I started playing AD&D 1e campaigns in 1980 at my College's D&D club - a subsidiary under the Wargamers Club. At the time, none of the handful or 2 of LGS in my city had tables for playing TTRPGs. Maybe because it was AD&D instead of the original versions, random dungeons were very rare as was...

Of the 9 IPs/homebrews I'm continually working on, so far I've only run 2 of them. The remaining 7 use the Mythras, Mongoose Traveller 2, SWADE, Cortex Prime or Call of Cthulhu 7 rules. And although I've run most of those TTRPGs before, I'd really like to run them with my homebrews.

I'm not schooled enough in contract law to effectively contribute. Regarding this case though, I've been told by people who know contract law, that WotC will likely fail on revoking the OGL 1.0 due to the legal concept of "contra proferentem." What it means is that the onus is on the...

Thanks for posting. I bought a copy for my son, as I'm hoping he'll someday consider homebrewing with BRP other than just with his D&D 5e and Savage Worlds staples From my memory, I seem to recall there being issues with the open license about a decade ago when Chaosium was talking about...

Contrary to popular belief, the The Witcher TTRPG is based upon Andrej Sapkowski's Witcher pentalogy and 2 anthologies, and not the CD Project Red videogame series or Netflix TV series. It was an award winning literary series in a number of Euro countries, before it ever got translated to English.

I recently ran a 4e campaign using the Fantasy Grounds VTT. My campaign was thematically titled Venturing into the Vale and was set in the Nentir Vale. It involved a party meeting at my homebrewed Twenty League House, which if you know the Vale, is on the Trade Road about midway between Five...

I should mention from the start, that the type of heroic fantasy that Savage Pathfinder represents, isn't a genre I care to run with Savage Worlds. I own the adventure you used and the Pathfinder for Savage Worlds PDFs, but they were purchased more out of curiosity to see how Pinnacle would...

This. IMO it would have to be a highly modified version of 5e to work for competitive play, or at least hold my interest for a minute as a spectator. I've run the 3rd party Conflict rules for Pathfinder 1e and those were half decent for competitive PvP skirmishes with miniatures . But not as...

When I was in my board game burying craze I kept hearing about this game - like it was some shining jewel of a game from days gone by . Then it got republished years after its original release, so I bought a copy. Wow, was I ever unimpressed. To each their own, but it's mediocre IMO and I traded...

Yeah, in terms of game mastering, that's a valuable lesson in and of itself. I'm surprised the teacher didn't split them up into 3 groups. That said, if none of the students had ever played or more importantly DM'd, that could be tricky.

My kids went to Burnaby South, but they're a ways out of high school with my youngest nearing University graduation. My son in particular would have loved this course and no doubt would have begged to be in it were it available. I appreciate the 1st nations content too. D&D hadn't gotten the...

My kids went to school in a city just west of PoCo. This is interesting and welcomed news. I was at high school and college in the same greater metropolitan area in the early days of D&D and there was more discouragement than encouragement to play - a dubious expenditure of time my best friends...

Thanks for posting the link. I'm aware of 401 Games and agree there prices and shipping rates are good. My challenge with them has been that the books I wanted were out of stock. I only discovered them in the early days of the pandemic though, so it's possible I've just been experiencing more...

Just my 2 cents...but a quality base mounted magnifying glass is a gift of gold to any miniatures painter nearing, or in, their senior years.

You're probably already aware of this, but Paizo Inc. allows you to sync your Fantasy Grounds account with your paizo.com account. Because of that, any Fantasy Ground DLC you buy for a Paizo product, you get the equivalent PDF for free. Based on what I've been told by the leads in the local...

If WotC's plan is to design it similar to the 5e DMG, then I'd prefer if essential things like magic items would also be available in a smaller/lower cost companion. IMO too much of what was in the DMG was novice and introductory and I have other publications that are reasonably system agnostic...

I'm on the wet/west coast of Canada. To put it into perspective, I bought the Traveller 2e PDFs for the Core Rule Book, High Guard, Vehicle Handbook, Central Supply Catalog and Companion and those cost me over $200 CAD. I mostly buy from one online USA retailer which is competitively priced, has...

I've been playing and DMing 5e since its debut in the Fall of 2014 and many sessions were for my kids and their friends. That said, for the past year I've been taking a leave from 5e, playing and GMing mostly Savage Worlds, CoC and Travallers. Other than Eberron, Dark Sun and World of Greyhawk...

I guess I'll have to be the reader that posts a less than positive comment. I hoped that as I read the Business Stuff section there would've been some mention of the pricing of PDF publications. Mongoose products in PDF format have from the perspective of my wallet, become so pricey that I feel...
