I'm a huge fan of Primeval Thule by Sasquatch Games. Sadly, it's already fallen to obscurity years ago.

First public playtest: TPK. Oops! (For a DCC module I will run at Gen Con and eventually publish)

Nobody can really leverage them to their full extent, because they're unstoppable if you do. In fact, that's part of the established history of the illithids - their patience comes partially from the fact that they know their empire and domination is inevitable. Any setbacks are just minor...

The 2e Illithiad has an Illithid Technology chapter, which includes both dampsuits and glaregoggles. Don't worry. They thought of it.

The putting-out-suns thing originated as the endgame plot of the illithid Monstrous Arcana modules in 2e, IIRC.

I remember the original Marvel Super Heroes game being a hot mess but lots of fun. And the original Castle Falkenstein was a great idea but we could never get the rules to work. Og - the caveman roleplaying game - was also really fun, though the 20 (or whatever) word vocabulary was so rough to...

Hot damn I miss Earthdawn sometimes.

Hey! HoL wasn't bad, just unplayable.

Demon's dead, now PC's queen.

The best TTRPG in the world is Dungeon Crawl Classics, bar none. It's lightweight and supremely adaptable, so it's easy to do whatever you need with it. Note that rules-light is a bit of a misnomer here, since the spells section takes up like a full third of the rulebook, but that's because...

Nobody showed up. Road trip!

I think the most obvious way to support any creator is to purchase their products. If they have merch, you can purchase that, too, and often the non-game merch has a higher profit margin, too! But past that, actually playing their game and using their material is key. Especially if you can do...

I've run D&D games for decades with 2 or 3 PCs. No sidekicks, no hirelings, just the party members. It requires a little more out of the box thinking that people like to pretend D&D allows, but it's not any kind of a problem. I also run DCC games with only 2 or 3 PCs (and will be doing so...

My now-8yo and I have been playing at our FLGS almost every Sunday for about three years now. About six months ago we added another player. As of a couple of months ago we have two more players - 8yo's school friend and said friend 's dad. Sunday when the store opens has been our time for all...

Armor found; is it enough?

I'm interested. As I disagree with many of Kickstarter's recent decisions/revelations, I'd be happy to move on to another platform. But given the frequency with which sites are hacked and personal information stolen, I'm always very hesitant to sign up for new services/websites. Of course...

Sure. And it's about time. I'm glad they came around on that, after 40 odd years. I haven't used/allowed racial bility modifiers in my games since 2005 or so. My logic is, if a race is "known" for a thing (like elves being good with magic), a player can lean into that idea or not as they see...

Gongfarmer launched from catapult; survived!

In 5e, we use the default array but then I give each player 3 points to put wherever they want. This method REPLACES racial ability score modifiers, which we do not use.

I don't mind bad reviews. What gets me is anonymous bad ratings, which provide no useful information and no meaningful way of response. If enough people dislike the way I formatted a product or the way I wrote it, or even what I wrote, I can adapt. Anonymous one or two star ratings are just...
