I'm just going by current CDC guidelines: You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart. I'm fairly confident we've all been very good about following the guidelines so far, masking in public, etc. We're not going to bars, we're not going to...

My entire gaming group is now vaccinated, and by the time our next regularly scheduled game comes up, will be fully immunized. According to CDC guidelines, it's safe for us to resume gaming in person at my house, even if one couple brings their school-aged child (who doesn't game with us and...

IIRC, neither Paizo nor Wizards of the Coast submitted products. One of the criteria for a nomination (to say nothing of a win) is that a publisher must submit their products.

Stories of the old west are American Mythology. Nnot to be confused with actual native American mythology, such as story tellers from the Lakota, Hopi, Iriquois, et al might talk about... like Bear, who is featured in Oneida and Algonquin myths, or Coyote, featured in almost all all Native...

It blows my mind that the suits upstairs didn't understand the value of people who design and edit games actually PLAYING games. It's not goofing off, it's research (and I don't mean that in the facetious way authors sometimes do when they try to justify 5 hours of web surfing or watching...

I guess having half the PCs die at the climax of Hoard of the Dragon Queen and the other half capitulating because they see no hope of getting out alive counts as finishing it, right? My next campaign was a homebrew Spelljammer game in which the Sword Coast was suffering under the effects of a...

Ah, I missed that. I think it all happened about the time that I moved (then my wife got cancer, yada yada yada, etc. etc.) Kind of glad I didn't try to buy it myself, then... though I would dearly love to work on a Star Frontiers revision.

I think Evil Hat bought the Star Frontiers trademark when it was available a few years ago. I almost did, but figured I'd never actually publishing anything for it.

I came here to post this. I would think it would be a relatively minor task to set this in a more modern timeframe since most pulp adventures are in the '30s and '40s, but most weapons will operate the same so you'd just need to add a few computer/tech skills and make allowances for cell phones...

That's almost certainly why they waited this long to cancel the event. The negotiations were, I am certain, fierce, in order to keep everyone from losing their metaphorical shirts.

While I voted "Nope. Didn't use psionics at all in my D&D." That's not entirely accurate. I always allowed it as an option in my AD&D games, but no one ever chose to use it.

B/X was the first version of D&D I played. One of my friends introduced me (he just had the basic set) and after a few months I somehow begged/cajoled my way into having my parents buy me the Expert set (I think it was also the only one I could find locally). We hobbled through playing along...

As much as I liked Azure Bonds, it felt a lot like a retread of the computer game, but with a different protagonist (even though, technically, it's a prequel novel--I played the game before I read the book). I don't have strong feelings about the second book, but man, did I love Song of the...

I get a sense that the Gears of Hate level is going to cause them a LOT of frustration. I'm tempted to put a lever in one of the small rooms that, when pulled, takes them directly to the atropol. It would be total schmuck-bait, but frankly, no more so than some of the other traps in the Tomb of...

I never liked the relationship between Catti-brie and Wulgar. If it'd been in a movie, I'd say the actors had zero chemistry, but this was a book so... maybe Salvatore just wasn't up to writing a believable romance at that stage in his career. I still cannot think of the crystal shard without...

I'm curious myself how others have handled the seemingly mandatory requirement in Gears of Hate that PCs split the party. It seems like the entire level is one giant puzzle and the only way to solve it is leave one character behind in the control room and hope, eventually, the rest of the group...

I ended the last session right after one of the PCs broke the Mirror of Life Trapping on level 4 of the Tomb of Nine Gods. Everything within spilled out, into a 15' square room (which I can't even build with Dwarven Forge because it's too small. Having all these creature crammed into that space...

Based on the negative reactions I've seen (which are out numbered by the positive), you'd think Monte Cook Games was the RPG Police and they're coming to shut your game down if you don't download and read this free PDF and then share it with your group and force them to abide by it. :rolleyes:

When I ran the original Saltmarsh adventure for BECMI D&D several years ago, the players burned down the house before they finished exploring the cellar. I'd planned to make the Saltmarsh trilogy the central focus of the campaign (years before WotC stole my idea :p), but I had to change course...

Most premium products have a lower-cost version available and I'm sure you know it. I would appreciate if you didn't twist my words around that way.
