There is a new trailer up for Shadowrun Returns, the upcoming tactical strategy video game. It's looking good from my perspective, and I can't wait to try it out. http://kotaku.com/the-new-shadowrun-is-just-around-the-corner-so-heres-835119885 The new trailer also gives a nice setup...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdFIsypNEhI&feature=youtu.be The Gentleman Gamer is interviewing Monte here. (above) Currently live as of 3:50pm Eastern when I'm posting, I'm sure there will be an archive afterwards. Edit: just to clarify, although I tagged it Numenara, it's a general...

I didn't see this posted here yet, as I just caught it myself thanks to a Google+ post: http://www.shadowruntabletop.com/2013/07/sr4-to-sr5-character-conversion-guide-now-available/ I haven't yet looked at it, but am downloading it for printing and I'll run my Dwarven Sniper through the mill...

I've been listening and watching while I DM a 4th ed game, and now I'm joining in on a secondary campaign. Shadowrun can be, and usually is, a gritty downtrodden Blade Runner style urban fantasy, where as mentioned above you run adventures around MEGA Corps (for and against) down to the lowest...

From everything I've heard Arkham Horror can be a long 2-3 hour game, or more with the various expansions. Meanwhile I've played Elder Sign a few times, with the single expansion included, and it's been anywhere from 30min to an hour of play time. I rather enjoy Elder Sign, while it has lots...

PC Wizard to PC Wizard sharing of spells, that's up to both the Players themselves and the personalities the characters have(if any). And even then, they may require some additionals. Otherwise, it's like any other transaction, you have an NPC Wizard that has be performing spell research...

From the reviews I've read the new/old Priority system seems to streamline the creation time, so I'm curious to see how things go. My first character was built with the help of a Quatro (excel type) sheet with it taking care of the math of 4A.

A lot of folks look at the MM, and really the entirety of the core rules as a toolkit. We love to have some suggestions on monster groupings, but would prefer things a little more generic perhaps. As I wrote above regarding the environment/ecology of the Ettercap. Was the 2nd ed, 1 page...

My options for Gaming: PC - seriously the best game machines and you can match/best the performance of the coming consoles with a well built system for about the same in raw parts. (monitors, accessories not included) Both PS4 and XBOne will require subbing to their services PS+ and MSLive for...

I personally vote for well edited 2nd edition monster entries with 5th ed stats and a little of the 4th ed Monster Vault formatting thrown in, but while the full ecology write ups shown here might be a little much, or require almost a separate book, similar to the old 2nd Ed. Forgotten Realms...

In which case you're both right about Stigma/Stigmata, as it's main definition in the West derives from Christian belief in the Mark(s) of Christ from what I've read online. And a Social Stigma is a Social "Mark" ( usually in the negative) against a person/belief/group so forth. Both valid...

Oddly enough Steam just had a sale on for it earlier this week. One of those midweek maddness sales, hopefully the Summer Steam sale will be starting soon. And yup, it's still available for purchase there..

Or maybe, hopefully, the playtest packet that'll get released for GenCon... One can always hope :)

I kinda like the extra weapon die option, but am thinking of making it an exploding die, if it, that die, hits max damage, roll again, and so forth.. deadly yes, and applicable to both PC and NPC...

From the last update on Kickstarter: So, here's hoping everything goes as planned and I get my dice set and bonus die early to mid-August and can start slaying PC's with em...

http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Feature.aspx?x=dnd/feature/gencon I guess this can go here. Wizards has posted their schedule of events and related material concerning DND. Looks like an interesting time, one of these years I need to attend GenCon.

I can definitely see a use for Turn UnRead, it gets ride of the riff raff from high society functions without causing too much of an issue... Hey, that Barbarian doesn't belong at the Lord's Gala wearing only his loincloth.. Edit for Comments on the Bard Write up: Pretty cool adaptation...

For those who have local retailers, not sure if this is limited to North American ones, but if you pre-order Numenara at a local retailer, fill out a form, scan the receipt and email the results in, they'll give you a copy of the pdf via DrivethruRPG starting in the release month of August...

The Macross series were completely separate. Meanwhile the cobbled together tv series is a combined amalgam of the Macross lines, and the novels were the official treatment of the TV series. Much of what transpires in the books were written by the authors who cobbled together the TV series if...

I like Dragon Age's d6 system of maneuvers based on the Dragon Die results, giving little added effects to the player on hits.
