I used to be so worried about exerting control over a player's control over their character that I would be indirect when telling them their character was about to do something stupid and/or ruin session or campaign for everyone else. Star Wars (West End Games version): The PCs were on a...

So I’ve run into a problem. My original plan for this giant was to make her a nice goth giant with tattoos. Pale skin was the original plan, but now she looks like a California girl who drinks kale smoothies and does Pilates. I didn’t do the face because I planned on goth makeup. What to...

I’m working on this giant from Dungeons & Lasers. It’s technically fine. At only $35 it’s a good value, but my biggest criticism is that nothing about this mini screams giant except the small owl on her left hand. It just looks like a bigger version of a regular sized mini.

Very often a new edition is a good thing because they typically fix problems with the previous edition. I can only think of a few games where the new edition was a disappointment. Legend of the Five Rings 2nd edition I'm looking at you. With D&D 5th edition, well, it's not a new edition, so I...

Now I want a Cyberpunk version of WotC who sends edgerunners to your house when you use third party products or your house rules go too far astray of the orthodox.

Bingo. D&D was produced by Americans for an American audience. In the 1970s, TSR was happy to sell to foreign markets when they could, they had a nice deal with Games Workshop to distribute D&D, but I think D&D continues to be produced for and by Americans. And since most of us currently...

I feel like we've been in the age of D&D like games for just about the entirety of the last 25 years. At least since the Great d20 Glut of the early 2000s. In the 1990s I could walk into my FLGS and see AD&D side by side with GURPS, Cyberpunk 2020, Dark Conspiracy, Traveller, and a myriad of...

I hate using those because it takes players a while before they can stop thinking about what the card is before just knowing it instantly on sight.

PEG, Inc. does produce their own cards for use with Savage Worlds. They're larger than a standard deck of cards which is actually kind of nice when using them for the game. But I'm guessing you might want some cards related to the theme of whatever game you're playing. I picked up some...

We are an unreliable partner at best and an actively hostile entity at worse. The current administration made actually made a deal with Canada during its first term, but decided to go against it during his second term by starting a trade war. What this means is even if Canada and the United...

I don't have any problem with anyone making bank. If they're making a ton of profit off something they could have sold me for much cheaper it doesn't bother me in the least. They're offering a price I'm willing to pay for and that's good enough for me.

Lumber is a major industry down here in Arkansas as well and we even have a few paper mills. I'm not sure if it's the right wood for the type of paper that goes into books though. This does illustrate just how underappreciated the complexity of supply chains really are by most of us.

Radroaches are hard to hit.

Honestly, it's not something I really worry about either. I've never really looked at a game and said, "That's way too fantastical, I don't want to play." I prefer campaign settings that are a little on the grounded side, for a certain value of grounded, but I can appreciate something like...

I prefer a mostly down to Earth setting with the more fantastical elements not playing a major role in the day-to-day lives of regular people. i.e. Farmer Bob might see a roc in the sky one day and worry about one of his cows being picked off, but he doesn't have a druid on standby to enhance...

Can confirm and I'm just a crummy miniatures painter. The brush strokes left behind do not correspond to the image we see. At least not exactly.

Why?

No. Even if it cost the same or the prices were somehow lower, were I a Canadian I still wouldn't purchase anything from a U.S. company. Not while there was a trade war going on. This isn't just about the price of things. But I don't think the message from Troll Lord Games was directed an...
