Lots of things, most of which are Living Greyhawk, Pathfinder Society, or Renegade's organized play adventures. In addition, I've run The Sunless Citadel at least three times and Forge of Fury twice. The Pathfinder 2nd Edition Beginner Box I've run four times, and the ALIEN Starter Set twice...

John Warden, Toy Design Director for G.I. Joe and Transformers, reports on his Instagram that he was laid off from Hasbro.

I recommend you take a look at the Flow with dice in the design blog, if that's more to your liking: summer09 Of the rulebook's 244 pages, system, including character generation, combat rules, experience and task resolution, takes up about 45 pages. The rest is setting and some tremendously...

Excellent! I hope you will not be disappointed. Also, there's a version of Flow with dice on the Burger Games design blog. summer09

More or less. Here's a short example of how a fight might go. There are no set combat rounds as such - the challenges change as a fight progresses, and most fights will probably be over with a single challenge, which may take anything from three seconds to several minutes. Enemies that are hit...

There are two parts to any task, be it winning a firefight or getting through a locked door. These are the idea and roleplaying. The idea part is where the player describes how their character will go about the task, and the roleplaying is in how well this fits their character and how the player...

The Stalker roleplaying game has finally been released in English. Originally written in Finnish and released in 2008 by Ville Vuorela, the game is based on Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's classic science fiction novel Roadside Picnic and published by Burger Games. It is the first game to feature...

Can you use an optional material component, such as a Varisian idol (from the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide) with a spell-like ability (such as the summoner's summon monster ability)?

Yeah, they're originally from City of Strangers, the ancient race that built Kaer Maga.

I must add to my previous post, for I sorta accidentally bought more stuff. Elhendi - a Finnish roleplaying game from 1993, written by Nordic, the father of Finnish roleplaying. Actually, it's an updated version of an even older RPG called Rapier. It's your run-of-the-mill D&D-ish fantasy...

Everway - an early Christmas present from a friend. It's a crime how I haven't yet had time to read its booklets from cover to cover, but it is a fascinating and beautiful game. This is a mid-90s diceless storygame designed by Jonathan Tweet, released by Wizards of the Coast and bought by pretty...

I just keep track of the dates, using the Golarion calendar from the Inner Sea World Guide and note down the dates of each session on the session's page in our campaign wiki. It's occasionally relevant if the party's allies suddenly decide to have a religious festival or the monsoon season begins.

Are there really letters in the one in the middle? I can read the other two when I know what I'm looking for, but with the one in the middle I'm not even sure what I'm looking at.

The truth is far worse - they're from a SomethingAwful thread that as far as I can tell is dedicated to mocking and trolling game forums and blogs. They've been at it for some 40,000 posts now, and just keep getting classier.

Soneillon was described and statted out in the Forgotten Realms sourcebook Champions of Ruin. Astaroth got toasted by Gargauth at some point in the past and is now a vestige, as described in "Savage Tidings: Gazing into the Abyss" in Dragon #357.

1. Around 15 years. 2. Of D&D and its close relatives, I've played Red Box, AD&D 1E, AD&D 2E (ran a two-year campaign), 3E (several campaigns), Pathfinder RPG (three campaigns), 4E, Spycraft, Sláine D20, D20 Modern, Star Wars D20 Revised, Star Wars Saga (one campaign), Babylon 5 D20, Labyrinth...

Ah, I forgot to mention FVLMINATA. It's a roleplaying game set in an ancient Rome where they figured out black powder. They have guns in ancient Rome! I thought the system, where the characters are defined by their humors and Roman virtues like gravitas, was pretty nifty in its own way.

Conan the Barbarian Battle Royale Seven Samurai

Of course. Some things never change. I saw this last night with a bunch of friends and greatly enjoyed it. Hemsworth does a splendid job, as does everybody else. The only real complaint I have is that the Warriors Three and Sif felt underused. Apart from that, it is a pretty, funny and well...

I am cautiously optimistic. While I have abandoned all hope of seeing a good Conan film, this may yet turn out to be a fantasy action movie worth watching, and there's never too many of those. This trailer looks pretty, though I think there wasn't enough Momoa's acting in it.
