I even read...somewhere...maybe in one of the old Dragon Magazine articles, that there is in implication that it is indeed the same St. Cuthbert.

This was my desire as well. I like using miniatures but I also like the ease of producing good looking maps. Also, you could throw in some graphic effects like 'splosions.

Oh the experiments in gaming my group has made. We made a touch board with a projector and cannibalized Wii remotes. The map was projected from the ceiling and the software running was Cartographer 3 I believe. This was before roll20. We used silicon to take molds of miniatures and then melted...

To your last point. If one reads the life of St. Cuthbert you can see how communities in rural England still held onto their old gods. There is a funny story about the townspeople making fun of monks floating down river, and how their silly god who was not saving them, despite their prayers.

I feel so basic. This almost word for word described my homebrew setting. Fantasy as a spectrum, this article describes a lower wrung, which I prefer, though I am a big Pathfinder 1e fan. I think your expectations have a lot to do with what introduced you to fantasy in the first place. I have...

The comic that is out now has been stellar. I highly recommend. It is a cut above the usual licensed comic fare. It toes a great line of introduction for new people and plenty for OVs (old vampires) to chew on. I would really look forward to a new Dark Ages line. From what I have seen, the new...

It would be nice to receive it as a separate PDF with purchase. Doing that incentivizes me to buy directly rather than through, say, Amazon. Maybe it is not the right way to see things but I want a digital version to come with every physical thing I buy.

Having never been a teacher I couldn't say but I know I have to do it depending on the game. If it is a game rooted in real world history and you have a table of people who don't know how one would behave in that time then you will have to do some teaching. But that is going to be true with any...

The guys over at Stuff You Should Know podcast did a great episode on the Satanic Panic. I find mass hysteria interesting. Like the dancing plagues in Germany. The Satanic Panic lingered on for quite some time. I remember getting into Magic: The Gathering in the late 90s and my buddy got his...

Sorry for your loss. My best friend comrade in dice died a couple years ago. TTRPG was his favorite thing in the whole world and we went through great lengths to keep him in the game despite his illness. He has passed into legend at my table now as we tell stories of his heroic deeds. I cannot...

This is the only 5th ed thing that has ever piqued my interest.

I'm not concerned all too much with other people's imagination. Maybe people spend more time being entertained than entertaining themselves idk. But at the same time, there has never been more role playing games being made. More people are putting their imagination to work and producing a...

Gibbering Mouthers are a fun classic monster. Mummys are one of my favorites though.

BESM, Teenagers From Outerspace, Bubblegum Crisis. All great games with an aesthetic that turns a number of people off. I wonder if someone supplanted all the art in these books, if GMs could get their players bought in. Not everything is for everyone though and nor should games strive to be. I...

I would be interested to read how a Black Hole was actually handled. These little reviews are fun.

I have done the "Season" idea many times. My Vampire Masquerade went off and on for about a decade. The relationships that were developed were so strong by that point. It was all very organic and my role as a GM changed. I really just sat back and arbitrated. I find that the less I have to do as...

My year long 3.5 sandbox is drawing to a close soon. I don't think I have ever put more work into a game before. I set an artificial end. Level 12 and when they wrap up the current quest they are on. I could keep going on forever I am sure but I have so many other games I want to run. I wouldn't...

I haven't even had a chance to read the book yet o_O. Didn't know about the tables.

Because there is little in the way of adventures for Alien RPG, I am thinking I will adapt Delta Green stuff. Anyone else going about adapting something for Alien?

When are they going to start licensing Sitcoms? Perfect Strangers rpg.
