The Bowler for me. Literally, the original one whose daughter has the heroic legacy (and his skull in her ball) in the Mystery Man movie. This is what Carmine did when when he wasn't crimefighting (and was still alive), running a public access show coaching bowling. Of course there's not...

Supposedly they'll send you one if you sign up to their newsletter, but it's also out in the wild (and is a public playtest anyway) so I feel okay just sharing it directly. If it turns out I'm wrong the mods can just remove the post...

Reminds me of Atlas Games' Pandemonium (or its inferior imitator Tabloid, one of the TSR Amazing Engine settings) than anything. Tabloids like the National Enquirer were a much bigger part of the 80s I lived through than public access TV, and both games seem to focus on the same "campy...

Now that the alpha is out I'm wondering if anyone's tried using it, either as an actual RPG (it does have that short sample adventure) or just testing out the mechanics. If so, what did you think of it, particularly the all-new combat system? I just did a solo run of the climactic fight in...

Chilling words. We all know how she treats her butler. Butlers. Who can even guess how many she's trapped and abandoned to slowly die from lack of food and water? I had a dream last week about the first Indie film getting mashed up with Valley of Gwangi. Only an allosaur, but my boiling...

I don't think my local tri-city area has had four dedicated toy stores since the 1980s. Certainly not independent, locally-owned ones. Big box generalists have largely taken over that market, as well as Barnes & Noble adding so many toys since Kids 'R Us closed that they're barely worth...

Talislanta is certainly a good fit for your requirements. Being almost 100% free doesn't hurt any either. :)

Of course not, that would be ridiculous. You carry its corpse in on your shoulder after the poor thing kills itself while running into your rippling muscles at 60mph. That's what happens when internal combustion meets a warrior worthy of Valhalla. Real Vikings don't drive. No, not even...

Uz are nowhere near that terrifying.

Thank you for dredging up a post from almost a year ago to inform us of that information. It has added tremendous value to this discussion.

Aw, American children have too many toys anyway. Came straight from the top, that did. :rolleyes:

I've played extensively when it was new, and it should certainly qualify for consideration if primarily nautical games appeal. Nice level of detail to the setting, neither too dense nor too shallow for my tastes. I'd add Sundered Skies to the list as well if it weren't for the Dwarf/elf...

Aether Nexus. A rich and detailed setting It's a shattered world/god that may be slowing dying alone in the cosmic emptiness - but its inhabitants are still still living life as best they can, still fighting back against the creatures that originally broke the world, and the grim/hopeful...

I thought I'd gone mad for a moment. Making me choose between having to relive half of 2020 or enduring whatever we have left of 2025 was...well, not that hard really. One man can't fix the world in five years, but I could make a fair start.

I am confused. This thread's OP appears to be from 2020. Is there no 2025 FRPG Day thread to use instead of appending new comments here?

Fair enough. I'd be willing to consider a Car Wars / Wind In The Willows mashup for Mister Toad's Wild Ride, though. Maybe add in the Boat Wars rules and turn it into kind of a Spy Hunter play loop? :) Wait, Car Wars Spy Hunter would actually work. You could even add aerial sections with...

Or their hit count. Only five posts last time around, and they did they did all that typing the first time. Much easier now since they can just copy-paste, and three times as many posts already. A Win if that was the objective.

Weird Al is never the wrong artist. He's just not always the one you were expecting.

I have a strict cash-or-pizza-only standard for GM bribery at my tables. Other offers are just too hard to deal with. What? Oh, you meant in-game? Ah...well, yeah, set minimum value at the materials alone if they're even recoverable, eg the marble in a statue is generally not, but bronze...

This question feels unanswerable without a better definition of what kind of flying vehicles you're interested in - and given that we're talking about D&D, I'm guessing that flying creatures of dubious aerodynamic performance are also expected to be dealt with. Most RPGs with these kinds of...
