If only I hadn't sold all my Starfinder stuff. I enjoyed the world a lot; but the pathfinder rules set as expected was a bit much for our table. I think our group would love a slightly stripped down version, maybe even simpler than 5e. We also found scaling equipment to be weird. Like, I had to...

threadbust, but you know which two authors have unfortunate names? Robert Charles Wilson and Robert Anton Wilson. That said, I guess there are a lot of famous Robert Wilsons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wilson Noted of course that it was Robert Shea who was fortunate enough to have a...

Yup, what Micah Sweet said. The free version of Stars Without Number I bought was missing a few chapters in the back. The Drive thru page outlines for Cities wihtout Number, but a simple copy paste and here you go: What you get in the deluxe that you dont get in the free:

I mean, even getting one would be a good start, right?

When I owned my store, I was able to live a middle class life, and my wife didn't have to work. I was very lucky however in that the first year I bought my store, Pokemon TCG came out in the US, and I had contacts in Japan, and I was able to gross a very surprising amount of money, enough I was...

Yup, my son lives in Inner Sunset - city enough to be city; but not so city to be overwhelming. He goes to SF State, she works downtown - so it's a perfect spot for them. and perfect for us his parents - we get to go visit him there!

Is it a Wayne Reynolds piece?

Saltmarsh will give you good adventures on or near the ocean, if you're going to have a sea coast or a large lake.

(apropos of nothing Whizbang, are you going to the local con over Prez day weekend? I'll be playing RPGs in Games on Demand all day Friday there. Feel free to respond via DM)

Rincewind is not great, but man I love the Luggage. I forget what that trope is called, where the apparent main character is a doofus, and is consistently saved by their ruthlessly efficient sidekick - but it's one I like. Jeeves and Wooster, Wallace and Gromit. Surprisingly, not mentioned on...

I was visiting San Francisco this weekend, and my wife and I needed a quick espresso. We went into this place on a Sunday afternoon and IT WAS PACKED. Every indoor table full of people playing board games, and even on a chilly day, a few tables outside had some folks. 50%+ of people presented as...

Found my post from last year: 1. I did start this game, and we did end a mini-campaign, although I think it was only 3 sessions plus an additional session 0. Then one son moved away, nephew moved away; and while I invited a new friend to play, the inertia wasn't there to continue. We played...

Thanks Darryl - hope your health challenges are on the mend!

I have literally hundreds of games in pdf and dead tree that I wish more people played. But underrated? I don't know - they are obscure indie publications that may really only appeal to a small subset of the minuscule percentage of people who play RPGs compared to the general populace.

Oh I know what keystone means. I'm hard-headed, but I did learn some of the retail lingua franca during my 16 years in hobby retail... I was responding to this quote: I was wondering if the person who said he's never seen a game retailer charge keystone. Because to me that's just a ridiculous...

Lucky for me - the '81 box set is the one I own. I love that there will be 3rd party stuff for CT on DriveThru soon (now?). Signed up for the newsletter.

Dan von Zarovich - least of Strahd's scions

I do love that cover, and look forward to hearing about your nomad's adventures.

I believe it's a hack of Blades in the Dark, which some may argue is a hack of PbtA Setting definitely awesome. Someone gifted me the kickstarter HC, and it's a work of art in and of itself - even if it is landscape orientation.
