Maybe start the leveling mill again, just with higher numbers and phat powers. The restaurant at the end of the universe have a problem with giant god-rats in the cellar?

For longer and more roleplay:y fantasy campaigns, I usually place them in Forgotten Realms or Golarion, so the one lore nerd in my group can go wild without any extra burden for me. For my upcoming Dungeon Crawl Classics campaign, I'll just make sh*t up as we go. The only genres I actually put...

Currently on a Cormac McCarthy rereading spree so...yeah...

Yeah, when I vacation travel I try to locate places that attracts blue collar workers. It's a good way to avoid tourist traps and find the good rustic stuff in back alleys.

I have only played using my home-brew sandboxy campaigns for many years now, so I don't know. I own a few adventures/campaigns from most of the various system that I've played, that I've used as inspiration/nicked ideas from/sampled what the producer thought an adventure should look like. The...

Take a deep breath sir. Hasbro is a megacorp and will always strive for optimizing profit, otherwise they will get sued and heads will roll, it's just a big corp fact and the big corp way in a hyper capitalistic society. But I have never called any edition of D&D a crap game. What I have done...

I wrote "just naked profit". Of course I want game producers that manage that precious balance between profit, engagement and quality to be successful. And I don't agree about your value for money argument. With 50 years evolution of layout, printing, game theory and experience I darn well hope...

For me it impacts my view of D&D, but not so much that it's Hasbro specifically. It's more that the brand is handled by a very large corporation where profit and massive sales are in focus rather than the game itself. The game doesn't have to be better than enough to generate profit that satisfy...

Nowadays my campaigns is pretty sandboxy and I probably agree with the message. But I'm not gonna waste another 15 minutes on another opinion in video format that could have been written down and read in a minute or less. Or at least give us a TLDW option so we don't have to live through all...

I played Traveller before I played D&D back in the days. I own a bunch of MgT2e stuff, and they are very high quality, so I have full confidence in Mongoose managing the heritage. The only downside with MgT imho is that the system with all bells and whistles going is fiddly. As Foundry is my VTT...

Yeah, it’s old school for real!

Yeah, got six numbers and eyed through them, the majority of the content looks very usable. Good stuff, and it feels good to read a zine again!

Got curious and eyed through Crawl content lists. Dafuq, crit tables for traps! 😍 Gotta grab a bunch of numbers of the zine, seems to be lots of fun stuff there.

It's dependent on system and campaign theme. But both me and my players do try to fill combat with descriptions of effect, fitting the theme. I'm currently riding a Dungeon Crawl Classics high though, starting a campaign next month where I expect 80ies heavy metal splatter movie levels of...

For me, 5e is a system that after a couple of levels become more and more of a superhero game both in practice and presumptions. That is, everyone around the table knows that real death is a very, very remote possibility, no matter how I try to challenge them in combat. Instead the focus is on...

Not a necro thread yet :) I'm an old GM but new to DCC. I'll start up a campaign in September, really looking forward to it! As to XCC, to me it seems amazing and I'm sure my table would love it. But we only play via Foundry, so I really hope there will be full Foundry support for XCC.

On a gaming summer break. But I will start a DCC campaign next month where my Appendix N inspiration obviously will be Appendix N. :) Next year I'll start a Savage Worlds sci fi campaign where I aim explicitly for a slightly fattened up Traveller sandbox with ancients-style secrets. Appendix N...

We've moved to Savage Worlds as our system of choice. I've planned a system palate cleanser with a DCC campaign starting in September, then I kick off a long SW sci fi campaign next year. So no D&D in sight.

Regarding DCC and long campaigns: We usually do heavy roleplaying, heavy background stuff. But I bought DCC on a whim a while ago, and got seriously bitten by the nostalgia bug. My players are a decade or two younger than me, and I think they would enjoy the player skill focus gaming style for a...

I do, we are summer parents for three male ducks. They are incredibly charming, social and fun, but they sure love doing no 2. So they roam our pond and spacey garden where they live, but are currently banned from entering our house.
