    Osprey Games RPGs - What's that all about then?

    They’ve done a few great games, worked with some great people, but also platformed some less than great people. I have their noir RPG, Hard City, at my elbow. Tomorrow City, their dieselpunk RPG, is on the shelf across the room. And Untamed Worlds, their brand new uplifted animals military...

    D&D General What is your favorite d&d world's one unique thing.

    Can’t pick just one. Dark Sun. Too many unique things to count. But most of them stem from either: metal is scarce, magic destroys the environment, or psionics are commonplace. Spelljammer. D&D…in space! Al-Qadim. D&D…in fantasy Arabia and North Africa. Mystara. Again, too many unique...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    You’re right by RAW, but I don’t see why a referee couldn’t spend a fear to gain a bonus based on a PC’s experience. Or give a penalty to a PC.

    Book cover ink removal?

    Thanks. I happen to have some of those. It worked great. Like 99% of the ink came off. Only a slight discoloration remains in a few tiny spots. Cheers.

    Book cover ink removal?

    I'm not sure if it's possible but I thought someone here might have an answer. I have a few old modules and splatbooks from the late 80s and early 90s that I picked up secondhand. Someone X'ed out the sku / barcode on the back with a marker. I'd like to remove the ink if possible without...

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    That does sound great. I had pegged Hot Spring Island as a Pirate Borg sandbox, but all of them would be great with Dragonbane.

    D&D General What alignment are you?

    Chaotic Good. On the question of law vs chaos on the human scale, most laws exist to benefit the powerful few at the expense of the masses. Screw that. On the question of law as civilization vs chaos as nature, it’s chaos and nature always. If it’s cosmic law vs chaos, law ends in...

    “Really narrative D&D” - a new RPG genre?

    I think there are common threads, but most of them are narrative fantasy games, not “D&D but narrative.” The designers are smart enough to tie into or reference the super-massive black hole at the center of the RPG galaxy. For example, LitM. It gives me zero “D&D but narrative” vibes. It’s a...

    What constitutes a "hit" in your mind?

    Depends. Is it modern D&D with massive piles of HP? Then it's luck and energy. Is it old-school D&D or a D&D-like? Then it's actual blood drawing contact. Otherwise it depends on the genre and the system. Toon? You're squashing and stretching the toon until they fall down, but they get back up...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    We were the same for years. The trick that worked for us was instead of storing leftovers in the fridge, store the cooked components in the freezer. Defrost and reheat the individual bits and combine them. For example, we do a chicken tinga with rice. Make the tinga and freeze pre-measured...

    Thanks, but no. I'm not touching anything DCC or Goodman Games related after Goodman's about face on working with bigots.

    Tie it into Pirate Borg and you can have undead bard ashes you snort for psychic powers.

    Not sure why you’re so hostile towards Ben. If we’re talking about things that aren’t a good look, that’s a place to start.
