Skavens and warpstone under Absalom.

I agree. D&D5e supports the very specific D&D5e style of fantasy, mainly because of system design and presumptions. One can twist and turn it a bit with player buy-in, but in the end it will still be D&D.

Savage Worlds hit my crunch sweetspot. It’s there, but in the right places that make it easy for a GM to improvise and wing it, and the right amount of ruling-not-rules. As others have said, a high crunch system can be very playable with good VTT support. I also GM WarhammerFRP on Foundry and...

For me and my table d20 high fantasy style gaming includes a flow of magic items. To eliminate using encumbrance I always throw the party a bag of holding or two at session 0 or 1. For us no magic items means a different play style, and then we don’t use d20/D&D.

As a GM for a table of players that really enjoy and focus on the roleplaying and social aspect, and are adept at developing their characters, I try to keep the challenges reasonably tough but the deadliness low - since they invest a lot in their characters. In grimdark systems like WFRP the...

If I was short of time, came from rules-for-everything systems, wanted good premade adventures and had three permanent groups, I would try to convert the players to Pathfinder 2e. In my limited experience it is - after an initial learning hump - probably the least time and prep consuming system...

This year I’ve continued to GM my weekly Savage Pathfinder city campaign. I’ve also done some WFRP4e one-shots as system and Foundry testing as prep for a campaign start next year. And I’ve said feck it to waiting any longer for the elusive SWADE sci fi companion, and started prepping for a...

I GM online, and usually do weekly 4 hour sessions.

I’m old and in pretty bad shape, but living on the countryside I know for shure I can win against a mouse.

What’s up with the late eighties glam metal look?

Halfling, elf, dwarf or human, nothing signals bold adventurer more than a pron stach and a mid-length mullet.

Usually, for me settings are more fonds and wallpaper for the actual gaming, I'm as happy GMing in Golarion as in Forgotten Realms. But the one setting that really matter and reflect gameplay is Warhammer's The Old World, I just love it.

Party angered vampiric Norgorber priest.

I run mostly semi-sandbox campaigns in the systems I GM, and all campaigns are basically fueled by player characters doing dumb things, drawing wrong conclusions and - most importantly - thinking they are smart and clever when doing stupid stuff. It's an improv GMs wet dream really, since the...

I haven't checked in on AboveVTT in quite a while - what's the word on the future in relation to Wizards own VTT?

I don't do Pf2e, even though I really like the system for that specific game style. But I still must add that the commercial Pf2e adventure path modules for Foundry is the most luxurious and best implemented stuff I've seen. If I ever come into a life situation with zero prep time as a GM, I...

I use Foundry and am comfy with that. Now, there are a couple of game systems I'd like to play that are better supported on other platforms. But I'm a humanities guy that is very uninterested in the tech itself, am happy that I've come to grips with Foundry, and it would feel daunting to start...

With the exception of WFRP in The Old World of course!

I run most of my fantasy in Golarion, there’s room for everything. Currently running a gangs- and politics-centric city campaign in Absalom using Savage Pathfinder.

My Runequest 2e collection, that died in a waterfilled cellar together with The Fantasy Trip, old Traveller boxes etc. May the books Rest In Peace.
