    It's Not D&D - My Experiences

    My non D&D games have mostly occurred in the last 5-6 years so my list is a bit shorter. Cypher/Numenera: Had a lot of fun running Cypher and was a player in a Numenera game for a while. The Numenera game fizzled out (most of the players just weren't feeling it), but I enjoyed it. The...

    What do you think of the post-Endgame Marvel movies? [[the mega poll!]]

    It was difficult coming up with a criteria for myself. None of these movies are perfect, but I'm willing to forgive some missteps for a fun time and the continuation of the MCU. The only one I ended up rating as bad is Love and Thunder. The humor didn't work nearly as well as it did in Ragnarok...

    Cognitive dissonance in YOUR favorite RPG [+]

    When I think too deeply about some mechanics I have to remind myself that it's a game. It can even be fun to deep dive on those topics, but only outside of the table. The thing that gives me fits in my favorite RPGs is meta currencies. I understand the concept and see why and how it can be...

    D&D General What Does the Choice of Dice Mean for the RPG? (+)

    My assumptions: D20 - the designers have played D&D or a clone at some point so you know what you're getting into. Plus, you've never seen a critical hit shirt featuring 2d6. D6 - whether it's 2d6 or dice pools the designers believe bell curves better reward skilled characters than the d20...

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    Combat Casting is way too good. A caster with a spell DC of 13, standard at level 1, needs to take 26 damage before they have to make a concentration roll. At level 5 it could be a DC of 15 or 16. That's 30 to 32 damage. How are martials supposed to force those rolls? Anyone without a big nova...
