Frustratingly, many game stores owners suffer from the same symptoms as many game publishers; many get get started more with a plan based on passion vs a business plan. So this could help quite a few stores.

That's a key to this game, even when PC have high skills, there is little HP bloat. So while enemies go down faster, they still pack a punch.

There are whole write ups about this and an errata on a thousand strong unofficial Discord.* https://discord.gg/dragonbane-drakar-och-demoner-community-1173874944430579733 I can't help as much as I converted Free League's other fantasy game campaign - Forbidden Lands: Raven's Purge to...

Evidently Swedish publishers would buy rights to old sci-fi/fantasy novel covers and use them for their books. https://www.amazon.com/God-Tarot-No-1/dp/0441294707 I preordered the Bestiary from a UK retailer to save on shipping as I didn't think I needed the PDF. The wait is agony though! :LOL...

So an perceived issue is that for the boxed rule book alone, there's a low number of monsters -- until you read the Adventure book and find out your monster count has doubled (more than doubled if you count various NPCs as encounters.) Add to that the dice, standees, and solo rules (which...

The standard edition arrived last week. It is nice and sturdy. For Dragonbane GMs, this one is a must have. I got the pre-order as you got the PDF immediately. I am waiting for the standees to go public and order them from our FLGS to support them. They've been letting me host a DB game there...

It didn't happen to me, but a local retailer would keep buying the kits and them complain they didn't work for them without even trying to stock some of the stuff from the kit, like core 5e or Pathfinder books. To clarify, I didn't imply mean they should stock everything but try something. For...

I'd like to add that if you do this tactic and it doesn't work, you can't blame Free RPG Day and say, "We didn't have any luck with it this year."

Just a bit of advice to retailers. Please stock the games related to the demos in the kit. Getting people in the door to play a demo and then hope to sell them on a completely different game because that is what you already have in stock is literally a bait and switch.

Fair enough. Evidently even got Straczynski play in a few games.

I am sure most posters here know Larry DiTillo for his BRP projects like Masks of Nyarlathotep, Terror Australis, and some Stormbringer supplements. But he also wrote for Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids and was the mastermind behind the original He-Man show, along with She-Ra. He also wrote for...

See. That story supports the vibe of "Select the species and classes that reflect the vibe of your game world," but without all the Twitter gnashing and chest thumping. Sounded like a great game. I'm not using 5e at the moment, but in my current game we now have a in-joke about squirrel...

Sad but true. It's the reason for the last 40 years that if you move to a new town, you have join a D&D group first, then find the players who would be open to playing in something NOT D&D.

Weird story. I was running an online one-shot for charity event. This person shows up with "robot" (reskinned human) and takes it upon themselves to make a dramatic entrance via a portal. Turns out this player (who never turned on their camera) only played in one-shots and each game was a...

Yeah, that was an odd twitter war last week about letting which species be in your game - especially bizarre as it was framed that a GM would be "weak" if they let a player squeeze in an additional "exotic" species. And of course additional framing disparaged anything beyond the classic four...

Sounds standard, which probably means the two companies will probably never work with each other again. I assume they'll have a sci-fi book that renames all the vehicle stats and classes. But they will have to be very careful with how they name things so Netlfix can't stick to them again.

Just a heads up, this book is in the CoC Humble Bundle that's going on right now. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/call-cthulhu-chaosium-inc-books

For clarification, the Old World is a few hundred years in the past and the wargame is not fully supporting several of the distinct races. For example, there are currently no plans to bring back the Skaven in this game. The in-universe reason is that the ratfolk are in the middle of a civil...

1983. Within a year, I would be at a Boy Scout camp and hear some guys talking about flaming swords and orc, but instead of talking about a novel, they were talking about a game! My live would be changed forever.
