    Hobby Games: It Was a Very Good Year

    I'm also surprised at the growth of the starter sets? I mean, there is a limit to how many of those are needed, right? But, good for them! And, yes, DND is not everything in the hobby. However, I thought I read on here that if it's doing well, generally, it's good for the hobby as a whole...

    Burning Questions: How Can I Add Ambience to D&D Sessions?

    I'm a mix of these ideas. For lighting, I'm older as is my group, and so having it lit so we can read our character sheets is needed. Yes, there are a few screens, and certainly I have them as DM, but I prefer lights. For music, I have just found Arkenforge. It's a good, generic version...

    Thanks again for these articles! I'm enjoying them!

    Dragon Reflections #14 - Dungeons & Dragons Divided!

    I started in '80 under my brother and he and his group were already using AD&D, so that's what I did. I also found the concept of a race also being the class weird. I think I reversed it? I didn't look down on those who played Basic but was happy I was smart enough? good enough? to play...

    Dragon Reflections #13 - How to win D&D!

    Love these! Interesting how they felt DND should be played or what literature it could help them recreate. Thanks!

    Pathfinder: Kingmaker Is An Isometric RPG Experience

    In the fwiw area, I also agree with people who are saying how good it is. After the opening, could be considered the tutorial, it's fairly open ended with how you travel. I have already found places that become important later and going back something else happens! That helps it feel dynamic...

    Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Hot Off The Press

    I had the chance to look at this at a game store and here is my quick review. The adventure seems solid. I like the idea of multiple villains as it could be done again or used for a later season. The flow of the adventure is nice. Not having a lot of 5E, do they not do this often? It...

    Dragon Reflections #10 – Snits and Orgies

    Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Hot Off The Press

    I am also tempted to get this for a sourcebook on Waterdeep, easily my favorite city in FR and one I knew the best.

    Set Your Campaign's Origin Story With A Session Zero

    Ever since reading The Dresden Files RPG, I have used session zero. Further, my group has found out if the group doesn't have connections to what is happening, they get bored and the adventure dies. Sure, they don't want to spend a lot of time on it but a session and a half to get this firmly...

    Pathfinder 2: How Do Conditions Work?

    This is my thought as well. I would rather have more rules that I can cut down than fewer rules that I have to create. Personally, after playing some M&M3E, I think I ignored conditions for too long. They are good ways to inflict something on a character without it being damage. And my...

    Pathfinder 2 - More on Dying, Resonance, & Much Math!

    Overall, I have liked what I read about PF2. My reaction to resonance has been a bit different. First, it seems to affect fluff. Nothing wrong with this but in games where potions always work, or wands always work, now that the user has to "align his magical energies with the item to use...

    Looking Back At The Alternity Role-Playing Game

    I agree with both but I want to also point out what it did for skills. One of the aspects of the skill system that I really liked was something called Rank Benefits. As you got to certain ranks in skills (which are capped at 12), you get certain beneifts. Sometimes it was a bonus to figure...

    Looking Back At The Alternity Role-Playing Game

    I also think Star*Drive had some good things planned, or hinted at, and it was too bad they never got a chance to do more. I don't mind making up stuff for my games, and made up a spell system for it, but do wonder what they could have done with only two or three more years worth of releases...

    Looking Back At The Alternity Role-Playing Game

    Alternity is still in my top tier of games. To make sure I could play it, I ended up getting eight extra PHs via eBay or garage sales so that I could give one to each player. I wrote up my own spell rules. I modified Red Dragon's excellent fantasy stuff for my own. I used Squad and Hero Lab...

    Syrinscape

    5 out of 5 rating for Syrinscape I keep reading how there are a lot of free sound boards out there and that paying for something doesn't make sense. If that's you, okay, great! I'm not someone who can make sounds or soundtracks. My attempts to have background music usually meant playing my...
