    Best Fantasy City Supplement For Sandbox Play

    InkWell Ideas also may have "deck" to help out with a city. As far as Cities, I liked Bluffside and WFRP Middenheim but you can use real world cities, a hack to get some craziness is to use two or three city maps and lay them one on top of the other.

    Best Fantasy City Supplement For Sandbox Play

    IF you can find it AEG's Toolbox, it is a book of tables, lots and lots of random tables. Things you will find inside, Urban Diversions, Pick Pocket Yields, Marketplace Goods, Tavern Interiors, Taver Patrons, Encounters and so much more. It is a wonderful and helpful book to help a GM to add...

    What is "Prep"?

    It is a lot of things. Read material and highlight information and note items. Look at notes from prior games. Set the Table - pens and dice, index cards/note pads, such items that will be useful during the game. Refreshments within reach, players can bring their own food, but some items (water...

    Still Searching for "That" System

    I don't think there is one single game or a game we can provide that will satisfy your needs, you are going to have to go with best fit and house rules. Mine is Zweihander with the world the The Witcher video game.

    What have you done for your DM/GM at the end of a campaign?

    As the GM I take my players out to dinner/beer and discuss where the game could improve and what direction they would like to see it going or if we need a break and change the ruleset we are playing.

    How Old Were You When You Played Your First TTRPG?

    17 - My younger brother and his group needed a DM and asked me. It seemed they liked the game I ran and we all had fun.

    This Worries Me a Little...

    It bothers me because it is so little information, I mean they paint themselves "black". It would be better to say they 'wear a mask of a dark beast/demon to instill fear as assassins". So little detail and failure in 'world building'.

    Gen Con Staying in Indianapolis through 2030

    Draw circles around Indy at 100, 300, 500, 700, 1000. Notice how many metro areas are in those circles. Now check how many cities can handle 70000+ people for 4 days. Indy is growing with Gen Con and seems to be very welcoming. Sure, there are a few other cities that could handle Gen Con but...

    Your Go To Tropes

    Nobles are behind every plot. The players may never make it that far but some noble wants something. Plots are taken from westerns. Land grabs, stagecoach robbers, suppling weapons to enemies, illegal mining/logging, spying, etc.

    GenCon 2023!

    Ravenbuger's Disney card game Lorcana seems to be the HOT item this year at least in the long line and craziness. So bad Thursday that they started the line last night at 5:30PM for today 10AM. No place holding and security watching the line.

    GenCon 2023!

    The record was 70000 in 2019 and they capped in 2017 and 2018 at 60000 but with expansion and new hotels they have been raising the number because of demand. See Gen Con Wiki.
