Everyone is so different- some games mentioned here I really like, and some I agree with. HATE is a strong word, but.. Dislikes 1) D20 Star Wars (1st and revised) 3.x in space and doesn't deliver the fast(er) cinematic action of the previous SW game system (D6). 2) Roll under systems that...

WEG SW is fantastic, and like you said, easy to wing it. Sounds like a great session!. If you are not aware of it, Instant Adventures is a great SWD6 product to have around if you have minimal prep time.

Yep MV:TttNV is a contender for my #5 spot

This- and If you facebook- just head over to Tim Kask's page, drop him a line and ask him-he was the (for better or worse) person who brought Psionics to D&D. He has discussed many times on his YouTube show (Curmudgeon in the Cellar) but I don't believe I recall him talking about where he got...

So I broke out my old PFB1 pawns, an old map from 4E and ran a few combats with the sample characters/adventure that Paizo offers HERE. Utilizing the Ogre encounter (only) I'm well aware it's not like running a full game session or three, but I ran it tactically sound for the most part and...

As is demonstrated here, and in a gazillion other threads since message boards were thing- the reason why WOTC is hesitant to re-publish campaign settings- None of the fans can agree about the setting itself. In complete opposition to how the CR book has been received- it seems the fans are...

Yes, the Codex is system neutral- The 5E Players Guide gives all the player facing crunch for 5E Races/Racial differences from core 5E New Subclasses and Classes New Cleric domains New/Alternate /Variant rules for skills, combat, inspiration, etc New/different types of Magic, and new spells...

Some of my absolute best adventures and games read like $hit, but at the table are magic. e.g. Moldvay's edit of B3. Often seen as a watered down intro to D&D because the beginning was re-written to a programmed adventure sequence for complete new people. I've run it a half dozen times under...

For those who reminiscing about the 2E Monstrous Compendium, AND the 2E Monstrous Manual- Here you can eat your cake and have it too- TLG released the latest print of Monsters & Treasures as 1) A deluxe version hardback 2) As a 3 ring binder with already printed sheets and with PDF files to...

So I am still working on #5- but here are the details of the 4 I mentioned in the first post (which I edited as well) 1) Dragonlance Fifth Age Bestiary (SAGA)- I am not a big DL fan, but this is the first in-depth exposure to DL that actually interested me. STAN did a fantastic job despite...

Diamond wouldn't have published such figures for previous years?

I'm getting at - How is PF2E doing compared to PF1 in years past- release year or at it's peak year of corebook sales. Not a comparison between PF1 and PF2 for 2019.

Saw someone on MEWE put up a question about what are people's top 5 monster books (any system) and why. I'll list my top 4- Those were easy picks, I'm still having a hard time deciding on # 5- once I do I'll circle back and throw out some details. EDITED- No particular order. Still unsure of...

I would guess then, that Paizo should probably be pretty happy that the 2 core books for PF2, ended being the entire year's best sellers through Diamond, despite being available for less than half of 2019. At this point I don't think the comparisons between PF2 and 5E should be a thing- Anyone...

I for one prefer such books- and the less art the better. But I know most fans like pretty.

I'm all for fresh and new**, but I don't think it would be a good idea to do it with established settings- 4E Forgotten Realms was soundly rejected by the fanbase, not only for the 4E- rules stuff, but the entire fiction of the Spellplague was horribly executed and greatly disliked. The people...

Excellent ideas. Now you just need to make a cartoon out of it with some well known voice actors to get WOTC to notice. ;)

The bit on the Tin (woodgrain box) is describing the TYPE of minis you could use the game with- i.e. medieval minis-as these were the only ones suitable at the time- there were no fantasy minis. He was marketing the game to the wargaming crowd because there was no RPG market. But there were...

I can and will play ANYTHING. Running a game, is a different story- and I have been a DM for nearly my entire gaming career. I rarely ever play. As I stated above, our original group had very different styles when it came to each of us DMing. I was more story and quick action S&S focused with...

Make no mistake- I believe every D&D game is different and every DM's personal stamp is on their games, no matter what system is used. Back in 77, our group each DM'd their own games too and everyone was remarkably different in feel and approach, and house rules. That is a good thing and we all...
