    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I just divested myself of...maybe 1/3 of it? I really have too much to where it becomes a problem.

    D&D General Defining "New School" Play (+)

    I think it has to be the right kind of cute, and that just strikes me as advertising to 6 year olds who want to buy Hasbro toys. Upon seeing the kawaii art on the tracker sheets (which by themselves aren't a bad idea to include) I retched. I came into the game around the late-stage of 2e, so I...

    Pathfinder 2E I think I am giving up on PF2ER

    I was the GM running moderate encounters at best - I never ran a hard encounter. Internally I know that the +1s matter, but to the players, they don't feel like they matter. For what it's worth, I was also playing the game face-to-face so it was extra fiddly.

    Pathfinder 2E I think I am giving up on PF2ER

    My group and I played PF2e for about 3 years before we switched to Savage Worlds to finish our campaign. I/we found that it was too complex with things that didn't feel like they mattered - +1s here, +1s there, feats that just give you more +1s. It didn't feel impactful or powerful, and the...

    Interesting - I assume he's leaving Demiplane, then?

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    I read a post a while back about converting Masks of Nyarlathotep to run in WFRP, but unfortunately it looks like their site is down.

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    We played it for about three years, but enjoyed the campaign in spite of the system. We also found that the game is so heavily balanced that they had to play as a "perfect" team in order to succeed, and that was too much pressure on perfect strategy. I've read some things about replacing WFRP...

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    I have Up in Arms and Winds of Magic, and I should be receiving OWB this week. My players and I play in-person and just moved on from Pathfinder 2e due to complexity and clunk and the feeling of always adding so many modifiers. I hope that WFRP 4e isn’t as bad in regards to that and playability...

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    How does WFRP 4e truly compare to 2e? I have books for both but haven’t ever run it, and I’ve been hemming and hawing about which edition to run (and what things need houseruling). Is 4e’a combat amazing and better than 2e, or is it clunky?

    How happy are you with your table/group?

    Yes, unfortunately. Usually it’s little things like who does what chore or what they’re bickering over lately and how on earth that matters to my game I’ll never know or care. They both also can’t get out of their own way to roleplay their characters and instead roleplay themselves with all the...

    How happy are you with your table/group?

    Half good. Two of the members in the group are engaged and bring their relationship spats to the table and I’d kinda like to replace them, but they’re also my wife’s and my friends.

    D&D 5E (2014) How would YOU nerf the wizard? +

    That's the real problem, is that over the editions, most drawbacks have been removed, and only power has been given in return. There used to be penalties to some ability scores for races, but now it's just pluses all the way down.

    Pathfinder 1E Are there compelling reasons to upgrade to PF1 from 3.0?

    I’ve not played PF1e, but my group just moved away from PF2e for that exact reason. TTRPGs are of course a team-based game, but PF2e’s heavy balance around a team functioning perfectly as a team and abilities that just seemed to lack impact and oomph drove us away.
