    D&D 5E (2014) Fivethirtyeight Article About D&D Race and Class Combos

    Really? That is the completely off-the-wall, out of left field, assumption the guy makes? "lets you focus on killing monsters and taking their loot" is equally pulled out of the air, but most likely more on point. [/COLOR]

    RPG Combat: Sport or War?

    Based on the moment in time the picture was taken of its apparent that the fencer on the left has attempted to avoid the touch of the fencer on the right which explains his body position. As for the 'under the mask', it looks much more like the tip hit the armpit. And as for bending a foil...

    Green Ronin To Publish The Expanse RPG

    Calling the AGE system popular might be a bit of a stretch. But yeah, with it being AGE I'll give it a pass. Even SavageWorlds would have been a better system for it.

    Gen Con Day One

    Starfinder sold out in like 6 hours or something like that. Bunch of us stopped by Paizo both about 11 on Wed between gaming sessions and the line was friggin' long. Lines for getting into the vendor hall were inane (in 4 days I spent 2 hours in the vendor hall, so eh). After last year I...

    Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, John Rogers, and Ryan Macklin Play FATE CORE!

    Huh? Btw, 1st and 2nd were interchangable. Oh no, can't have a tad bit of work associated with your 'game'. Updating a character sheet is so tedious, it might get in the way of someone watching a video with some buffons playing a roleplaying game. ::aghast::

    The Dilemma of the Simple RPG

    Yes, I do know what you mean. And actually with what you meant I do agree with.

    The Dilemma of the Simple RPG

    Yeah but most RPGs, of any sort, are created by amateur game designers. Technically yes, if you get paid, you are a 'professional' but doesn't really mean much.

    The Dilemma of the Simple RPG

    Rules light systems aren't necessarily universal. Often they are very thematic, i.e. gumshoe. Other times as you point out they are not. I would not consider SW to be 'rules light'... 'rules medium' maybe. Ability selection is definitely constrained, and it also has something similar to...

    The Dilemma of the Simple RPG

    Fair enough... it is about how you frame the question of course. Or you could ask, "Are you expecting more buys from experienced players, or beginners?".

    The Dilemma of the Simple RPG

    I play PF a lot. However, I hate Golarion with a passion - not that I was really a fan of Forgotten Realms - both try and add everyone's taste into it, and it just ends up tasting like bland gruel. I admit, I've not bothered to chart out the spacing of the Paizo products; but they are still...

    The Dilemma of the Simple RPG

    It's also a 'generic system' and 5e is not. If you look at just the core Savage Worlds even tossing in fantasy it is really quite straightforward. Well, forgive me if I don't believe random person on internet actually did what they said (I wouldn't believe me either...). Do it journalist...
