Savage Worlds and Savage Pathfinder. Easy to use in actual play, very flexible, with a moderate power level.

That background seems like standard procedure for most of human history. But if we apply a modern perspective on children and childhood, even if the parents don't love each other they still got what they wanted out of the marriage, and could still love their kids. Combined with material wealth...

I don't know if Pf2e lacks anything. For a certain d20 fantasy playstyle it's pretty much perfect. It has a gazillion character options, is very easy to GM and prep for, and runs like butter on Foundry. Golarion is a great setting and the APs are imho the easiest to run prewritten campaigns out...

I'm a heavy Savage Worlds fanboy and will of course recommend it for everything. But as to modern settings, I must shout out to Everyday Heroes, a 5e based system aiming to be an updated version of the old 3.5e d20 Modern game. It's a very nice system with lots of nifty tweaks to classes etc...

I have no problem with this and will buy the new books. But yes, it's 2.5.

I will stay on Foundry, but it’s interesting that Call of Cthulhu is on the platform when we still doesn’t have an official CoC module for Foundry.

I can honestly see other problems than a fringe need for ships and water in trying to create a class of Seamen, in a game that is working hard to hook young consumers in a country with Florida in it.

I get you, I have kind of the same philosophy.

Savage Worlds is my answer to most things. But Everyday Heroes seems very playable and fun as d20/5e systems go, with nifty ideas around INT based chars etc. If and when the Urban Arcana is released I will probably run a campaign.

Absalom smalltimers burn down church.

I’m motivated, prepared and hopefully ready, with glasses on my nose and a cup of roibos tea beside me. Starting on Tomas Pynchons Gravity’s Rainbow in a few minutes.

Well, I've decided not to play Dungeons & Dragons specifically for the foreseeable future, but yes, I GM classic high fantasy as one of my preferred genres. And my biggest beef with dungeons is that my group focus on and really enjoy the social pillar and roleplaying. And the classic dungeon...

I have been known for decades in my gaming circles for including fully usable toilet facilities (with different design and maybe a quest in itself for how to actually use it without public embarasment) in every single adventurable locale I create, be it a palace in The City of Brass or the...

Best of luck! Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e is my favourite system for disease! In the latest Lustria book they added lots of tropical goodies such as Bleeding Eye Rot, Choking Lungblight and Necrotic Foot Rot. The namn alone of the last one make shure you roleplay washing your feet regularly...

I have come to understand that what I enjoy GMing and making is very character driven stuff with a focus on intrigue, conspiracies and heavy roleplaying. Plots and campaign frames are there, but in a more poststructuralistic sense, dynamic and ever changing, leaning on the characters actions and...

I'm extremely bad - or rather uninterested and uninformed - regarding computer tech. But it runs on Unreal 5, right? And when I see Unreal 5 flagged as a feature in game trailers etc, I take that as a hint that my oldish machine (i5, 16 gig Ram, Geforce 1060/6Mb etc) at best can run the stuff at...

I usually only use a very moderate amount of Schrödinger tools, just enough to keep campaign framing and broad plot in sight. That is only because improvisation and on-the-spot creativity is part of what make GMing fun for me. But in principle, the GMs proficiency in using scharlatan...

Given that we only play traditional type games, we've fallen into a pre-campaign rut that work well for us no matter the game and genre: I present a campaign concept with wide frames for play style, setting, plot and theme. There's room for dialogue and adaption, but usually my players just buy...

I'll just be watching this one from the sideline with a large bag of popcorn. Mostly I'm curious how WotC will solve the PS fundamentals of alignment etc - on paper it should be an even harder nut to crack that the Dark Sun "problems", at least if they want to preserve some of the meaning and...

This is interesting. I'm a cis male, but also a feminist. Many of us are well read regarding the male gaze theories where a woman is constructed as an object for male desire, often with the help of specific mediation, styles of make up (or make up itself), and symbolic clothing attires that may...
