You know I found as many RPG forums, classified them and did a visualization of them . . . almost exactly 10 years ago. A lot of those are still around actually. You can click any of the sites on the treemap or table and it will open up the website...

Distributor of indie rpgs in Canada and the UK here (Compose Dream Games). Figured I'd chime in. I also did my masters in retail geography and studied comic and game stores for my thesis, that was just over a decade ago, and Canada is a different market. Grain of salt. As Compose Dream Games we...

I should have remembered Jason Pitre also puts up the RPG Design Panelcast -- RPG Design Panelcast | Jason Pitre

There's a few episodes of the Ottawa Game Designers up on Spotify. The one's I was in aren't up yet. Maybe Fraser will add them at some point.

Good write up Rob. Small correction the designer Mikey Hamm. We sell Slugblaster to our fellow Canucks in print or in PDF through the Compose Dream Games Slugblaster Core The Game of the Year Edition just sold out.

I r an a lot of "squad" and then some big battles in Dungeons Unleashed. Here's a write up Dungeons Unleashed Battle System You can grab the full beta rules as a free PDF. System uses multiple opposed d12s and the GM to make judgements on the relative strength of units.

I just read through and then did a video on Aegean. All the players are from the same Greek city-state (polis) and it is a democracy. They get to decide what type of Arkon is currently in charge. There's a downtime phase/subsystem that is a city events and building. The phase is largely...

The Aegean thread is over here Not DnD | Aegean There's a bit of a discussion on it and I also just did a video about the game myself.

And here is the video looking at the core book that I did!

I read through the core Aegean book in detail recently. One of the interesting aspects of the game is that all the heroes come from the same Polis and usually create it together at the start of play. During downtime (the only time you can recover from wounds) there is a city phase. Players get...

There use to be a HackTrack download on the keznerco site but I haven't been able to find it since the site update. Hackmaster uses a "count up" system. The GM counts up per second combat and players declare actions each second that they do something. (If you read that and are unfamiliar with...

Yo Hackmaster is dope. I couldn't figure out how to run it as GM with more than like 2 monsters until I came across the "HackTrack". Campaigns I have run with it have all been rather short, but I suppose that is most campaigns I run :oops: Awesome. Sometimes little things really stick out as...

I can't go as far as @Jd Smith1 but I do think he is making an interesting point. Hackmaster 5e is very different from early D&D (and current D&D). It does keep a lot of the D&Disms: like the core 4 classes being primary, similar races, 6 attributes plus looks, levels. It changes a lot too. The...

This will be the 3rd year I attend Tabletop Scotland. It's always been a good convention, with interesting exhibitors, panels and lots of gaming. It's move this year to Edinburgh and a much larger location. I'll be at Compose Dream Games booth D3-07 with over 50+ different titles. These are...

Hackmaster is on 5e (unless I am really missing something). Love that game, it's fantastic. Have been wanting to check out Aces & Eights for a while -- I'm sure if it was in one of my local shops I would have snapped it up by now. Some of the Union busting your talking about reminds me of an...
