I've always argued D&D as designed features player characters with a very modern mindset. Freedom of religion, association, due process, equality under the law, etc., etc. are things we associate with good kingdoms or oligarchies. D&D really doesn't require or encourage us to adopt a different...

It’s been a while since I’ve done any batch painting. This is half a box of skeletons from Games Workshop. Batch painting is kind of a two edged sword. On one hand it can get rather tedious painting so many miniatures to look like they belong to a cohesive unit. But on the other hand it can...

I have it on good authority they were just good friends. And very thrifty. Think of all the gold they saved on heating fuel by sleeping in the same bed. Yup. Good, thrifty roommates.

I'm too depressed to make a Reaper Bones joke. :-(

Delta Green has a percentage based skill system and they don't always require a roll to know what someone with that skill would know. Land Warfare (I think), is the skill you use to figure out the best way to use the terrain, set up a kill zone, plan an attack or defense of a structure, and the...

This is pretty much where I am on this. If I'm running a Call of Cthulhu game set in the 1920s, my players probably have limited knowledge of the era. Hell, so do I. But I will tell them things I think their character would know. For example, one of my players wanted his character make a...

You're right. I suspect it's going to take a long, long time before we get close to what we used to think of as normal.

Let's pretend for a minute I figure out a way to open a new miniatures production facility here in the United States by 2029 (just humor me). The future is so uncertain I don't know if I'd build it. Do things go back to normal in 2026 or 2027? Will there be supply chain issues resulting in a...

At least most of Martin's names sounded real. I will say I do thing Tolkien was pretty good at giving his characters names. They feel just as a real as Martin's names to me. When I saw this thread it was the first thing I thought of. A bunch of the cheesy fantasy books I read in the 90s were...

$#%#A% the English language. Even as I typed it in I thought burrow looked wrong. We're not talking about bunnies.

I'm with you on that one. I have a lot of good memories of playing AD&D 2nd edition, GURPS, and a few others but I don't ever want to go back to using those rules again. It's not the games themselves I'm nostalgic for rather it's my friends, being at a different place in my life, etc., etc...

As crummy as this is for a lot of us as consumers, my heart absolutely goes out to the many people whose livelihood is negatively affected by these tariffs. Publishers, producers, artists, retail stores, and even those who would ship the items are all hurt by this.

Oh, boy! The original Dark Conspiracy was set in the near future after the global collapse of the economy leaving many nations destitute. The best part about this is nobody needs to update the setting since we're living the future now!

I was an adult before I realized Blondie was the band and not Debra Harry. I really enjoy their music and I'm sorry Clem's gone.

My entire life this is how I've heard New Yorkers refer to the various burrows and sometimes even neighborhoods. Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island all have their own distinct identities and sometimes you can refine that even further by neighborhood. Harlem and Hell's...

I didn't see this coming. I haven't played DC is about thirty years, and I didn't know anyone had a lot of fond memories of the game. I see it mentioned on rare occasion, but didn't think there was a whole lot of love for it. I'm interested in seeing what Mongoose does with it and look...
