There's been a lot of fantasy lit between Conan and now that's had, in my view, a big influence on RPGs: Harry Potter brought the idea of wizards to a new public understanding. Hunger Games made archery cool. Percy Jackson taught a whole generation about Greek mythology. Romantasy is a...

Do you have evidence to back this up? I'm not doubting you on it, but it's a pretty strong opinion posted without any data.

I bet it all gets resolved with a couple of beers and a good sing-along around a beach fire.

Hm... Sisko's shaved head, Riker's beard... Is Captain Pike's amazing hair how Strange New Worlds avoided the rough first seasons of TNG and DS9???

That pink dragon cover is awesome. I 100% support more covers in this style. I love how eye-popping and grungy it feels.

Jeez Morrus, nobody deserves to be treated like that, and especially not for hosting a community! Thanks for all you do, and thank you to the mod team as well. One of the reasons I like to spend time here is exactly because this is a pretty calm, more or less friendly community. I think it is...

I always thought it would be interesting to "gate" a campaign world off by character wealth. The characters start in the outer reaches of the kingdom. To access locations with better opportunities and items, they have to have gathered a certain amount of gold. Then the next location with even...

One thing I do wish had been different is making life beyond the wormhole a little different than in the Alpha Quadrant. As it was, the planets and people were basically the same as could be encountered by The Enterprise or the crew of ang other show. I'm not really sure what that would look...

The good news is they can replace it with a much more profitable high rise!

Charge them for adventuring hooks! "There's a free adventure, but it's just someone who needs their basement cleared of rats. On the other hand, for 200 gp you can unlock a quest called called Slay the Dragon..." ... In reality, I think some interesting ways to get characters to spend money...

I just finished a full watch of all seasons of DS9 (usually while cooking or washing dishes) and it's an incredibly special show to me. There are a few things that really make the show stand out to me: 1) Character Relationships This is an obvious one, but the way this show focuses on the...

$20 says the new James Bond will be bald.

Well at least Bond will be able to get shipped anywhere on the planet within two days.

Cottagecore has been a thing since the 2010's. I think it speaks to a romantic view of the self-sustained cottage lifestyle, tending your garden, making your own jam, etc. It also intersects with a lot of fantasy and children's literature like A Wind in the Willows, the Secret Garden... You...

We've been reading my son a book called Little Witch Hazel that feels like it fits this genre. The main character is a tiny little witch who goes about helping the animals, gnomes, and other creatures of the woods. The conflicts include raising a baby owl, finding the source of a mysterious...

Just an update: it's starting today! I'm about to make the drive up to the cabin. I've got Honey Heist, Ironsworn, we all know 5e by heart, and I also wound up making my own 5e-lite game. It's going to be a blast.

Two ideas: 1) The moon is hot! It is a ball of heated material that radiates light. 2) The moon is a big phosphorescent mushroom in space. It glows and spreads spores.

Out of all the VTTs I've definitely had the worst experience with Existenz. I signed up for the beta, and they promised it would be a really immersive VR RPG experience. But it's so immersive that I keep thinking I'm quitting the game and then it turns out I'm just in another level of it. It's...
