Dragonlance. Mainly because it was my favorite setting (I just loved Dragonlance Adventures) but with the flips and turns that Weis and Hickman took (the Gods returned, no they've gone, oh noes Takhasis is ded etc) with the novels / setting my love for the setting turned to ashes.

The cards were a stupid idea - a playing aid that was collectible in nature.

As a staunch traditionalist myself, using "they" dates back to the 15th century whereas the use of "he" appears to date from the 18th century. I think using "he" must have been political correctness gone mad and despise it too.

Has anyone ever had "pay for exposure" go on to paid work? I find it hard to believe it would unless the work was for a major company/product line. Which a prospective employer has to buy. And read through. And decide to track down an artist of an illustration they liked rather than use from the...

GM Intrusions are just putting some mechanics behind something that already happens. How many times have you had characters, for example, climbing a cliff and the GM says "roll some dice to see if you avoid the crumbling outcrop". As said above, a good place to use them is when no dice roll...

The thing is that the rules cannot deal with such Players. Neither can real life. If a Player says "I want to kill you" to a king when they really mean "forsooth, for thou art a king most wise" then until we develop telepathic powers to be able to distinguish the true meaning of a Player's...

I think its actually the dice determines the effectiveness of what you say. A social encounter is still determined by what a character says. If a character (Player) is talking to the King and says "I want to kill you" instead of "Your majesty's wisdom has no match in the kingdom", rolling the...

Other! It can be a mix of a number of things. Great value. Getting it early. Getting a deluxe/unique edition. For example I backed Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition. Its costing me $145 (physical copy plus international shipping) so its not "great value" (POD costs $65 or $90...

Numenera Victoriana 3rd Edition Shadowrun 5th Edition

If the "robust skill system" was as complete and detailed as a combat system then I think it could go far to support role-playing. I mean, what would you think of a role-playing game where combat was reduced to "a simple dice roll" in the same way role-playing games (games that we would now...

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Shadowrun and World of Darkness games (specifically Mage: The Ascension but I could also do me some Dark Ages: X where X = Vampire, Mage, Fae, Inquisitor). Shadowrun 2E for a good number of years was my goto game, and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was what I'd play if I...

I think that both 13th Age and Numenera both still have the Shiny Glow Of Newness about them, so people are wont to talk about them a lot. Shadows of Esteren has had one year to wear it off, so now has the Dull Glint of Last Year. It also helps that both 13th Age and Numenera have close links...

I don't know how relevant this is to anyone, but the copy I ordered from Amazon arrived a couple of days ago.

Kinda like a warrior stops killing other party members if and when the DM offers opportunities to use those skills constructively. ;)
