Though I am not a fan of Jim Butcher, some of the things he says about writing are useful and he talks about, when it comes to Dresden Files, every actions the character takes in that serious makes something worse. This constantly ups the tension in the story to a climax. I think that this works...

I enjoy the idea of old Spelljammer. It allowed for multiple Pantheons and if you left your gods sphere you could no longer commune with them. My favorite Pantheon, if you could define it that way, is Vampire Dark Ages. I almost wrote an essay just now on why but I'm gonna hold back. As far as a...

Unfortunately, others did not play along.

Have any name you want. I do have a friend couple who always base there characters on movie and tv characters and even use the name. I feel like that lacks imagination but that's personal and if that is the character they want, then that is fine. I pull out the pun names rarely but one of my...

Next up in the line of licensed nostalgia Threes Company the RPG.

I don't buy a guitar without playing it first. I don't buy pants without trying them on. RPGs are the same. I sample someones material, if they offer anything free or PWYW, and then I throw them bones if I like it. I do a thing where I review Free and PWYW RPGs and Comics and while I am not...

Really missed an opportunity here. There should have been an announcement to announce this announcement.

You could be right though a moving morality score (humanity and the like) fits nicely to me. Almost everyone except Hellboy tends to get dead in the comics as well. I am always okay with deadly combat in my games. I have never played Buffy though. I have been saying this for years but d20 does...

I think the Storyteller system would be a great fit for Hellboy.

We have Castle Ravenloft. The few times it was played it left us feeling we should have just played actual D&D. Waterdeep on the other hand is one of my favorite board games, regardless of it being D&D. Not all D&D products have to be for people who are regular players, of course. More...

I really thought they were all in the same world. I have been reading the new Frankenstein book. The two issues or so that are out anyway.

The BPRD has a long history that included many other strange characters not to mention the entire expanse of the Mignolaverse including other super natural beings. I would like to see it be a period game, maybe even pre WWII, and before the summing of the boy in red. How about a campaign set...

How are the roll20 stats calculated? Does someone just firing up a game count for these numbers or to they take into account whether any hours were spent being played? Don't know that it would change the numbers all that much just curious.

Along the lines of collect, I buy some things to support a creator I like, even though I have no plans to use a product. I do the same thing with music and comic books. If no one buys the thing, they can't go on to make other things.

I find this hard to answer and context is everything here. Depends on the game, the people, the campaign, whats going on in particular session. A lot of things. I decided the best way to answer was to make a judgement based on all the games I have ever played. How much combat happens in VtM...

Poor Doodads (druids) short end of the stick.

Yes but did they ever carry around their entire Pathfinder library to their game night and back?

The link for the vampire article goes to Tabletop Tycoon Donates $500,000 Worth of Games to Local Stores | Dice Tower News for some reason.

In my current 3.5 hexcrawl/sandbox that I GM, the party did a significant amount of travel, traversing half a small continent. Doing so took a long time (four sessions). Their journey ended at a city, the first city they have been to since the campaigns beginning. The joy and relief they...

What I don't like about this is that this requires these creators to be entertainers. Some people don't like to engage at that level. It also opens up their personal lives to the public and not everyone wants to share that much. Not everyone is entertaining at all levels either. Someone could be...
