    Steve Jackson Games Announces 2024 Release Schedule

    Also, GURPS (including Dungeon Fantasy) is a very small part of their revenue stream these days. We still see a new GURPS release most months. The January release was The Devil's Workshop, a short DFRPG adventure.

    D&D General Turgenev's Friday Freebie Maps

    I have really enjoyed this set, having often attempted to use old archaeological plans as game sites. Any chance you'll bundle the three maps together?

    Why PCs should be competent, or "I got a lot of past in my past"

    As has been mentioned a few times upthread, the issue around the odds of failure depends on the particular game's baseline assumptions about what calls for a skill check and how the rules define expertise. I know that GURPS hasn't gotten a lot of love in this thread, but it's the game I'm most...

    How do we reflect on our sessions after playing / running?

    I admit that even after regularly running games for four and a half decades, I still sometimes feel a bit fragile afterward. I'm not sure I could handle sharp criticism in the immediate aftermath of a session. This combined with the fact that it's usually late and people need to get to bed means...

    Why PCs should be competent, or "I got a lot of past in my past"

    I'm all for negative outcomes. More dramatic tension. More need for teamwork. Etc. Good stuff.

    Why PCs should be competent, or "I got a lot of past in my past"

    The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game (a GURPS variant focused on D&D-style tropes) starts characters at 250 points, which many people liken to level 5-7 in D&D terms. Some folks, including me, like this a lot. Others complain that it doesn't allow for the "zero-to-hero" story. Thus, Gaming...

    So, what is your Favorite "Villain" race these days?

    My last BBEG was a gnome. I allow PCs of just about any race, so there aren't really any "monsters only" races, though many any species may face social stigma in different communities based on stereotypes or cultural/historical factors. I do occasionally depend on demons and and some fae as...

    D&D 5E (2014) A playthrough of The Shattered Obelisk (spoilers)

    The bit with the pantry leading to the bedroom shocked me as well. Such an obvious gaffe. How does that get through playtesting?

    Steve Jackson Games Announces 2024 Release Schedule

    Fantastic! Doug is indeed awesome. I've had the privilege of meeting him multiple times since he has been super supportive of the GURPS summer camp that I run here in the Twin Cities. He even did a demo on Viking martial arts for the kids one year. Gaming Ballistic has published a ton of great...

    Steve Jackson Games Announces 2024 Release Schedule

    I presume you know about the massive bestiary (with supplements) published by Gaming Ballistic? I consider it to be the long awaited "Monster Manual" for GURPS DF. This has been, by far, the most popular book at the GURPS DF summer camp that I run for middle- and high-schoolers. Nordlondr...
