    Fantasy France - what would it have?

    I read Song for Arbonne years ago and liked it but couldn't remember the exact name or who wrote it so thank you for that. It has a very minstrels and courtly romance vibe would go well with Blue Rose RPG from what I remember. It's also a single volume so you're not wading through multiple...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    Irda were sexy smart good Ogres. Kinda like She Hulk but with less green.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Creators Reveal Why There Are No Orcs On Krynn

    Leave off Kender! Some of my favourite characters in the books were Kender. Of course if someone in your party wants to actually play one, tell them you switched to only playing one page story-games about sadness from itch.io, turn the lights out and hide under the table until they go away...

    Not DND - Alien RPG with Tomas Härenstam

    I agree I like the way it goes from the larger "not DnD" publishers like Free League and Modiphius down to solo indie designers. I must admit it's inspired me to buy a couple of things I wouldn't even have been aware of otherwise. But to be honest how they got into RPGs why they were inspired to...

    What's the appeal of digest-sized products?

    Bah! Just a fad. They'll be embarrassed when people move on to the next craze and they are left with bits of straight wood stuck to their walls.

    RPGing via Billy Bragg?

    I'd like to acknowledge the 999 likes that came before me and made this achievement possible. I'd also like to thank my agent, the academy, and everyone who believed in me...

    RPGing via Billy Bragg?

    I backed the Kickstarter for Misspent youth (tag line - fall in love, not in line.) Which is all about fighting the power and making social change. I won't get my grubby hands on it for a few months so I can't tell you more at this time. Revolution comes to the Kingdom is a game about fighting...

    D&D General Ed Greenwood's $5K Contract To Sell The Forgotten Realms

    I think this hits the nail on the head. If he hadn't sold the rights what would he have done with it. No Kickstarter or DMs guild to digitally publish without upfront costs. TSR made FR popular by buying it and putting their resources behind it. He got a good deal for what he was selling...

    Free League's Alien RPG - My Experience

    Have you not seen Aliens!? Incinerators always make it worse 😁 (Unless it's Ripley using them)

    Free League's Alien RPG - My Experience

    The dark horse comics in the 90's managed it well. Much better than any of the movies at any rate.

    INTO THE ODD: The art in pursuit of sensible minimalism.

    I love Electric Bastionland. I missed the Kickstarter for this so I'm just waiting for Free League to start selling it directly as they are the distributor. There is a playtest document out for Mythic Bastionland as well if you want to complete the trilogy. Mythic Bastionland playtest

    D&D General Rant: Sometimes I Hate the D&D Community

    There is no new edition OneD&D has always been here. (Backwards compatible since the dawn of time). There will be no new editions OneD&D is forever. (Leading to an endless subscription/ aaS sales model of perfection) Join us! You will never want to leave! * * our digital walled garden.** **...

    WTF is "cold iron", and why's it so special?

    No you got me on some good points. it's not automatically better and they did coexist for a good time and I did gloss over the how and why iron helped people go a conquering a bit. In terms of its really steel that's better. I was in part using Iron in a broad poetic sense (like Iron age...

    WTF is "cold iron", and why's it so special?

    I don't think this has been gone into in detail in this thread but a bit of history of iron. Iron ore is more common and in almost all places easier to mine than copper also unlike bronze you don't need to sail to the mist enshrouded ends of the world and talk to Cornish people to get your tin...

    In A Wicked Age actual play.

    That was really interesting, I'd never heard of In a wicked age before. Ways to generate actual scenarios rather than just random encounters is something that I've been looking into recently so that caught my attention straight away. I thought the fact that the players were negotiating...

    Troika!: An Interview with Daniel Sell

    Actually I just bought the hardback last month so read, but nowhere near playing yet. I got it as it's often referenced with Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland which I love. Apparently I'm a British OSR kinda guy. Who knew?
