I've been playing in a sci-fi SWADE setting (Seven Worlds) so hoping to scratch a few itches on the fantasy side. First, I got a (fairly inexpensive but on discount) SW fantasy scenario on Drivethrurpg. It's a dungeon crawl, but will use that to try out how SWADE handles fantasy. Second, I've...

Is this streaming now? Cuz I’ve stopped watching it in theaters (saw it twice) knowing I will eventually buy it.

As mindless summer fare, it actually looks interesting. I’d see it if a friend suggest it. Otherwise, probably wait for streaming. However, it may be fun if they played it at a drive in on a nice summer day.

So one thing we also did was use Dailies as a "pool" of powers. When a player spent an Action Point, he chose to activate any one of his Dailies [1]. This influenced power selection since players chose a wider variety. In play, they chose the Daily that was the "best tool for the job", whether...

Thinking more about my experiments with 4e, that you may find useful: Milestones (briefly mentioned above) were a "lever" that tried to encourage parties to continue adventuring. A milestone was met every 2 encounters. You gained an action point, and initially, an extra use of a magic item...

The setting sounds intriguing and I'm a fan of the 2d20 system. But I really don't need another game right now :rolleyes: Tempting... :unsure:

So, I ran a 4e Dark Sun campaign to early Paragon and a few Nentir Vale one-shots and a short campaign. I mainly ran complicated set pieces b/c 4e was awesome about that (including phased boss fights). I played around with different attrition models until I settled on a certain method, which...

I would watch it.

The movie looks fun and I’m probably going to watch in the theaters - but probably not on opening weekend. First movie was a solid B. I think the additional Marvels will make this better than the first.

So it’s not clear in the OP if the choice is whether we want WotC to publish Dark Sun or someone publish Dark Sun, bc my vote is the latter. I definitely DON’T want WotC to develop and publish it in-house. I think there are great writers and designers who can do it justice (and hopefully make a...

Theater was 90% full. Enjoyed the movie and plan to see it again with some friends who didn’t see the early screening.

Bought tickets for this Sunday as well - can’t wait to finally see it!

I’d rather they give someone else the opportunity than to allow the setting to languish. The interview is sad news but makes it clear Dark Sun isn’t coming from WotC. So why not give someone else the shot? I don’t care if it’s from WotC or not - I just want it to be good.

I think WotC should do a Request for Proposal (publicly or behind the scenes) for submissions how a writer/studio would approach Dark Sun with modern sensibilities. If they find the right partner, they license it (with approval rights) but not under the WotC banner (to avoid implicating their...

I haven't ran a Dramatic Task yet under SWADE but have a load of xp with 4e Skill Challenges (SCs). My reading of DT is that it's a bit restrictive and much prefer the SC approach. I like the freeform process of SCs and especially don't like restricting it to "rounds" like in combat. I found...

2023 is the year I'll be exploring SWADE and I can't be more excited. I started with Deadlands back in the day and backed the kickstarter for the new version, mainly out of nostalgia. I had played prior editions (Explorer, Deluxe) but with SWADE, I'll actually be GMing it. I find SWADE to be a...

I've gotten a few systemless books for reference or inspiration. A few for Star Trek and Star Wars. Got an atlas or something for Witcher. An artbook for Cyberpunk 2077 to get into Cyberpunk RED (and after watching Edgerunners). And an artbook/guide for The Dragon Prince since my kids are fans...

I'm hoping this OGL Fiasco will result in at least a few game systems becoming more popular. I remember a time when Storyteller (Vampire) seemed to eclipse D&D for awhile. Personally, I am completely enamored with SWADE right now. It's hitting the right level of crunch and story elements I tend...

I'm a bit more tolerant of that b/c knowing that stuff is self-rewarding. Like in 7Worlds, one of the players runs a Psion (psionic). SWADE rules aren't that complicated tbh. So if that player hadn't read the general rules on Psionics beforehand, I would be fine explaining it (roll this to...

I pretty much play TTRPG online exclusively now (on Fantasy Grounds). The only exception is during special occasions with family. But all my regular gaming is online, which is the main reason in fact gaming has become regular. As for what I would keep electronic versus analog? Of the four you...
