I do feel that if 90s trad gaming is the centre then the OSR veered off one way and fiction first games the other and while I don't think they came round quite full circle and met each other, as they clearly aren't the same thing. They definitely ended up close enough to see each other in the...

Erm .. er ...which systems do include boobies? ...just asking for a friend.

I believe the usual spoken form outside of forums where the technical jargon proliferates was always - "You know Basic, Expert, the C One - Companion or Champion or whatever, and then the others,what were they called? we never got that far as we switched to AD&D, wasn't there one where you're...

Congratulations you just funded!

I had exactly the same thing. I never go for the bells and whistles and fancy dice tiers but I'm just conditioned that they exist. It felt weirdly stunted and short.

You weren't supposed to play it you were just supposed to sit down with your mates roll/make your character whilst trying to game the skills system so you got stupidly large bonuses to combat skills, damage and SDC and picked the coolest ninja weapons. By that point it was time for your mates...

If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe...

No but he does provide circumstancial evidence for large thieves organisations as he clearly thought all the monasteries' gold and silver needed moving to his vaults for safekeeping.

Yeah some witches keep the fat on. Not everyone wants the low calorie option you know. #saynotobodyshaming.

I would have agreed with Superman II until I watched it again a few years ago. It was clear they were pushing the limits of the special effects for the time and they don't hold up well compared to the original. Also I felt the story/script hadn't held up but I can't remember details. I think...

Despite the above. I'll add this. The thing about minimalist games is not I think there is anything wrong with them - I like fairly rules lite games, but I think the support they offer to run them can be lacking. A lot have principles of play but some just seem like a list of motivational...

Hey unpopular opinion here. All these posts that are actually about RPGs are interfering with my ability to enjoy reading conversations about trip-hop and pizza.😁

I feel the cuisine of the green and pleasant Motherland is being unfairly criticised. In fact we have many dishes that are only a bit bland!

Bastion from Electric Bastionland is probably my favourite. Early 20thC technology level doesn't come up much in fantasy games. (I'm not counting CoC style games that are actually set in that there real 20th century)

I was one of those expecting Daggerheart to be more of a D20 variant a la Tales of the Valiant so I'm quite surprised they are making more of a jump. However from reading @DevL 's post about the odds and the fact TNs would be roughly convertible, maybe it's not as far away as it first appears...

You can get away with anything these days if you wear a high-vis jacket and carry a clipboard.

I haven't read the article so I can't say if I agree with it overall or not but I would say I would broadly agree with the above summary. However the topic is so broad and covers so many situations I could probably think of a bunch of exceptions. My general guideline would be - could you be...

Both good choices but the correct answer for any question like this is Brian Blessed.

That was my thought exactly.
