We are 80 some sessions into my sandbox campaign and the players run away or tactically withdraw to regroup, a fair amount. Maybe once every 10 combats. A lot of times they use hit and run tactics to weaken the enemy, but other times they get into a encounter that goes bad and the realize the...

Didn't the critical roll hardcover setting sell really well? Personal i write all my own adventures in a homebrew setting so monster books and rules books are what I want. I buy most ot the 5e books just for the last 20 pages of monsters.

Normally I am not a fan of Pathfinder Cover art, but i like this one. Not sure whom it is but I like it.

The trick is modeling swords and lasers so it makes sense that they are both viable weapons....or not it is frigging He Man no one realy dies anyway.

It does look like a phone.I was think she was showing a video to the party, the material component for her enthrall spell. "You can not look away from these cat videos" Also to strahd have a face on the right side of his cape?

So less combat oriented games. I get that. The wonder of RPGs is they are so versatile and can be played many different ways. That said people who play games less reliant on a tactical grid may be less inclined to use Roll 20 and just play directly on sites like discord.

Interesting. Why wouldn't you consider D&D an RPG? And what games do you consider RPGs?

Always looking for a good adventure I clicked on "A Pound of Flesh" and this was the product description. "A Pound of Flesh is a toolkit for building your own run-down, back-water, black market space station. And all in a compact zine format." I'm confused is it a adventure or a supplement...

Old habits. I always say things like "hey I'm going to be DMing a Traveler one shot next weekend" or "that lady is a phenomenal Shadowrun DM" I guess it's like saying Rollerblade versus inline skates or Klenex versus tissue

Create You can write adventures, suplements, settings, or even whole systems. As a DM I spend more time creating stuff for my game than playing it.

Combat is a lot of my 5 e campaign, maybe 65% but that's because it is slow in 5th eddtion. In my last campaign played in 1e the combat was 40% of the campaign. Both played in the same style. Or to put it another way the RP and Explorering part take the same time in each edition but a similar...

Again this is a great article and appreciate all the insight. Timing wise I just saw that the publisher Lamentations of the Flame Princess is in dire straights. Illustrating the difficulty of everything in the artical and showing one wrong move can sink your RPG buisness.

I think you missed one that seems somewhat obvious, running a RPG website.

Yeah my first thought was that it was a CoC scenario guide to a strange cult.

If you start at 20 I assume that means no leveling? Maybe it has other perks that you get?

The link to the mechanic blog didnt work. I get why designers want to come up with new mechanics, but this one seems backwards. Intuitively roll high is the easiest to grasp. Even trying to get doubles kind of works. But a mechanic where you avoid something is less exciting for me. To try and...

Agreed though I might substitute the Moldvay Basic for the Red Box but 8 have a soft spot for B/X I dont play PF, too crunchy, but will pick up the starter set for sure as ot is probably rules light enough to give a try.

Great! Thanks for the heads up. I grant you inspiration.

I buy these for monsters. Good to see a lot of them here but I was really hoping for a high CR Gorgon or Medusa.

I would prefer more action than the posing for a family portrait look.
