I've been running campaigns in the World of Midgard since 2012 and I'll just say those 2 books you listed are very good. There's about 800 pages of Midgard, gaming goodness between them. What I like best about the WoM book, is that about 90% of it is system agnostic. So if you don't want to run...

Afraid there's just too many tick boxes I'd tick, so I only ticked one. Post apocalyptic is one of those genres where I can imagine and enjoy a lot of different variants in play. The only thing in my mind a setting for the genre shouldn't have, is space travel. Although I suppose in a time frame...

I'll ditto the idea that a reprint of SR 2e would've been a better choice. My personal favorite edition is 3e, but I remember 2e being playable - not so much with 1e. Being a fan and consumer of the same publisher's tabletop miniatures lines, I can't say I'm surprised. Based on some of their...

Mythic Iceland for the Basic Roleplaying system also meets all your requirements. I've run it with the Mythras ruleset (similar to BRP) and it definitely scratches the itch for a Viking themed setting. There's a free to downloand Basic Roleplaying Quickstart available here . And for the Fantasy...

Last I checked, Talespire didn't support character sheets and Mirrorscape upon release won't either. In comparison to other VTTs, I don't see these 3D digital tabletops as representing a kind of Beta Vs VHS product war, since they lack that fundamental element of TTRPGs. For me, one of the...

I own VoiceMod which integrates with Discord. I've occasionally used it while using Discord for voice comms to support one of my VTTs. My players haven't had issues with it. It runs via its own app and it's very easy to toggle the modified voice on and off. I'm the one that's had problems with...

In my groups, I'm almost alway the person introing a new TTRPG and GMing it. I consider myself a good teacher and haven't had many problems with players learning the new system. My biggest problem has always been with players that have achieved high game mastery in an edition of D&D, being...

I've only ever sat down to tables running fairly standard superheroes - I believe they were what's referred to as 4 color, but not sure of the Supers era and whether that former term is appropriate. Those were all run with Mutants & Masterminds; mostly the with 2nd edition, but some with the...

Well if you're reading the Midgard Worldbook, the darkness has been lessened a bit from the earlier Midgard Campaign Setting book. There's lots of points of light in the setting though, with Zobeck at the center probably being the brightest. If the darker elements aren't distasteful to you, I...

For me, it depends upon whether I'm using the bestiaries for a D&D 5e campaign set in Midgard, or just using them to enhance a campaign set in another world. About a 1/3rd of the 300+ monsters in the original Tome of Beasts had terrific sidebars with flavor text for monsters with charateristics...

OK cool - I own both Mythras Classic Fantasy and Classic Fantasy Imperative from Design Mechanism. I'm a fan of BRP for fantasy gernres too, having run campaigns with some of Alephtar Games' settings. I was hoping to find something with an altenative to Mythras' differnetial rolls with Special...

Question: is this based upon the 20th Anniversay edition of the VTM core rules? 20th Anniversay is the only edition for which I own a decent amount of content. So if this was indeed published for that edition, I'd be interested in it.

The SAGA system seems to have been at its pinnacle when I was on sabatical from TTRPGs with a housefull of young kids. I only know it by its name and TBH whenever I read or hear it, the 1st thing that comes to mind is the terrific graphic novel. :giggle: I'm a gamer who's enjoyed card-driven...

I'm interested in this, but where do you buy it? It's not available on drivethru and if you browse to the BRP Classic section @ chaosium.com, you're just taken to a store page which has the new CRB and their Fantasy settings. About the closest thing is a link on that page to a BRP Classic...

I'll repeat some of the choices already made - Fate Core, Fate Accelerated and Cortex Prime. I'd also add Fantasy Age 1e as a different, simpler TTRPG to play the genre with, ableit IMO it needs some rules tweaking. I also like Mythras Classic Fantasy, but I need to know the party of players is...

This is why I prefer prewritten adventures and campaigns that are built upon modular TTRPGS. My tendency is to always begin with the desire to homebrew my own world wth some adventures to go along with it, but time constraints get in the way. At least if the system is modular, I have a way of...

I ran a Dragon Age campaign that went from level 1-18, so I can appreciate concerns about game play suffering at later levels. That said, my campaign used rules that were a hybrid of DAGE and Fantasy Age, so the campaign avoided some of the pitfalls at higher levels. I don't own Fantasy Age 2...

"I've never played it", but have heard lots about it - almost entirely the Rifts flavor. The general consensus in the TTRPG community in my area, seems to be to avoid the system unless you're cool with many houserules. There's a group of players in our local Tabletop miniatures club that are...

My primary criteria for the rules for an adapatation of The Elder Scrolls, is something that's skills based/focused. IMO SWADE definitely meets that criteria, as skill-traits are at its core. Will Herrmans's adaptation uses one of Zadmar Games' variations on powers to implement the Magick of the...

I voted as "I've never played it." I got the World of Darkness Rulebook PDF when it was briefely offered for free. As well, I bought some of the VtM 20th anniversary PDFs, but I've never got either to the table. I'm a big fan of Call of Cthulhu and the cosmic-horror genre, so it tends to get my...
