I play a bit of skirmish miniatures games and they just have the best mix of quality and price on those products. Their plan is clear, make simple rules for miniatures agnostic games. They have a game for every type of miniature you already own. Brilliant.

Damnit. They got me. Bought Sigil & Shadow. This will be the fifth product from Osprey in about a year that I have been lured into purchasing with no ability to play and Seventh product overall in the last four years. Whatever they are doing over there it is working on me.

Sigil and Shadow looks very cool. I have been such a good boy lately about buying games I could never get anyone to play but...

My older brother and his friends had been playing mostly DC Comics RPG but they had deemed me to young. Eventually they let me play with them and the first game I really was allowed to play was WEG Star Wars. We bounced around a lot though, playing Teenagers From Outer Space, Champions. The...

I think "pulp" is one of those genres that time has nearly forgotten, which is too bad. Are there any games in this genre currently being printed from big publishers? I haven't done my research.

In D&D specifically it just becomes a game of "look what I can do" as players take turns whipping out the fruits of their long planned builds. This is fine but clearly not everyone's taste. I think what is missing at higher levels are skill challenges, investigations and role play because these...

This is indeed the expectation of the table. Not even laid out by me but the other players at the table. This one person just isn't really playing is the gist of it.

I have been doing the carrot and stick for some time. They give me few chances for carrots so its been a lot of stick but I never do anything random or something that is out of scope of the campaign. No random bolts of lightning, it has to make sense. It is the age old problem of spouses. One...

Pointless in character arguments. Leveling in the middle of the session. #1 Thing at my sunday table that makes me want to scream are specifc people at the table who never do anything unless prompted by me or the other players. As the GM I am done prompting people and have been done for a long...

I'd read that book.

By the end of last session, two of four players had fallen asleep and one dropped out in the last 30 mins. The problem with VTTs is people feel less committed imo.

I don't really know what adding -punk to things means now. If I were to call something Carpentrypunk what would it be?

I read one from Dungeon #19 that was very funny. The Vanishing Village, a herd of mimic like creatures that appear as a village and mimic sounds of people inside until someone knocks.

There are things I missed in the timelines while I was away from these worlds. The Netherese apparently came back to Faerun and dropped a city on Myth Drannor and Orduilin. News to me.

Tasty.

I thought this was the case. They must have stopped doing it well before issue 100 though. I couldn't find a single one between like issue 60-130. Edit: To be fair, I skimmed these issues and didn't check them all.

Evocative cover. Correct me of I am wrong, but we are getting to that era where most of the articles are themed together and the covers match the theme, not to say this cover represents other planes. I was reading through a bunch of issues the other day, mining them for ideas for my current 5e...

A slow moving train is apt for the roll out of WFRP 4e books.

I would add failing a con check while sleeping in armor. The heavier the armor the higher the check.

You can't help but me impressed by the Buscema art. And silly me it was Marvel not DC. DC was doing D&D comics a little later. In particular Issue #41 of the original Marvel run of Conan is very good. Something happened in that issue that truly rattled Conan and came up again and again...
