The Sinner is excellent. It has nothing to do with religion btw. Each season is about a killer and the obsessive retired detective who tries to catch him. It has a twisted Colombo vibe. The last season left me slightly brain damaged!

The 90s were AD&D 2e only for me. The group didn't want to try other RPGs. I did manage to squeeze in three games of Star Wars WEG before they asked to go back to AD&D. They refused to play Vampire the Masquerade and spin-offs.

As a GM, when I built a fantasy world, if the characters travel great distances, they will go to non-European-like countries. During 2e, one campaign was called the Prince World Tour. The King mandated the party to travel incognito with the Prince, so that he may learn the ways of various...

If I had let D&D comparative critiques detract me from trying other RPGs, I would have never played Call of Chtuluh, Traveller, Dragonquest, etc, etc. For me, it started two months after I discovered D&D, in 1980. I ignore my knee jerk reaction and listen to what the other person was trying to...

If you let comparative critiques of D&D detract you from trying a new game, you don’t really want to play new games.

Great! I like that Special Abilities cost willpower points to activate. Players have to think when best to use them. I bought the new BRP book, but I can't read it because the font size is microscopic. It should have been two books (Player / GM) with a larger font size.

Good Girls. Three 'ordinary' women slowly become criminals. A fun watch.

I was going to mention that one. It was a fun watch and with a Ks their were able to pay for the special effects of the movie that caps the series. They did a follow-up with her niece, Peregrine Fisher, Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries set in the 50-60s. The costumes and modern architecture...

The Sequels should have started with a 20-minute Luke-Ren New school of Jedi sequence to establish drama and tension, then switch to Rey. The trilogy would have had the same level of gravitas as when Luke learns Vader is his father.

Travellers should have had a satisfying resolution at the end of season one.

I've always loved the FF 'family'. This trailer makes me hope they finally did it right.

I'll watch parts of the Prequels when cable stations do back-to-back showings during Long Weekends. My interest rises and wanes because the movies are uneven. Some scenes are excellent, others are cringey. Seems like no one in the team could (or wanted) to say 'No that's a bad idea' to Lucas. I...

5.0/5.5

I talk with the other players, and we try to come up with a coherent group that will cover the bases for the RPG we will be playing. Because we change GM every 3-4 months, the character turnover is rapid. In 2024, I played two brawlers (Paranoia, Vaesen) and an investigator (CoC). Next time I'm...

Troll Lord Games statement: The Short: We make our products here in the United States and have for decades. The current trade war, much like the Covid Pandemic, will not have a measurable impact on TLG’s operations. I do not anticipate any price increases. We do not anticipate a delay in output...

Excellent suggestion. We played this game every time during our 90s gaming retreats. Your guy gets promoted to the top, only to learn someone else invested more in him, and gets the win. Great fun!

No worries. RPGElite is still a fan of Mongoose. It's a clickbait title. He says you are crushing it. But he is upset with Monte Cook Games.

We just finished season 2. A tour de force! Loved it. Hopefully won't have to wait too long for season 3.

We watched Supernatural from beginning to end. Seasons 1 to 5 form a cohesive concept. The series was designed by Kripke for 5 seasons. You don't have to continue beyond. After that, we tagged along because, like many long-lasting TV shows, the interaction between the main characters is more...
