy ones. Keep your eyes peeled guys, I have a huge set of the originals and it was well worth it. :)

    New Dwarven Forge Kickstarter kicked off over the weekend...tempted, but...

    Honestly it's made from a powdery substance so priming first is a must. I tried to just wash it and it didn't stick well. I did a wipe-and-prime method and it worked quite well. It all depends on what material you use to make the actual tiles. The better quality stuff helps.

    New Dwarven Forge Kickstarter kicked off over the weekend...tempted, but...

    My wife won't let me use an actual fog machine unfortunately so what I do when I want to hide something is I drape a cloth over it. I'm actually in the market for a dark-colored tablecloth just for this purpose as a matter of fact. I just haven't found anything that fits. I've also been...
