Not all games are easy to learn. In this short video, Mandy found that it was Hard To Boardgames. This has led to board game memes.

Linda Codega's been doing great work with these RPG industry articles on Gizmodo-io9. What a great, detailed breakdown of Gripnr. No better condemnation of Gripnr than by sitting down with the people involved and finding out exactly what their plan is. And wow, does that plan stink. Comer even...

I listed a considerable number of games with tactical combat in the last thread like this, including LANCER, ICON and GUBAT BANWA... https://www.enworld.org/threads/is-there-demand-for-a-%E2%80%9Ctactical%E2%80%9D-rpg-akin-to-4e.683825/#post-8449939

From what I've seen, DALLAS had some interesting mechanics and scene framing that makes it a sort of proto-narrative RPG - an extinct oddity that could have developed into a whole different branch of storygame evolution. Would be interesting to hack DALLAS...merge the cutthroat intrigue and...

Time And Time And Time Again "It was unfortunate, but conflict has always been a series of tragedies. Our duty is simply to try to mitigate the worst of them," Tabitha nods, "We appreciate the sentiment, regardless. What were your ships doing in the area anyway? And what sort of protocols were...

In some cases, it was the same people who caused the sub-prime crisis, backing crypto as the next big thing... 😠

I like these offerings, great idea!

Feels a bit like it occupies a similar niche to Blades in the Dark (criminal gangs + fantasy elements), but in a modern-world setting...

I used to be okay with big books, but FFG's Edge of the Empire (and the other Star Wars core books) did not need to be so huge!!

Through a Glass Darkly, Part 5 Caspian continues to eye the man coldly, "I assume she has a place in mind?" "Who?" Tabitha interjects, as she and CSO Richards show up with a pair of the Wagner's security detail in tow - Lieutenant Asad glares at the "workman" with a gimlet eye but says...

Duplicate of 106.

Through a Glass Darkly, Part 4 "Outside of standard diplomatic channels?" Caspian arcs an eyebrow. "Let me warn you - Line Commander St. Germaine doesn't appreciate backroom deals even when she's being polite about it." He carefully releases the man, "And she has been very firm about Union's...

Regarding the part of 2. that says "everyone is doing something important during starship combat," the best solution I've found is to give everyone their own ship during a battle. So, although I love Scum and Villainy, I'd say, run Beam Saber. It's Forged in the Dark and has rules to give every...

As I've heard it said, "you'll think you're supposed to play it like D&D, but you'll end up playing it like Call of Cthulhu." Anyway, my experiences with WFRP 2nd and 3rd Edition were short but enjoyable. Not sure how it'll go as a longer campaign.

I first heard of Midgard as a PF setting, but it's had a 13th Age bestiary too. Definitely worth exploring in any of those systems.

74 The bleak, ghost-infested, nearly sunless world of the Empire of the Shattered Isles, the setting of Ghost Lines (2013, One Seven Design) and Blades in the Dark (2017, Evil Hat Productions). It supposedly evolved from the consequences of a previous campaign world blowing up in John Harper's...

Through a Glass Darkly, Part 3 "Friends of yours?" he chuckles nonchalantly as he informs Tabitha of their tail. She responds with a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "Not that I'm aware of." The two of them keep walking, chatting as normally as possible while discussing their options...
