    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Me and my wife just got our fourth shot, in preparation for rising case numbers here in Sweden and what may pop out from the current China situation.

    Your "In a Perfect World, I'd be playing X" Roleplaying Campaign

    I may be boring, but as a forever GM with a fun table of perma-players I don't have any visions of unattainable dream campaigns. Since I GM and we mostly home-brew, I make campaigns that I want to run, often with some success. With that said, and despite not having a rpg-djinn, I have very high...

    What are you reading in 2023?

    I’m splitting my time between a phat stack of Thomas Manns work and an even phatter stack of Golarion material, to keep my current Savage Pathfinder campaign loaded.

    Paizo Paizo PDF rulebook price increases?

    All good advice. But I specifically wanted to get the AP for evaluation, to see if it was worth trying to convert it to Savage Pathfinder, not to play with the original system. For lets say around 10 bucks a book I would have bought the AP and support books, and it could have been worth it even...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fantasy Appalachia

    I'm not from Murr-kah, but Savage Worlds Holler setting cover this, right? Or is it inspired by some other very not urbanized area of the country?

    Paizo Paizo PDF rulebook price increases?

    I have no problem paying 20-40 bucks for a good "full-length" book such as core, bestiaries etc in PDF format. Paying 120-150 for a 10 year old AP and support book/s - yeah, I have problems with that. If I actually play it I will definitely have a low cost per hour of fun, but it will still be...

    D&D 5E (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

    Shure. Despite your snarky and sarcastic tone I will enlighten you. Regarding pottery it has an interesting history, from purely functional containers, via vessels with religious and sociocultural connotations, to todays hypercommercialized products. But besides being a product, pottery has...

    D&D 5E (2024) How much would you spend on monthly subscriptions for dnd?

    I have no problem with subscriptions, but I hate micro transactions. I did happily sub to Beyond, just like I now sub to The Forge to house Foundry. Since me and my table have quit 5e and won't play D&D in the foreseeable future, I'm not gonna spend a cent on it. There are lots of other games...

    Every which way they can.

    D&D 5E (2014) Your favorite monsters to fight (or run)?

    I've given up on 5e, but my all-time favorite D&D monster is Illithids. High intellect, out of this world, brain sucking tentacled aliens, what's not to like!

    Paizo Paizo PDF rulebook price increases?

    Since I've become an unashamed fanboy of Savage Worlds Pathfinder, I was thinking about picking up the Iron Gods AP for conversion. But Holy Macaroni those old Paizo PDFs are expensive! I can get a current popular system core book from DriveThru for the same price as one part of the old Paizo...

    D&D 5E (2014) Share your Dnd "Moments that Matter"

    As a GM I keep fond memories from most campaigns, often about how players change the course of the campaign or show amazing creativity that I can develop to whole new plot archs. In my latest campaign, finished a month ago after two years, I had planted a few plot hooks around the little...

    Blade Runner rpg - having trouble getting sucked in

    Well, the party is in dept with bounty hunters on their heels, and they really need that 200 g to make a downpayment to the crime boss to get a couple of weeks respite. Goblins are goblins as people say. Except Bob the Gob in our party, he's a tough mofo who does what needs to be done. And so...

    D&D General I DM because...

    When I started gaming in the early 80ies I found GM:ing way more fun that being a player. It still is.

    Blade Runner rpg - having trouble getting sucked in

    Well, imho the tone of Bladerunner is at its core about moral and existential dilemmas, embedded in a cool milieu, some action and tears in rain. For me personally it's an example of a setting and tropes that are amazing to watch on screen or read, but that - at least for my table - doesn't...

    D&D General DM Says No Powergaming?

    Thankfully my players are very good at making technically bad characters, and always go for interesting concepts rather that the most efficient system breaker. They are also pretty good min-maxers in many systems, and that they don't tend to use that is the reason I love them at my table. I...

    D&D 5E (2024) What could OneD&D to bring YOU back to D&D? (+)

    This, and I'm fine with it too. I'm old and have fond memories of older editions, and while I've had fun with 5e too the developments during the last few years is clearly targeting other demographics and consumer groups. OneD&D seem to go even further in that direction, and that's ok - like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Zombies: Sink or Swim?

    This is the correct answer. If one need an explanation, there are way too few coastal or ocean themed necromancers in the game. Why have a black tower when you can have a black galley. Aaarrr matey!
