Glorantha is weird. I like most aspects of the setting but don't care for others (ducks as a player race? Really?!). It was a nice fit for Runequest, though. I also recently bought the PDF for using Glorantha with 13th Age but haven't read it, yet. I think that might be a good match, as well...

Never in any of my games. Two of my regular players are smokers, though. So we have several short breaks during sessions while they go outside to smoke. It's rarely an issue since the breaks tend to coincide with me preparing a battlemap, someone looking up rules or something like that. I used...

Looking at the subject I thought this would be about the IceCube Neutrino Observatory...

That's an odd requirement for a boardgame.

In theory, yes. However, since the algorithm has no clue why I'm interested in a particular show it presents a mix of shows that e.g. have a similar name, feature one of the main actors, are from the same director, or simply share the same genre. It's just not helpful since I cannot specify...

+1. I really like the Shadowrun setting but the standard rules continue to be terrible and waaaaay too simulationist (and thus clunky). Shadowrun Anarchy keeps what's good and throws away the bad, imho, that is.

I'm still new to netflix and I have to say I really dislike how everything is based on their dubious rankings. It's really hard to find anything, since all searches appear to come up with the same recommendations. I mean, if I'm searching for 'West World' and it's not available on netflix, I'd...

I have very fond memories of the old 'Deities & Demigods' and its inclusion of the Mythos. It was my first contact with unspeakable things by Lovecraft et.al.

TL;DR;: Mearls says "current edition good, older editions bad".

Apparently, there's still some remaining problems. In this post there seems to be an embedded image that's been uploaded to ENWorld. When viewing the thread I'm not seeing anything, and when I try to post the image link into a new tab, I'm getting a cross-site hacking attempt warning. What's up?

It's seems my Firefox Quantum (ESR) browser and/or the new NoScript addin still have a problem with ENWorld :-/ If I'm entering that link into a new tab, it's reporting some cross-site hacking attempt...

I finished reading 'An Artist of the Floating World' by Kazuo Ishiguro. I can't say I'm impressed. I've read a few reviews to see if I missed anything, but apparently I didn't. After my experience with his first novel, I was reading this one extra-careful, watching out for clues that the...

Ah, I see. I only know the version that was included in the Realms of Horror compilation. Of the included adventures I only really liked 'White Plume Mountain'. 'The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth' was passable, at best. The thing is: these modules aren't any better than the adventures I've created...

Maybe it's not one of the worst things, but I consider it one of the things that distinguishes a good DM from a passable DM. As the article indicates, it's especially bad if there's long texts being read in a monotonous voice. In fact it's almost ensured the players are going to miss important...

That's pretty cool. I don't think I've seen that kind of mechanic anywhere.

Yes, I did. It's what I was trying to say in my initial post: Due to the initial incompatibility of Firefox Quantum and NoScript, I had switched to Firefox ESR. However, after the latest update in the beginning of September, the ESR version also switched to Quantum and now I have to use the new...

Dear Morrus, I'm a member of ENWorld for almost 12 years now and have been posting over 7700 posts, as is readily apparent by checking the information at the top right of each of my posts. If your 'initial guess' is supposed to be funny, you failed abominably. In fact I consider it quite...

I'm clicking on the 'Give XP for this post' entry that is shown at the bottom left of every post. When hovering over the entry, all I'm seeing is 'javascript//'. When I'm clicking on it, absolutely nothing happens. Edit: I'm currently running Firefox 60.2.0esr (64-bit). I'm using NoScript...

Here in Germany, The Expanse Season 2 is already available on Netflix. I finally broke down and started to sub Netflix last weekend. My biggest problem is lacking time, so it's difficult for me to turn a subscription into a worthwhile investment. I also consider the offerings available in...

Well, at least one widely acclaimed and popular D&D adventure module is all about a 'boss fight': Ravenloft (I6). Count Strahd features prominently as a recurring villain and it's up to the players to gather the lore and items required to eventually defeat him. It also shows quite nicely that an...
