The Symbaroum Monster Codex has a good mix of in-universe flavor and direct advice to GMs. Each monster came with a ready to play story hook in each entry.

Monster manuals are one of the evergreen books in tabletop RPGs. Monsters can help define the world not just as things for the players to battle but also through their art and the bits of lore connected to each creature. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition has kept monsters to a minimum so...

There's a code to unlock both adventures and the short rulebook on Avatar Nexus for free and a 50% the core book coupon. I already unlocked the other stuff with the free code for KS backers.

I quite liked the Black Hack when I reviewed it here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-black-hack-boxed-set-offers-almost-everything-you-need-for-an-excellent-hexcrawl.685311/

It may not have been a strong season but it's probably why the core book is getting a hardcover reprint and there's a second expansion on the way.

I still have my Star Warriors boxed set from there!

One of the things MotW taught me was how to use soft and hard moves to convey difficulty. Soft moves give the chance a players to react, while hard moves just hit them because the situation warrants it. A good example in the case of that shotgun blast might be if the players are sneaking around...

Kids who love Avatar will do the work. I mentioned this game to a classroom I was speaking to about D&D and I saw half the classes eyes light up. Airbending and D&D? Together??? Minds were blown. Also, they can google actual plays to help them figure it out. Magpie even has one coming out...

The KS update mentioned that it's a timed Target exclusive. At some point in the next couple months you can get it at other places. As for what this has that's new to people who backed the Kickstarter: Two new adventures, one set in the Aang Era and one in the Korra Era. Ten d6 with Tui and La...

Powered By The Apocalypse has come on strong as an influential rule set over the last decade plus. It frames every game as a conversation with certain things happening based on the fiction. The discussion of moves, agendas and the like can throw some people off even though much of the game is...

Speaking from my nerd dad experience, stuff.we would have considered nerdy when I was a kid is far more accepted. Most of the kids in my kid's class have Pokemon cards. The school's D&D club is bursting at the seams. This game is also aimed at kids in the primary grades before social standing...

There is likely a tiny human in your life that you want to introduce to gaming. Even if it’s not your own child, there’s a niece, nephew, friend's kid or someone else that might be showing an interest in games. For many people, the traditional choice it to drop off D&D Starter Set or Player’s...

My first steps into tabletop gaming came when I bought the Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator at Waldenbooks. My friends and I loved punching out the chits and figuring out the rules, but I found that I cared more about tossing myself over the couch whenever my ship got hit rather than...

Agreed. I structure my campaigns like TV seasons. If we're enjoying it, we can always come back rather than the expectation being all 20 levels of play to the bitter end.

I'm glad that folks disagree with the single genre/system shift. I have personally found it the least effective but I also have cutivated playgroups that are more open to trying out brand new games. I've seen some groups that have to take things a bit more slowly, often heading through something...
