I've never run or played in a supers game. I don't want to yuck other's yums, but the actual fictional superheroes genre in comic books no longer appeals to me like it did when I was younger. (The mega prose web-serial Worm being an exception - recommend, a lot) That said, D&D 4e was sort of...

Did you seriously hit the button with your tongue? That in itself seems like a DC20 (or higher!) DEX check...

I recently read the first chapter of Pride and Prejudice, where in Mr. and Mrs. Bennett have a conversation about their new neighbors. It is a masterpiece of dialog wherein the entire premise of the novel is laid out; as well as very clearly defining the characters of both of the Bennett...

As I wrote in the other thread, Star-Crossed, using the Dread jenga tower rules between two people who everyone else knows just shouldn't be together, but that attraction, well it's too strong, and eventually when the tower falls, they gonna mash, dang the consequences...

When my doctor tells me her (adult) kids are reading a fantasy series, that's when I know it's penetrated beyond the geekosphere.

It's not yet released. The link goes to the crowdfund preview page. It's by Two Little Mice of Household fame, so I expect the art will be gorgeous, shipping will be murder, and the game itself? Well, Household didn't suck so my bet is it will be not bad to mildly great.

Generative AI is a terrible search tool, which is how you used it here. It's a great brainstorming tool for someone who has passing or better familiarity with the subject being brainstormed. So that said someone can filter out the naughty word, and pull the pearls from the slop.

Re: the OP I like to read the occasional Romance, but don't really want to do romance with folks I know, much less folks I don't know. So games like StarCrossed I'm a nope on. I just typed this in another thread, that I used to like superheroes, but no longer. That said, I'd play in a supers...

This has not been my experience, I must be shopping at the wrong venues, or my definition of "goes for a steal" is different... I should have searched EBAY first. wth, I may have to double up on my PHBs rn so I can run a game!

The first half of the list is my thing. Dangerous Visions, John Brunner, etc. Pulp heroes, if only the pulps weren't products of their time, but they were, so that's ok. Superheroes I used to love, now not so much.

Ever play the Usagi Yojimbo RPGs, any of the various versions? I love the source material; but I bounce kind of hard off licensed properties that aren't themselves "troop" style fiction. My brain has a hard time shifting from the single protagonist POV to the party at the table. But maybe either...

The three I am referring to are: Fallen London Magnus Archives Shadowdark Western Reaches

Basically in a single day we got 3 $1M kickstarters all at once; although two were at the very end of their campaigns; while Shdowdark Western Reaches will probably get to $1.7M or so (more?)

You know that thing about men thinking about the Roman Empire? For me, if my partner asked me about Terra Ignota, my answer would be "Every damn day..."

It's not pbta. There's a link to a free quickstart. I didn't check it out; but magpie have made some good games over the past decade, so I'd expect this one to be pretty good. And the Setting and the in-game world building part is quite appealing. Edit to add the quickstart link: DriveThruRPG

There's something about language - when you are in a strange land, and all of a sudden you encounter someone who speaks the same language, there's this relief and a sense of belonging that you didn't even realize you were missing. This of course is on a spectrum, very much (for me) proportional...

I just entered in most of my purchases since Jan 1, except for the various SF/F/Mystery book purchases I made over this past weekend while on travels (and used the wrong card for, whoops!) Anyway, Jan/Feb was the season of getting BILLED for shipping for seven, count 'em, seven crowdfunds. One...

When will we get the Coyote & Crow play reports ;)
