I have that game, too, and read through it again just a few weeks ago while watching Red Dawn (the original, of course) and thinking about running a short story arc for my group. I don't know if it'll happen, but it's certainly a nostalgia throwback...to a better decade.

The article didn't so much create bias against Fannon - it presented a conviction already decided. The allegations may be entirely true and the perspective put forth in the article could be accurate. Or they could be false and the conclusions, therefore, wrong. Or it could be something in...

Accusations. Allegations. All someone needs to do is make the right accusation, and the court of public opinion screams "guilty!" and punishment is handed down. What a clean and efficient form of 'justice.' Think on that.

I was introduced to 2d20 through Star Trek Adventures first, having read it from the playtest materials. I didn't like it then, and found the explanation of them in those packets to be confusing. Before buying the game I wanted to try out the system and played Conan at Free RPG Day last year...

...another plug for the game: the many sourcebooks that are coming out now are well-made, physically, full of beautiful art, and are not expensive (about $25 each). Additionally, you can get a sense of the system, and the variety of character options, with this great, free online character...

Great presentation of the setting and story, and great system. There are some good reviews of it on this site (I'd like to think the one I wrote is good, too, but it's there). Yes, it's crunchier than 5e, but not as fiddly as PF, I think. 2d20 has more moving parts, but none of them are...

TrU: Sad. I remember toystores when I was a kid - they were wonderlands where you could browse, dream, and discover. Shopping online is not the same.

As a GM who swore off PF when 5e came out - actually, I'd dumped the system before that - because of how crunchy it had gotten and how much rules-creep had taken place (and has continued at what seems like a quickened pace since), I must admit that all these changes are really intriguing and I...

Given PF's penchant for detail, I can only assume that there will be a long list of actions, and descriptors that help players and GMs determine what would constitute a single action versus something that'd take longer, like a typical spell. Coriolis, from Modiphius/Free League, has a similar...

PF, especially in the 5e era, attracts a certain kind of gamer, in search of a certain vibe and flow at the table - and quite different from 5e, although they both share the same long-term roots. I don't see it being 5eFinder at all, either.

I played four whole sessions of 2e, and didn't really like it. I'd played the heck out of 1e, and when 3e came out I was excited, and very happy with it. I thought the revisions to 3.5 were excellent, and our group enjoyed several years of really great play, mostly in Eberron. I did start to...

Cool. She seems sharp and interesting, if the video is any indication - her idea about character type choice makes a lot of sense.

Odd. I hope that was just an oversight in the copy on their site. It does says "including..." before it lists the names for TNG. Perhaps that should be taken as "these are examples of those included, but not an exhaustive list."

5 out of 5 rating for Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of I am a recent convert to 2d20, having played and GM'd it with Conan and GM'd a number of times for Star Trek Adventures. The iterations of the system between the two games are different, with the core mechanics and processes the...

Groovy.

John Carter looks interesting, and I am a big fan of the 2d20 system, using it in both Star Trek Adventures and Conan games. I must admit, however, a bit of confusion as to what "planetary romance" is. Any takers? I mean, if you're on a planet, and engaged in some kind of romance, isn't that it...

Goal 1: run a regular Star Trek Adventures game at my FLGS, where they host a monthly RPG day. STA offers an "in play" character generation system that enables the player to build the character into a chosen role. I will run with the same crew, for potentially different players, and always...

Major and many thumbs up for Star Trek Adventures. The more I run it, the more I like it.

Well said! Spot on! This hobby caters to a diverse audience, and it's interesting to see some member of the community turning back to it and, in effect, saying "if you're into these real-world issues, let's put them on the front lines of our story and game." It's clear that there's enough of a...

This could be a really good one. I had a much earlier version of it and (stupid me) sold it. Having them all updated to 5e and bound well in a hardback will be quite nice.
