Is it a dice pool system, or do you simply roll a d6 to hit? From their site, it isn't clear "If you are evenly matched, say with a Good Melee versus a Good Defence, the difficulty to hit is 4. This means any result of 4 and up counts as a hit."

Ooooh... Star Frontiers would be great (I am unfamiliar with Gamma World, so no opinion on that one). I still have all of my old Star Frontiers stuff. I always liked Star Frontiers, though my group at the time wasn't as interested.

The Kickstarter union story is a bit confusing... so, the employees were upset because Kickstarter canceled a project that violated the terms of service (because the project encouraged violence against others) and decided to form a union because of that? I am not familiar with the project, but...

There are much cheaper copies available on ebay...

I am definitely bookmarking that... that looks great. Are there any modules available for it? I am not a big Star Wars fan, but my kids are. Wasn't crazy about the FFG Star Wars system.

That sounds interesting... how do I get a copy of that ;)

Goodman Games needs to get busy :). I bought their 3 conversions already, but haven't had a chance to do anything with them. I will most likely buy any other conversions that they do.

Interesting that they have D&D 5E and then separately Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition... though, the latter is quite small.

I am almost certainly in on this... pretty exciting stuff.

I just started reading Descent into Avernus. I am only in the chapter on the bathhouse. I am liking this adventure so far, and had been considering running it for a group that is new to D&D. However, once I started looking at the stat blocks for the early encounters, I don't see a group that...

I haven't touched Pathfinder in years, but am interested in this. Whether or not I back the kickstarter depends on how far out the delivery date is...

Luckily, I have a bit more time than I thought I originally had... so I should have time to investigate more of these suggestions. I thought we were playing this weekend! o_O

This is probably one of the best threads ever...

I would love a Fallout RPG... but 2d20 doesn't sound like it is for my group :(

I have been tempted to run Princes of the Apocalypse a number of times. I think it would require quite a bit of prep, so I haven't done it yet. If this group seems interested in continuing to play after a few sessions, this may be the next step. I do have the full adventure. Are there things...

I read through some of these... these sound like they could be fun to run and play. I had seen this PDF, but somehow hadn't read any of it prior to this!

Lost Mine is a good length and I like how it is broken into a number of short adventures. I think the campaigns would be a bit much for new players.

Yeah, I browsed through the adventure, and that was my impression as well. Don't want a new group getting bored and spending too much time trying to figure out what to do. I have this for C&C... but, haven't read through it yet. I'll check this out. This is one of the few WotC publications...

Even just playing the beginning of Lost Mine might be a good start. The trip to Phandelver itself would be a several hour adventure... especially for new players. The nice thing about Lost Mines is that it is broken into shorter adventures. You may need to prod them along a bit. My group...

What shortish adventures do people recommend running for a group of new players? I would love to run Lost Mines for them, but one player has played before and has played about half of that adventure. I would like to find something along those lines that throws the group into the action and...
