    What is a West Marches game?

    Recent Fear of a Black Dragon podcast was focused on a West Marches campaign one of the hosts was running. Good stuff in there, he has done some interesting drifts from the original Robbin's method. https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/fear-of-a-black-dragon/archives/06-2025 The key to West Marches...

    What Makes A Successful Superhero CAMPAIGN

    More seriously, and mostly just adding to what folks have said so far. What kept me coming back to superheroes back in the day was the relationships between the characters. Whether it was the Jean-Scott-Logan triangle, or the deep frenemy relationship between Xavier and Max. Even the...

    What Makes A Successful Superhero CAMPAIGN

    Claremont being invoked makes me think you'll need to keep thorough and impeccable notes, as when you bring back that minor character from session 2 in session 50, and everyone's mind is blown - you'll know you'll have made it. Similarly, you'll need to keep terrible notes, because you'll be...

    RPG Evolution: Philmont Adventures - Day 6

    Love that name, the Tooth of Time, so FRPG - looking forward to the closing post! It's wild that there were staffers who are sort of larping this into a kind of Fellowship of the Ring/Fantasy novel quest thing? Hope the kid who got sick turned out ok. It does sound like the emergency support...

    Is it appropriate to post a list of games I'm selling off at a discount?

    If yes, is #Promotions the best place to do so? If no, no worries, I'll sell to Noble Knight or Wayne's Books. Just seems a shame to put a merchant in between. Thanks in advance

    In my head The North's climate pretty much matches from basically SF to Juneau, with a nice helping of Britsh Columbia and Yukon in there. But wait, does that make Edmonton the capital of the Anauroch Desert?

    Not selling I don't think, but as Shades of Eternity noted, they are sharing their setting for fREE here on ENWorld https://www.enworld.org/threads/canada-worldbuilding.705727/

    Worlds of Design: The Problem with Space Navies, Part 1

    I agree most wars are won with coffee, but defense budgets being what they are (here's your realism), probably more "powered by Folgers"...

    RPG Evolution: Philmont Adventures - Day 4

    Letting my mind wander along fantasy trails and avenues while backpacking or long hiking is a favorite passtime. I may still someday run or write my element bending mashup with Pullman's golden compass (at least the little partner critter-daemons part) rpg. Or maybe it'll just stay out on the...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Haven't read Metrophage, but I'm slowly slowly working my way through the Sandman Slim novels. Kadrey is kind of underrated I think.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    So while I was traveling, I finished Ursula K LeGuin's third Earthsea book, The Farthest Shore. I remember as a callow youth not liking it. I felt like it was too sad. But this time reading it, I took a much different message away. That in spite of things looking really bleak, you keep going...
