So one quandary that has popped up now I am running a campaign is quests/mission-situations having the same or similar hooks i.e. The party not too long ago finished finding someone who had gone missing (they were kidnapped), and in near the future, there is a faction that would like them to...

Superman is inherently Other; we often read about past stuff and think oh, had I been there I'd never do that, when the actual truth is, the majority of folks did. >.> People do this all on their own. I can see Luthor knowing this and placing a finger on the scale just a little.

It's a well cut trailer, and what a breath of fresh air! It communicates what I hope will be the tone and themes of the film. It's needed. I worry mildly about the introduction of so many other heroes because of a technical need to set up a franchise, but I feel based on what little is shown...

Def. agree on last, I feel there's a lot of different ways games parse combat now that alleviates everyone else having to wait while it is X player's turn. I've assigned some of above for players to do; they sometimes don't do them very well! (In fairness, they're in the process of learning.) >.>

Coming back to this thread after thinking some on what others' have mentioned... Trying a different lens, most games tend to have this break between combat & the other parts of the game. I'll use D&D as the framework. Once combat starts, play becomes more procedural, time in game becomes more...

The campaign I am presently running is continuous, but my prep for it has been episodic i.e. I have been converting or dropping in a plug-and-play one shot or a shorter adventure. My hope is that with the broadening of the party's agency (i.e. they're in a place now where they've more ability...

If you end up not selling but still wish to prune, consider donating unneeded volumes to your closest public library. Nearly all public libraries have a section devoted to role playing games these days, and librarians are more aware of their existence. Just the other day I found a copy of Andrew...

Glorfindel (and innumerable variations of that name) incoming!

I've read a majority of the discussion as to how this is presented in the Greyhawk setting canonically in terms of particular individuals or factions who act. I also read most of this hypothetical thread as well. Can someone point me to which points were made to support above is a valid...

I should consider using poker chips perhaps in the future. A lot of just great suggestions below, thank you for taking the time to compose all that!

Are the poker chips that have been mentioned more than once used in place of minatures?

Regarding these questions, I'd be interested in hearing from those who can share what they've constructively done when: Running a game at a con Running school club games Running one-shots Running time-limited sessions (e.g. at most ~2-2.5 hours) to keep things exciting, keep players engaged...

As an aside, I'm immensely grateful most fantasy rpg games/settings thankfully leave sepsis out of their game. Absent cool magic or amazing herbs, we'd all have more characters perishing left and right because of an accidental nick they neglected to treat. (Bathrooms as well, one of my players...

Yet, when I have gone back to read LotR again, I don't find myself saying ah, plot armor, followed by throwing my hands up in the air and hurling it at the television, where Legolas happens to be busy fighting Bolg in Battle of the Five Armies, doing you know... well... One can argue that...

Roughly: Rediscovered D&D 5E (2014) Discovered A5E, using rules in it for 5E (2014) Reading about OSR (NSR) style/principles Gradually introducing OSR (NSR) intentions to 5E I'm currently running a duo-Vaesen game as well.

Reading through a few of the experiences ppl have been generous enough to share as it relates to gaming, it got me thinking as to what aspects of a book or a pdf would encourage me to delve through, or purchase. At least at this moment, in no order: Good writing: Evocative, not overly long...

I'd have to check to confirm, but I believe he did in fact, not ask for help, and was separated from his companions when he sank through the hell lava etc. into a cavern below. When you show this panel to most kids and have them read Thor's internal thinking, they laugh quite immediately and...

You mean this Thor?

I've not played in or run a game where characters run into a deity and directly engaged them; I suppose tables have had that play out in terms of whether or not they're successful in defeating, or at least banishing, foiling, etc. said deity. My younger experience I recall with Deities &...
