    Cosmere Overtakes Avatar Legends To Become Biggest TTRPG Kickstarter Ever!

    I suspect as others have said earlier in this thread I there are a significant portion of Cosmere fans buying in for collector completeness and /lore book reading fanboy purposes who may well want to try to play once they have the books but aren't coming from a TTRPG playing background and are...

    Million Dollar TTRPG Kickstarter Club

    Not disagreeing with the impressiveness of the figures the Cosmere RPG is racking up but remember this is for up to 6 books and technically two actual games sharing the same system so you would need to add the DMG and some Setting books to get a more apples to apples comparison. For good or ill...

    What is the most evocative art you've seen in a TTRPG?

    Agon (2e) must be up there. I mean look at it John Harper did the art as well as co-designing the game. To be honest I'm not sure if the game's for me but the art keeps tempting me to buy it anyway - you don't need to play me, just look at my pretty pictures!

    Please tell me (and sell me/unsell me) on “They Came From Beneath the Sea!”

    The only thing I know about the games came from this podcast interview with one of the writers. It should at least help you judge the tone and feel Not DnD They came from... I never really hear much about the games at all but I got a positive impression from listening so wish them well.

    [BoL] Any Barbarians of Lemuria (Mythic) players to answer questions?

    I've not played BoL but your post reminded me I got the pdf a bit ago on a sale and had only given it a quick skim through. So I've been giving it a more thorough read through. So thanks for the nudge. I can't help with points 1 or 4 but for 2 there is a Boon "Magic of the Sorcerer Kings" that...

    Simple, colorful mechanics to run a game for non-gamers?

    The into the Odd family of games nearly matches what you suggested. 3 stats - D20 roll under for checks but mainly used for saves to avoid badness. Actions generally work if sound within reason. No attack roll just roll damage. Damage dice vary from D4 to D12. When hp is exhausted remaining...

    Who are your favorite TTRPG reviewers?

    I'll second Quinns' Quest. I know it's new and only a couple of episodes in but I like the fact they are actual reviews not just game summaries and they are entertaining as well as informative. I would also nominate Between two Cairns podcast for weekly OSR adventure module reviews. Its Yochai...

    Memento Mori: A TTRPG about Dreams and Corruption

    I imagine it's quite hard to have a long campaign when your characters all start with the plague.

    Into the "Odd-like Games"

    Electric Bastionland I think is my favourite but I haven't been able to get a proper ongoing group going with in. It's one of my play goals this year. I'm in the Kickstarter for Mythic Bastionland as well so running that's probably my number 2 goal.

    How much does my giant weight?

    I think you're all missing the point. If this is a DnD based question doesn't the giants weight have to be measured in coins?
