    RPG Crowdfunding News - Erevan's Guide, Outgunned, Vast Grimm, and more

    Also onboard for Outgunned Adventure (since day 1). While I like Broken Compass a bit better in terms of rules design than Outgunned, it seems CMON, who now own it, basically do nothing with it. And as far as I can tell, Outgunned Adventure will come close enough that it should run similarly...

    Looking for D&D-like alternatives to D&D 5e

    Depending on how close to D&D it needs to be, Savage Worlds, either with Fantasy Companion or Savage Pathfinder might be an option. It would still rank it mid-crunch, but grid-based combat is at least an option (we typically play ToTM when we play Savage Worlds, but the rules for grid-based...

    D&D General Do You D&D OSR?

    Not quite sure what to vote here. I have played a bit of AD&D2e when it was current, but I have played significantly more 3e and 5e. I am no longer playing WotC D&D versions, and I do play OSR games from time to time. Yet they are just part of a larger set of options and I don’t play OSR...

    D&D General The nitty gritty

    Depends a bit on specific version of D&D - in 3e or 5e, only time, rests, special equipment and major spell components receive attention. In B/X (or similar things like Forbidden Lands), rations, water, torches and encumbrance get tracked, too. However, I do prefer alternative rules with...

    2d20 Heroes of Might and Magic RPG from Ubisoft and Modiphius

    Yes, there's a Sci-fi plot in the background. In doesn't really surface for most of the game, though (at least not for part 4 and 5, which I played most). And I think the Sci-fi elements are absent from Heroes of Might and Magic. Still I'm not exactly sure what I should expect from a HoMM TTRPG...

    Civilizations, RANKED!

    It's a bit hard because memories of the first games are already vague, but let's try: Civilization 2 wins the top spot for me, because it falls into the era in which I feel in love with the series, but was quite a bit more polished than 1. Civilization 5 gets the next position because it tried...

    Are our tastes set?

    Rules-wise, I'm not so sure. So, yes, if was forced to only play D&D and then only a single edition, I might go with 3e (which I played most), but that would immediately trigger a lot of hacking and the result would no longer be recognizable as 3e. And you would probably find a fair amount of...

    What RPG Do You Wish Had A Retroclone?

    I think the original plan was a setting book, but they changed their mind before launching the Kickstarter and now it will be stand-alone.

    D&D General Boomer/GenX 5e? (+)

    Or do something like Flatland Games' Grizzled Adventurers about some greybeard adventurers dusting off their equipment for "one last dungeon crawl".

    How many RPG dice do you own?

    My estimation this morning was 100 to 200, so I voted 100+. Doing a bit of inventory here to see how accurate that estimation is: 2 sets of Forbidden Lands dice, each consisting of 12 dice -> 24 2 sets of Broken Compass dice, each consistent of 9 dice -> 18 2 sets of DCC dice, each consisting...
