    Know any good "random complication" tables for SF games?

    Surprised there are not a few, you would think Star Trek and Star Wars would have some. I swear I have seen card decks for random plots and ships at Gen Con! You may just want to search DriveThurRPG just to see what is out.

    What is it that makes goblinoids different from non-goblinoids?

    As said above it will be culture or their origin. I like my goblins to be evil, so I make them as creation of Hags. They are 'cooked' up in a pot and encoded to protect the Hag as their mother. They are cannibalistic, enjoy torturing things, and have a bloodlust about them. In most cases...

    What is it that makes goblinoids different from non-goblinoids?

    This is a Rabbit vs Hare. Yes, they are two different animals. In some of my games, I place goblins as the young of the goblinoids, they are born able to take care of themselves, as they develop, they become hobs and later they become bugbears. Orcs are (in my games) are corruption of...

    Starter Boxes vs Core Book

    Starter Boxes are the sampler plater, they get you playing and interested in purchasing the full meal the next time you play. It is the touch and feel. After reading post of gamers moan about the cost of games over the years, I see the marketing involved in it. You have a group that feel...

    Do you have a favorite underground monstrous race? not dnd

    Morlock as mentioned above, when you look at the race they are creepy and can be easily altered for a fantasy setting. Troglodytes are also a favorite of mine, underground lizard people. Spider-kin - Driders but without the Drow connections. Rat-Men - My favorite of this race is the Skaven...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie: Game of Thrones, Princess Bride, Holy Grail, The Goonies

    D&D is built for a streaming service, not a movie. Not expecting much out of this but hoping I am wrong.

    Another Year of EN World Demographics!

    I hate seeing my age group getting smaller as I get older. Old farts role-play too, they are just grumpy about it. S

    Payn's Ponderings' To script, or not to script?

    I somewhat agree that some of this should be discussed with the players, I think it is important to have them tell me how they got together. I want to know a backstory of how Ranger Bob came to be travelling with Bard Brad and Cleric Caty. That way I can use it in the game or not. It is about...

    Payn's Ponderings' To script, or not to script?

    I run it like a project. I start by creating a timeline, then create task players need to address, then milestones that impact the plot. Then assign resources (NPC/rewards) to task. It is more a guideline for me for bookkeeping and provides a little backstory. I keep in mind the rule that...

    Out-of-character/metagame knowledge

    It is 'role' playing, experience is reward for it, players that go outside their characters should not be rewarded for it. GMs know what the players are doing and have just got lazy with. This is not wrong if the table is having fun but once it causes issues, the GM should stop rewarding bad...
