    What Does the RPG Hobby Need Now?

    A Bits & Mortar equivalent for digital content purchased for Virtual TableTop. I really dislike having to buy the same publication 2 times over, or even worse 3 times - VTT, print & PDF. I really appreciate Bits & Mortar for print books. For VTT content though, currently Paizo is the only...

    RPG Gear: Playing cards

    Yup, I'm aware of the SWADE era oversized decks.. However, when I physically checked them out at a LGS, while larger than a regular set of playing cards, they weren't as large as my SWD oversized deck. When Peginc called the SWD Oversized deck oversized, they weren't kidding - the cards are...

    RPG Gear: Playing cards

    I really like my Savage Worlds Oversized Action Deck published by Pinnacle Entertainment. Sadly they're no longer in stock at their store - not even sure they're still being published. What I appreciate them the most for, is when running the SWADE-styled chases. I have a number of players that...

    What Video Game RPG System Do You Want to See Adapted to Tabletop

    Nope, I wasn't referring to the Devlebound community adapatation of the Elder Scrolls. I was referring to the Elsweyr adventure that Bethesda Netherlands published for 5e and then pulled due to accusations of plagerism. It was claimed with good evidence, that it was a reskinning of Page...

    What Video Game RPG System Do You Want to See Adapted to Tabletop

    I hadn't heard of a Oblivion Remaster. I'm happy for that and will no doubt buy it, as I -and a few other players I've read about- have some issues running it on PC. No problem running it on Xbox Series X, but sadly no mod support for that version. I too would like to see an official adapation...

    What Video Game RPG System Do You Want to See Adapted to Tabletop

    I've always wanted the Gothic series of video games to be officially adapted to a TTRPG. I've played all 3 and although they had some warts in terms of gameplay, I enjoyed them all. I was always impressed by the world-buidling in them - especially G3 with its 3 distinct regions of Myrtana...

    Role Playing in Westeros (Game of Thrones/HotD)

    I recently rewatched all of the HBO series and went on to rread the 1st 3 novels. While doing both it came to mind often if the setting could be handled well using the Pendragon TTRPG. I'm fairly new to Pendragon 6e and are currently awaiting the GM Guide, but possibly using it for ASOIAF is...

    Do Tariffs Apply To RPG Books? Maybe, Maybe Not!

    With the risk of sounding pessimistic and cynical... If this ever got discussed at an Excecutive Branch meeting, I can imagine it might go like this: Executive Branch staff person: "What about these tabletop roleplaying game books? Are they books like standard books, or are they 'arcade, table...

    SF Adventures in the Solar System?

    While I haven't run The Expanse, I own it and wouldn't agree it's system heavy. It's based upon Green Ronin's Modern Age (Adventure Gaming Engine) rules which is the same rules light system that Dragon Age and Fantasy Age use. I've used those rules for Dragon Age and homebrewed campaigns and IMO...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    True - I can live with paying 10% more. Chaosium's Pendragon GM Guide is supposed to be available next month, so I'm hoping it's the lower tariff.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Cool - even more hopeful.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I'm grateful for the 90 day pause, as I'm now a bit more hopeful that I'll be able to buy the Pendragon GM guide without paying additional tariffs. It's Chaosium tho & I have no idea if they print their books in China? Does anyone know if they do or don't?

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I'm betting those are lower than the typical figures for TTRPG books (print) sales to Canada. I for one no longer participate in kickstarters for USA Publishers due to the high cost of shipping to Canada - only participated in 2 post Covid. It used to be most kickstarters would allow for...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    Similar to what FitzTheRuke said about GW; many TTRPG books and games from the EU and UK reach Canada after being distributed to the USA first. It's based upon convenience and economy of scale. EU and UK publishers just ship to the bigger USA market and a USA distributor takes care of Canadian...

    How Would Your Favorite Game System Handle This?

    The TTRPG I regularly run that would handle the OP scenario in a structured way with subsystems is Savage Worlds. You could run it easily via its already mentioned dramatic tasks, as well as its quick encounters and social conflicts. I've had little problem runnning such scenrios in a timely...

    What Does Your Dream VTT Do/Look Like?

    I use Fantasy Grounds and Foundry and have previously used roll20, but I don't have a favorite. They all do some things well and others not so well, so IMO none is ideal. I'll ditto being able to support other game types like tabletop miniatures and board games. With true Player vs Player...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    I've been homebrewing a Paleolithic setting for a while. It's set in the now extinct Berring land bridge, which historians refer to as Beringia. I was inspired by comment's by the coordinator of the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center, who wished there was a TTRPG which could support students...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    There were a number of Pulp setttings, companions and adventures created for Savage Worlds. Triple Ace Games published their Daring Tales series and Adamant Entertainment has their Thilling Tales series. The latter has a companion of the same name that's a quality product with wide coverage of...

    Favourite mecha RPGs

    Yes this is what I do with a number of TTRPGs + the Battletech Alpha Strike miniatures rules. I tried GMing A Time of War (official Battletech RPG), but eventually neither my players or I cared for it. Tried 2 earler editions of MechWarrior too, but they both posed problems. I'm now running Mech...
