The thing that first turned me off to this game was the bundle hey released with all the decks. It gave me the feeling that to play this game I needed the books, tons of decks, etc. Put the game in the “premium” and out of reach, category for me. Kinda like the Star Trek RPG, the Borg Cube was...

I am very fond of the http://justonemorefix.com/ podcast. I don't always agree with them, but they have good discussions on how to run RPGs for adults and kids.

What I’m getting out of this book, is it’s the Megazord of Plane Shifts. Or it’s the Ravnica Players Guide, I’ve often commented I wanted more out of them, this books seems like that more. For the game master you probably need to get the Art of Magic Ravnica book that is due out in January. All...

Kaladesh was my favorite of them all. It would make a terrible D&D world but it had a ton of fun ideas. one of the items on my bucket list is to run Curse of Strahd in Innistrad, but amp up the Colonial-horror vibe by putting in some guns.

Not that I need much of an excuse to get it, considering I got all the other books. But it sounds like the Guild Masters Guide to Ravnica is the mother of all Plane Shifts, or maybe like the "Players Guide to Ravnica." And getting the Art book might be a required purchase to get all the fluff.

Can we do the top 11? Cuz we all know Call of Cthulhu will get first, but the top ten beyond that will be interesting.

Look no further than your friendly neighborhood mall for answers... they are obviously on wheels and moved out of the way when not in use. Thats silly, the sound that comes out of an animals back isn't a beep. But you pay attention when you hear something that big make it. Building maintenance...

im pretty sure it’s an Easter egg for the MtG players. The fungus Druid is very flavored around Golgari, who in Magic are green and black mana. Poison is green, and Necrotic is Black in this case.

This game is the result after a fashion, the mmo fell apart and the company went under. The license was snapped up and the new company made the Kingmaker RPG.

4th isn’t a bad game, it’s just not a very good version of D&D. And if you can automate some of the more intense quirks of the system, like I have a feeling roll 20 can, it would be a blast to play on a computer.

A few years ago I bought the X-Crawl stuff for 3X D&D at a going out of business ess sale. I thought it was a fantastic and silly setting and tried to run it once. The problem is my players were having a hard time getting into the spirit of playing characters who had interpersonal conflicts. If...

It's based on a variant of the normal Call of Cthulhu rules set. Converting an adventure over to this is relatively easy. The biggest hurtle is re-setting it in the modern day, more than a rules conversion.

Hey there, we kicked off Scooby Doo month over at the site, and got the 100 pound snack out of the way. For our first article we are doing a Canine race called the Anunna Hound. Plus today we posted a racial feat for it! http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/05/02/and-your-dog-too/

My writing partner Trevor wrote out a series of 8 encounters inspired by fairy lore and fairy tales, to round out our month based on Fairy Tales! http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/04/25/fairy-tale-encounters/

For those that like Phased Boss Fights check out my new article. While it is not completely released, it did spawn out of my thought experiments to make interesting antagonists for D&D. It's been a slow burn ever since I watched "New Nightmare" last Halloween, that all came together one car ride...

This weeks article is now live! When I called dibs on the Big Bad Wolf it seemed like the perfect time to explore more ideas on making boss fights more interesting. A monster that has a plausible reason to return from the dead over and over, like Jason, Hammer film Dracula, or Michael Myers. My...

5 out of 5 rating for Fantasy AGE Core Rulebook This review appeared originally at http://www.forgotmydice.com In a world where D&D exists, one of the questions I often find myself asking when I read fantasy RPG systems is this: Why am I playing this when I could be playing D&D? It’s a simple...

Also I'd like to give a mental high five to my wife, who got the art work for this one done, she was really sick all this weekend. She finished this up between feverish naps.

We are doing articles inspired by fairy tales this month. Today we bring you the Jack, a rogue archetype based on luck and bravado. http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/04/11/jack-be-nimble-jack-be-quick/

The reason I suggest that is I had way to many "boss monsters" only activate once before dying, using the rules as written. I ended up straight adding a HP bonus to things I wanted to last a little longer. Typically in the 100 to 300 range by the end of the game depending on the encounter. So I...
