    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    What is the level of evidence you require for this not to be rumor-mongering? There are verifiable accounts of many of the things Zak has been accused of in the past. There are credible allegations by many credible people that can be found with a 2-minute stretch on Google of things he's done...

    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    The only thing I've supported of his (that I know of) is Vornheim, and I added the pertinent pages that I used often in my urbancrawl games to my personal GM's Binder. I will definitely remove them, stop using anything related to them and develop my own tools or find other ones to use. I will...

    RPG Writer Zak S Accused Of Abusive Behaviour

    This. His online conduct suggests all of these allegations are totally in-character.

    RPG Kickstarter Zine Quest News – The Initial Seven Zines

    I can't 100% verify this but my understanding based on a few posts and conversations I've had in comments sections is he contacted Wizards and made a deal with them to move his stuff around (possibly ending future sales on DMsGuild after a certain time period, but I don't know that for sure)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Strongholds & Followers: A Review

    It does? Have you checked out DMsGuild? There's some drek, to be sure, but there's a lot of fantastic stuff on there. One of my favorites (Companion System) does a bit of what Strongholds & Followers seems to do but even more elegantly, IMHO.

    Paranoia: Red Clearance Edition Index and Alternate Card Rules

    Link to a Google Doc in which I'm hoping to create a complete index for the Paranoia: Red Clearance Edition rule books, complete card listings, and where I've also dumped some optional and variant rules for using the Action/Reaction and other cards for folks that don't like the cards, like them...

    Anybody using paper minis and the Litko counter stands?

    As the title says. These stands (and the other sizes, as they have 2", 3" and 4" for all of your differently sized monsters!). I'm thinking of getting rid of the minis collection (or most of it, at any rate) as I never had a large one and I have less and less room to store things, and less and...

    S'mon's New XP System

    Related: pulling from a bunch of brilliant sources, I came up with some thoughts for a system not unlike what the OP is going for. I tried to make sure to cover the aspects of the core D&D leveling system where there are plateaus and stuff, so hopefully it might help, but in fairness it is...

    I want faster character creation. Also, I’m a monster.

    And it's a bigger pain-point for new players, of which there seem to many thanks to streaming and all the new hype around the game. I did a very "minimalist" version of chargen (not quite as you said; they could still choose from the different subraces, for instance) and a Session Zero --...

    What Game Did You Leave D&D For?

    Back in the 90s, we wrapped an AD&D 2e Planescape campaign and played years and years of World of Darkness. We came back for 3E, but would often just play 5-10 sessions and then go "on break" for a different game for another 3-10 sessions at a time. We played stuff like Tribe 8, various Cortex...

    Time Tracker and exploration manager for 5E

    I've created a time tracker specifically for D&D 5th edition that's inspired by the amazing Richard J. LeBlanc, Jr./New Big Dragon Games’ Exploration Time Tracker for 0E/BX/1E. The main difference is that mine includes all the updated 5E light source durations and notes on pace and the like...

    Starter Traveller (Classic circa 1980's) is free at DTRPG

    Gotcha. I wasn't really campaigning for some mech stuff, just thought of it as an example that probably *wasn't* in earlier editions but showed up later, RE: compatibility. But good to know. I honestly have no experience with Traveller, so I wasn't sure how much or how little the actual system...

    Starter Traveller (Classic circa 1980's) is free at DTRPG

    How compatible are the different versions? My guess would be that new editions are generally a great way to drum up interest for a game in general, and in this day and age with access to digital copies of every edition of everything (just about), that helps even the older editions. If the...

    New Survey

    I nearly stopped taking it because of that. I HATE when they do that, and while I understand why tests like that exist in other mediums, it makes absolutely no sense here. If they get conflicting answers within one survey, then in turn they will get erratic data across many surveys and...how...
