You make a compelling point in that last paragraph. I ran PF2E for 3 years and found it very GM friendly, but stopped mainly because I have players who just burned out on it. One of my cohorts took up the mantle as GM and I played the first couple APs he ran as a player, with the third one...

Level Up! is really neat. I picked up the entire set earlier in the year and was very impressed with it. That said, I am also backing Tales of the Valiant. It's a good time to like D&D-styled stuff but maybe not be a WotC fan.

I'll be the lone voice of dissent here and state that there literally dozens of us out in the gaming community who do not think fewer skills = better game. Just saying! I much prefer my BRP/CoC/GURPS/old school Interlock systems to contemporary streamlined and flavorless/skill-less systems...

If it helps any, Abomination Vaults is one of the earlier APs that breaks a lot of people. You might more recent APs to be a better experience.

I ran Starfinder for a few years, enough to decide I do not like it, but only one item on your list is correct (no SF version of Golarian.) The rest is....well: it has too much fantasy in space for my preference; it builds a SF universe that doesn't seem to account for the huge amount of magic...

So many other things to comment on, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't talk about any future plans specifically for Pathfinder 2E and Starfinder, I guess the only info to know is already announced and in the works?

It's a boon if you're the Seattleite moving to that state, but as my own state is learning this has dire consequences locally. In New Mexico the average median household income is lower than a Seattle single income (source), but housing has skyrocketed to unaffordability for locals because of so...

Yikes! My offices were identified as critical services, so it never closed and we kept a rotation on staff (about 50/50) working from home and office. That changed back to a 90/10 split about a year and a half ago. Last COVID outbreak was me, the last one in the office to get it, as of November...

Those are probably the states where Paizo has the business license/Tax set up to work. I have had to do the same for specific states with my own company when we've had remote workers cross state boundaries in the past. When a remote worker is in that specific state, the company is now paying...

Mothership and Death in Space are both decidedly "Dead Space" emulators (as well as SF horror genre emulators in general), but with the specific IP shaved off.

I've been noticing solo RPGs have been proliferating lately. I wasn't really sure what these (and solo journaling) were about, given it seems like there are more gamers in the hobby than ever, but I recently snagged a Death in Space module that can double as a solo game experience and it was...

from Modiphius's listing: Available in four different covers inspired by your favorite Star Trek eras: the original series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine/Voyager, and Discovery. The interior content is the same for each version.

Greece was subject to waves of invasion and integration. The Pelasgians were overrun by the Mycenaeans, and in turn the sea peoples likely overran and integrated with the Myceneans, who were effectively gone by 1100 BC to be replaced/transformed into the more "contemporary" Greeks such as the...

I've run campaigns in this time period (using GURPS and BRP). I advise anyone interested to take a look at Eric Cline's 1177 BC which is a great book in and of itself, as well as Dodson's Amarna Sunset. The specific time during Akhenaten's rule is especially interesting (and well documented)...

My only disappointment with this sort of sale is that I already have all their stuff!

First....ugh, I'm in the 7% right now, not too far from the 2%ers on that chart. OMG. (EDIT: another way I can look at that chart: 78% of the people here are young enough that I could be their dad or granddad. Various curse words are forming in my mind). Second: I wonder if there's a way to...

This article has more merit than some may realize. I would like to note that, as an example, while I really enjoy role playing games and have made that a lifelong hobby, my interest in boardgames is all but nonexistent. I had some interest in a few when I was young (Civ, Ogre and Amoeba Wars...

Exactly! I used cell phones to great effect in a recent modern day Call of Cthulhu campaign I ran when it turned out that the phones were the only way to see and hear the monsters that a cult had summoned, really freaked out the players. They figured it out when they'd see something break a...

Alignment is core to D&D, which operates on implied objective morality universes where there are very real heavens, hells and gods who dictate an axis of morality....but the new Pathfinder is seeking to most definitely not be D&D so I am cool with whatever they decide to implement.

If I have learned one thing in this thread, it is that I know nothing of Judge Dredd.
