Decide if I actually want to run the two short-run games and the one long-term game I have in mind, or if I just like thinking about running them. :) Spend more in-person time with some of the folks in my gaming group other than on game night.

Do NOT get me started! 😅 TPTB need to ask themselves if it's because they're making bad superhero movies or because of factors beyond their control. They will reliable blame the wrong thing(s), i.e. not themselves. Are there any DC movies on the horizon between Aquaman 2 and Superman: Legacy...

Saw it last weekend, and i agree with the comments that the humans character stuff really works, making this more than just another kaiju movie with some humans running around in it. Also, there seems to be some rewriting of Godzilla's origin going on, but I won't get into spoilers.

Interesting question! Supers. I'm always on the lookout for my next favorite supers system. I want to play them, but if I want them to happen at all I usually have to run them. I love superhero comics, always have, and always will, so getting to jump head first into that milieu is always a...

We might just barely be able to afford visiting our daughter before or after the class in Greece next year that she just got accepted to in addition to our long-scheduled Newfoundland trip. Probably not, though. So...I'd pay someone to sort through and get rid of most of our stuff, so I can...

Yeah, I realized this about an hour after posting! :D

When a year passes with no major studio releasing a super-hero movie, we'll know. Or maybe when Marvel releases only one in the course of a year. I think instead of dying we'll just see more variations. Maybe they will settle in as just another common genres like war movies, spy thrillers...

I actively disliked 4E at the time - mostly because of the relatively heavy tactical focus - but since then I've grown to like a lot of things about it. In light of 5E - which I'm not knocking, because my group has a great time playing it, weekly, for 6 years now - there are 4E things that seem...

I've backed Lineages of the Long White Cloud just to support those folks! The backer levels are very low price-points!

At it's bare-bones core, it might be my favorite traditional rpg ever. Everything there works and makes intuitive sense to me.

All of Arcane Library's products are a delight to my ADD brain, organizing things simply and clearly, with bullet-points and one-page or two-page spreads per topic. SD follows the same approach, and this is one of its strong-suits for me. I find the way a lot of adventures and rulebooks are...

Mercenaries, Spies, & Private Eyes

I like your system, @strawbellebelle ! The requirements are simple, and they apply to any weapon that meets those broad requirements. It's simpler than the (not yet quite) official system.

Thoughts: So it's not just nostalgia: the early '80s really were a golden age of D&D!!! I'd forgotten just how big Greyhawk was. Comparing modern numbers to these would have to include considerations for general increases or decrease in book sales, tabletop game sales, pdfs, etc

As neat as the martial arts option could be, rules for athletic games is something I haven't seen much of and would be a handy thing!

As a note: I have no involvement with this project, other than the creators - Cloud Curio - have a local brick-and-mortar store, and I have enthusiastically backed this Kickstarter. Monstrous is basically a system-neutral monster sourcebook, emphasizing "flavor and narrative impact", with rich...

Could it be a post-GenCon, -Origins, etc. slump?

Moria is very tempting. Also: Monstrous just launched, and it looks GREAT. It's a book of system-neutral, in-depth monster lore and what-not. It's by a creator who has a local store, and they had printed previews of one monster entry, and they look great and the content is great. I've already...

Yeah, with so many robust 5E-compatible options out there and on their way, I kind of doubt I'll buy any of these new core books. Granted, part of my thinking there is that people at my table will buy them, which makes it easier for me to not buy them.
