    A Minor Rant

    It IS possible, with careful curation, to avoid spoilers. I've managed it for a few years. But it also means I don't participate in entire segments of the online community. I used to frequent another well-known gaming forum, and it had a subforum dedicated to media. It was awful with spoilers...

    Is there demand for a “tactical” RPG akin to 4e?

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Mag of Holding, Between the Devil & the Deep, The Goblings, and more

    Any thoughts or history on Legacy of Mana? Looks like a strong maybe to me. Drop Dead City is Drop Dead BACKED. Thanks, Egg. I'd missed this one.

    TSR TSR3.5 Launches IndieGogo Campaign to "Stop" WotC

    EGGJr. just makes me feel bad for his father. I pray my kids turn out better than Jr. did. And.... They're 31 and 28, so... I already know they did. :)

    I am a better DM than a player (THREAD-O-MANCY)

    I don't know if I am a better GM than player. But I am definitely a more patient GM than player. And that probably makes me a better GM than a player. As a player, I... just really hate waiting. I completely respect that everyone gets as turn or time in the spotlight, and I never complain when...

    I'm not allowed to watch Star Trek any more

    I ditched cable years ago. I love watching TV, but I was spending hours surfing, and it was costing us more and more every month. Ridiculous prices just for "basic" cable, and then the company wants to pass on every tax they can to us, so nothing will interfere with their pure profit. So we...

    D&D General Alternative to Roll 20 for Mapping with Fog of War?

    I'll throw in my support of billd91's statement. I've had the occasional issue with roll20's connection over the last four years or so, but most of them turns out to be my end, and hooking into another service didn't help. One thing that DID help was to limit the size and number of my maps...

    An actual Chick tract was left on my door

    Someone used to leave these laying around the student lounge in high school. No-one ever admitted it, probably because of all the loud mocking and laughter... but they also kept leaving them for a while. I don't think I've seen one in the real world since then. Just discussions of them on places...

    Does anybody else experience "DM's High"?

    Why would I run these games if it wasn't making me feel good? :) But yes, it's real. A good session makes me feel amazing.

    Critical Role Tal’Dorei Reborn from Critical Role's Darrington Press

    This is how I love to use them. The party goes to a tavern, and there's Scanlan, playing one of his songs. They spot Percy and Vex hitting a famous night spot, he looking like he's only there to make her happy, she happy. You can't use them any other way with lower level parties. Maybe as...

    Medieval Fantasy Numenera Advice

    I think there's a flavor that runs throughout the book that you will have to make efforts to counter if you want a medieval fantasy game free of the super-tech overtones of Numenera. But mechanically, it would not be a huge issue. The Standard Character of "I am a ________ ________ who...

    Do you sell your books?

    I sell things in occasional spurts. Every few years I identify the items on my shelf that aren't seeing use, and I sell them. I don't take them to book stores because you get a very poor payout. Last time, I sold through another forum's buy/sell subforum. I sold about half my stuff that way, but...

    As One Million Dollar Kickstarter Ends, Another Appears!

    I see it as an investment. I started with an ArcDream project "help us [print? reprint? Can't remember] this supplement for Godlike." I didn't have it, I wanted it, I backed. My next was a friend, "Help me publish my game." It was a highly detailed fantasy heartbreaker, and I liked my friend...

    Thankfully nothing this week to drain my accounts. Avatar is already doing that. The Avatar campaign has done something I really appreciate. It's made all the pledge levels available as Add-Ons, so I can pledge the level for my wife's present, and then add on another for a friend's present...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which of the upcoming books are you most excited about?

    This. I want rules, not settings or premade adventures, or monsters, and not a book that has a few new bits and then is filled with stuff I don't want. OTOH, I was excited for the last book of rules and what a letdown that was. Tasha's Imbalanced Hodgpodge of Miscellany was sad. That said...
