"This campaign isn't Burger King. You don't get it your way, right away. You take it my way or you don't get the mf'er" :geek:

This reminds me of a GM I played with many decades ago. He was part of the friend group, which is probably why people humored him as long as they did in games. First, he was the GM type who should just sit and write the Great American Novel, for all the railroading he wants to do. Even down...

Right here feels like a reason games grind to halts. It's okay to have that gaming style, but not every player wants to play this way. You are not opposition. You are the world. I agree a problem is players who don't take notes or want to just coast, but by the same time, I have been at...

I'm a big fan of beginner boxes if they're done well. My most recent 'beginner campaign' was the Fall of Tinath for Traveller. It did a really good job of, section by section, adding new systems to learn. We explored ziggarauts, we fought battles, we were forced to go on a PR campaign as the...

I think we may have come close to seeing this once in C2 :geek:

I wonder what timeline Free League will use. I know it's probably standard to expect it to start a D-Day/American intervention timeline, but I suspect the timeline will be backed up to May 1940 with the invasion of France. Partly, since Free League is Swedish, Europe probably has a bit of a...

I think poison damage and Poisoned could use a name change. I think the mistake may come if a player or DM doesn't understand that just because someone takes poison damage, it doesn't nessecarily mean that they get the Poisoned condition.

This reminds me of the summer some friends and I spent - every night - playing the original Civilization game. I can't remember if Avalon Hill made it - it was faded and ancient when we played this, say in '95. Beer every night, trying to beat the game. There was no way to win by military -...

I went back to get a nice picture of the breakfast tacos, and discovered they also have buttermilk fried lobter tail for breakfast.

I'm a heathen. Just the other day, at Cracker Barrel having breakfast for dinner. Pancakes, fried eggs, bacon. Every single thing gets maple syrup. Always. A godless heathen, like my father before me.

Breakfast tacos from the Atlanta Breakfast Co. Scrambled eggs and bacon in a 'taco' - the taco being a tortilla dipped in cinnamon French toast batter and then fried

I would give the forest defenders the ability to ignore natural difficult terrain. I would also make the invaders PRIORITIZE destroying said terrain during their invasion.

Looks beautiful. Good luck!

Cons can introduce you to whole new kinds of games and gaming. I haven't been to Gencon since it left Milwaukee, but I have fond memories of everyone and their brother seeming to want to hock some new system or book and being super stoked about it. Let alone some of the strange games you can...

I think often with one-shots, the GM is also new to the game. I think we all forget how it was to DM D&D when we first started playing. Maybe another option, if your group is agreeable, is to run a two- or three-episode miniseries. It may take a session or two to really find some of the cool...

Not surprising when you assume the lawyers have to get billable hours. The article I read about this said/implied that these lawyers who work in trademarks sit around and try to drum up the craziest thing they can trademark.

This reminded me of the mechanics of Legendary Lives. It's a little like the Marvel FASERIP charts, but... the interesting mechanic I thought was that ONLY players ever roll dice. Players roll to attack. Players roll to defend themselves. https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/classic/rev_2360.phtml

You are one-hundred percent correct and I'm glad you clarified my comments. I wonder why the selective attempt at enforcement. As was said, I'd never heard of the game Renegade City. Guessing by the font, my guess is it's an attempt to make a GTA roleplaying game, essentially.

I get that any trademark holder needs to step up and defend their TM or else it sets a precedent and you lose it, but these cases really are... nuts to me. And the timing - to wait until the company's Kickstarter is hours from finishing? (Again, we don't know that that's the first time Renegade...
