    What's To Find In The Finders Keepers Adventure?

    I'm curious David, how many players did you run it with? And which classes did they select?

    What's To Find In The Finders Keepers Adventure?

    It was added later, after I sent the publisher an advanced copy of the review. As far as I'm aware the product itself wasn't changed. Probably needless to say, but I think if you have either a decent amount of experience running high level games, or as a DM are willing to taper things a bit...

    What's To Find In The Finders Keepers Adventure?

    Nearly two years have passed since the partnership between Wizards of the Coast and OneBookShelf entered into the "partnership" that lead to the creation of the Dungeon Masters Guild (DMG) website. With release of the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition System Reference Document (SRD) and the DMG...

    Adventure In Time And Space With The Daytrippers RPG

    If you ever wanted to game master a RPG which would allow the player characters to travel through time and navigate the multiverse; where do you imagine such a game, might take your player group? DayTrippers asks this in a big (Scott Bakula, "Oh, boy!?") gonzo inspired way, blending dream...

    Everybody Loves Lovecraft?

    I've never really delved too deeply into any of the Lovecraft inspired RPGs... When i was younger I'd buy them, read them over; get a couple of awesome (often evil ideas) and put them down. One time (though the story is actually outside the mythos) I ran an investigative scenario based on "The...

    Fight The Future With The Synthicide Role-Playing Game

    Honestly, you're funny. I accept your apology. Next time, do yourself a favor and don't. That's my last comment here. If you want to use this space as your personal diary, have at it.

    Fight The Future With The Synthicide Role-Playing Game

    Beside a couple of noted grammar errors (which are on me... see what I did here?), your complaint is the use of parenthesis and fragmented sentences? lol I write to a word count... So if I have to sacrifice some precious grammar in order to style in as much detail about the RPG I'm reviewing...

    Fight The Future With The Synthicide Role-Playing Game

    How did I miss this? (apologies) Just because the author of the post may have intended to be ironic, this doesn't change the fact that the method was disrespectful (my opinion). I'm pretty certain there was a better way to go about it. Remove the sarcasm. But, ah it's the internet. Opinions...

    Look Back In Strangeness: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness Game

    Oh boy, TMNT! Let me go put some peanut butter on my pepperoni pizza and come back... (reference to that cheesy cartoon) We played Palladium Fantasy as a one shot (from D&D Basic) then it was onto TMNT. Agree, character creation is a blast. Later we would mesh this and Ninjas & Superspies...

    Fight The Future With The Synthicide Role-Playing Game

    There was a number of things about this game I really liked. Mechanics and character creation are very simple; while the GM sections do a really good job of engaging the GM with a variety of ways to run the game. For being relative unknown indie publisher, this one surprised me. I haven't...

    No... None of it is plagiarized. Thanks, for asking.

    Fight The Future With The Synthicide Role-Playing Game

    Give me a dystopian future peppered with 80s analogies and Easter eggs, like Earnest Cline’s Ready Player One, or give me the dark and beautiful gloom of George Orwell’s, 1984. What can I say? Give me hope, or give me misery. With the Synthicide RPG from Will To Power Games, you get a...

    Gaming At The Kid's Table With The Pip System

    Hey Egg, I'm curious, with the modified (simpler) system, are players splitting the difference between the pools? Or perhaps rolling less dice and just tallying results such as: 1-3 as unsuccessful; 4-6 as a success? I haven't had the time to give Eloy's pip system a look, but I did like the...

    What's Out There For Halloween Gaming?

    We did a one shot the year before last, right before Halloween with TROPES Zombie Edition, a game I reviewed for KoDT. And because we had some knuckle head (non-gamers) in the group, was one of my favorite sessions of TPK. I had planned to run a truncated version of Feed (another game I...

    How Many Hacks Of The Black Hack Can Be Hacked? Looking At The Indie Hack

    That's what I like about you Venger... And I think, what we have in common. Try new things, and reserve judgment (if needed) until after the new thing has concluded... ;)

    How Many Hacks Of The Black Hack Can Be Hacked? Looking At The Indie Hack

    I could see that... But, as is, with The Indie Hack it's pretty simple... Or, not any more Tedious then tracking hit points or GPs. You're point as far as immersion goes is somewhat variable to the group your playing with. Personally, (which I don't have, with either group I play with) my...
