    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Magimarts

    Just like the equipment list during character creation, I think the issue is the assumptions of a lot of GMs have that these lists are shopping catalogues. They don't (or don't want to) realize both equipment and magic items can be curated to deliver a more unique setting.

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    And as far as d6 goes, there is also the Pip System.

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    For the time, I felt it the interior art was a bit gory and one picture has a girl in pretty much a dental floss bikini. I'm not prudish, but I was running a drop in/drop out rpg table at a game store so my game was more family friendly.

    Arc Dream Announces Black Company RPG

    I can't argue with that, though there are a lot of unspoken expectations with Star Wars (I know a GM who was so confused why his group wanted to play Imperials and not rebels.) And while some don't care about the lore, others do and that's a whole other kettle of womp rats when a session zero...

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    Good question. I've seen d6 go up and down over the years. At one point, one publisher who had made a whole line of d6 books had to burn them as they were going no where. On the other hand, Mythic d6 seems to be going strong enough to have Khepera Publishing keep making stuff for it. As does...

    Arc Dream Announces Black Company RPG

    Ah. I was asking as it seems that a lot of sci-fi gaming is fueled around IPs vs your standard "just tell me which forest the elves live in and lets move on" fantasy. But that's not everyone, so I was curious. I've noticed cyberpunk, though, is on a huge upswing lately.

    Arc Dream Announces Black Company RPG

    Just curious. Do you do any other sci-fi gaming beyond Star Wars?

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    By the minis design, it seems they are going with the old movies.

    Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Coming from Magnetic Press

    That wasn't my impression watching the first film. Or to me more precise, I took the orange wigs to be orangutans, the large solider types to be gorillas, and smaller ones to be chimps. Then again in the first season of the Expanse without the books, one might assume all Earthers were rich...

    D&D General D&D Live Play Dimension 20 At Madison Square Garden

    I'd like to go just once, perhaps in person with fellow audience members the energy will be different. At home on a screen, these sort of things can't hold my attention for more than five minutes. Also I usually catch the highlights on Youtube and feel like I got the best parts anyway. Again...

    D&D General D&D Live Play Dimension 20 At Madison Square Garden

    I just read a review of a Star Trek episode and I got the biggest chuckle out of a line in the review (bold emphasis mine)*: *That's a sentence I never thought I'd write.

    Dragonbane Bestiary Adds Antagonists And Allies To Your Game

    To further clarify on Monster Attacks: No same attack twice in a row - which avoids spamming by accident or on purpose. A GM can choose or roll. Many monsters have "attacks" that are not a straight up attacks giving PCs other tests other than combat And while the monsters in the chapter and...

    Into The Wyrd And Wild Makes The Woods Weird

    Just as a public service announcement, Free League now has a BRP dungeon crawler called Dragonbane (though it uses d20 instead of a d100). Its overland rules seem to be in the same vein and vibe as Wyrd and Wild as DB offers random regional encounters that feed into the local dungeon or offer...

    D&D General Converse Releasing Limited Edition Dungeons & Dragons Sneakers

    Yep. They went the way of the VW bug. An economy brand that became more of a luxury brand due to nostalgia for a lot of kids that eventual did good.

    D&D General Converse Releasing Limited Edition Dungeons & Dragons Sneakers

    Maybe my poor parents got the cheap converse, but I always remembering they were the most uncomfortable sneaker I ever wore. They had zero absorption and every vibration went through the shoes and into my feet.

    D&D 5E (2024) This Dragon Art Is From The 2024 Player's Handbook

    Why is this dragon getting a ticker tape parade?

    Dragonbane Offers A Box Full Of Classic Fantasy

    That's tricky. The box and standard bestiary is only $10 more (compared to the standard core book and standard bestiary) but you get standees, a 11 adventure campaign (which is another 100 + page book), a good sized map, card decks (for treasure, improvised weapon, and initiative), and a few...

    Dragonbane Bestiary Adds Antagonists And Allies To Your Game

    The bestiary is great and and a must have for DB GMs. Pretty much all the standard fantasy monsters are covered and so you have enough types of critters to use and reskin for most of your standard fantasy adventures.

    D&D General D&D Luminary Jim 'Drawmij' Ward Passes

    Perhaps. It may seem sudden to us but you never know. I had an uncle who had a heart attack that seemed out of the blue but all his paperwork and legal stuff was airtight. For someone who we thought was a bit disorganized, he had done some planning behind the scenes. He at least suspected...
