    Introducing a new group to PF2 vs. 4E?

    Is A5e an option? A bit more to it. Better monster design better tools. Same basic game.

    Introducing a new group to PF2 vs. 4E?

    the online tools are accessible but you have to work through the 4e discord server to get the most out of them. One issue is VTT play. If this were a live group I’d go with 4e. If it’s an online group I’d go with PF2. There are some good suggestions out there for dealing with the combat...

    Investigate Heretics & More In Warhammer’s Gritty New 40K Setting

    Super excited. I ordered IM and have been going through the pdf. I’m waiting for the beginner box to actually run it. If I were going to give it a go now I’d use the DH 1e for setting material and adventures.

    Would definitely buy the white covers with line drawings. They pop nicely.

    Rules Light Modern RPG

    A follow up. The newest version of BRP was released this month as well. It’s the same system behind Call or Cthulhu and Runequest in addition to other games. I’d probably describe it as rules medium, but it is a solid generic system to power modern games as well as other eras. Also open...

    Rules Light Modern RPG

    Savage Worlds or Gumshoe/Nights Black Agents would be my choice. Cypher might work. I’m sure you could find a Fate as well. I’d go with Savage Worlds personally but NBA would probably be my second choice. I’ve never really looked at Modern Age but it might be an option as well.

    Who Actually Has Time for Bloated Adventures?

    Restarting my Iron Gods game this week and have decided I’m ruthlessly cutting anything that’s not (1) directly plot related or (2) adds something interesting along the way. I’ll be combing encounters so it’s not an endless string of 2 or 3 mobs per room. Enlarging the the play space to...

    Non-gaming hobbies

    Woodworking, mostly hand tools with traditional joinery. I make furniture. Mostly boxes, chests, tables, things of that nature. I have a solid cherry end table on my bench now and a large kumiko panel. I read a lot. Mostly alt history, sci fi, fantasy , and woodworking books. I also play...

    D&D General When is the last time you DMed a game?

    Usually every Wednesday, but I’m taking a break until April 12th or so. So it’s been two weeks. If my Friday night PF2 game makes I’ll run in three days.

    D&D General Which Enworlders do you want to game with?

    I’d play with @Retreater and @Reynard for sure. Our taste in games seems to align somewhat. I think I’d like the @CapnZapp experience as well. I don’t always agree with him I’d be curious to see some of his thoughts in actual play.

    Are the Million-dollar Kickstarters slowing down?

    I know I’ve slowed down and been more selective about what I back as inflation has continued to thin the bank account out some. It’s anecdotal but I imagine plenty of others are in the same boat.

    SWADE: Let's talk about the non-combat tools.

    In my experience if your hoarding the Bennies it means there aren’t enough of them in play. I’m not good about handing them out so o make sure I do it on a schedule. After pretty much every scene I hand at least one out to each player. I want them to be able to do cool things not just soak...

    Games that you haven't run but want to [+]

    Ruins of Adventure/Pool of Radiance as a GURPS mega dungeon. I’d like to finish at least one of the Paizo APs my group has started. I’ve run them in PF 1, PF 2, and Savage Pathfinder. I’d probably try and finish them in Savage Pathfinder. Blades in the Dark as a Savage Worlds hack. I want...

    Failed Campaigns

    Adulting is hard. Scheduling 4-7 people to get together regularly for 3+ hours is a challenging thing. I should grateful my group is at least regular. Moving to the VTT actually made scheduling easier for us. It sucks because generally irl gaming is better than VTT gaming but is has helped...

    Failed Campaigns

    I wish my players would give that kind of feedback. I get a chorus of 'whatever you feel like running'. Sometime I feel like there is a disconnect between the game group I want and the game group I have...

    Failed Campaigns

    I have appetite control issues combined with commitment issues. This means I plan. If things and end many of the prematurely in favor of the next big thing. Last year it’s was both Masks of Nyarlathotep in Savage Worlds. Ended with a tpk and we didn’t keep going. I will go back to it though...
