You said Marshall Law? (The comic is strong stuff, because it was meant to be offensive.) Lovely comic though.

Write an article “Are you too emotionally invested in the success of your favorite tabletop RPGs? How the opinions of others and marketing of competitors is not changing things as much as you think!” My prompt

ETU is Eastern Texas University a settings book for Savage Worlds DriveThruRPG (I don’t know if it allows supernatural Player Characters.) Rippers Resurrected is another Savage Worlds setting DriveThruRPG (supernatural Player Characters?) Deadlands Noir is another Savage Worlds setting...

I am going to be a little different with my advice. Look for OSR adventures that seem really new and exciting. This will help narrow your search in a few ways. 1. Helps you find a new that is exciting! 2. Helps you determine what a specific OSR system does well. 3. Maybe a specific OSR system...

2025 is going to be a platinum year for RPGs and Ben Riggs can cry about it! 😆😆

You could pull some thematic imagery from King Arthur! Keep people really guessing.

The poll is really fun and I am happy to have contributed nominations and voted in it! I also want others to have fun and not expect anything deeper from it. 😊

Then how would you feel if Kickstarters asked people to sign up for ENWorld in June in anticipation of voting in December? How would you feel about the purity of the results then?

There are a few problems with this idea: 1. People who have had accounts for 6 months are swayed by these requests. 2. People are genuinely excited for these games and being honest about it. 3. Most of the people are voting for 2 additional games, ones they are not swayed by. 4. Forum users are...

I should try Obsidian, it might help me a lot.

I studied computer programming in college and had some really hard and frustrating books to deal with. Hopefully I can avoid rulebooks that go down that path.

I really appreciate the idea of studying the rule book with a cheat sheet of the rules in hand. Maybe also a blank character sheet and a few pre generated characters. Also, getting to a point where I can run short combat scenarios or other scenarios sounds good.

What guidance is there for taking more organized and usable notes while reading RPG rulebooks? How do you find the key parts that really drive an RPG compared to the many details that confuse and overwhelm? I have resolved to learn a few new RPG rulesets for 2025. But my previous experiences...

That is part of my idea the PCs are super rich! They can dish out legal system punishment etc as the antagonist can. Or then can have vampire blood feud melee combat in secluded mansions.

City of Mist is a popular RPG, it’s not hard to imagine that long term fans were interested in it outside of a modern urban fantasy setting. Plus, there have been multiple hints of rule streamlining and fixing that appeal to City of Mist players who want these new rules.
