Looking forward to this one as well! :)

The solution is very simple: if you feel that this is an issue that spoils the fun at your table and you still want to follow the adventure modules as they are written (rightfully, because you paid for them to be playable as they are and not just an inspiration that you are forced to adapt)...

Possibly because at the time FR "killed" all other settings, so if you were a fan of, let's say, Mystara, rather than migrating to FR at the time you moved to homebrew stuff. I'm sure TSR kept this in mind as well when they made their decision. Not sure about the reason why FR has relatively...

4 out of 5 rating for Cypher System Rulebook This is just another Monte Cook idea, providing a quick and versatile rulebook (with lot of similarities with Numenera and The Strange, so if you already own one of them probably this rulebook isn't so necessary to you). This is great for involving...

2 out of 5 rating for Eyes of the Stone Thief The challenge of this book is how to write (again) about dungeons from a fresh and novel point of view. I appreciate a lot the courage of the authors that decided to face this very interesting self-challenge, but I think they didn't succeed. At the...

3 out of 5 rating for Tales from the Yawning Portal The adventures in this book are old time classics, but they also had some well known flaws in their design and this was the perfect opportunity to "fix" them. They were "just" converted to 5th edition. This way the "old" players already have...

5 out of 5 rating for The Bridges we Burn - a Numenera Adventure This is by far the best self published Numenera campaign I ever came across and it is better of many official ones. The basic plot is based on classic tropes (kidnap of a noble lady, devious religions, attack of an apparently...

Advanced Fighting Fantasy Stellar Adventures Alternity Savage Worlds (Numenera next)

5 out of 5 rating for A Breath of Fresh Air This one-off adventure is easy to port in about any sci-fi world (or even fantasy-sci-fi world), but its feel is perfect for the Ninth World. It is an underground story linked to a lost civilization, a huge, ancient juggernout used for a task not...

OK, first of all I often told the players (half laughing, half serious), before they start playing with me, that I am a bastart game master that enjoys killing characters and that they should expect frequent TPKs if they do the worng actions. I believe / think / hope that all game masters do...

Of course the preference (for long campaigns, short campaigns, one-off adventure or chain of one-off adventures that may or may not turn into a campaign, or even long campaign with intervals made of special, unrelated one-off adventures with completely unrelated themes and settings) changes with...

Absolutely agree!!!

Change the question to: "Are more important for you experienced players coming from long roleplay gaming experiences with multiple systems or absolute beginners? Which kind of player do you have more in mind when you design your games?" Then you will have perhaps a more purposeful answer.

I can understand this point of view: there are simple and quick RPG systems that work pefectly well and that allow you to start playing purposefully in five minutes (lieterally). They would be perfect to involve new players and new game masters, but reality is that there is more money to make in...

Absolutely yes! The magnificent world of Mystara wouldn't be the same without all that fan-productions! They are all very welcome!!!

4 out of 5 rating for ZEITGEIST: The Gears of Revolution - Act One: The Investigation Begins This campaign is absolutely fantastic and a real breakthrough. It mixes some elements from the very early OD&D (Dave Arneson awarding level ups at the end of each adventure or adventures cycle, rather...

I love 2d6 systems as well, as you can really start playing in five minutes and lately I don't have much free time for passing an evening just to create a character. During last few years I've been mostly playing Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2 and you can find the free quickstart game here...

They will never do it, but I'd love to see Blackmoor + Mystara officially back.

Stellar Adventures by Arion Games

4 out of 5 rating for Homeward Bound - simple rules for player-owned base This nice piece of work is formally related to the Forgotten Realms, but it is pretty easy to use with a bit any ruleset and with any setting leaning to fantasy or steampunk. Its best point is its adaptability: you can...
