Yeah, the WFRP system on Foundry is great. All hail Moo Man! The first thing I ask people when they ask me about VTTs is "what game do you play." For Pathfinder 2e and WFRP, Foundry has the best support. For D&D it really comes down to individual features and how you like to run your game...

Fair enough. I'm burnt out on buying new games. Don't have the time to play what I already have and don't want to spend more money, even on cool games, just to have them sit on my shelf. And, after over tens years since getting back in the hobby, very few games are offering a compelling enough...

A number of people have made disparaging comments about publishers encouraging their fans to vote. I don't get it. Personally, I think any publisher that can convince enough of their fans to vote and that they have enough fans to make a difference speaks well for a game. Kinda how popularity...

Underwhelming in that you feel that there are more deserving games that didn't make the list (if so, which?) or that you just don't find any of them interesting?

Just D&D? Not much since I moved to running a Warhammer Fantasy campaign in early 2024. Do you include game conventions?

I've been using Foundry with Forge for hosting for a few years now after using RealmWorks and Map Tool. I tested Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and d20pro before settling on Foundry. Since then there are many more VTTs that have become popular and improvements made to the more popular ones, but...

Okay, spill. :)

I thought part of the process was to make nominations? Did you nominate it?

I'm not that informed about the rules or process for the nominations, nor do I have much interest in diving into that, but I find that every year they've done this I've learned of some new and interesting games. I only voted for MCDMs game, because it is the only one I'm following, backing, and...

Tell me about it. THEY WHAT!!!

WHOOSH (my head) Is there an ENworld discussion or link to some site so I can be in on the geekiest reference on ENWorld. I'm feeling insufficiently geeky.

It is tough. With older players, as an older GM I'm pulled in two directions. In one direction, I was easier to run games, so I can focus more on story and world building and less on rules arcana. In the other direction, older players are comfortable with D&D. Also, while D&D (whatever edition...

I find that the general principle here is the same for me, but that it manifest differently. In terms of tech, I have fully embraced VTTs, and Foundry with loads of community mods, at that. But decades of working with complex technology likely has a lot to do with that. But also, I like letting...

My experience in LA saw a lot of that. I'm willing to admit that maybe I just rubbed Angelenos the wrong way, but they were too polite to tell me that to my face. :)

And they called us the slacker generation. ;-) Actually, it think it is that when you are in your 40s and 50s, you live by you calendar. Often work responsibilities are highest at this age and there is a good chance that at this age you've been coordinating your kids' schedules with yours and...

With the necessary "IME" caveat, I have found this to be a regional difference. Again, IME, I've found... California - people will casually commit to a date/meeting and just as casually cancel at the last minute. Midwest - tentatively commit but will get back to you. Milwaukee has a bit more...

Sorry, but what do you mean by "tricks" and "specials"? I've use Bill Webb's Book of Dirty Tricks for inspiration and also playing in games that use the card deck version. I think the golden rule of DM tricks is his advice to "build the story, don't screw the players." One example I've used...

Unless it is for my game room, I like more abstract art. Outside of my game room, the one art piece I could see handing would be the original cover of The Hobbit. MUSEUM OUTLETS sells Tolkien cover wall art. They also sell a variety of book spine and cover art that I find attractive: book...

In my D&D games I leave that it up to the players. I let them whisper verbal components and be subtle with their somatic components. In Warhammer Fantasy (4e), there are more explicit rules for this. Casting magic requires a Language (Magick) test. Most wizards have to speak their spells at...
