I guess I was surprised. It seems like a lot on this list were older games, where Rotted Capes was Kickstarted and cant be more than 2 years old. I met the team at Gencon last year, and it has a very unique game engine. t was out a year before Cold Steel Wardens (which I am in!) I still love the...

Did Rotted Capes even get considered?????

It seems cool and I like the Terms of Use, but to do all that work and not get ANY design credit takes the wind out of my sails for this contest. I'm still loving the game.

Kind of, except that you never get over 2nd level, and the thing I dont like is almost every round you draw from a deck that essentially screws the players over in one way or another = their version of adventure. I own one of them, played it once, now its collecting dust. ~Desh

I know. I desperately wanted to run the Annihilation Wave storyline...cut short WAY too soon. The Punisher should pay someone a visit over that. ~Desh

I have several of these: I think the setting only really appealed to Moorcock fans, but I ran a gam of it probably 10 years ago that people still talk about ( not due to my super Gm skills, but because they were unfamiliar with the setting and really liked it once they were in). The 2 main...

Hi Gang, After about 2 years of work, my Kickstarter project just went live. Its a party game where cards are used to randomize the types of weird clients you get to work with as a practicing Psycho!Therapist. It is very much in the vein of a game that could have been played on Whose Line Is...

2 out of 5 rating for Shadow on the Moonsea I didnt realize this was for levels 1-4. We played at Gencon 2014 and the whole party was level 1. Th main adventure was ok, but it gets the low rating as when we got to the ship, the head NPC wiped out the entire party in consecutive rounds. It had...

Thank you. I totally agree with this. The one time I tried Organized Play (maybe D&D 3.5?) I started at 1st level and basically just got to follow the party around. My class might as well have been "benchwarmer/servant/waterboy" while other higher level PCs walked around with literally decks of...

Can I have some xp for that? That wasnt my intention, but I guess I'll take credit/responsibility. I'm not saying D&D/Pathfinder are bad games. I can enjoy them. What takes away from my own enjoyment is the list of the above, which I find absent in the Monte Cook Games (except maybe for Which...

I've played both and I like the system and setting. As a GM, it is easy to graph out a story and then proceed to tell it. You dont need stat blocks for opponents, and the collaborative aspect of minor and Major effects can really help players feel empowered in the story. And, with GM...

I frankly like rolling 4d6 drop the lowest. Do this 6 times which creates a 6x6 grid, then take the best set. I also liked, I think it was in Elric!, where for some stats you got to roll 2d6+6. ~Desh

Hi, I have been wondering about the boundaries of character optimization. Now let me say first that I do like having a character that is good at doing at least something, if not a few things. But it dawned on me that there are certain limits to it. So my question is this. Do you have a self-set...

I'll throw this out there. I get that a TPK should be a possibility, but I would say with any death, lets make it meaningful to the story. I am not advocating that characters be immune to death. I dont know about the module being discussed, but was there another obvious choice? Would it have...

Ok, if you need to go this route to have fun, why not just cheat? Get some loaded dice, or a d20 with every side being a 20. Roll your stats with 8d6, drop the lowest 5. Go buy 3rd party supplements that havent really been playtested, or better yet, write your own where you have the...

Ok, I have to chime in here. I dont think TPK's are actually good in almost any case. Why do I say this? Because I play to have a story. A story doesnt make much sense or hold much appeal if the Protagonists are all wiped out. I guess I have to wonder how much of a story Star Wars (Episode IV)...

Its just good to have you back Ari! Hope to see you at Gencon! ~desh Alumni of Nan's Games and Hobbies,where all my money went in my 20s!

Their patent seems like a dumb idea, being that most, if not all of the Palladium books already do that. I never had many Gurps but I imagine that is partially the same. The Strange is going to have "recursions" which could essentially be the same. Any game that has a Time Travel element could...

Hi again, I just found this project the other day. If you are a fan of Cards Against Humanity, this kind of takes it to the next level. NO SHAME CHARADES by Savino — Kickstarter

Its probably PH because now you have to buy the Basic set to go with it. Looks like PH just expands on the Basic set......if that is the case, I'm not happy
