Would be fantastic to attend.

The Darksun west marches book is very good, well worth the download and read.

I'm getting better at not buying what I will probably never play. I have multple versions of games I was very nostalgic for, so a few versions of gamma world, paranoia, tunnels and trolls, and 'fan genres' that I have multiple systems for now e.g. Star wars, Doctor who. I'm attempting to...

Though both my groups started as in person, they have been VTT now for years. One group was hybrid in early stages, but after about six months became purely VTT. I did some digital maps on a screen, but often used maps with 3d terrain. We still arrange in person meet ups, (one group twice a...

More accurately they later came up with a way to sell a product such that JG is unlikely but not improbable to get money from. Other benefits for JG are possible, including attention to their website and possibly selling other works due to their 'prestige' of being picked as an OAR project.

One player missing, we play anyway unless its a vital moment. Otherwise, like so many here, its a board game or something game related otherwise but the important part is that people who do turn up, get to play something. This helps them come back.

So they expect the money (10%) to run out before being able to refund all the backers owed?

I thought that was in relation to exceeding the expected refund amount, not what happens with unclaimed refunds, which I'm guessing is harder to predict, and probably trivial amounts.

I'm ignorant with this type of stuff, but I cant see how the escrow thing wont lead to JG getting some money, Which is acknowledged by the donation to charitable causes by Goodman games if/when so. If they gather the kickstarter data, and determine 15,000 needs to be paid out, and structure...

Some really nice information in this thread. OP, it sounds like you are playing a mix of rules from editions and house rulings (as is tradition for early era D&D). Given that mixture already of rules, its going to be a very game/player dependent decision on what limits to pick from what...

Also put me down as another anecdotal record of successful gaming with players and their SOs. I think @Ruin Explorer nailed it by saying its a problem when forcing someone (anyone) not interested to play.

When very young (around 9 iirc), and playing tunnels and trolls. The character creation with races applies modifiers to strength and could be a multiplier, e.g. ogres might get x 3 rolled strength. The fairy race was intended to be a third of the rolled strength, but the way we interpreted it...

V&V games saw me through many a high school game session - we werent allowed to play proper D&D (thanks satanic panic) but were allowed to play RPGs with superheroes. Didn't realise it was still going to be honest. A rabbit hole to look at tonight :)

You would only get the message in the inbox for breaking reddit rules in example 1, the others dont mention a message of notice. 'Shadow banning' is fairly common on reddit, and by design allows the user/spam bot think they are still posting as normal and can see their own posts, direct links...

Its going to be tough for an uncertain time which is always more stressful than knowing an end date. Sending lots of wishful moral support to you all. May we soon live in boring times please.

As someone who is currently doing THAC0 and associated early edition mechanics with people who have never played it before, you absolute nailed all the issues with some subsystems having a plus or minus modifier could be good or bad. It takes a while to get used to, and the pay off isn't worth...
