    Player Characters Doing The Dumb Things

    I run mostly semi-sandbox campaigns in the systems I GM, and all campaigns are basically fueled by player characters doing dumb things, drawing wrong conclusions and - most importantly - thinking they are smart and clever when doing stupid stuff. It's an improv GMs wet dream really, since the...

    The thought of switching VTTs is so daunting

    I haven't checked in on AboveVTT in quite a while - what's the word on the future in relation to Wizards own VTT?

    The thought of switching VTTs is so daunting

    I don't do Pf2e, even though I really like the system for that specific game style. But I still must add that the commercial Pf2e adventure path modules for Foundry is the most luxurious and best implemented stuff I've seen. If I ever come into a life situation with zero prep time as a GM, I...

    The thought of switching VTTs is so daunting

    I use Foundry and am comfy with that. Now, there are a couple of game systems I'd like to play that are better supported on other platforms. But I'm a humanities guy that is very uninterested in the tech itself, am happy that I've come to grips with Foundry, and it would feel daunting to start...

    What RPG do you most regret parting with?

    My Runequest 2e collection, that died in a waterfilled cellar together with The Fantasy Trip, old Traveller boxes etc. May the books Rest In Peace.

    D&D 5E (2014) Restrictive DMs and player enjoyment

    I may be a relic, but for me it's simple. Me and my table agree in consensus what system and type of campaign to play. I as GM present a bit more detailed campaign concept including relevant frames for characters. You as player make a character that fits the campaign frames. If you have a free...

    D&D 5E (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    TTRPGs Where Everyone's a Mage?

    I'm Ready For A New [BLANK] RPG

    What is the single best science fiction or fantasy franchise?

    I admit to having a strong fetish for 1930ies and 40ies space opera. But the correct answer is of course EE Doc Smiths Lensman series, it’s filled to the brim with pulpy goodness!

    Sex at the Table

    Sex, romance, brothels etc are always a component in my campaigns, since I and my players see it as a natural part of our roleplaying and social pillar-heavy playstyle. Though usually we draw a curtain after kisses, cuddling and seduction, we don't feel the need to be graphical about the act...

    Which game has your favorite magic system?

    Currently, it's Savage Worlds powers system. Imho it sits in a good spot between free form and rigid spellslots, with lots of flexibility for different genres while still being very easy to use. Yes, part of why I like it is that my players really lean into personalizing and being creative with...
