    Which game books most inspire the "sense of wonder" in you?

    Now I’m old and jaded, but I still treasure the massive rush of SOW I got from Runequest 2e and its fantastic supplements.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    I sometime mess up my YT algorithms by minor binging US gun nut stuff, like Demolition Ranch and such. To me as a northern European that stuff is insane, almost surreal.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    No, but I forgot to mention in my post that I use Jackass and the British variant Dirty Sanches like comfort food. So stupid, so thrashy, so entertaining.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    I love grimdark RPGs. I am also a sucker for the various TV series versions of Anne of the Green Gables. Just can’t help it, it’s like a palate cleanser from our messed up and dying real world.

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Thanks! Well, keyboard and mouse is superior, but the iPad ports are surprisingly playable. It just slow down the gameplay a bit, which is fine in my situation.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    Matt often has interesting things to say, but I just can’t stand his forced voice and manners.

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    I’m currently on a drawn out hospital stay to fix my heart and get a pacemaker. So I’m replaying the old Baldurs Gate games on my iPad. Good stuff that are kind to the blood pressure 😄

    D&D (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    I agree, but I’m happy to pass the role of dedicated magic damage dealer to one of the other full caster classes.

    D&D (2024) Fireball is a C Tier Spell

    I’m fine with the wizard being mainly a controller and utility dude, like in many other d20 systems.

    Combating My Own Boredom as a Player

    I haven’t been a player since the 80ies, it’s simply not fun to me.

    D&D General Should Gnomes be Tiny

    This. Since every PC is the same in 5e - 30’ move, no race limit for stats etc - this would raw allow an all Smurf party 😍

    GMing without an inner monologue.

    Is it now we start up the Sapir-Whorf vs Chomsky fight? 😀

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Doing a quick sidestep from my planned reading with a re-read of Paul Austers New York trilogy. Still incredibly good!

    Old School Essentials

    I only own Hole and Incandescent of the adventures, but to me they are masterclasses of how commercial adventures should be written and structured, with almost zero unnecessary fat. They are probably the most zero prep of any adventures I've read. Now, I'm a 99% home-brew GM, but the OSE...

    The ENWorld Electric Bard Gear (Etc) Thread

    I started playing bass when I was 8, and studied for a couple of great guys in my teens. I was touring for 4 years in my early 20ies, but somewhere there I lost my passion, playing became more of a work to pay my bills. So I decided to keep music as a hobby, started Uni instead, and have only...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Videogames (primarily on PC) has been a part of my life since I spent nights playing Elite on the C64 in front of an analog TV til my eye globes bled from static overload. My PC gaming probably peaked around the golden years of the og Baldurs gate and Fallout games - nowadays I can't understand...

    Let's talk Virtual Tabletops!

    Yes, one can build bare bones system support in Foundry. But: For my group using VTT play with Discord video and voice is a necessary compromise with a handful of downsides, it will never replace the full experience of in person play. To party compensate for that, good VTT automation allow us...

    Let's talk Virtual Tabletops!

    I only GM via VTT, and my primary system is Savage Worlds with home-brewed campaigns. Despite being a humanities guy who's shamefully non-techy, I'm very happy with Foundry. There are lots of community made mods for various degrees of automation etc, and the commercial cores and companions for...

    Warhammer Fantasy The Old World RPG (TOW) is not WFRP Revised

    Since I want The Old World without the 4e system, I’ll definitely buy this to check it out.
