    The Sort of TTRPGs You Want More (and Less) Of

    For what I'm personally looking for: I want a, basically, modular cyberpunk RPG. If I want fantasy elements like Shadowrun, I can use the magic rules (or take them out if my setting doesn't do that), some rules for powered armor or moderately large monsters if I'm doing something like Appleseed...

    Which edition of Star Wars RPG are you currently interested in?

    Yeah - when Saga Edition came out I pretty much dumped all my SWD20 books and have never looked back. I do want to hunt down some of the SWD6 Second Edition books, since that was my first Star Wars RPG - though I never actually owned a copy of the rules, just a copy I repeatedly checked out...

    Game Design Masterclass: James Bond 007

    I have the corebook, Q Branch, and Thrilling Locations sourcebooks - never got around to picking up the other adventures...

    POLL: Greatest "Golden Era" Module for D&D.

    G1: Steading of the Hill Giant Chief - I did a blog post on this, and this is basically the tabletop RPG equivalent of a sandbox from the most recent Hitman game - you're dropped into this environment with an objective and all the tools in the adventure to accomplish that goal in a variety of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the wizard class

    It apparently did not take. I attempted to vote again, and it took this time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the wizard class

    I'm going with Schmendrick, Slayn, and the Queen Goddess of the Tsunderes, Rin Tohsaka.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the sorcerer class

    Ehh - that also works for regular wizards as well - "I only have one 5th level spell slot, so I'm going memorize a spell that can cause the biggest explosions" (alternatively, "I'm going to memorize Fireball in the highest spell slot that I can.")

    Fantasy Flight Games Discontinuing RPGs?

    I remember Marvel killing the Marvel Diceless RPG because it wasn't selling as well as D&D 3rd Edition (which was pretty new at the time) - though that may have been smoke and mirrors to cover the project being killed because it was launched under Bill Jemas' regime.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the sorcerer class

    100% for Lina Inverse, particularly with how she describes her magic as being basically a form of pact magic. This probably applies to Natsu as well, though he's probably a cross-class Sorcerer Monk, since as a shonen protagonist he does a lot of hand-to-hand combat. EDIT: Also, taking a cue...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the D&D Rogue

    I'm going to add Satou Kazuma from the anime KonoSuba here as well, as a thief recommendation. EDIT: Though I voted for Woodchuck, Bilbo, and Mouse

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the Paladin Class

    I just realized a really good anime pick for Paladin - Tilarna from last year's Cop Craft.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the Paladin Class

    So - it hasn't been animated yet, it's just a manga but... Senshi from Delicious in Dungeon is totally a Ranger.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depiction of the Paladin Class

    I thought about suggesting this in the earlier thread - but I wasn't sure how well Anime suggestions would have gone over but... Arturia Pendragon/Saber from Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero and Astolfo/Rider of Black from Fate/Apocrypha. (Bonus with that last one because they're Paladins in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depictions of the Monk class

    Wouldn't having Way of the Kensei be Kai from 47 Ronin better keep with the pattern? 😃

    D&D 5E (2014) Best on screen depictions of the Monk class

    Would Once A Upon A Time In China Wong Fei Hung be an identical pick to Drunken Master Wong Fei Hung, or would those be two different picks?

    D&D General Best on screen adaptations of Wuxia D&D multiclassed Bard/Monks and Western Prohibition-Era Gangster Plot Themes

    Yep, the musicians were great, and just all the little shout-outs to other martial arts films (the harpists to Deadful Melody; Cooley, Donut, and Tailor were all from '70s and '60s martial arts films like 8 Diagram Pole Fighter (literally for Donut - the actor who played him was also the lead in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you use a clock?

    I haven't used a clock, but where necessary I will use a timeline.

    The Case of the Unlucky Crit

    I generally rule that player intent matters - that if players are dealing non-lethal damage, they are deliberately attempting to pull their punches to knock opponents out. And if they roll a crit and deal enough damage to KO, then the crit signifies that they knew to deal exactly enough damage...
