One of the reasons I like SW is just how chaotic it can be. That said, it should be chaotically "fast, furious, and fun" and never slow, sleepy, and boring! Next time a situation like that happens, don't hesitate to "fix" things in the moment to get the game back on track. Make those Bennies...

Maybe give Kill Team a look, especially if your FLGS runs regular games. Wife and I have been playing Warcry (Fantasy version) and loving it. Especially since we don't need to paint too much and it's much easier on the wallet!

@Whizbang Dustyboots How on earth did you come upon this? Wife and I are pretty geeky when it comes to Tolkien, but honestly never knew this existed!

I've learned to enjoy it by pretending it's either Bilbo's first draft that's full of exaggerations or a version of the Hobbit that takes place in the Warhammer universe. :LOL:

Sounds like a blast! Okay, looks like I need to blow the dust off my Tomb Raider adventure I was running for wife and maybe accelerate the progression so we can see what higher play looks like. :cool:

These posts are really making me want to run SW again... No, must run Draonbane first...

Never heard of strain, will certainly look it up though. Seems to help one of the major issues of the system.

I've never been able to play SW long enough to get my players to the Veteran power levels, have you? Does the game more or less play the same?

I love Paizo's character art. Everyone depicted seems so full of personality and life.

Rude, haha... That's true. I wasn't going for a "one to one" comparison, but rather it makes sense to me that a bunch of guys making games for other guys would draw attractive women since that's what guys naturally like. A better example: I wouldn't pick up a romance novel and think everyone...

@Snarf Zagyg Thanks for taking the time to post your findings and thoughts on the matter. Personally, where I struggle is getting bent out of shape over a group of guys making games for other guys writing things that just might offend a non-male someone. A counter example (purely so I can...

Which games? And which ones have been your favorite?

My first thought is Savage Worlds + some supplements (Horror Companion, Ripper Resurrected, Monster Hunter International, etc.). I'm biased though since I'm not a huge fan of PbtA games. I just picked up City of Mist and began flipping though it. Seems like it could be good too if you don't...

First and foremost, it's the best way I've found to get my "always online" friends in the same room to talk face to face. Second, I love challenging my players and seeing the crazy ways they're able to overcome those challenges. Finally, I enjoy seeing the different RPG mechanics in action...

Your entire post is spot on, but this paragraph in particular really got me thinking about how much I appreciate when others share these experiences via podcasts, forum posts, and/or blogs. Especially when it comes to early Thieves. Hearing how each table handled them and made them viable is...

Just got mine and spent all day flipping through it. Sooooooooooo worth the money IMO (even though I'm pretty sure I've had this all material as a PDF dump years ago...) Also, got a kick out of the use of "Forward" and "Foreward" used throughout after the scolding we all got the other day. Even...

Just watched an interesting video from Rick Beato where he talks about "Fluid vs Crystalized" intelligence and how it relates to musicians. Might have something to do with why we gravitate towards systems we already know?

Too cool! Wife and I just finished the first game and had a blast. Went all in on Ancient Chronicles, but have yet to play it. Too many games...

What a timeline we're in... What sort of team would Musk assemble? My guess (sarcastically)... D&D 6E President: Elon Musk Lead Designer: Alexander Marcis Design Team: RPGPundit, Greg Gillespie, and James Edward Raggi IV. Sensitivity & Exclusivity Experts: Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay...

Awesome of you to post, thanks. Unfortunately for me, I just pulled the trigger on this last week. 😅
