    Starfinder Galaxy Exploration Manual Review

    I am more of the feeling it is a called shot, look to the beams from off the page, doing some damage but her weapon not so much. She is clearly going for a less armored area. :) Personal, I would have aimed at the yellow circle but hey, they have grenades, which so promise. Or this is how...

    Gamemastering advice on preparing adventures for Sword & Sorcery campaigns

    Let's Talk About RPG Worldbuilding

    For me I start with a map of the general area, roughly 500 miles in each direction. Then knowledge the players will have, what is in each direction. Then I define what is evil in the game world and build up a world myth. Start to provide more details on the place the characters are from...

    Do the gameworld maps look like distortions of earth?

    In creating fantasy maps, a quick trick that was promoted, back in the day, was just rise or lower or both, the sea levels on a current map. Another was just to turn the map upside down or flip the landmasses. Think this was taken to heart by many GMs.

    Why System Matters for Roleplaying

    I am of the option it comes down to how the player relates to their character. System helps but it is how the player plays within the system.

    The problem with Evil races is not what you think

    As I have said; define what is EVIL in your game. Cold-blooded murder, mind control (including slavery), worship of certain gods, cannibalisms, kicking puppies, races that do a number of things on the list and so on...

    How often do you enforce laws in your games?

    Mostly it is a plot/story point in my games as there are SO many types. I have city/town, country, religious and guild laws, which overall is just too much for the players, they just know the basics; don't murder (without reasons) and don't get in trouble and don't get caught.
