First thought: he looks like Howie Mandell in that picture. And the module sounds cool, too.

I loved Star Frontiers. It was my first non-DnD RPG, and took over completely from DnD for me for years. I had both boxed sets and most of the adventures and played it to death. I'd love to see a reimagining of it, with more background (and background that made sense, frankly), and updated...

Overly complicated games are such a downer.

Probably 7th Sea (which keeps on giving in the form of PDFs of every new book they're putting out). Next in line would be the Dracula Dossier, which produced some really fine books and a heap of add'l PDF materials. I appreciated both not only for the quality of the products but also the...

So true! We've got several, too, and references from past sessions. A few of the players in my current group are long-time friends and gaming buddies, to the tune of 17+ years of mostly ongoing gaming groups. We've got a lot of history from which to pull.

Yellowbeard. "Nail that man's foot to the deck!"

...and to be clear, I'm not sitting here listening to My Chemical Romance, getting all shades of emo. The post just made me realize how little most people take the small amount of time needed to be appreciative. We move about our lives and do our thing, and many of us just aren't very...

This is a good question, and one that makes me think, and also (if I'm to be transparent) a little sad. I rarely play games as a player. I have, for decades, almost exclusively been the GM. It's a job I enjoy, and would rather perform over the long term than playing. When I do play, I make sure...

Morrus just put a spotlight on all that's wrong with social media. I am with you completely - whether it's gaming, sports, politics, movies...whatever. People are nasty, judgmental, and they pick at any nit they can find or fabricate. I will, instead, focus on the good, the interesting, and the...

At this point, 5e, however in the past - the distant past - it was Vampire: the Masquerade. We had a great group, played a 5-hour session every week, and the game just took off and ran itself. I think any time a group gets in that groove it's going to be easy to run, but that greta place is...

I have a few friends who are SW ninjas...I'll ask them for an answer to this problem and will respond again later.

(Clears voice before knocking tankard of ale on heavy wooden table to draw attention) "That's the proper sentiment! @AngusA does fine work! Three cheers for the updates none of us have time to find ourselves!" (and with that he slaps the table several times while downing the aforementioned ale)

Maybe it's new to UK stores? That itself seems odd since Pelgrane is a UK company (right?). I backed the Kickstarter in 2014 and received that book and some others in 2015, and no later than early 2016 those same books appeared on my FLGS' shelves. I ran it for a few months well over a year ago...

Odd...the Director's Handbook for the Dracula Dossier has been in print and in stores for over a year.

eBay and Amazon for me. My local used bookstores used to have decent RPG sections but they've thinned out tremendously over the years. Noble Knight has a good selection, but I think their prices are too high - especially if you're okay with being patient and shopping around on eBay or Amazon...

That doesn't surprise me about TOR. I've not read it; however, I have the two rulebooks for the 5e adaptation of Middle Earth from them, and they're both very well done.

I'll have to go back in time for this. First, for establishing and maintaining a genre-specific vibe, I have to go with the 2e rulebook for Vampire: the Masquerade. That book was almost all fluff/story, and did a fine job of conveying the mood, feel, and story conceits of that world. My second...

Dungeons and Dragons, first through ADnD, then 3x for a long while, a frustrating side trip into 4e, and now happily settled in 5e. I played 2e for a total of four sessions, if memory serves me. ADnD was my first RPG, but when I look back on those early years I realize that I played a lot of...

I think it might be WEG's "The Price of Freedom." I loved the movie Red Dawn as a kid, and have had the game for years, but have never played it.

I have original copies of both! Great old game; beautifil books, too.
