    So You've Decided to Run a "Western" Game. What Kind?

    I voted Electric, Horror and Science. I would mix them together. Seems like a good trio. Cowboys on electric horses fighting scientific horror abominations.

    Kickstarter musings

    Backed only 5 KS. 4 of 5 small indy companies I wanted to succeed. Only one delivered very late and the book was more like a beta than an actual game. I no longer back KS because of the high prices of shipping to Canada. That said I backed The One Ring 2e with my wife. It's a game we really...

    D&D General Stranger Things Image of a D&D Game

    LOL! We used erasers to represent horses or wagons. Just put the mini on top. Voilà!

    D&D General Stranger Things Image of a D&D Game

    I remember using miniatures since 1981. I had a box of Grenadier Goblins used for any humanoids the party met. We moved them directly on the table using inches as with wargames. There was no grid. Bought my first Chessex mat in 1991.

    Chessex was founded in 1987; 34 years ago according to wiki. Not sure when mats came out.

    D&D 5E (2014) I thought WotC was removing biological morals?

    A quick search on EnWorld, by title, shows that there are 25 pages with 20 different new threads each on alignments = 500 threads on alignments. Anyone wanting to start a new alignment thread should read those before they do. :p

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons WotC survey August 9th, 2021

    Many MTG and D&D questions. Asked my age and sex last (question #50). I said I disliked MTG. They asked why.

    Making it All Up (With Help)

    I'm a fan of random gimmicks since I like to do solitary play.

    How does the TTRPG industry works?

    In Canada one of the major gaming distributers is Lion Rampant. In Montreal there is Universal Distribution.

    How does the TTRPG industry works?

    Montreal is a hub for a lot of US printing. Don't know if it has changed but a lot of comics titles used to be printed in this city (and paper porn).

    Opinions on Symbaroum?

    The Mare Cats was as expected. Managed to poison one PCs. The witch was a 7 temporary corruption on a maximum of 8 at the end of the encounter. He rolled a critical success 1 on a spell so I gave only 1 corruption instead of the usual 1d4. The Aboar encounter was weird. The PCs hit it but with...

    How does the TTRPG industry works?

    I used to work for travel industry and designed travel brochures of 148 pages with soft cover. Starting the presses has a minimum fee. Thus the more you print the less it costs per copy. Below 5000 you won't get much savings with big printers. In Montreal you can call Transcontinental for an...

    Opinions on Symbaroum?

    My first session last night went very well last night. The PCs left Thistle Hold with a Davokar forest exploration permit to find another missing expedition that should have come back one week ago. One member of the lost expedition is related to one of the PCs. We had one minor quibble about a...

    Webbed Sphere, Inc. acquires long time game publisher Flying Buffalo, Inc.

    The owner of the local store is telling me 40K sales are going really well. They didn't go down during Covid. Players are excited with the new 9th edition that came out in 2020. It more like a 8.5 edition with a lot if stuff backward compatible. Players are happy to finally get to play face to...

    So what are you reading this year 2021?

    Finished David Edding's Pawn of Prophecy (Belgariad book 1). More and better world building than Brooks. There are a few echoes of LOTR, which is fine since they are not obvious theft. Nothing irked me. I can see why young readers like this series. It's clever to use a clueless 14 year old hero...
