If you ever get stateside and want to talk gaming and/or American football let me know! I have been coaching football for over 30 years. I have a retiree in my current gaming group and he plays in at least three other groups and DMs in another. I am a little jealous as retirement is a few years...

I have way too many. I need to sell some. I used to be really good about selling anything I had not played in a couple of years. I'm way overdue for a purge. D&D 5e Savage Worlds Call of Cthulhu Traveller Runequest WFRP 1e WFRP 2e WFRP 4e That's what I'm keeping - the rest is going up for sale...

I like the large player base. It's my favorite zero to hero rpg. It's easy to build a long term campaign. Those are the ones specific to D&D - my rpg list of things I like would be much longer.

For me, I don't worry about the plot and story - I can make it work on some level for my players. What I look for are cool npcs that the players will love or hate fun and different encounter set-ups, usually related to combat a big challenge (usually the big villain) that has a twist or is...

Some shots of some of my new Egyptian style dungeon pieces. The action shots did not turn out that well, but I'll try again next Sunday. All made with Hirst Arts molds. I'm working on more for next session. I am hoping to complete a large set of the Egyptian style stuff. Players really...

My players have given me several game aids over the years. I usually give them a token of my appreciation at the end of a long campaign. Last time I gave them a book with every adventure we went through. Dice and miniatures are frequently gifts too. The last campaign of any length I played I...

Still love this thread! I completed a bunch of dungeon terrain - I'll post some action shot from our last adventure soon.

I have a steady group of players who will play whatever I am running. I plan on buying the new stuff and trying it - then my group will decide if we like it better than 5e. I've played D&D almost since the beginning, but I skipped 2E (WFRP instead) and only did one campaign of 4e. I ran a...

I used to take a decent group for granted. I too prefer face-to-face, although I do run a short (2 hours) weekly session online for friends across the country. My face-to-face group in 4 hours every Sunday. I have six fairly steady players and eight total - we almost always have at least five at...

I have used some ideas from Mike Myler's Legendary Adventures. It is available over at his website: Legendary Adventures

Not saying this video does this, (and I am not interested in watching to see if they do), but getting small parts of the history/lore wrong that you know is going to irk fans is a long standing tactic to get better engagement. The hardcore fan can hardly resist commenting to correct the errors...

WFRP 2e also has The Thousand Thrones, which does not hold a candle to The Enemy Within, but qualifies. Runequest has Griffin Mountain - old, but still holds up fairly well IMO.

Great stuff! Good luck - hope you sell lots!

There are certain authors/companies I like and will give them the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, a new publisher better give me a big sample to read. I also like ENWorld's KS Model where it is a preprint order and you get the pdf nearly immediately. I don't fund undeveloped cool ideas.

I have run a lot of high level D&D - particularly in 3rd and 5th edition. Most of my 5e campaigns go to tier 4 (4 out of the last 5). The game changes in fun ways for us - they very much become super heroes. I agree with what has been said to a point - the game in terms of motivations and...

The kids in the D&D club at my high school I teach at use D&D Beyond a lot.

I have players who love to pursue motivations and are delighted when I set the table for their PCs. I have players who would much prefer the story happen to them - they want obvious hooks and paths. The good news for me is generally the latter is happy to follow the former and help them out.

Tying skill checks to other attributes based on the situation.

Your group runs a very different game than mine, and that's great. However, I think this advice is universal: Don't be afraid to ask for time. If after your pitch is accepted and session zero you need more time than the next regular scheduled session to begin - ask your fellow players for more...

No, but that is an interesting idea.
