Another explanation for the TP shortage is that the manufacturers run at 24/7 capacity for normal buying. There is no additional capacity to add so the panic buying demand cannot be matched and given that this isn't likely to last for very long, there is no easy way to increase production...

It isn't just soda, but gallon milk containers and juice bottles as well have the plastic rings.

I regularly have large groups because people at work are interested in playing so we have people pop in and out. It's lots of fun when everyone can make the session. I like large groups and I build my encounters to reflect how the large group impacts play. Ensuring that everyone gets screen...

It's possible that previous editions of D&D and other RPGs have linked fun to power and defeating enemies. It happened in any edition with over powered GM favorite characters (either run by them or their best friends), It happens when players min-max in any system (HERO system point...

Ensure there is some discussion of this as part of session 0. Rules arguments: GM has final say for the session. Discuss it with them after the session is over if there is some real problem Political arguments: GM needs to put their foot down and not allow RL to intrude into the game...

Steve Jackson Games is offering Melee for free Steve Jackson Games Daily Illuminator

I think the initiative variant that I would like to use is the one where after each character or opponent action, they can pass the initiative off to someone on their side or to the opposing side. Thus if players win initiative they can all take their actions before the enemy but then the enemy...

If you have the option to do something the players suggest and is interesting versus doing what you thought would happen always go with what the players suggest. 1. It makes them more interested in the world you are building. 2. Players will always thing things are worse than they are so it...

Play GURPS with 1 second turns or HERO where turns are broken up into segments if you want. D&D will always be a compromise. There are so many systems out there that complaining that x system does do what I want and has to change is really tiring. Go find a system you like then.

What I think makes a good GM is Someone who knows how to keep both the story and the game moving. Where players want to know what happens next. Someone who allows players their space to help make the game interesting which requires trust between the GM and the players Someone who is willing to...

Is anyone else disappointed that this didn't spell something? AGILE PINE or GENIE PAIL neither seems to work well.

There's always Darth and Droids where that's how you get Anakin. A Darth and Droids RPG would be fun.

I think it is very narrow focused to say PCs first goal is to survive. There are many cases where it makes good character narrative sense to have the character die to further a cause. Heck that's even a real life win condition for some people. The player's goal is to have fun and maybe tell a...

I'm pretty sure there was an April issue from the Dragon with an Accountant class. Yep Issue #48 along with Bugs and Daffy write ups.

That's looks pretty good. Seems to have similar features as to Lion's Den Gamemaster. Is it easy to add your own custom creatures? the work to get things into the XML for Lion's Den is the only thing that takes a lot of time.

I don't subscribe to D&D Beyond but can anyone who has seen it working do a comparison with the Lion's Den Gamemaster app? I found that app to be great and the ability for me to add my own stuff to be helpful.

I love early testing. Fail fast and often because it's cheaper to do it early than it is to get deep in development and then fail.

Some how I think this XKCD is appropriate

I need an RPG that stops time so we can play more RPGs. In general, I find that it's easier to build the theme I want in something like FATE or GURPS. For a new game, I want some new mechanic that would justify a new system. Something like the card draw make a poker hand of Deadlands but where...

I started in 1979 in middle school. The GATE program in Irvine CA had a teach who introduced us. I was already a heavy player of warfare board games such as AH Battle of the Bulge and AH Midway. My family also played a lot of other board games. I was lucky that I had a number of friends who...
