I've always mixed it up and am willing to try almost any system and genre. One system would drive me crazy. Plus, to me a lot of TTRPGs are about who you play with more so than the system. Variety also keeps the burnout from setting in IMO. My core group is about 50/50, half will only play...

I'm only 51 and passionate about 3.5 ;)

I'm a Great Wheeler.

The dog should be in every campaign. :)

I answered Jaheira who actually has been in my campaign since 99.

Never had Twitter. I run a marketing and branding agency and had to do some client social media posting but that stopped shortly after he acquired Twitter. My clients all bailed.

Potato Salad with Raisins Medium aberration, Neutral Bad The Potato Salad with Raisins is an inexplicable monstrosity born from culinary hubris. A revolting blend of poorly cooked potatoes, too much mayonnaise, and the audacity of raisins, this creature exudes an aura of discomfort and regret...

None, but you just inspired me to add Pac-Man

Anything by Palladium. In all fairness though, maybe they've improved since the 90s. Sadly once you do get past the presentation you also learn their mechanics are terrible.

I love Shadow of the Demon Lord and Shadow of the Weird Wizard. I think both do a good job of the character class/sub class thing as you level up. I feel if characters like the character development process of D&D/PF both games offer that in spades. I'm also a huge Schwalb fan so I am biased.

I follow. Some of my players are exactly the same and we all started in 81 so that interests me. I think many people may have been exposed to medieval fantasy first as kids. For example, many of us encountered the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings prior to Lovecraft at our young ages in 1981. I was...

I think as you and others touched on this varies person to person but also if you go back to ODD or ADD many of the monsters were pulled from science fantasy, Lovecraft, pulpy cinema, etc. Just my two cents.

I've done this quite a few times. We ran one campaign inspired by the Color Out of Space. To be fair there were still some MM monsters. Orcs, goblins, etc. But they helped with pushing the alien/aberration vibe IMO. Once the "meteors" hit the realms it helped create some moral decisions. Do the...

I prefer 3rd party monsters. I've been playing since 81 and find 3rd party monsters add tension and mystery for me. Trying to roleplay when you know almost every creature becomes stale, at least for me. I also prefer 3rd party when I DM on the monster side for the same reasons. Of course, I...

Yeah, it's pretty disappointing.

Hey Enworlders, Long time lurker and occasional commenter here. I believe this might be my first post. I've been seeing a lot of "what do you use ChatGPT for" and "how to use AI for your RPG games and campaigns". I thought I'd share how I use Google NotebookLM to help me as a DM. How people...

Google NotebookLM might be helpful as well. It's been quite useful for me and RPGs. Unfortunately it only works with pdfs.

Excited for this release.

Not sure if we're limiting this to just ChatGPT but for those that do not know Google NotebookLM is quite helpful. At least it has been for me and my circle of RPG friends. I don't want to hijack the thread if it's focused on ChatGPT, but take a look see.
