If you haven't checked out Band of Blades yet, definitely do it. It's so freaking good.

Yeah, this immediately brought the Pathfinder Card Game to my mind. There are a lot of other games that operate in this space, but the Pathfinder game is probably the one I've played the most. Randomization is card and die driven. Cards represent things like items or spells, while dice...

Late to the party, but: I don't know what the quality of those specific dice are, but the glow in the dark dice I bought in the mid 90s you could FIND in the dark, but in absolutely no way read. The quality of those dice LOOK a lot better, but the in-the-dark photo also looks to be tweaked a...

Roughly in order of frequency (which in all honesty is low) Band of Blades Blades in the Dark The Quiet Year Girl Underground Torchbearer Dungeon World Durance Dogs in the Vineyard

Tried to start Keep in the Borderlands with my father around 1980, which lead to a lot of head scratching and not a lot of playing. The game was abandoned, however the books stayed with me and I read and reread and collected and made maps and came up with adventures till I eventually managed to...

I don't know if it's directions come up eventually, but in Diskworld they use hubward if you're heading towards the center, rimward if you're heading towards the edge, and turnwise and widdershins for travelling in the direction of the world's spin or against.

I am in the following boat: Need to Play Games - Increasing Number of Other Commitments - Increasing Available Time - Decreasing Amount of Crap I Buy That Never Has a Chance to Hit the Table - Increasing Friends Who Are in the Same Exact Boat - Increasing Mostly we're all looking forward...

Design wise, I wish they did, but at this point I think that the spectrum of classes is how things are going to go.

What was the death mechanic in "Over the Edge"? I remember that it had had some kind of system in place that worked kinda like a death flag, but I don't remember what it was.

[DELETED!] Jumped to the wrong window with my reply.

A guy I went to college with had a shelf he'd set his army of dice up on between game sessions. His ritual was that he'd place them with the numbers he wanted to roll facing down because his grasp of statistics was more mysticism than math and he thought that keeping other numbers face up...

If money is any kind of factor, then the tax write off is probably the "smart" option. As for other donation options, it depends on where you are, and who you think needs it most. I could see game donations being equally appreciated at libraries, veterans' groups, hospitals, prisons, local...

I don't care at all. My dice choices are more about the look and feel of the dice than anything to do with whatever possible manufacture bias they might have. I just can't believe that a normal irregular (albeit not purposefully loaded die) is going to have any kind of meaningful impact over...

I'm just getting into this thread, and I don't know if someone else has already mentioned what I want to add in the 10 pages I haven't read, but when I was last running D&D, this was how we were playing. Prior to that I had been firmly planted in the die fudging DM end of the spectrum, but I...

Well, I guess we'll see. My guess however would be that we're not going to be seeing Kovacs: The Role Playing Game any time soon.

It's been a while since I watched it or read the books, but isn't there a whole "download a person's mind and implant them into another person" thing? Not to mention the all the space faring, envoy training, and story specific scifi and political elements. Beyond all of that, the possible...

You have to assume that the game is about the world, not the character, right?

I have, over the last 20ish years probably written an easy dozen stand alone rpgs. The majority of them were done as one shot adventures built around either a Twilight Zone-ish story I had in my head, or pieced together around a mechanic I thought was fun. In college these were done as...

You should check out the Cartographer's Guild. There are a handful of us from here that upload our work over there, and there's always a huge demand for other people's maps and custom work. It's been a while since I've had a chance/reason to make anything new, but here's one of the nicer...

Morrus It would kinda be awesome if a necro'd thread got a special tag attached to the title. Does the forum software allow for an automation like that? (huh, I forget how to do a user alert)
