    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    Because once you cut the wheat (like weapon/armor AC differences etc) from the chaff and house rule the Thief it’s very playable.

    Ran my first session of Star Wars D6: Big Damn Heroes

    Wanted to run a Firefly style game set in the Empire Era. Well we had our first session. A group of Mercs just trying to stay flying. The first adventure is basically the Tatooine Manhunt adventure with some changes here and there. PCs: 2 Mando Bounty Hunters (Thanks Disney) 1 Gungan Kid...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Also, they started trying to hinder each other. As a post below says, it's a system that requires "good faith" from the players all allowing them to "do as though wilt" drags things along. At the end of the day everyone should be having fun IMO. Not just the few who go crazy with power.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Because the game should be fun and challenging. Being able to just have the target trip and fall into your get-away van isn't exciting or fun and made the Run a 5 minute aside instead of an adventure. I can see using the ability to say, find the keycard to get past the locked door but to...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Shadowrun Anarchy has a "The Players get to change and add to the story" element. My group tried it and I frickin' hated it. It came down to either using the ability to make the Run easier or for them to try to top each other and/or vs me the GM trying to stay one step ahead. Like the Run...

    D&D 5E (2024) Bastions in organised play? Can they work?

    I completely forgot they exist. Then again, I've been running official published adventures and those don't really allow for them.

    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    Technically I started with Star Wars, RIFTS, and TMNT which were all me and DM/Friend, but I didn’t really “get” RPGs until I played with a group playing D&D. But it wasn’t until I tried some Vampire the Masquerade did I branch out. Even eventually tried some Shadowrun which I read and loved...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    I have a bunch of minis ive been collected since 3rd ed (and a few from 2nd). I have a lot of Drow thanks to the 3rd ed version of Chainmail. I love having maps and minis when playing D&D in person. I still hate that sometimes I don't have enough bears or hobgoblins and have to proxy things...

    D&D General WizKids Issues Refund for Baldur’s Gate 3 Character Boxed Set

    LOL. I mean thats par for the course. Again, I hate how they sort things. Yeah you can get most of the mains in the big box set but if you want Minthara and Jaheria etc you have to be very lucky or pay $50 a piece for them on ebay. I never did get Sheila from the cartoon because shes $100 on...

    D&D General Arneson, Gygax, and Lawsuits, Oh My! An Actual History of the OG D&D Litigation

    Before anyone else does it I want to get to it first: I don't believe anything you wrote. I've read several accounts and/or I was a gamer in the 70s and 80s, and you are wrong or biased or just hate Gygax and/or all 3. ;)

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    If there was no roll and he just said "And you get shot in the face and die" yeah thats BS and the DM sucked. If he rolled to attack and hit your AC and you died, that's fair IMO. A few months ago I had a level 1 Thief try to sneak into a goblin filled area. 3 goblins happen to be hiding in...

    In all of my years playing/running RPGs I can’t think of a time a character died “unfairly”.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    While I like "Deadly" D&D, IE make good choices and dont just charge into every situation, First thing I did with SD was make it a tad less lethal. Though like most OSR once you get a character to about level 3 its less lethal anyways.

    Adventure Time TTRPG Drops "Yes And" System, Switches To 5E

    Almost a year later and the preview stuff looks pretty cool. BUT ANYWAYS, latest update seems to imply that Tariffs might be an issue. 🍊 :poop:
