    Homebrew Frostgrave as RPG?

    Longtime Frostgrave player, but today I'm here posting about RPGs. More specifically, using Frosgrave as a RPG. Now, the earliest editions of D&D didn't have explicit rules for non-combat action resolution, so using Frostgrave in that capacity should theoretically be possible. I know there are...

    Name an TTRPG You Really Like But Have Never Played/GMed

    Because computer games aren't VTTs or tabletop RPGs. There's an appreciable gulf that still exists between the two. A gulf composed of meat.

    I don't think so.

    Name an TTRPG You Really Like But Have Never Played/GMed

    It's ridiculously crunchy. For example, in Phoenix Command, as I recall, there were rules to calculate trajectories of individual bullets fired. I recall Living Steel being less unhinged, but still pretty complex (I think a VTT could probably handle Living Steel, but not Phoenix Command).

    Name an TTRPG You Really Like But Have Never Played/GMed

    I've weirdly run RM1, RM2 (Classic), RMFRP, RMX (Rolemaster Express), and MERP 1e. I really like Express. Instead of front loading everything like other editions of Rolemaster, it strips out all of the options, starts with a very simple core, then adds options back in via a series of 'zine...

    MERP 2e. I've owned it multiple times over the years, but could never find a group of people willing to give it a chance.

    What's the most efficient way to plan a one-shot TTRPG adventure?

    From my latest publication (A Minimalist Fantasy Companion). Don't worry. The entire text is released under a CC license. :) This is the system that I use for creating quick one-shot scenarios. An Autumn Feast is the sample scenario included with A Minimalist Fantasy Affair (which you can get as...

    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    I like the original D&D alignment (law/chaos axis only). It very much channeled Moorcock's fiction and presented law and chaos as actual factions existing in the world to be... uh... aligned with. With the introduction of the good/evil axis, alignment shifted to being more of a behavioral...
