This happens especially because there was often no consideration for objective truth. A writer who did no like an individual ruler might describe that individual in a certain way, often giving them physical maladies that, in their mind, signify there are issues in their personality. A crooked...

If there were Dragonlance, I would consider playing 5e.

I like to have a fleshed out history, world map, religion and factions, in order to draw from, to answer questions like those above. I agree that you don't need those things to go adventuring.

I do like that very much.

It is easily one of the more memorable APs. Is anyone going in on this who did in it PF1 and plan on doing it again? I am interested to know if people really want to do an AP twice.

I apologize for causing so much rumination on the point. I agree that editions waste time as developers recreate Keep on the Borderlands for the millionth time. I don't think D&D needs rules added to it so it can do everything. Maybe that is good for WotC but I don't think it is good for the...

In my sandbox hexcrawl 3.5 I am running. The more they do the more reputation they gain, factions begin to take notice. Adventures they have gone through have consequences, things left undone, people they have crossed. Those things add up over time. In my grim low fantasy setting, nothing is...

A trope I dislike in traditional TTRPG is that every foe is meant to be fought or else would not be placed before the characters. It is gerenally assumed by the party that every monster is somewhat appropriate for their current power level. Anyone with experiance in WoD games sees this a...

A necromunda book would be great.

I disagree that "editions" are bad for the industry as a whole. Maybe for video games but not for TTRPG, though if Rockstar could put out a new GTA every year they would. I think change is good and taking risks is a healthy part of any industry. 4th edition was not a product I liked, and was...

I bought Anima when it came out all those years ago, along with the GM screen and module. To this day it has never been used. It intimidated my group with its giant tables.

This is a little different in say Vampire. You are supposed to make a very fleshed out character, and yet the game is very deadly. Maybe I am just lucky but I had players go through almost every bit of pre-written content for Vampire Dark Ages and then die, but it was a satisfying and dramatic...

Rolling is fun, point allocation is sensible. Both are fine.

My favorite morality system has always been WoD Nature and Demeanor. That system has always gotten my players more active in portraying a characters rather than an archetypes. When a player would get stuck on how to behave in a situation I just tell them to go read there nature and demeanor and...

I have done a podcast review of two solo games: House of Vermin and Chronicles of Arax. Both you can get for free on drivethrurpg. I am not much for solo gaming myself. One I would like to do is Zozer's Solo for Cepheus Engine. Over at Hyperlight Drifter they are working on solo rules on their...

My Travaller group moved to roll20 through all of this. This has been a stable group of gamers since the late 80s. Nothing was going to stop them. I have always had issues retaining players or having a stable game going that start out in Roll20. Constant commitment issues. Pretty frustrating.

Just character sheets, from what I know. We are buying map tiles from drivethrurpg to ease the burden. On the one hand I am surprised there were premade sheets on roll20 but on the other, determined Travaller players are just the type to make a very good sheet.

I dont envy him all the prep work for moving to roll20.

I am interested to know if you are using the anniversary edition\1st edition, or the later edition stuff with the expanded rules.

Travaller! The GM went mad and bought all the content for Pirates of Drinax. Also, while I am running a 3.5 homebrew hexcrawl on roll20, we will be transitioning to Alien. I am keeping myself from even cracking the Alien book until we are close to done in the hexcrawl. I don't wanna get too...
