    Tact-Tiles are back! Video Review

    The best way I've found to keep them clean, and I've had the originals for 10 years now, and use them pretty much once a week, is with a dry 'magic sponge'. After a session, clean them in soapy water with dish washing liquid to get the marker grease residue off, and they will last a very long time.

    Alternate System to the Jenga Tower

    Its the character creation system from Dread with my own resolution system. It is a different game... Dread Fate. People are weird.

    Alternate System to the Jenga Tower

    Thank you. I agree that perhaps I do have a completely different system here, but I am totally stealing the character creation system from Dread. Not exactly sure how that would work, but since this is just a personal project, it doesn't really matter all that much. My core desire here was to...

    Alternate System to the Jenga Tower

    I completely understand, but for me, the tower breaks verisimilitude in several ways. First, pulls can take an awfully long time to resolve, especially if several pulls are required by the host. To me, that really gets in the way of the narrative. Second, rebuilding the tower can take a long...

    Alternate System to the Jenga Tower

    Dire Fate Rules This alternative to the standard Dread RPG rules introduces a completely different set of task resolution systems and uses those in place of the 'pull' and use of the Jenga tower. This system not only adds more dynamic options to the game, and eliminates the need for 'manual...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else feel individual initiative is more trouble than it's worth?

    Use a digital tool Honestly, this is one aspect of the game that can totally be handled by a digital tool. There are several good ones out there, either for your phone, ipad, android device, or you computer. They handle ACs, hit points, initiative modifiers. I roll individual initiative for...

    D&D 5E (2014) I for one hope we don't get "clarification" on many things.

    Exactly right. The players have to help themselves to be successful, by relating to the Dm what they are doing.

    Does he need to make a perception check? 1... if actively looking... yes. 2... if not actively looking, he'll use passive perception. That's clearly defined in the rules. Does the fog affect the chances of the NPC discovering the rogue? That depends... is sight the NPC's primary means of...
