It seems like Russia is everywhere these days. Old Cold War paranoias are resurfacing. Combine that with the 80's aesthetic revival reflected in new games like Tales From The Loop, Unmasked and Sigmata: This Signal Kills Facsists, it looks like it might be time to dust off an old forgotten...

Sketchpad did a great job of answering this, for some reason I see/give XP for it, feel free to do it for me. The best bet if you have all these ideas is to use a framing reference of a time travelling team who are encountering all these alternate timelines and putting them right. The...

It's this knock on effect of history that we really enjoyed getting into. One of the many things we covered involved this. A gorup of golden age war heroes who stopped the war early then decided to try and change things in the world, getting involved in lots of late 40's and early 50's global...

Thanks. Always good to know these things are helping people make decisions. My reply is based only on anecdotal evidence but I've found the opposite to be true. While the appeal of playing the MU or DCU might appeal to some, often players want to affect the world around them and write their...

Many comic book universes have undergone a revamp that updates heroes and clears out any complex continuity. The New 52, Rebirth, All-New All-Different Marvel: the list goes on. Now we see the pre-eminent super-hero game get a similar treatment with Green Ronin's Freedom City 3rd edition for the...

Firstly, love this idea. My picks are Aladdin, Sage Dunban, Morgan Lafey, Fionn MacCumhail, Hipployta, Talos, Saint George, Jesus (if we can get away with it), Horus, Leonidas, Gilgamesh, Perun, Coyote, Pan, and maybe some shakespeare characters like Puck, Caliban, Prospero and the Scottish...

Sorry, I missed this comment on original publication but my inbox clearout caught it. I agree with you that Freedom-verse has always been as you describe but the original intent of this sourcebook (as posted on Green Ronin's website) was to avoid those cliches a little. They went to great...

Chimera in Beeston has not only become a focal point of the RPG and CCG communities in Nottingham, it has been nominated local business of the year several years running and has won that title against 'mainstream' businesses. Before setting up Chimera 12 years ago in Ripley, Derbyshire (it...

With the new Star Wars saga passing its middle chapter and Marvel's Infinity War ready to land in May, it means that a lot of groups might be eyeing the stars as a place to set their games. The Cosmic Handbook has been eagerly awaited by Mutants and Masterminds fans for a while, and is finally...

The player who complains there's no threat and no one dies - change your plans. Kill off their character. Then ask them that's what they wanted. Or I guess you could opt to re-think the plot so it's not a problem. It's only set in stone once you let it be. The player who complains about...

Today I will be looking at the ENnie Nominated sourcebook Atlas Of Earth-Prime by Green Ronin. While it missed out on the top spots, this book has a lot going for it and I thought I'd break down where I think it shines and where it might could have been better. The Atlas of Earth-Prime was...

Planeshift: Ixalan was released a few hours ago, it looks to be as good as the previous settings - it's a 47 page document. Feel free to check it out below: https://media.wizards.com/2018/downloads/magic/plane-shift_ixalan.pdf

If you think about it, given the five year clause, the last dungeons and dragons film was released in December of 2012. Five years from then is now. Unless sweetpea make a film in the next week, don't the rights revert anyhow? Too bad they had their money and time tied up in an expensive legal...

That's a cool use of it. Did you have the 'Supertoon' expansion stuff or did you just run it off the base game? I agree that it's original intent was not probably not as a kids game but it in my experience, it works really well as one. I think it's a really useful lightweight unisystem. Mind...

A lot has been made recently about specific games for gaming with your children. A lot of products in the last five years have focused on this with a wide variety options and feels from Hero Kids, Little Heroes and the upcoming Last Unicorn RPG from Playground Adventures. With that I thought I'd...

Ah, if it is, then don't I look silly.

So you're both anticipating 6E despite wizards creators specifically saying they haven't even thought of starting making it yet and they want the edition to run for a decade at least?

They've said they will be releasing a book with both Mystic (psion) class and Artificer class next year. What campaign setting would need those two things? Don't give up hope yet.

I'd suggest that the border between these definitions (especially the first two) is often audience defined though: The players can dictate the level of association between the avatar and the self. My family and friends play Game Of Life as an RPG even though my family don't play RPGs. (To define...

I agree, with Mort, I'd like to see the details of that build. It seems like something is off.
