A Minimalist Fantasy Affair is a 2-page fantasy RPG inspired by the PbtA system and the Original (1974) RPG. It's short, simple, and the text is released under a Creative Commons license. Plus it's free (although I'd love it if you donated a few $$$)...

I liked it enough that I released a compiled errata document for it (designed to be pasted onto the end covers of the book).

Ask and ye shall receive!

I'm very excited for this RPG. Green Ronin did okay with what they had, but I feel that choosing to use the d20 STL hamstrung that iteration of the Black Company RPG.

A new "Redux" edition. Now in full color, new original art, the classic rules clarified and updated, new content, etc.

Periphery was, I think, the first science fiction RPG I bought with my own money. Purchased because some local yokels published it (I lived one town over from Lawrence and wanted to support local creators even back then). Age of Empires, though, is probably my favorite RPG system (I also like...

Eh. He put out a lot of d20 shovelware that was, I think, pretty mediocre. But he was hardly alone in that regard, in fairness. Everybody was clamoring to get onboard that d20 gravy train for several years. His original designs are, I'll admit, much better.

A new edition of this was somewhat recently successfully Kickstarted by Palladium.

I just somewhat recently acquired a copy of that, but haven't had a chance to read it yet.

I would love to see a new edition of Iron Heroes, or at least a game in that mold with swords versus sorcery, where mighty thews rule the day and magic is a dark, tainted, force favored only by those corrupted by its power (NPC villains to be thwarted). Not just a S&S RPG. We have plenty of those.

Please message me!

For me, the big thing is the objectively terrible organization of the DMG which, unfortunately, contains a considerable amount of the core rules necessary to play the game. The thing is a complete mess, which is why I love OSRIC and Hyperborea so much. They're simply better rendered versions of...

Jared Sinclair's 6e (and its many fan-created supplements). It was fabulous. I say "was" because following some controversy he apparently pulled it from sale. Anyhow, it didn't resemble any edition of D&D mechanically, but it delivered all of the core things that D&D does, simply with a...

I've had eyes on the manuscript and it's an absolute masterwork. Very evocative and the way that it adapts the Forged in the Dark rules to the setting is great. I can't wait to play it!

Age of Empire by Epitaph Studios. I'm not a fan of the designer, but I love Victorian Age adventure and the system is great (very fluid, very simple).

Having intimate sex scenes fade to black. To be fair, if the other player hadn't used it for this, I probably would have. It's one of very few things I don't like to have described in detail when I play games (the other, of course, is sexual assault).

I've seen it used in public games (e.g. convention games). I specifically address its use as a "back up" to lines and veils in the game I'm currently authoring (Black Aegis, formerly The Conspiracy).

Thanks! Yes, but with more guidance for the referee than many FKR efforts. In fact, it's mostly referee guidance. Just basic stuff, but also stuff that I feel is the meat and potatoes of running a successful game. The rules are, as one would expect, very, very, basic.

Mechanically, no. BUT the authors needlessly redefined almost every bit of standard RPG terminology within its pages, making reading it a real chore. It took me literal years to finally get through all of it. It was a true endurance test. I knew that it would be worth it, though (it won an...

I cannot get this delightfully macabre little tune out of my head...
