    How to be a Better GM

    I think this indirectly brings up a point that gets missed when there are discussions about railroading and adventure planning. If players have signed up for an adventure they usually want to complete the adventure and for want of a better word "win" at the end so they want to stick to the...

    Knave 2 from Ben of Questing Beast. Update: Backerkit store is open.

    You make a good point. It's the tables and generators keeping Worlds/Stars without Number constantly in the bestseller lists at DTRPG. (And Kevin Crawford in caviar, champagne and diamond encrusted D20s)

    Knave 2 from Ben of Questing Beast. Update: Backerkit store is open.

    I believe I saw somewhere usually the first 24 hours is 50% of the total so the race is still undecided. I think all the core Questing Beast fans who were expecting it have signed up. It depends if it catches on with a secondary wave who find out about it from forums and you tube reviews like...

    horror games that you love (that aren't 'world of darkness' or cthulhu related.)

    Coincidentally, that is also the only way to get the IT department to pay attention to your issue where I work.

    Dice pool game design woes

    I think the only way is to have successes be more than 1 per dice but that may defeat the purpose of a success or fail dice pool mechanic. For example each six sided dice has 3 blank 0s and 1, 2 and 3 on the remaining faces. That only leaves impossible rolls with a pool of 1 as two dice have a 1...

    D&D General Yes, You Can Get D&D Boxer Shorts Now

    OK that's the Basic Boxer. I'm presuming there'll be Expert, Companion, Master and Immortal boxers released soon as well.

    Does Dual-Wielding = Double Damage?

    As above I was going to reference boxing as boxers are duel welding all the time. If there was a way to effectively attack with both at once someone would have figured it out and we would see it. Using one weapon to set up the other in combinations is clearly a thing so you aren't expecting...

    Are the Million-dollar Kickstarters slowing down?

    So I read a couple of articles recently one from someone who had a million dollar Kickstarter and one about how Apple's privacy changes had impacted small business advertising online. I was going to post something here about how that could be affecting million dollar Kickstarters but I got...

    On "Illusionism" (+)

    What everyone above said mostly. Given such a freeform format of game you can't avoid shifting things around a bit. I can only come up with so many ideas. If the group zig rather than zag and miss out on my cool encounter I will repurpose it at some point, in some way. I think like lots of...

    Throw me your best definition of "TTRPG"

    Imagine if you were playing a board game like Cluedo and decided your character was going to leave the board and go to the petrol station you saw down the road to see if their CCTV caught anyone suspicious heading towards the mansion. And instead of saying "You can't do that!", the guy whose...

    Play styles (creative agendas) and artistic/literary movements

    I'm just imagining an RPG where every time you fail a roll or get injured you have to step on Lego barefoot while the GM shouts "Real enough for ya?!"

    A Remembrance of Everway: The First WOTC RPG that was too Good to Succeed

    That matches what Jonathan Tweet himself says in the article linked below. As has been said sadly too believable. EVERWAY Then and Now

    A Remembrance of Everway: The First WOTC RPG that was too Good to Succeed

    Three games that are often mentioned in the same breath. I feel Rocky and Bullwinkle dealt with the personal horror vibe better than Vampire however.

    What's Your Favorite Name for a TTRPG and Why?

    Ok a few points 1) Princess World Frontier Kingdoms is frankly just four words in an order and yet, and yet, it makes me want to know more. 2) Having found out more it's actually Princess World: Frontier Kingdoms. Which makes more sense but possibly would have made me less interested in checking...

    What's Your Favorite Name for a TTRPG and Why?

    Names I like: Monster of the week. - Being a game inspired by the TV shows that inspired the phrase "Monster of the week" means you instantly get the right vibe but also as the term is often used slightly dismissively it comes across as not taking itself too seriously as well so a nice balance...
