    Dragonbane Miniatures Coming to Kickstarter

    Why is nobody talking about the duck? It seems like more of us should be talking about the duck.

    Dragonbane Miniatures Coming to Kickstarter

    I really like the baby dragon hatching. I've been putting Kickstarters are hold because of the whole tariff situation, but I'll check this one out at least.

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    That's just any game I'm participating in. The last pirate game I ran was Pirates of the Spanish Main for Savage Worlds. It was based off of a constructable strategy game published by WizKids from 2004-2008. I can best describe it as a collectible miniatures card game. The cards were thick...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    It was a psychological hurdle for me to even start throwing books away.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Another Archon Studio miniature. I’ll use it as a lich in my D&D campaign.

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    If I'm bored it's kind of my fault, right?

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    What's the point of changing the lore? I'm rarely beholden 100% to lore, and I recognize there might be good reasons to change it, but in this particular case what would we be trying to accomplish?

    How many "steps" is too many?

    No matter how many steps are in the game, everything slows down when players aren't familiar with how the rules for their own character works. I've been running a D&D campaign for months, and some of the players still have to double check what the final results of a roll to hit is. For me, I...

    Phase 5 of the MCU is over

    I've only seen six of those and Guardians of the Galaxy is the only one I haven't seen that I still want to watch. Quantumania: Didn't care for. Secret Invasion: Flat out disliked. Deadpool and Wolverine: Meh. I was tired of the multiverse before I even saw it. Agatha All Along...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I continue to be flabbergasted this thread continues to be active. I'm not complaining, I'm just, you know, flabbergasted.

    D&D General Optimistic Thoughts on Optimizing

    I once participated as a player in a pulp campaign. The character I made was essentially a 1930s version of Sherlock Holmes who was a pacifist in the sense that he'd never kill anyone. I don't remember all the other player characters, but one of them was an unfrozen cavewoman with a pet...

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    It's so grimdark that it wraps around to absurdity. To enjoy the game you've got to embrace the absurdity.

    Public Service Announcement: Epi Pens

    I fear as my group continues to age we'll have a stroke, heart attack, or some other medical malady at the table one of these days.

    I win again, Lews Therin.

    Warhammer: The Old World RPG Offers A New Take On The Empire

    I picked up the Cubical 7 version of Warhammer Fantasy on a Humble Bundle and I'm reading through it. I'll see if my players might be interested. Might as well try to run them through one of the best campaigns, The Enemy Within.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    I suspect you're correct. However I often question how representative the loudest voices on social media actually are. Even then, it's not a headache I imagine WotC wants to deal with. In truth, as far as I'm concerned, Dark Sun had its time in the sun. WotC is better off working on other...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    We can find genocide in Curse of Strahd and I don't recall many people complaining about it. We also have some hags in the human trafficking game cannibalizing children to produce a drug that induces euphoric dreams. What D&D players will or won't accept is hard to pin down.

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    I have several issues of Valiant's revival of Magnus: Robot Fighter. But I remember Shooter from Marvel more than I do anywhere else.

    RPG Evolution: What Do You Mean, "Run"?

    I'd certainly agree the direct, honest communication at the beginning of the campaign is the way to go. When I ran Delta Green years ago, I told my players the following: "If you're ever in a situation where a bunch of government goons wearing masks, armor, and armed with MP-5s are coming for...
