I understand what you're saying, but in my experience an overwhelming amount of responsibility for having fun falls on the GM. If the players don't show up and play well, then no GM prep helps. But I buy the RPGs, schedule the game, write the adventures, run the game, update the campaign, and...

Running a table top RPG could be seen as: get and learn a rulebook, find players, make characters, write an adventure, run the adventure, and repeat the last two over and over. The challenge a GM is going to face is that all of those important steps are tactics. Well-executed tactics lead to...

Yes. Loke calls it a 360 degree spine but it is a spiral binding. If you have two battle map books you could connect in the middle outer edges and keep the spirals at opposite edges. Call them hedge rows or weird rocks or something. Maybe a PC can touch one to call on mystical energies and gain...

And it's also on me as the writer. I rarely make typos like this one, and I'll try to continue to keep the count very low going forward.

New rules for Old-School Essentials, a new adventure for Castles & Crusades, and maps and miniatures for Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition and OSR RPGs. Adventures are also available for Traveller and Candela Obscura. Adventures and monsters arrive for Soulbound and Wrath & Glory. Finally, there...

Just to be clear, because the quote function makes it sound like it came from me, that is Kelsey Dionne quoting directly from her work. I'm sure everyone knew that but clear credit where credit is due! And I agree with @Nightfly, it is good stuff.

Journey to Ragnarok get support in a series of adventures using Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition and dice and cards arrive for Old-School Essentials The Painted Wastelands. A cozy fantasy RPG drops along with an adventure book and crafts. Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and Mutant Crawl Classics RPG...

Shadowdark RPG: The Western Reaches, currently on Kickstarter, takes the d20 wonder of Shadowdark into a two-volume setting supporting hex crawl adventures and exploration. Kelsey Dionne of The Arcane Library was kind enough to talk to EN World and me again about her latest million dollar (plus)...

Glad to hear it. I've always liked GG adventures. Of course, Goodman Games is not the first RPG company to have editing glitches!

It is good, but as other posters noted buyer beware on some editing challenges. Plenty of third party support as well. I have some 5E Goodman Games stuff but it is about ten years old. Don't have the new stuff.

Good details on the editing for these Tomes. That is unfortunate that the books haven't been more edited to be a solid finalized version with at least the page numbers updated. Thanks for the FYIs, as I haven't bought these books so wouldn't know these details.

So much Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Edition this week. Dozens of adventures, roaming exploration across the Purple Planet, and PCs experiencing an awakening robot consciousness. There is also a monster book and GM screens. Finally, adventures and historical Jerusalem...

RPG Spotlight shines a light on the latest RPG releases to help GMs decide if the book will improve and enhance their campaigns. First up is the just released, Crown and Skull Volume II by Runehammer. This RPG covers dragons in depth as well as providing an excellent example of mixing sci-fi and...

This week war comes to Traveller. There are fantasy villages and Wonderland as a setting along with additional fantasy adventures and rule extras including ships. Power Rangers RPG and Transformers RPG both get supplements. Finally, there is a dice set including a stack of d6s that form a...

Some versions of Dunwich have CoC d20 stats included along with the Call of Cthulhu stats. CoC d20 uses a version of D&D 3.5 which converts easily to most editions (4E is a bit more work). You have AC, hit points, saves, and attacks with damage which work basically the same in nearly every D&D...

I'm using Amazing Adventures for the same reason. Just adding in D20 CoC to that rule set.

Glad to hear Innsmouth is on the way. I'd love to see a year of Lovecraft Country. Maybe a new settlement every other month or once a quarter with maybe a lightly connected series of adventures in each one. And maybe with a great solo adventure, a walking tour perhaps from Arkham to Kingsport...

I don't know the sanity system from UA. The sanity optional rules from the 2014 Dungeon Master's Guide are really simple and could work if you have a list of what causes a save. You'd get rid of the need for every monster to have sanity point loss and you could slowly unveil the list to the PCs...

I hope so. But it took years for just Arkham to appear. And the d20 stats are handy to have.

You'll have hits points, ascending AC, and damage for monsters and items. I have no problem adapting it to Amazing Adventures (which is d20 based as well).
