    So, what are we thinking about running?

    "O Fish, are you constant to the Old Covenant?" Dibs.

    Tired of hearing people hate on longer battle times in strategic RPG's

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay v3 would beg to differ.

    So, what are we thinking about running?

    Dread? Leverage? Been hankerin' to run some Paranoia, too.

    [Dread] Jenga beat up my dice! My results from the indie horror RPG.

    Unveiled a new Dread game at NC Gameday last weekend. As usual, it was a ton of fun. Great players make this game such a pleasure to run. This was the culmination of some ideas that had been kicking around for a long time without coming together. Finally one day it all just sort of clicked...

    Should have been a gold. I love that game.

    Ceramic DM

    Piratecat and I were talking about it when I was up in Boston a couple weeks ago. He's getting hammered at work right now, but we think we'll try to kick off another iteration in May sometime.

    Conventions still worth it?

    Believe it or not, you'd be one of many. Especially since a lot of times people are running brand-new games that *no one* is really familiar with. And for any noobs going to GenCon, keep an eye on the GenCon forum here at ENWorld. A few of us ran games specifically for 1st-time attendees...

    Conventions still worth it?

    If they're well-organized, they'll let you know whether they are expecting experienced players for a particular session. But for the most part, you assume that some or all of the players will have little to no experience with the game, because it's expected that people will want to try out new...

    Conventions still worth it?

    Gotta say I really don't get the 'I only play X' attitude. Conventions are a fantastic place to play something different with zero investment. Almost anything you can name someone will be running at GenCon. The unofficial ENWorld games are absolutely top-notch, with some of the best GMs and...

    Leverage RPG play report

    I ran a pick-up game at PAX East last weekend with 3 ENWorlders I'd gamed with previously (and got dissed by Piratecat. Again. :p) and a couple strangers from the other side of the world who happened to be in the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time. The scenario ended up being more of a...

    Leverage RPG play report

    Thanks for writing it! Yes, could definitely double up on Grifter or Thief, maybe Hitter if it was a combat-heavy scenario. You've suggested elsewhere dropping Mastermind for four players, but I'd still be inclined to drop Hitter first. The Mastermind Talents benefits to the other party...

    Leverage RPG play report

    Depends on your definition of 'long'. Essentially you get 1XP/job. You can spend XP to gain permanent assets, new talents or specialties, or improve roles and stats. Improving a role or stat costs 8 'jobs', where as assets and talents and such costs half that or less. Interestingly, XP can...

    Leverage RPG play report

    Ran a playtest / chargen session for some folks last night in preparation for running Leverage games at the various gamedays and what-not this year. All things considered, I think it went pretty well. With only four players, the Mastermind was played by everyone. The players seemed to enjoy...
