    What Starter Sets Are As Good As The Full game?

    The Cubicle 7 Starter Boxes for both AoS: Soulbound and WHFRP 4e are fantastic. They have pregenerates characters tied to the box set adventures. Complete setting with tons of plot hooks. They are fantastic to either run as a standalone mini campaign or as a launching point to the larger game.

    ZWEIHÄNDER Reforged: Talking With Daniel D. Fox (World of Game Design)

    I'll support this. I have the Zweihander, Main Gauche, and Blackbirds books on my shelf, in addition to a mostly complete WHFRP 4e set of books as well. The two are different for me. If I want to play in the Olde World I'm reaching for WHFRP 4e. I really like that game and am currently...

    Tome of Adventure Design from DeiceThru as a pdf. I normally run canned adventures/campaign and I’m trying to branch out with our new WHFRP 4e game. I’ve also got three kickstarters to back this month. It’s gonna be painful.

    For those of you with ADHD, how do you organize your campaigns?

    OneNote for gm notes and session prep. Lore, factions etc. it’s pretty easy to organize and link it the way you want. Google Docs for shared player documents, lore dumps, session recaps etc. Discord server for weekly posts, scheduling, between session activities like buying and selling...

    What TTRPGs have the best tactical combat rules?

    I think SWADE hit a sweet spot between tactical options and speed of play. Baked in tests to inflict conditions (think dirty tricks) that are useable to non-combat characters to help in combat is a nice touch. The games ability to handle tactical combat at scale (meaning large numbers of...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2 Sandbox or Travel Adventure

    Maybe The Fall of Plaguestone. It has some issues in terms encounter balance, it was the first thing published for PF2 and suffers from being written tandem. The encounters are overturned but fixable and a quick check of the Paizo forums or the Pathfinder Discord would probably sort it out...
