    Cosmere Overtakes Avatar Legends To Become Biggest TTRPG Kickstarter Ever!

    I understand the feeling. Perhaps total funds is not the best indicator of greatness since front loading a campaign can skew the results. For example, e.g. Cosmere is funding for two core games, and Gloomhaven Grand Festival was also funding for second printings of Gloomhaven and Frosthaven and...

    Shadowrun 1e Reprint

    Unfortunately it's a scan (some people have noted some faint writing on some pages). And the cover for some reason does not have the same color I recall when I first bought the 1st edition of the game back in the early 1990's so I'm not sure what's going on there. I'm conflicted about getting...

    New Conan RPG

    There is a quick start available on their (Monolith's) site for those who are interested: Conan: The Hyborian Age - The Roleplaying Game - Monolith Board Games. It should give anyone interested a taste of the game. It didn't really pique my interest after reading it.

    Sell me on Warhammer fantasy rpg?

    A new and unfamiliar system is always intimidating. You have no system mastery and will end up flipping through the book trying to find a rule that does not explicitly details the exact situation you need to resolve. System mastery comes with time, and this will be true with any new system...

    News Digest for August 4, 2024

    I did take a guess that the second would be correct as the intellectual property was published by a U.S.A. company so I imagine the writers when naming the city would sound it out the American way.

    News Digest for August 4, 2024

    Google tells me two: British "si·jl" and American "si·gl". So which way is the "right" way you have just discovered?

    I first played red box D&D / AD&D. But I think my first non-D&D game was Middle-Earth Role Play.

    Draw Steel the MCDM RPG!

    It's... not very noun-like. Even the short story feels like they hammered the phrase in.

    It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City Of Spire

    So the callout on page 15 (bottom of page with title Skills - 24th page of PDF) has white text for you? Even downloading again from drivethru still has same problem. And using another pdf viewer (foxit, adobe). And using my iPad with goodreader.

    It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City Of Spire

    I'm still waiting for the 5th Anniversary edition PDF to be fixed so it displays properly for Mac users. Even using another PDF viewer like Foxit or Adobe has issues. :(

    Extensive Character Sheets Are GM Oppression

    Unless in the gameworld "Wizard" means "Hobo Who Has Been Out In The Sun Slightly Too Long" then we can make assumptions about what training the character has. For most games the assumption is that a Wizard is rather specialised and spends much time being trained in the arcane arts, almost to...

    Extensive Character Sheets Are GM Oppression

    And I think you've highlighted one issue the Wizard with Mental 15 would have repairing the wains - lack of proper tools, lack of professional knowledge. It might even be repaired, for a few moments until the horses started pulling.

    Extensive Character Sheets Are GM Oppression

    If this were true then in real life I’d be an excellent carpenter. But I cannot even saw a branch off a tree even though figuring out how a saw works is quite easy.

    Is Evil Genius Games Doubling Down On NFTs & Blockchain?

    See this is a problem. People hosting copies of the decentralised databases and synchronising them want their cut. It's not done for free. Using your NFT (oops its gone but lets say its not for this story) is not enforceable unless you have a group establishing a monopoly that says "to play DND...

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    I agree with @TheSword - the amount of books published for 4E is amazing. And its not done yet.

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    1st Edition had the “Additional Damage” rule (2E called it Ulrich’s Fury but rolling D10). When any creature rolled a 6 on the D6 damage roll, WS was rolled again and if successful another D6 was rolled to add to damage. If this roll was a 6, you then just rolled another D6 etc. I think it’s...

    A few things I really like about WFRP

    As mentioned OWB is for 2E. The Imperial Zoo is not an equivalent for 4E but it's a nice book to have. For beasties there are a few PDF-only releases and newer books. Tribes and Tribulations is a greenskin book that contains the contents of the The Cluster-Eye Tribe PDF along with orcs, trolls...

    DriveThruRPG quietly releases "legacy" URL for those who prefer the classic site look

    Drivethrurpg doesn't have Coke money to throw away when new Coke fails. I'm 99.9% sure the new site is here to stay.

    Critical Role's 'Daggerheart' Open Playtest Starts In March

    It also can be a player expectations problem. If a GM presents their campaign as one of equal mix of combat and social interactions and players choose to either build an optimised combat or social character, if the GM then always does combat or always does social scenarios then one of those two...
