    D&Detox

    It's not about families, children and work. I believe it's a mind set. Some people just want to cruise along and are happy with what they play. While others see the opportunity to learn a new systems as an invigorating exercise. They derive intellectual pleasure from that. They don't view it a work.

    D&Detox

    That is why quick start rules with pre-gen characters and a short scenario exist. The GM can serve a fully cooked meal. All the player has to do is sit down and try it.

    D&D General What are the "dead settings" of D&D?

    LOL! That is what I did in the 90s. A big mash up of FR, Mystara, Greyhawk, Al-Qadim and Spelljammer influences.

    D&Detox

    My current group is very open minded. We played D&D5e, Coriolis, Modern AGE and CoC 7e so far. There is talk of playing Barbarians of Lumeria and Romance of the Perilous Lands. No problems of adaptation when we change rpgs. I did have a group during 3e that flat refused to play anything not...

    D&D General What are the "dead settings" of D&D?

    Yes Mystara: Red Steel features a dust, vermeil, which grants extraordinary powers to anyone who brews it up and drinks it, but also may cause excruciating physical deformities, and rocks, cinnabryl, which can be formed into jewelry that fends off the side effects of vermeil, and shaped into...

    D&D General What are the "dead settings" of D&D?

    All settings are dead to me. I home-brew only. In the 80s-90s I used to buy a lot of setting boxes, modules and novels for inspiration but I don't do that anymore. The only setting book I bought for 5e was Sword Coast. I've resisted all other temptations so far. I do buy generic 5e books like...

    [Osprey Games] Romance of the Perilous Land

    I'll reserve my comments for next week, after I do a solitaire session with 4 character. Sometimes things I don't like on paper turn out to work better than I thought at the table. ;)

    Free League Announces Twilight: 2000 4th Edition

    Too many good games by Free League. I haven't played enough Coriolis and Forbidden Lands to justify another rpg purchase this year. I'm missing one AGE book and that will be it for 2020. Annual budget busted !!! Hope the fans of the original game like it when it comes out.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e most conservative edition yet? (In terms of new settings)

    I'm not re-writing history. I never said 2E wasn't a great era. I said support was bad for several lines and several splat books were rushed to print with poor quality content just to have something new on the shelves to sell. Buck Rogers anyone? Not everything was glorious during the 2E. That...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e most conservative edition yet? (In terms of new settings)

    The rpg team at WotC is very small. Gone are TSR days with large in-house design teams. I don't care if its in-house or out sourced. Quality and usefulness is what matters. Sales are high so I guess a large portion of customers are happy with what WotC is doing. TSR was prolific but support was...

    D&D 5E (2014) It is OK for a class to be the worst

    My group has a Fighter Cavalier and a Fighter Arcane Archer who are not Fighter Top Tier sub-classes and they deal a lot of damage. I have to watch what I do carefully.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which three topics do you most want to receive official (WotC) treatment?

    1) More creatures, foes and adversaries. I never tire of that. NPCs with unique motivations and story hooks. 2) Domain building, mass combat stuff. But streamlined. I don't need to know how many potatoes are in the castle's larder. 3) A Greyhawk setting book that expands the area around Ghost...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many rounds do most of your combats last?

    4-6 is the average. 7+ for epic fights against BBEB and large number of opponents. 2-3 only for very weak encounters.

    [The Expanse AGE] Abzu's Bounty Adventure

    Abzu's Bounty Adventure arrived this morning. I'm only missing Modern AGE's Enemies & Allies. It is stuck in distributer's warehouses because of C-19. There is also Blue Rose AGE but I've decided not to invest in the line. I used to play a lot of d20 Modern + Urban Arcana + Future +...

    Anybody care for an alternative to World of Darkness?

    Modern AGE does Urban Fantasy very well and it is a toolbox system. A setting less system. For someone who likes D&D it is very easy to get into. I use the Companion Book and the Threefold Setting Book to create my own urban fantasy campaign. The free quick start will give you an idea of the...
