    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    With the first group back in 1980, we played D&D basic for a few sessions. Not sure how many. Maybe 3-4. One player brought the Traveller little black books because he preferred sci-fi and had started reading Fondation. It was cool with us. We created characters, and yes mine died during...

    Our Physical Fitness

    For the last two days, I built a 24" wide x 10 feet long flower box along the neighbour's ugly fence. We will grow beans to hide it, and have some fresh veggies. Lost another pound last week.

    Worlds of Design: Battle Maneuvers

    All the other characters had their part to play in the mission. Our scouting was extensive. I was out of range of arrows, and we knew where their magic-user was thanks to my familiar. I turned invisible and used the wish to make a section of the fortification disappear. Our troops raided the...

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    And yet you expressed the want, and implied that the game needs more guidance for the GM.

    D&D and Star Wars Designer Rodney Thompson Turns His Hand To Cyberpunk in Neon City Outlaws

    It's a percentile system with d8s for Advantages and Challenges. Looks cool.

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    So now you want support. I thought you said an RPG doesn't need supplements. A single book is enough! ;):D:p

    Worlds of Design: Battle Maneuvers

    The operation was a success and I was playing a magic-user with fly, feather fall and a ring with a wish. :p

    What if you used a flamethrower as a snowblower?

    My electric leafblower has a reverse mode that sucks leaves in and crumbles them into a nice mulch I can spread elsewhere where it's needed. Another benefit is that it can suck dead leaves from hard to reach dense bushes.

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    The character creation episode was interesting. Enjoyed observing how CR players think when creating their characters. Ashley is my favourite player, as always. She had two concepts. It was fun to see Marisha ask for permission to use Ashley's Hot Orc Girl concept. Ashley's...

    Worlds of Design: Battle Maneuvers

    I once used my flying carpet to drop incendiary clay pots on enemy formations.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    What happens when novices discover RPGs via D&D? 1) Bounce hard against it. Never play RPGs again. 2) Bounce hard against it, but switch to another RPG genre like CoC. 3) Likes it but quits after a few months, or a year. Might play again when the kids are old enough. 4) Hooked for life on D&D...

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    I ordered LotLE, book and pdf combo on dtrpg. Printed locally in Canada is a great incentive.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    It's a bit more complicated. Your attributes, size, weapon and armour modify the dice rolls. Also, dice explode. But yes, it's far more abstract than most RPGs.

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I'm conflicted and wait for the CR series to make up my mind about the system.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    In a nutshell, resolution is made by making a pool of d6s for each side. The side with the highest total result wins and inflicts differential damage to the losing side. Soloists like it because resolution is fast (but also unforgiving). Lair of the Leopard Empress by Mindjammer Press is the...

    Dragonbane Announces Two New Books

    Rolling low as possible makes sense since a 1 is a critical success. 20 is a critical failure. You want to be number 1, not finish in 20th place. Very intuitive to me.
