    Which RPGs did you play in 2023?

    Oh man, The 13th Fleet, that's been so tempting but I haven't got to it yet. Glad to hear you had a great time with it. I should check if they are going to be making it out to Game-Itoba at the end of January. Let's see what did I play? Ran a couple games of WILD: Wake Initiated Lucid Dreaming...

    BitD Fantasy or best FitD game to play fantasy? Tell me about it!

    The one I am aware of is "Sig: City of Blades." This is a planescape like setting "where eternal planes and infinite primes meet." You pick one of the 5 major factions and help them increase their power and influence. You are "clever spies, renegade sorcerers and reckless smugglers." You can...

    Gary Gygax's The Hermit kickstarter is almost over!

    I have it sitting on the shelf behind me, but I never played or ran it. It's right next to 1e Temple of Elemental Evil, got The Hermit from my local FLGS. It suffered from the July 2002 release date a little (edition change) and apparently my copy was printed here in Canada. I think it's one of...

    What dead game would you resurrect?

    I'd buy those. Now to read the PDFs! Fight to Survive is a mundane martial arts game. It and Ross Rifles (Canadians in the trenches of world war 1) both sell quite well for us. Shadows of the Past is a brand new historical game. I am very fond of Centurion: Legionaries of Rome. Lonely Timbers...

    OSR The Monster Overhaul

    The 2nd printing just arrived with us (Compose Dream Games) and our pre-orders are already out the door. As noted before, we get them first because they are printed here in Canada. I should really make sure to get one for myself this time around . . .

    TTRPGs with simultaneous instead of turn-based combat

    For some reason this discussion really makes me want to try and adapt some form of "real time" action like in Space Cadets https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/142079/space-cadets-dice-duel to an RPG. Each player rolls specialized dice at a furious pace and assigns them to parts of the ship...

    TTRPGs with simultaneous instead of turn-based combat

    I feel like I should add that in Hackmaster's count up system you can always change what you are doing. -- Want to change your position to benefit and ally? Go for it (this may push back your attack by a second). Want to abandon your current strategy/weapon/spell to go with a different one? Go...

    Worlds of Design: Single RPG Conventions

    Well . . . isn't that a small world that I would respond to your thread with this specific fact? I've participated in the tourney twice I believe. It's a great game. Been attending CanGames almost every year since 2010. It was a tradition there well before that.

    Worlds of Design: Single RPG Conventions

    CanGames has sort of made the choice to stay small. It's more important to them that they run each year in the same place and provide some of the same experiences (i.e. a tournament of the Britannia board game each year) than they grow. It's my home con and I love it. CanGames, Terminal City...

    Worlds of Design: Single RPG Conventions

    I thought AmberCons would get mentioned somewhere by the OP. These are the only "one game" specific cons I have heard about repeatedly. Haven't been to one though.

    Worlds of Design: Single RPG Conventions

    Canada -- BreakoutCon (Toronto), Terminal City Con (Vancouver), CanGames (Ottawa - since 1974), Phantasm (Peterborough - smaller but at 30+ years and very RPG centric) Ragnarok XP is pretty new in Waterloo area. I'm going to TabletopYYC in Calgary this November it's new. I haven't been to...

    (+)Do Any TTRPGs Do Dueling Really Well?

    I opened this thread and thought I may mention Fight to Survive: Martial Arts meets Heart and then the first reply was this; and I definitely had to. Fight to Survive uses a sort of rock/paper/scissors style - certain moves trump others and for others you "tie" and compare technique ratings to...

    RPG magazine question

    I had a pretty old thread on enworld here asking this question once . . . The one I am most aware of is Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine. It is about 50% comic. But it is at the same time 100% a print gaming magazine that has been going for 306 Issues. Nice to know about Oracle.

    OSR The Halls of Arden Vul deal of the day at drive thru.

    As far as I am aware, they have only been available POD. If there was a print run, we (Compose Dream Games) would probably have some. It's a fascinating huge book. The volume 4 alone is effectively a monster manual + new magic item and technological item compendium. If you missed the drivethru...

    OSR The Monster Overhaul

    I believe all three of us (IPR, SoulMuppet, and Compose Dream Games) always bundle the PDF. I also know both IPR and us (Compose Dream Games) encourage publishers to join bits-n-mortar, so that if you get it at a retailer you are entitled to a PDF. We (Compose Dream Games) extend that...
