I mostly DM D&D (lots and lots over the years) but I have run several FATE games (Mostly Dresden FATE games). And I can say that the players act about the same in both games. Except in Fate games the rules just get out of the way, where in D&D the rules often define what the players attempt...

I did love Spycraft, I also like the idea of Leverage, but none of my friends want to play Spy games anymore so we never played it. I hear Gumshoe games like Nights Black agents, are good for spy games. Spy games are tough on players, at least they are tough on my players. In the movies it all...

Our group is loving Dresden Files Accelerated but I agree I think Cortex + is fantastic and easy to get. Aspects can be a bit tricky as no aspect is inherently stronger than another, but in Cortex the their equivalent of aspects all have associated power level (the die). I feel that makes it so...

I love Marvel Heroic Roleplaying so naturally I am drawn to this. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/530352392/cortex-prime-a-multi-genre-modular-roleplaying-gam/description

That one bit of data is indeed anecdotal, however the creators of the survey state that people are behaving much like his single sample indicated. From the in-depth explanation of how the survey is made ... "It’s from those two places [User Filled out forms] that we made The Orr Group Industry...

Am I the only who can never look at that artwork again and not see the Dr. Strange panel it was copied from?

Isn't a large part of the game trying to discern the other player's facial expressions and body language? I guess voice alone will have to do.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/trapdoortech/playbook-essentials-for-android-paper-rpgs-go-digi Very odd, they wrote the iOS playbook in an iOS specific environment knowing that Android support was going to be needed. Now they decide they can't port it, but rather they will provide a...

Would not have guessed that Rolemaster would be that high. That is one game I was always interested in but could never get my group to play.

Nicely done!

I'm glad FATE Core will have get the Table Top treatment. Whats the speculation of theme? Perhaps a Spirit of the Century vibe? As long as they don't go over silly, I will be fine with what they choose (Just not a Titans grave clone).

5 out of 5 rating for Curse of Strahd First Impressions: After having read the first 3 chapters. Pros:Great mood. - Though might be a little too dark for some people (Noticed a lot of dead kids being referenced) Well organized (many entries refer back to other entries to help you stay...

This ^^^ In FFG's Star Wars last Friday we twice had both a despair and a triumph happen in the same roll. Triumphs and Despairs are close analogies to Crits and Fumbles. Also these happen regardless of the success or failure of the roll. It is fun for the whole table as the player (s) get to...

You get immediate access to the quick start rules (which will get an update. When I don't know). The $300 with of 1st. Edition PDFs come at the end ( after you have actually paid.)

Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG

The problem with doing all those with a single d20 is that the Yes, and... and the "No, and..." don't happen often enough, while the "Yes, but..." and "No, and..." happen too often. Oddly enough the better the character, the more often they will get a "Yes, but..." Omry's first pass handles it...

What they need is core generic rules for animal companions and then give the Ranger class powers that buff those basic abilities.

I find this fine. The only difference I would have added is the size of the blob. However just because they did not mention a max expansion size, it does not mean that it does not have a max expansion size. So I would rule that it only restrains creatures where it makes sense to have...

OK Picked up Gifts of the Gods. The problem with Gift of the Gods is that while it is perfectly fine at adding a God Dimension to Dragon AGE, it is not good at mimicking D&D Clerics. D&D Clerics are Spellcasters with the ability to use Armor. Gift of the Gods does not address this at all...

I wonder how compatible it would be, perhaps they will kick out an updated version. Too bad they don'r have a preview to see how easy it would be to convert.
