He’s right. The PF2 Foundry implementation is fantastic. It will do alot of the lifting for you. Even more if you are planning to run one of the PF2 officially implemented Adventure Paths. I’m currently running their official Abomination Vaults and honestly the ease of prep it totally worth...

It runs easier than it reads. I had more exciting college textbooks. That said it isn’t really hard on play. If you like short videos the How It’s Played channel on YouTube is fantastic for illustrating specific pieces of the rules from the basics up. When I’m reviewing something while...

‘Sandbox’ games and other style games that purport to allow players ‘agency’ are a fallacy. Players can only interact with what the DM/GM allows them to interact with. At least scripted games, railroaded games are honest about the experience.

that’s a bold move Cotton.

Correct. I also backed the KS. It’s not a bad cyberpunk game in its own right. It’s got some merit as a cyberpunk toolkit too.

On topic the Savage Worlds port of RIFTS is really good and actually playable. It’s still gonzo over the top but it’s actually gameable in a coherent way and fits the Savage Worlds game very well.

You have two options for this. Sprawlrunners and Interface Zero 3.0. Sprawlrunners gives you everything you need for a light game that actual SR. IF0 is on the crunchy end of the Savage Worlds experience.

I’m kinda interested in Streets of Peril. At least interested enough I’ll check out their free rules set.

I use a magnetic fry erase board from Walmart. It’s poster board sized. We have magnets with character names for party members and then blank with dry erase surface on the we can write the mobs name on.

Self hosting isn’t a huge issues. There are several tutorials on YouTube that explain it. I host through The Forge. It’s pretty seamless and it’s a flat annual fee. Send your players the game link. They log into Forge. The player accounts are free. Only hoster pays the annual fee.

we just started chapter 2. I gave my players some information about Belcorra in the context of the founding of Otari and the Roseguard. Basically just the first couple of paragraphs from the intro in chapter one, stripped of anything about her return. Now that my characters have enters the...

PF2 Abomination Vaults: Running battle equals dead ranger.

The career system is as flexible or binding as you want. I generally let my players move between careers as long as there is a sliver of narrative sense to be had. I’m other cases restrict movement into careers or between careers if it didn’t make any sense for the narrative. You can also...

4th has done a lot to eliminate the whiff factor for. Prior editions. The advantage mechanics, as well as the way the opposed combat mechanics function ensure someone is nearly always taking damage or a condition. I tend to find that way fights are fairly short, suitably vicious, and once one...

There are still ways to min/max characters. The number of options is tremendous when you consider the ability to move between careers. The game become a system mastery game if you want it to be. That said I have the most fun when I embrace the what makes the setting tick; a group of regular...

If your looking for a one shot tester I'd highly recommend Night of Blood. It's a classic.

I have to agree with everything @TheSword has said. I really like WHFRP 4e, as does everyone in my group not exclusively interested in power fantasy. I love that randomly generating characters is awarded with bonus XP. I didn't have personal advantage but next time I run it will definitely be...

Judging from the next post I'd say your right. I love WHFRP 4e and @TheSword is correct the changes in Up in Arms and Winds of Magic are great quality of life improvements.. When my Death on the Reik game resumes I'll be using them.

I’m guessing it’s a reference to Essentials. When I run 4e I drop the feat taxes and just let them have the math fix feats for free at 1st level. As I recall the online tools have the errata baked in already so that won’t be an issue. Iif it turns out you need the WotC 4e errata PDFs let me...

Savage Pathfinder an option? Tactical. Non combat characters still have a combat role. Base resolution is pretty light. Monsters are easy to tune in advance or on the fly. Minions/extras built in. Rise of the Runelords available immediate. Curse of the Crimson Theon available this year. Above...
