    Which "Tactical" TTRPG Would Work Best As An X-Com Like?

    I keep going back to this idea of running a campaign heavily inspired by X-Com and similar tactical RPG video games. To be specific, I mean highly detailed grid based combat missions, with base building, gear upgrading, character advancement and some "story" advancement happening in between. (I...

    Marvel Animation’s Marvel Zombies | Official Trailer

    Watched the first episode and really enjoyed it. I am aware of the comics but have never read them (except the inspiration story from Ultimate FF ages ago). But it is a zombie story -- how much context do you really need?

    Spoilers Alien: Earth Spoiler Thread

    While I really enjoyed the finale, I would be lying if I did not say I was hoping for more resolution at the end of the season. At the rate premium TV gets made these days, it will be 2 years before we see the next season.

    Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    Hot take: there has never been and can never be a historically accurate Robin Hood story, because Robin Hood is not a historical figure. Same goes for King Arthur.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I decided to get The Rise and Reign of the Mammals by Steve Brusatte. His book The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs was very good and when I came across Mammals while searching I realized I could do with some science.

    Invincible RPG Kickstarter to Launch on September 23rd

    Some thoughts after reading through the Quickstart: FASERIPness: I don't have any nostalgia for TSR Marvel* because I was a Mayfair DC (and DC Comics) kid. That said, I think it is kind a cool nod that also seems to make sense in context. *Now Marvel SAGA is another thing. I really loved that...

    Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

    I realize that a new Robin Hood movie must be made by every generation in order to keep the Old Ones in their slumber, but did we have to cast underwear models?

    D&D 5E (2024) Class and Subclass Design: What Works

    This thread is intended to largely be from a design perspective. As such we can talk about both official classes and subclasses, as well as whatever 3PP classes and subclasses may have appeared thus far. I am interested in what you thinks works and doesn't work -- but very importantly WHY. If...

    Spoilers What do casual fans get wrong about Star Wars?

    Is there a book that is a deep dive into the philosophy, politics and compromises of Star Wars in 197x (i don't know how long it was in production)? Cause that would be really interesting.

    Are either of these assertions true? I don't know, and neither do you.

    The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer

    I HATE that you can see the "seam" in R1 where all the corporate fiddling was done. Both protagonists have unearned changes of heart. It is a blip. I love the film overall. But that bit bugs me still. I would LOVE to see a special edition re-release of R1 post Andor, which just enough...
