Speaking from my personal experience, whereas it took almost the entire run of 3rd/3.5 D&D before I saw the flaws that made me realize I never wanted to play with that particular ruleset again, with 4th Edition I had concerns going in and within a year of launch both my groups had moved out of...

I have two gaming groups that meet weekly on a regular basis. One of them is currently playing Dungeon Crawl Classics, going through a series of DCC modules I've loosely linked together. I'm the DM. The other group just wrapped up a playthrough of Betrayal Legacy and has now made up characters...

People found Trudvang disappointing? I haven't gotten to actually play the system yet but I was quite satisfied with the final product and happily pledged for the second kickstarter. Of this years crop I'm only particularly interested in The Princess of Mars/John Carter system which I...

I was in the 6th grade when I first discovered roleplaying. So around 11 or 12 depending on what month it was. I began my gaming career by GMing right out the gate. I had discovered a trove of RPG books at the local library (a little D&D and a bunch of TMNT & Other Strangeness books). I...

Thanks for the all feedback so far everyone! So the two books in particular I was looking at getting in addition to the corebook are the Mansions Of Madness & the 1920s Investigator's Companion as I've heard that the first has some good 1-2 session adventures in it and the second is a handy...

On a recent shopping excursion I was fortunate enough to find a used copy of the Call of Cthulhu corebook in good condition. I've played in several campaigns previously but had never actually bought the book as I'd not been the one running it. I picked it up with an eye towards using it to run...

Was it actually for sale? My understanding was that they were bringing a limited # of copies along for kickstarter backers to pickup if they attended Garycon. I'm a fan of Goodman Games & DCC and a huge fan of the Lankhmar/Newhon series of Fritz Leiber. So of course I'm in for this...

Since I'm planning on running Wrath of Strahd for my gaming group sometime after it comes out I've been thinking about this subject lately as well. I went ahead and picked up some Ravenloft materials off of DriveThruRPG/DMGuild to prep ahead of the module coming out as well. I'm leaning...

Besides being a subscriber to En5ider for some time now, I've also picked up Fifth Edition Foes & the various Quests of Doom volumes for 5th Edition. I kickstarted Skullduggery & Tome of Beasts as well. Since I haven't been interested in any of the official books (Campaign Paths, Sword Coast...

I don't mind using a PDF copy for reading & session preparation but I definitely prefer to have a physical copy when I'm at the table. Luckily there is a physical release of Icons Assembled Edition. It is for sale at this time on Green Ronin's web store.

I really enjoyed the first edition of Icons even though I only got the chance to run it a couple of times. Most of the time my gaming groups default to 2nd Edition Mutants & Masterminds if we're in the mood for donning our capes and fighting crime. After reading about the newly revised version I...

Just pre-ordered. I really enjoyed what I've read so far of the first Quests of Doom. Looking forward to checking this out.

I know I shouldn't be surprised they're going to set a potential movie in the Realms but I'm still disappointed. Plus add in the fact this is being written by the person responsible for that atrocious Titans movie and I pretty much have no faith in this project from the outset.

Congrats to the 5E team. Well earned all around. Was also excited to see Designers & Dragons win this year. It's such a great book (or series now that it's been split up by decade in the newly expanded release).

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide Well the DMG is out (at least if you live near select stores) and it's a doozy. Every bit as nicely put together as the previous two core rulebooks and even more packed with information. Cover to cover this is one of the finest books...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook Back with a new edition the Player's Handbook for Dungeons & Dragons 5.0 in this reviewers opinion is the finest PHB to come out since Wizards of the Coast took over the line from TSR. From a materials standpoint the sturdy hardcover...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual This may well be the finest Monster Manual released to date for Dungeons & Dragons. As one of the trio of core books for 5th Edition D&D if you're looking to run the new edition you're most likely going to be picking this book anyways but I...

So I'm new here and thought I'd ask what systems, settings, & campaigns people want to play but for whatever reason they haven't gotten around to doing so yet? If you're anything like me you probably have at least one book that you've picked up and enjoyed reading but haven't actually put to...

At seven sessions in (4 DMing for one of my groups and 3 playing with my other group) 5e is my new favorite. Sure there's a bit of the "shiny newness" to it since it just released but it really does capture most of my favorite elements of the previous editions while getting rid of some of my...
