Is it a Wayne Reynolds piece?

Saltmarsh will give you good adventures on or near the ocean, if you're going to have a sea coast or a large lake.

(apropos of nothing Whizbang, are you going to the local con over Prez day weekend? I'll be playing RPGs in Games on Demand all day Friday there. Feel free to respond via DM)

Rincewind is not great, but man I love the Luggage. I forget what that trope is called, where the apparent main character is a doofus, and is consistently saved by their ruthlessly efficient sidekick - but it's one I like. Jeeves and Wooster, Wallace and Gromit. Surprisingly, not mentioned on...

I was visiting San Francisco this weekend, and my wife and I needed a quick espresso. We went into this place on a Sunday afternoon and IT WAS PACKED. Every indoor table full of people playing board games, and even on a chilly day, a few tables outside had some folks. 50%+ of people presented as...

Found my post from last year: 1. I did start this game, and we did end a mini-campaign, although I think it was only 3 sessions plus an additional session 0. Then one son moved away, nephew moved away; and while I invited a new friend to play, the inertia wasn't there to continue. We played...

Thanks Darryl - hope your health challenges are on the mend!

I have literally hundreds of games in pdf and dead tree that I wish more people played. But underrated? I don't know - they are obscure indie publications that may really only appeal to a small subset of the minuscule percentage of people who play RPGs compared to the general populace.

Oh I know what keystone means. I'm hard-headed, but I did learn some of the retail lingua franca during my 16 years in hobby retail... I was responding to this quote: I was wondering if the person who said he's never seen a game retailer charge keystone. Because to me that's just a ridiculous...

Lucky for me - the '81 box set is the one I own. I love that there will be 3rd party stuff for CT on DriveThru soon (now?). Signed up for the newsletter.

Dan von Zarovich - least of Strahd's scions

I do love that cover, and look forward to hearing about your nomad's adventures.

I believe it's a hack of Blades in the Dark, which some may argue is a hack of PbtA Setting definitely awesome. Someone gifted me the kickstarter HC, and it's a work of art in and of itself - even if it is landscape orientation.

Questions: Judges Guild and FASA Classic Traveller material back in the fold? Classic Traveller Pirates - 1977 or 1981 rules set? In general suggested best way to stay on top of product announcements? In particular interested in Classic Traveller releases - even Pirates, much as I hate pirates...

Great idea, I look forward to the responses

Maybe a dumb question, but why does the cosmology matter? How does it impact your game at the table, at least at the beginning - and even later? As noted in the quote from the DMG24 above, the way to get to various planes is through gates or floating on the Astral Sea. The "spatial" relationship...

Are we talking yet bout how in 2014 5e (not sure about 2024) there isn't a special feat for rogues specifically for finding traps? It's not actually called out anywhere specifically afaik - maybe in the detail section on Investigation checks?

What do you mean when you say "keystone"?

Lloyd Brown's a good one, smart guy, I remember him from the various proto-social networks game retailers were in back in the day (does anyone remember delphi forums? Ah, memories...)

What country are you in? That makes a difference. Gary Ray has done ok for himself: https://www.amazon.com/Friendly-Local-Game-Store-Middle-Class/dp/0981884075 I sold my store in 2006, so my info is old old old. Just remember - inventory on your shelves doesn't feed your family - CASH IS KING...
