If I’m counting movies and TV shows I’d put Arcane, Last of Us, and even Fallout at the top. After that maybe DaDHAT. I haven’t seen Clue in ages, I should probably give that another watch. I only saw the first Sonic movie but it was fun. The Castlevania animated series was pretty good too.

What no love for the Captain Lou Super Mario Super show? Or the 90’s quasi-dystopian Super Mario movie (ok, I kind of have a weird soft spot for the latter).

Well, I’m convinced!

I’ve been having a blast playing DH and I didn’t think I would, since I’m not a huge follower of CR. My main D&D group has now switched to it from 5e. I didn’t support the Drakkenheim KS as it’s not a setting I want to play in, but I’ve been rooting for it to do well since I want to see if it...

I feel like sometimes the author had an interesting idea for a story and they got so wrapped up in the telling of it that they almost forgot they were making a game, that or their story just didn’t translate well into a game. The big pet peeve I have is when the module doesn’t have a succinct...

THANK YOU for saying that… I thought I was the only one!

My preferences tend to revolve around 2 types: a heart-of-gold scoundrel who has a lot of versatile tricks but NO magic powers. Or a tortured-by-his-past hero with a martyr complex who might make the ultimate sacrifice by the end. But since I’m almost always the GM for multiple groups I play...

I haven’t played Torchbearer but also have heard good things, but I’m also going to vote for Dragonbane. It does classic dungeon adventures quite nicely. I have one group that’s an interesting mix of very old school gamers and new, young players and it’s proven to be the nice”meet in the...

First was B/X, second was Gamma World (1E). Third was probably Star Frontiers, and then it all gets blurry with Marvel Super Heroes, the James Bond rpg, Gangbusters, and even the Indiana Jones game (that sacrificed itself to give us the Diana Jones award).

Perfect, thank you both for those answers!

Having recently gotten into Dragonbane and then backing the Invincible RPG kickstarter, I’ve been looking at other games in the Free League catalog and I’ve become curious about Mutant Year Zero. I have a huge nostalgia spot for Gamma World, but each edition is kind of a mixed bag in terms of...

I don’t disagree, but I think it helped popularize tieflings (and the way they looked in the game) to a wider audience. I know a few casual gamers who didn’t care much about tieflings until Karlach.

I’ve also encouraged varying appearances for tieflings, ala Planescape, but I think another thing that’s cemented their more modern look is BG3 and their prevalence there.

In the last year I’ve played or run games in: Star Trek Adventures Sentinels Comics Shadowdark Dragonbane Daggerheart FATE Mechwarrior Destiny World of Darkness (homebrew hack of the 5th ed system to allow Mages & Changelings) And about to start a Star Wars game (west end) Over my lifetime...

I’ll always be team Godzilla, but I have to say 90’s Gamera kicked some serious behind. Any Kaiju movie fan should check those films out.

Wow, amazing work! So happy to hear you say “No AI”.

I tend to do a lot of front-loading in my games… building the setting, creating NPCs, scenarios, and adversaries, so most of the prep tends to happen right at the start, but I’ll go with an average of 1 hour prep per 3 hours of play.

Young Burr or Older, Dr. Pepper infused Burr?

As a longtime Godzilla fan who’s run one-shots with various game engines before (from HERO to Pulp Cthulhu) I’m very interested to see what they cook up. It seems to have a focus on playing human defenders, but I wonder if it allows for PC-controlled Kaiju ala Destroy All Monsters? It looks...

Thanks for that summary of the current playtest @payn ! My Battletech group had some schedule changes and we haven’t been able to play much since the packets started releasing. I’m actually surprised TAG and Active Probes didn’t see some adjustments, since they’ve always been very niche in the...
