    D&D General Dinosaurs in your campaigns

    One of my favorite home-brewed RPGs (Vox Draconis by Ben Overmeyer) is basically D&D+Dinosaurs. I love it. I'd love to run a D&D game in that vein sometime. All dinos all the time.

    Tabletop creators leave X for Bluesky in droves

    Very much so. They also have a trust and safety team who cares about trust and safety. Or a trust and safety team at all.

    Tabletop creators leave X for Bluesky in droves

    I left Twitter (I'll never call it "X" no matter how much Musk wants people to) during the election thanks to Musk's election interference play (the million dollar lottery thing). That place had been getting measurably worse ever since he took over and that was just the final straw for me. I've...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    The Ghosts of TSR account has come out swinging for Ken Whitman. If you needed any more proof that whichever of the formerly nuTSR losers behind that account is absolute slime, that should do it.

    OSR What OSR System for Barrowmaze?

    I'm committed to running Barrowmaze in 2025, but am a little torn on what system to use. Labyrinth Lord is what Barrowmaze is explcitly written for, but the most current edition of that game (Advanced Labyrinth Lord) has quite a lot of errata (and has never been updated to include said errata)...

    What Property Do You Still Want to See Get a TTRPG Adaptation

    Samurai Jack as a duet RPG (i.e. one player, one game master). Bubblegum Crisis with a competent layout artist and graphic design that doesn't make me bleed from my eye sockets (the mechanics/system were fine, but the graphic design/layout is among the worst that I've seen in a tabletop RPG)...

    Best Horror Role Playing Game

    In second edition Chill, SAVE is basically Poltergeist: The Legacy (an old but extremely fun television show).

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I wish Jeff would do something like set up his own GoFundMe so I know that all of the donations are going to him directly without any of those other snakes taking a cut (of any kind).

    Good RPGs for killing Nazis

    It's currently out of print because I just sold it to another publisher, but the award-winning Nazi Killing Bear Simulator has always been well received.

    TSR nuTSR and the Defamation Lawsuit Part II: The Answer!

    He strikes me as the kind of lunatic who's willing to go broke because he's so invested in proving that he's right/superior.

    D&D 5E (2024) Why aren't you using 5e 2024?

    Because I've shifted primarily to playing non-D&D games for the time being (Vampire, Werewolf) and when I return to fantasy gaming next year, I'll be using Six-Hack (my own game), Swords & Wizardry, and the new HarnMaster: Roleplaying in Kethira.

    Release Six-Hack has been released!

    I hope that you enjoy it! It's very much forged in the tradition of OD&D and the Holmes Basic set (although it has its own unique mechanics). I had a lot of fun creating it and got to work with some tremendously talented people along the way. Also, there are a few planned additions to the file...

    Release Six-Hack has been released!

    Several months late (and missing a map that will be added later), Six-Hack has finally been released. If you backed the Kickstarter campaign at the $10 tier level, check your email inbox (including that pesky spam filter). If you did not back the Kickstarter campaign, you can get your copy over...

    OSR Barrowmaze (Introductory Module?)

    I'm planning on running a Barrowmaze campaign next year using either my own Six-Hack or Swords & Wizardry. Do any of you have a suggestion for a good module to use as a lead in to the larger Barrowmaze campaign?

    Best Horror Role Playing Game

    Over this past year, I've been having a tremendous amount of fun with Vampire 5e and, at least from a mechanics standpoint I feel that it better reinforces the personal horror (particularly the nature of hunger and the beast) than all previous editions of the game. It's really fantastic and I'm...

    GMs - Do you get bored when you're a player?

    Sometimes. A lot of it depends upon the quality of the campaign. I've been pretty satisfied with Curse of Strahd and the associated Ravenloft AL adventures, for example, but the Planescape campaign was incredibly unfulfilling (not just for me - our group took a vote and decided to drop D&D for...
