Beat me to it.😁 I took the Wargames approach to most social media: I never started playing that game.

“Industries” Speaking of names, I’ve seen a lot of eye-popping names in local politics. The city I lived in a couple decades ago had a Mayor Bobby Raper. Driving around this month, I’m seeing signs for Priscilla Vigilante.

Sophie Nyweide has died. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/former-child-actress-sophie-nyweide-170825199.html

It varies from campaign to campaign, but my default is probably a quasi-realistic setting with fantastic elements. But some campaigns I’ve been a part of- from either side of the screen- have been quite surreal.

(The bard in question is playing a lute and only wearing a sock…)

Because he probably is. You just didn’t know he’s actually from another, much higher dimension, and has been popping into our reality for centuries now, often simultaneously in multiple locations. When you see one of those guys talking to seemingly empty air, he’s actually talking to another...

I find in ANY genre, at least some overlap can be useful. If the best guy at _______ fails, you still have a reasonable chance at still succeeding at the same task. Hell, I’ve intentionally designed several jacks of all trades, master of none who were essentially the embodiment of the party in...

That was the OP’s inspiration.🤷🏾‍♂️ Personally, I’m a cradle Catholic and it doesn’t bug me any more than things like the Testament RPG.

Tariffs are supposed to be collected at the product’s point of entry, at least in part because they can be so variable. If it’s not paid then, the product is supposed to sit on the dock or be returned to the transport vehicle until it is. However, I’ve seen at least one article in which the...

I probably had more problems with creating PCs when I started out in the hobby, but those difficulties are lost to my memory. These days, most of my problems come down to “how do I create this character in this system” or settling on fine details when presented several options. IOW, narrowing...

My process is essentially the same, regardless of whether the RPG uses classes or is classless. I contemplate what the GM has told me about the campaign. Then I try to figure out what kinds of adventures might be had in such a world, and what kind of protagonists might be fun to play in such a...

I was thinking Clue.

Pope Francis has died. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/crknlnzlrzdt

Just thinking about that… Several of those franchises could handle an anime-style movie or TV series release. Star Trek has had at least 2 cartoons made already. Given the space dogfights and the Jedi powers, Star Wars would seemingly be an ideal IP to get the anime treatment. As a show that...

“He cast what? FLEA! FLEA!”

I have my own copies of Starfire, and damn near everything for SFB. Oddly, I got into it living in Manhattan, KS- home to K State and a 30 minute drive from Fort Riley (home of The Big Red 1). There was a large thriving SFB community there. Then I moved to Irving, Tx, and somehow found a...

Revolt on Antares was probably one of the most played non-Metagames mini games played from my collection.

I might have a few RAFM minis, but not many. I wonder how this will affect Reaper, whom they distribute.

I had Fury, but not Alamo. 👍🏽 I have to say, generally speaking, that I respect the skills required to design a game…and how to apply them properly. I tried solo designing a wargame one time, but abandoned it after one playtest period. For whatever reason, it kept resolving into stalemates...
