I'll note that these examples are either books or book series, not authors. While Tolkien is pretty much synonymous with middle earth, Wizard of Earthsea is quite different from Left Hand of Darkness, even though they have the same author. I don't think I could sum up all Ursula K. Le Guin books...

Little bit of tangent, but I've run a lot of dragons, and the tricky thing about green dragons is that poison is the easiest damage type to mitigate, at least in 2014. Protection from poison is 2nd level for a bunch of classes and doesn't require concentration. If the party has a druid or cleric...

This looks like a big red flag to me. You have every right to play in multiple campaigns, and your boyfriend should respect that. Quitting the other campaigns certainly would not make Pathfinder game more fun for you.

I'll give a quick plug for the Crystal Hearts web comic, which does a great job of introducing the Savage Worlds rules: Crystal Heart Campaign Pitch | Up to Four Players

Glad you like it! Thanks so much for the kind words!

It's more like I forgot to activate the POD option when they were first ready and just realized it when I looked a the product description after getting nominated.

Hey! That's me!

If I can pitch my own own book, I've written a setting called Broken Earth, which is available for either Savage Worlds or Pathfinder 1e.

Are you doing more prep than you need to? Yes. Is it likely that you will not use all the material? Probably. Consider another question: Are you having fun? If the answer is no, that all the prep feels like a burden, then slow down and see how things shake out before doing any more. But...

This is mostly based on my experience, but I suspect that the biggest correlations with finishing campaigns has more to do with outside factors managing time and groups that fit well together. There was a a point in time in my where I was trying different gaming groups and had a lot of games...

I find this one amusing because what actually makes sense is to not have traps. If you look at real world history, the tropes we see so much in D&D of trapped chests and trapped doors are just not a thing. It's too easy for the wrong person to trigger them, and they aren't actually great...

Thanks for the kind words!

We at Sneak Attack Press have just released Compass and Sextant, a guide to navigational tools. Heroic adventurers set off on epic quests that take them far and wide: across land, over the sea, and even sometimes through the air. But how do they find their way? By navigating, of course. While...

I think it would be perfectly easy to do. As others have said, there are other games that do the same. There are even some pros, like having a cleric able to actually remember more about religion than the wizard. I think it would be pretty easy to implement too, but just upping proficiency...

Yeah, fantasy RPG weapons require some suspension of disbelief (much like dragons being able to fly). If there isn't an actual historical weapon like that there's probably good reason. Even historical weapons are often quite different from how they appear in art. Battle axes, for example...

I like that the Lady of Pain has a clear brick underneath her so she can float above the ground.

20 Talking Treasures is now available! The powerful ring that wants to return to its master. The chaos blade that forces its wielder into a murderous rage. Magic items with a mind of their own are a staple of fantasy fiction. In fantasy roleplaying games they can add conflict or comic relief...

I think the Stormlight RPG will do very well, though I would not assume that RPG are less of a niche than fancy editions. Plus it looks like the about half the pledges are for a new "secret project" and not the fancy edition, which is even less niche. Those people just have to be Brandon...

Looks promising. But still no Ron Perlman Voice over? That seems like such a no brainer.

Keep in mind that it's a pretty abbreviated description of events. There's probably a lot more details that might have prompted. The thing I odd is that it seems like the SRD De authorization debacle is a major component, but that's been resolved now. I think there's probably just a lot of bad...
