    It's the End of the World As We Know It: Apocalyptic Campaign Settings

    My default is usually no apocalypse. The PCs are just average folks and the world turns with or without them. However, im in a Fading Suns game and im kinda trying to categorize it. There was an advanced society, but it had fallen. The society now is trying to reclaim old stuff and find out...

    What Do You Think Of As "Modern TTRPG Mechanics"?

    Thats really the center of the issue. Folks are coloring their definitions with their preferences. "Aimless", for example, might be how a person who doesnt like a generally built system feels about its execution, but its not charitable to folks who enjoy that kind of game.

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    I'll take the edgy backgrounds over the few male gamers i've had who always showed up to sessions zero like this. "My new PC is also a promiscuous supermodel lesbian like my last PC"

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    For a good solid decade I ran Pathfinder Classic and it remains my favorite fantasy RPG to date. During that time I was running twice a month sessions of about 4 hours. It would take roughly 30 sessions to complete an AP. So, if I was going 60 sessions id probably do an E8 campaign to keep the...

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Which was a good start! Meh. It establishes the justice gang as a bunch of jerks. Not bad though as you can see why metahumans in the DC verse need Superman as their moral compass. I was hoping the distraction would be something cooler and more interesting. Though, im starting to understand...

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    It was fine. One thing I dont get about DC movies is all the seemingly pointless CGI fights. Every movie seems to have a lot of them that dont really matter. I guess it sort of establishes "this is my job I do it all the time" but I feel these scenes either run up the run time, or eat up time...

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    I wouldnt say out of control at all. RPGs are...checks notes to confirm...greatly cheaper than any other hobby I have. We also have instances where folks can barely make careers out of working in the industry and a large reason is folks balk at 45-75 bucks for a hardcover text with full color...

    If Essentials wasnt any different, then why did it have a different name? We can play this game all day.

    Oh yeah some of the storage devices are absolute junk. I’d prefer no device or even nylon if you want to skimp on the product there!
