    Blade Runner: The Next Million Dollar Kickstarter?

    I've put this in my KS "reminder me". I love the Bladerunner franchise, including the PKD source material, and I'm very curious about Year Zero as a system, but it'll probably be something that just sits on my shelf. Too many cool games to play and not enough time to play them! Also, not a deal...

    Space Adventure RPGs

    I think sci-if games of the type the OP is refers are alive and well in RPGs if you know where to look. I’m currently running a sci-fi space campaign using Savage Worlds and a third-party setting called Seven Worlds. The setting has the Atomic Rockets Seal of Approval for scientific accuracy...

    What's your favorite dice system?

    There was a horror game I playtested years ago. (Unfortunately, it and the company have since evaporated, as they were trying to create a new edition of a game that they didn't have the rights to). It did, however, have a pretty solid resolution mechanic. It used a percentile system, with the...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Summer Hardcover Amazon Placeholder

    A print format we haven't seen before? A product two inches thick? Spelljammer pop-up book confirmed!

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Lairs & Legends, TOKYO : OTHERSCAPE, Shield Maidens, and more

    Depends on a lot of factors. Is there also a print version of the PDF which required significant development? How "professional" is the PDF, both in content and layout/design? Did it use multiple illustrators and/or authors? How much content is there? IME, PDF prices vary, just like they always...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Lairs & Legends, TOKYO : OTHERSCAPE, Shield Maidens, and more

    So now that everyone knows this, the party can just blow up the station as soon as they encounter it. Sounds like a short adventure. [Disclaimer: I backed this project and I keed.]

    TSR The Cult of Abaddon - Release from NuTSR/TheEvilDM

    Old people with bad eyesight... or any writer for that matter... shouldn't be editing their own work. Your brain knows what you meant to type, so you often don't see the actual errors. If you can't hire a professional editor, at least get someone else, or maybe a few someone elses, with a good...

    Recommendations for TTRPGs with a focus on strategic combat?

    The Fantasy Trip, rereleased with a new edition a couple years ago, was written partially in response to the lack of strategic combat in D&D’s early editions. It’s basically the forerunner to the GURPS, done by the same game designer, so it has detailed combat, but not as crunchy of a system...

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Obviously the had to sign an adventure NDA not to talk about the adventure ... aka Modify Memory.

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Entirely possible. Of course, that defeats the entire purpose of a "decentralized" blockchain, as the database will be a central repository. And what if something happens to the database? Supposedly permanent NFT character history goes "Poof!"

    D&D General NFTs Are Here To Ruin Dungeons & Dragons

    Here's the weird thing about that... the NFT Character's exploits are permanently on the blockchain. You can't even take the character and pretend they got to their current level through your own made-up history. Everything they've done and will do now that they're in your hands is immutable...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Easiest person to con is a person who desperately wants to be a con artist but lacks the skills (including intuitive understanding of human behavior) to do so. See 1987's House of Games

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    So, WotC could get an entire tattoo chain? Just think of the branding opportunities! But wait, if I get a D&D logo from a WotC tattoo parlor, does that mean they own my arm?

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I'm guessing the "press release" also wasn't actually, you know, released to the press. Just a FB post, which isn't how that works. Maybe they wanted the FB group to proofread it for them first. I mean, "resumption of production and fulfillment will resume." Straight from the Department of...

    TSR TSR3.5 Launches IndieGogo Campaign to "Stop" WotC

    I immediately thought of similar articles I'd read several years ago. The now since removed poster probably did too, but misremembered the specifics in order to apply the idea to his own world view. Apparently they didn't bother to do a quick Google search to refresh their memory and check...
