    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    The ~3,000 PDF titles are trickier but by sticking to a couple of digital shopfronts duplicates are usually avoided.

    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    My memory is pretty good, I’ve got about 350 physical RPG books and am familiar with most of them. If in doubt… I look before clicking ‘buy’.

    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    On a serious note, physical books are there to see, digital books are just filed in an organised way which makes it easy to check what I already have.

    [Kickstarter] Broken Empires RPG by Trevor Devall of Me, Myself and Die!

    I’ve backed and I’m really excited by this new system. It integrates some cool mechanics and subsystems from my favourite games and the support for wider conflict than just combat is great to see. Having a game which is designed to be driven by player goals is another thing that I really like...

    How the Discworld TTRPG Works

    Sounds like an interesting option for a game that will generate Discworld style hijinks. If you more want a game about playing a character who is in the Discworld then the GURPS version is still available. It’s probably the best ‘Powered by GURPS’ system, too, with rules and lore mixed well and...

I like it when...

    Peregrine's Nest: Who Goes First?

    There are card-based initiative systems too. Savage Worlds uses that, and so do games like Aliens and Dragonbane so I am sure lots more people will get exposure to that mechanism. We really like card systems. If you play the cards face-up it is really easy to see who goes when, and it’s quick...
