Geek & Sundry's Eric's TBD RPG just switched to the game and the first episode aired last night and the system looks okay. They spent more time on the story than actual rolls. First roll wasn't until maybe 30 or 40 minutes in. (Edited because I didn't see that there was another page.)

Right? I'd have thought they'd charge $17.01 for the PFD. ;)

Hrm. I thought this was going to be an actual list and wanted to see where certain games fell (though I wondered if there are actually a hundred different games worth putting on a list). The article is still a good read. Ever since I got into role playing games, I always worry that when I'm...

Same. But with my group, they also double as dice for the various old World of Darkness games that get run. I liked that L5R capped at ten dice and carried over any additional dice that would be rolled as a bonus to the roll. I can understand FFG using this new system and fully expect them to...

If you're spending more than five minutes discussing what your advantages or threats or despairs or triumphs do, sure, it can get annoying. I've been in a FFG Star Wars game that my group has played in (not every week) for over two years. Usually the GM comes up with the idea of what those do...

Regarding the different-symbols-and-need-to-buy-new-dice thing... The dice are still color coded. All the good stuff are on the blue, green, and yellow dice. All the bad stuff are on the black, purple, and red dice. And I mostly came here to post about FFG's lack of an L5R rpg. However, I don't...

This is one of the stupid things plaguing Twitch and Youtube when it comes to gameplay videos/let's plays. 'Sure, it's absolutely fine that you can show our video game and how it plays but we'll bring down an ungodly s--t storm on your heads if you let the music in the game be heard!' Or maybe...

I would definitely read that article. Fair enough and a point I won't argue. I've enough personal experience with a multitude of systems to have gained an idea of what works and doesn't work in a given system. Agreed on that. Also, I LOVE that someone has gone and played/run a game based on...

I personally don't understand the hate (strong word, but I couldn't think of anything else) towards class/level-based games. Leveling I can understand to a degree; you gain enough xp and you ding a new level and suddenly you're so much better than you were before. That's jarring and unrealistic...

If you're working with a team of five or more, it can be a good way to go. But if it's just you and a friend (or just you), if you have the setting already thought up it can be much easier to take an established system and make it fit the setting than it is to spend time creating the system...

D20 comes close, though. So does GURPS. And Fate Core. And others, I'm sure. I think the reverse of that statement holds true, also: No setting works well for every system. The space bounty hunter game I'm working on is going to use a heavily modified D20/D20 Modern system. Could I easily make...

Yeah.... I'm out. The base book is $60 by itself and the GM screen is an OUTRAGEOUS $40! For a freaking GM screen! I'm done. This game is no longer going to be on my list of games to acquire.

The current wave of Paizo stuff (primarily Starfinder) makes me want to get into running their stuff so that I can get some sort of play with it. I've made my feelings clear about the Star Trek boxed set on the other thread. And Torg coming back... Makes me wish I had money so I could back the...

The things for me that are a huge turn-off are mainly the price the and the inclusion of the minis. The minis are totally unnecessary and are barely generic enough (for Federation, anyway; Romulans and Klingons are nothing but generic) to fit player needs for those groups that want to use tiles...

Freaking kidding me with that price tag? The Invisible Sun game by Monte Cook is roughly $200 (going by the kickstarter pledge levels) and includes about the same amount of things. I'd have been willing to scrape up $150-$200 for this, but at $380, forget it. Let the Trek fans with ridiculously...

In my opinion it's worth it. I have everything already so I know. :) Now... Is Ruins of Azlant going to tie into Starfinder possibly? Starfinder has the Azlanti Star Empire, after all.

Sounds like it could be a bit of both. Like playing through the story in a Grand Theft Auto game. Horror games don't interest me much, but the personality this game seems to have piques me curiosity.

Jester, if you want demon lords, there's always Shadow of the Demon Lord. ;)

Considering Starfinder has rules I need for space combat and the fact that I think setting looks cool, I definitely feel the need to get this.

I'm going to guess limited in numbers. Top right and bottom left are the same female Romulan but from a different angle. Same for top middle and bottom right.
