4 will be B4 The Lost City and is up for pre-order right now. 5 will be X2 Castle Amber and was announced earlier this year.

That would be great. If they could do the entire Queen of the Spiders treatment I'd love that too.

I saw this on the video Goodman Games posted during their recent online Con and jumped up out of my chair I was so excited. I've got all the OAR releases so far and am already eagerly awaiting The Lost City & Castle Amber. I hope they keep on putting these out because I'm loving them. I'm...

In your current campaign, who's your villain? I'm actually running the same campaign for two groups. Up to the present both groups have been tangling with a cult devoted to Orcus. They're currently raiding the cults headquarters in a dungeon located in the Undercity after being tipped off to its...

Thought of another channel I enjoy quite a bit. Questing Beast covers a lot of OSR content in addition to designing games of his own. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvYwePdbWSEwUa-Pk02u3Zw

I was familiar with all of these except #6, will check it out. Have to drop a recommendation for the Ennie Award winning channel of Seth Skorkowsky. He does great stuff on RPGs in general and D&D, Call of Cthulhu, and Cyberpunk in particular...

I picked this up in a recent sale on drivethrurpg and thoroughly enjoyed my read thru. I'm planning on grabbing a physical copy of the all in one hardback when it's available on their web store once more.

For talk I'd like to nominate the Spellburn podcast. http://spellburn.com/

Between this morning when I first heard about it and the time I backed it a couple of hours later it had already gone from 50k to nearly funded. This should be quite the ride.

Thank you, this is extremely helpful. I especially like the point about looking at the desired result before even approaching the mechanics. That feels very in keeping with the spirit of the system. I think I'll start by working with the player to determine what they expect out of being a were...

I should have mentioned that this will be in FATE Core. I don't have access to the Dresden Files RPG. Can anyone give a general breakdown of how that game approaches this subject?

So one of my gaming groups has decided to try out the FATE system. We've settled on doing a modern day Urban Fantasy/Supernatural setting and one of the players is considering playing a Were creature of some variety, probably a cat. I've been looking through the books and don't see anything...

I have two groups that meet each week, around 3-4 hour sessions. When I'm a player most games run around 1-2 months it seems. Usually that's the time it takes to complete what was planned. I'm the longer term GM, my games can run months or often years. My current Wednesday night DCC game is...

The only time I had a break from having at least A single gaming group going was after I graduated high school back in 97. Up to that point I had gamed regularly with the same group of friends through middle school and high school. As we all went our separate ways when it came to college we...

Glad to see a shout out already for Seth Skorkowsky, and I'll addy voice to this as well. He's become my favorite gaming YouTuber since I discovered his channel last year. He does reviews (mostly Call of Cthulhu, some Cyberpunk and old school D&D mixed in). He also does good videos on gaming...

The most important traits are easily imagination and the ability to improvise well. They are the things that allow a great GM to always keep the game moving and keep the players engaged and having fun. I'd also add enthusiasm for running the game up there as well. Players can tell when you'd...

My copy of HOL still sits proudly on one of my dedicated rpg bookshelves. I actually did run a one off with it one time several years back. My players really gelled with the style of humor that game presented.

3rd Ed's true problem comes down to math. The sheer variety of bonuses and how much you can stack upon each other to build up increasingly ridiculous numbers. It was extremely easy for players to come up with wildly disparate characters as far as power level when they were supposedly the same...

I am almost always the GM and I tend to learn the systems fairly well. I kind of have to because some of my players don't tend to want to learn the rules. Even character creation in some games like most point buy systems. Some of them just want to sling dice and be told the outcome. Personally...

I know Savage Worlds is a pretty popular system but it just does not work for me at all. I played a session or two and soured on it immediately. I especially didn't enjoy the damage system for combat. Felt entirely unfun.
