Supers. I just don’t understand how to have or generate fun in that genre. I blame that mostly on that supers comics have always been a very minor thing here in Sweden compared to the US. It might be different for younger gamers who have grown up drenched in the MCU franchises.

We role for intent when that is meaningful and adds to the fun. Otherwise we just narrate stuff and/or use solutions like Savage Worlds tools for quick task resolution.

Current D&D isn’t a delicate machine that will fall apart if you touch it. Make some sh*t up and adjust and adapt in the moment if necessary. It’s not like the PCs can die if you are a bit off, at most they have to use some resources.

I don’t see why mind control should be implicitly evil when chopping heads of with a sword is tied to context dependent morality. I don’t want to be mind controlled, but it’s better than getting a dagger in my heart.

I’m very much inclined to not buy anything from companies that use an IP to make an easy buck through gambling, booze or other stuff that are - objectively or in my own opinion - detrimental to society. I have less and less tolerance for greedy @ssholes without an ounce of ethic spine.

Yeah, this is how I do it too, for adventures and campaigns.

Warhammer The Old World rpg pdfs. A really good game, but I’m still going with WFRP4e for my upcoming Old World grit’n’filth’n’chaos campaign.

I totally agree, and me and my table only game via Foundry. But the thing is, the crunchier a system gets - and even more so for a crunchy, fiddly and quirky game like 4e - the less the players can escape still needing to read and grok massive amounts of rules and text to make informed desicions...

Well, take a game like Pathfinder 2e that I think is very crunchy. Despite the crunch, it has unified mechanics, is well structured and organized, and feels streamlined and playable despite the chrunchorama. WFRP4e feels like the opposite, despite being less crunchy. It’s badly organized and...

I find the 4e system too crunchy and quirky, and will start a TOW campaign this fall. But I still want to recommend C7s amazing line of 4e books, they are filled to the brim with great lore, fluff and ideas and really make the Old World come alive. Imho they are useful no matter what system you...

After a couple of years of unhealth, I got a pacemaker this spring and feel like a new person. So I’m hitting the gym five times a week, 3 x cardio + 2 x strength. And darn it feels good getting into shape again!

Possibly. But in most games, different races simply manifest amplified aspects of human traits and psychology, with different skins and possibly some mechanical odds and ends. And my players are pretty adept at taking simple humans to many different places roleplaywise, including lofty...

There is no badwrong in fun, and it has lots of different faces.

All is well if it works for you and your players.

Me and my players like the roleplaying component and take that pretty serious, it’s what’s fun for us. I hope you don’t call the rpg police on us.

I may be a boring GM when doing fantasy campaigns, but I prefer my players characters to be human, or at most one of the Tolkien races. The reason for this is simply that I have yet to meet a player who can play an ”exotic race” character as anything other than a human with bad makeup and some...

I don’t believe in the supernatural, be it ghosts, goblins or god. I have way more to say on this topic, but not in this forum, since I would break the rules here.

I still read Conan darnit, get off my lawn. But seriously me and most of my players don’t and didn’t have fantasy as a favourite lit/media genre, although we love it as a gaming genre. As a GM I get most of my inspiration from other genres - although my main inspiration these days are right wing...

Me, I love Savage Pathfinder for my D&Dish fix. Very Deeandeeish feeling, but doing away with the need for meaningless and boring attrition battles, and the system is great for sandboxy, low prep and high improv longer campaigns with good tools for non-combat.

Today I learned from in situ observation that while keeping ducks in the garden make it free of snails and slugs, the ducks won’t touch or taste the redlisted panther slug. I gave my duck pals an extra bowl of yummy peas for being so environmentally concious.
