    Player Engagement Outside of Session Time

    I'm a player (a rare opportunity) in a new SWADE game set in The Seven Worlds. We're all busy professionals with families so we're going through some growing pains. First, set up (especially character gen) always takes up more time in the beginning. So a bit more is expected. In this case, we...

    Star Wars: Andor

    Yeah, I agree with this. I really enjoy the show but the "find my sister" arc is all but abandoned during these later episodes. I assume it will be a thread that will be picked up in later seasons, or supply the zinger in this one. But the story could be tighter. That being said, I really like...

    Highlander & Street Fighter

    As you probably know, there was a SF game by White Wolf. It's OOP but I know I snagged hard copies of some old supplements (the core rules may be difficult to get). However, WW had remnants of that in Shards of the Exalted Dream for Exalted and World of Darkness: Combat. For Highlander, I'm...

    Star Wars: Andor

    I’m also hoping that word of mouth will garner the show more attention over time. It really is a good show and hope others will eventually see it for themselves.

    Star Wars: Andor

    Can you elaborate? Is there some tracker on viewership?

    Star Wars: Andor

    Watched the last episode and I have to say, this is just as good as the Mandalorian IMHO. Are there one or two more seasons? I read S1 is halfway but thought there was going to be a S3. That said, this makes me want to run a burgeoning Rebellion campaign! I love how the rebels are a rag-tag...

    Deadpool 3: He said yes!!!!

    I’m waiting for someone on the net who reads lips to transcribe. Shouldn’t be too difficult?

    Anime on Netflix

    Another vote for Death Note. I couldn’t stop binging it. And the soundtrack is fantastic!

    Broken Weave Is A Tragic Fantasy Setting From Cubicle 7

    I’m getting Dark Sun vibes too (and less Gamma World).

    How do you find new RPG books/games?

    So online communities like this one would fall under Other? That seemed a bit odd. But yeah, online forums tends to be my main source, followed by Friends (fellow gamers) and a distant third FLGS. The last one is a major source of impulse buys though.

    Tales of Xadia: The Dragon Prince RPG Has Launched

    Received my preordered hard copy as well. Going to rewatch the series as I read the rules. Hoping to talk with two players this weekend to make characters and run a quick scenario.

    Moon Knight - SPOILERS

    Interesting. I followed Moon Knight in the 90s iirc and he was just a brawler then. The last scene of the episode at least points to super strength. Looking forward to the power up.

    Two Movies: Free Guy and The King's Man

    I watched Free Guy on a plane as well and surprisingly enjoyed it. It’s not a movie I’d go out and see but it’s good as a streaming movie. Haven’t seen Kings Man yet but will, out of completeness. Pity about the reviews but I’m not surprised. The trailers didn’t intrigue me at all tho the cast...

    Extra Credits: Tabletop Industry 'Extinction Level Event'

    Steam sells some popular board games; I’ve gotten a few during the pandemic. Gloomhaven is fairly new. One of my faves appeared last year IIRC and I’m eager to play: The Fury of Dracula. I also came across GAME ON TABLE TOP • Game On Table Top but have yet to play on it.

    Critical Role The Legend of Vox Machina: Bawdy, Bloody, and Funny

    I'm not a fan of CR (actual play) but I'm really enjoying the show. It's humorous but also brutal, akin to the level of violence in Goblin Slayer (minus the controversy in that series' first episode). I like the world too, specially how magic is portrayed, de Rolo's seemingly new "character...

    Dune 2d20 - Our campaign

    Sounds very cool. Look forward to seeing more. How many players are there? I have Dune and I’m curious whether a smaller group (say 2-3) is better than 3-5?

    D&D 5E Anyone using the Sidekick rules for PCs in their games?

    My First Game: Top Secret/SI

    I played a lot more non-D&D games, starting with Top Secret 1e. I really liked TS/SI and ran it for a couple of years. Really liked the location hp and how your HTH roll would determine damage and location (IIRC). I had sold my copy but re-purchased it around years ago to run my kids through a...
