Into the Motherland - No official date but last update says out next year. Pendragon 6E - It wouldn't be a most anticipated list without Pendragon 6E.

The much delayed Into the Motherland is supposedly due out next year (originally for Sept 22), be interesting to see how it turns out after they decided not to use the Cortex system and go their own way, lost their publisher, then Green Ronin stepped in. Still as of October this year (last...

Christmas layoffs seem a common thing in the US, I guess it is something to do with the tax year rather than just to be spiteful.

At that point I would say the discourse has gone beyond civil, but normally (at least on this site) you shouldn't need to block as the moderators do a pretty good job of keeping things civil here, and most of the community follow "Granma's rules" anyway. I don't think it is usually a question...

Only people on my ignore lists are the occasion spammers that get through. So I don't really think to much about it. I've ended up on some peoples list, and they have enabled that feature, then oddly continued to respond to stuff I've said, so it looks like they "win". If someone is being civil...

I will say I find the more the game moves from Theatre of the Mind, to sketch on a battlemat, to Dwarven Forge 3D scenery, the less likely the players are to embellish details. You describe a room as say "a 15ft by 20ft kitchen", if it is just Theatre of the Mind, they might jump up on the...

I'm with you. I did initially like full series drops, but if there is a community watching it, then weekly spreads out the enjoyment of the shared experience. With a full series drop, I can't necessarily speak with people that are also watching it as they might not be at the same point as me...

I liked the series as a whole, I liked how it was filmed and the different characters in it, the issues it covered and the conclusion on the whole however I didn't like... I really liked the creepy "Know that you are loved." (and how that originated) catch phrase and will probably integrate...

It really isn't easier to do all that design work, maybe a little easier for the players, but usually it will be a lot more work to make a hack than use an existing system, and often you end up stuck with a lot of the tropes of D&D which don't suit all genres. Not sure it is that large a...

Yeah the time burden is definitely there for whoever runs the game, but like you I can't understand players making that excuse.

From experience, I've not come across a game I can't teach people enough to play a session with a pregenerated character in less than 30 minutes. The majority of complexity in most system comes from character design and the making the choice of what abilities they get. Some games you can even...

Judge Dredd RPG: Have fun, paying a cog in a fascist state.

Translating my quick Pendragon Campaign notes into an epic saga. Prompt: Convert the following text so it is written in the style of a Arthurian saga. Perin, Dervil and Derfan are squires and are put through their paces by Sir Elad before being given a mission to visit the village of Imber...

Shadowrun: Some how each edition gets progressively worse more complex.

Star Trek: If you follow the Prime Directive, you're doing it wrong. Star Trek: You'll never get to bang as many aliens as Kirk.

Champions: Learning Excel has never been so much fun.

One D&D: What happens when you try and please ALL of the people ALL of the time.

I believe in the films are referenced in one episode of the new Doctor Who. So they are part of the continuity in a way.

It was really being for Children in Need.
