    MGibster's Big Bad Thread of Big Bad Miniatures 2024

    I'm planning on combatting my own grey tide in the coming year. I don't have anything near twenty years old as I only started painting and collecting again back in 2020 but I still have quite a bit of unpainted material I want to get to. In particular I want to start on my Cyberpunk Red Combat...

    D&D General Finished reading my 4th "History of D&D" book. Thoughts.

    I've read all those as well as all of Designers & Dragons. Have to agree regarding Of Dice and Men. It's a weird read with the bizarre vampire game session bits mixed in with each chapter. Definitely the least essential read of the bunch in my opinion when covering RPG history.

    How Do You Like Your Super Hero TTRPG Games/Campaigns?

    I've always been a sucker for a Super Hero RPG. I've played Champions, Heroes Unlimited, FASERIP, Mayfair's DC Heroes, Mutants & Masterminds, SuperWorld, Icons, & Sentinels of the Multiverse. Mutants & Masterminds & Icons are my current go to systems depending on what I'm feeling.

    Dragonbane by Free League

    I got my copy from supporting the Kickstarter and have looked through it. It's a nice looking set. Haven't gotten it to the table yet however because I have a huge backlog of games I want to run that it has now joined.

    How Do You Like Your Super Hero TTRPG Games/Campaigns?

    I really enjoy a lot of variety when it comes to Super Hero RPGs so I marked a lot of the categories in this poll. The main era/genre I tend to avoid is the overly grim/gritty Iron Age since that's the least interesting option IMO. My favorite campaigns have tended to be one of these two: A...

    What do you NOT want to use tech for in you TTRPG?

    We switched my gaming groups to VTT temporarily at the start of the pandemic as I assume most groups did. Always viewed it as a necessary evil and definitely not an improvement. It makes the upkeep of prepping games way more cumbersome and less fun. Switched back to in person games as soon as...

    How long are your gaming sessions?

    In my campaigns the standard session length is 4 to 4 1/2 hours. These are all in person sessions hosted at my home. We play weekly save for weeks where we have multiple cancelations or holidays and the like intrude.

    RPG Print News – Mongoose Publishing, Renegade Games Studios, and More

    Sometimes these release dates seem wild to me. Chicago by Night for Vampire 5th Edition has been on my local store shelves for at least half a year now. I know because I picked up my copy then.

    D&D 5E (2024) Are you going to buy the new 2024 D&D Core Books

    Yeah, it's been my favorite system since it came out. I have even been running some of the original 3.5 DCC modules as DCC RPG conversions for my current campaign.

    How Old Were You When You Played Your First TTRPG?

    I was in the 6th grade so between 11-12 when I ran my first game. I didn't partake as a player until 3-4 years later since I was the only GM for my group back then. Was running from the local libraries RPG books which I had or more or less permanent check out until I was able to acquire my own...

    D&D 5E (2024) Are you going to buy the new 2024 D&D Core Books

    That's a no from me. WOTCs recent books and attitude/behavior this year have put me off them moving forward. I do have A5E and TotV if I want to scratch the 5e style itch in the future but my group has migrated to DCC and other games for the foreseeable future.

    Beat Em Up flavor in a TTRPG

    Was not expecting to see a shout out to the Street Fighter RPG today. Still have all my books for that one as well as fond memories of running it in the past. It does make a pretty decent system for this type of beat em up inspired game.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you want to see in Monster Manual Expanded IV?

    As an owner of all three volumes of MME and a patron I'm very interested to see how things go forward. Personally I'm no longer running D&D 5e due to all the issues with WOTC and have no interest in 1D&D/5.5/6e either as a result. That said, I still plan to continue picking up your monster books...

    D&D 5E (2014) Please suggest me some books about DM advices

    Here are my personal suggestions from my collection. The Practical Guide to Becoming a Great GM by Guy Schlanders, which I see others have also suggested. Tracy & Curtis Hickman's XDM X-treme Dungeon Mastery How to Write Adventure Modules That Don't Suck from Goodman Games Be Awesome at...

    Now that this is over (for now at least) What are you going to do?

    Glad this whole debacle is ending. Still find it hard to be enthusiastic about anything to do with WOTC after everything but I'll continue to pick up older pre 3.0 edition material on DMs Guild from time to time. I've been moving away from running 5e for a while now but if Wizards start...

    OGL v1.2 Survey Feedback: 'Hasn't Hit The Mark'

    I strongly disagree with this take. Paizo shouldn't have to give up their opportunity to make a video game, movie, or series for Pathfinder just because WOTC decided to try and go back on their word. Same if say Kobold Press wanted to do the same with Midgard. It's not like it's a theoretical...

    D&D Movie/TV There's A New Trailer For D&D: Honor Among Thieves

    Was going to boycott anyways unless OGL 1.0a is preserved but the trailer didn't do anything for me anyways.
