Do you believe this feasible? How could this happen? A classified here? Are there better places where someone could look for?

It's always a pleasure to see how good the industry is doing! At the same time it is really outstanding the number of products/games/genres we have!

My 2 cents on this subject: i would like to be an author... In the sense that i started writing a RPG. I am facing several issues: 1. I am not an english native speaker therefore writing in english could result into a text not flowing 2. I have never written anything before this experience and...

You got the point: i never played 5E as i stopped at 3.5; with that system, for your 10th level PC it was difficult to suffer a damage large enough to die in a single event: this is why the players are not used to find their PC dead... In a game where you can be killed at the 3rd/4th blow of...

Ditto! You'd first think to the game you have in mind and afterwards you'd deploy it by means also of the stats... For instance i made up my FRPG and defined 4(+1) stats because i did not need too many definitions of the persona. Be sure to do a checklist of all the main rules/game mechanics you...

I'd propose to do the other way round: keep TTRPG as a name to point out the analog/play-at-the-table and make up a new defintition for the "digital" forms of gaming. Btw the double T could easily stand for "true tabletop", isnt that? Re to the new ways of gaming a definition could be DCRPG...

That is interesting, if you have some links or hints, pls let me know for i'd be really interested in reading about such a topic! Correct, but that is not the point i want to discuss: i am not complaining about rules... i am complaning about the fact that whenever you have a 7th level party...

That is the moldvay's response to ad&d... It was too early for 3e!

Yes, maybe even more... I believe the open license made him his job not possible any more...

In another thread i tried to discuss whether or not this is the right question for anyone who wants to be a publisher/writer/creator. Do you enter the creative process to produce smtg "wanted" by the largest share of consumers or to generate the intellectual product you are looking for? The...

Thanks, in case no one has yet compiled a list of readings on such a topic, it' d useful to start one here... Therefore, if you have other links, pls post them!

Just wow! Lucky you and all the spare time you have! :oops:

For at least the last 10 years (if not more) i used a website as one of thr most useful resources for my collecting activity. After so many time i discovered the "other side" of the same website: https://www.darkshire.net/~jhkim/rpg/theory/ I have just started reading this part (along with the...

Interesting topic... What is underlying is the fact that the success of a game is measured in nr of sessions rather than sales. It would be very interesting to see a comparison between the two rankings (games by sessions vs games by sales). An overall comment: at first i didn't get the target...

Thanks for the last couple of comments, some side notes though: 1. Combat/fight is not the only context where the concept of balancing is used... I mention them as they are the most immediate and easy application of balancing 2. Prob being a non native english speaker, i misused some words and...

Please do not forget "sword's path" by Leading Edge: possibly the most detailed game for combat... The publisher is the same of pheonix commando already mentioned here above!

Well, your comments are definitely right and i have nothing against your assumptions and conclusions. My point is slightly different: i believe that in-game world should be similar to reality. This means that, as an adventurer, a PC should find himself (along with the whole party) against a wide...

Well, going by points: 1. It depends what is your perspective and final goal: if this is maximise the efficiency in encounters (i.e. you want to have only fights with a "balanced" counterpart for the sake of earing XP), that is fine... But have even considered that even these "outlier events"...

I do not back anymore KS or Indiegogo... But when i used to do that i had the impression that: 1. Stretch bonus items can be of 2 types mainly: add-ons to the object of the fund-raising (namely: color print rather than b/w, additional pages, HB rather than softback...) or "useless" stuff (a die...

Great great great comment! I have to bookmark it somehow! This is one of the key features i want to preserve and ideally extend over time in the game i have written... I hope I found a way to prolong this status of "looking at the world with the eyes of a child", or i hope so. Where is the quote...
