Congratulations! I enjoy coming here! Thank you.

Deserving. An awesome book!

I really enjoyed the interview. I have Brindlewood Bay but haven't run it yet. I really need to remedy that. Looks like such a fun game. And elderly females are definitely underepresented in the rpg field. I can't believe I'm actually at the edge of this bracket. 🤔

I played: Mausritter OSE Level Up Dragonbane 5e Shadowdark I Ran: OSE Old Gods of Appalachia Vaesen Level Up Fate (Star Trek) One Ring Next year I want to dive into Wildsea, which has an excellent setting and rules system.

Yes, exactly. We haven't seen this huge disparity between martial and casters either. Casters simply cannot mimic all other class abilities all day long and dominate the battlefield. They don't have nearly enough slots for that. I'd like to see cantrips toned down though. What happened to...

I played in Grammy's Country Apple pie a while back. It's great fun, even with no kids. We're still talking about it!

I played and ran a lot of Marvel SAGA. Loved it, especially character creation.

Guidelines for Theatre of the Mind play would be helpful.

After decades of play and many druid characters, I used Druidic for the very first time a couple of months ago. I was so excited! Come on, the payoff was so worth it. Can't remember the exact details, but I used Druidic, in an actual role playing scene!

And I'm sure players with proficiency in Blacksmith tools are going to ask if they can make a MW weapon, and get a spellcaster to cast magic weapon on it, and Voila, a +1 weapon! If the answer is you need a special in a bastion, well that opens up a whole new line of potentially awkward...

I played Champions many years ago, and although I had fun, I wouldn't go back. Way too crunchy. I found making characters a trial and I usually love making characters. All those points and ways to combine powers to reduce the costs! It was too much. Actually playing worked better, but I prefer...

Definitely a positive vote here too. My druids always have this spell. It's a cantrip, so you always have a good weapon at hand, using your Wis.stat. Not even sure it needs a buff, since in my mind, it exists to bypass the druid's weapon selection by buffing the staff and using wisdom. I'd...

I love this story. Everyone coming to the table to play, playing their way, and enjoying the game, I bet.

I do this quite a bit too.

We just picked up Meguey and Vincent Baker's "Under Hollow Hills." Anyone ran or played it? The characters are part of a travelling circus under the Hollow Hills and into the mortal world as well. Have just started reading it.

I've had a lot of fun with Dungeon World. I don't think it's a horrible version of PbTA at all. Masks is a fantastic game for running a "Young" Justice" style game. It's pretty upfront about its themes, so I never got the criticism that it can't do traditional superheros well. It's not supposed...

Well now, the Kefka laugh is running on a loop through my brain! 😂

Loved those games. Sure were challenging compared to modern computer rpgs. I remember my group wandering out into the wilderness and starving to death. 😂

Yep, I get it! Sometimes game mechanics play better than they read. I had all kinds of reservations with 13th Age, for example. Then I played it and fell in love. I have STA but haven't played it yet. I really want to run Star Trek but it never seems to happen, although I'm now looking at...

I'm having trouble with clerics. There should be a lot of domains to choose from, as there are a myriad of deities in most campaigns. Maybe WotC should have not used domains as archetypes? Maybe clerical domains should be more along the lines of scholar, missionary, etc. Too late now.
