    D&D 5E (2014) Restrictive DMs and player enjoyment

    I may be a relic, but for me it's simple. Me and my table agree in consensus what system and type of campaign to play. I as GM present a bit more detailed campaign concept including relevant frames for characters. You as player make a character that fits the campaign frames. If you have a free...

    Musings On Post Apocalyptic RPGs

    Aftermath manage to be both pre-, during- and postapocalypse, all in the time it takes to finish two combat rounds.

    Well, Savage Worlds have an amazing palette of suidae make-up.

    D&D 5E (2024) Half Race Appreciation Society: Half Elf most popular race choice in BG3

    Weird that they don’t know how to spell gnome, the superiour master race.

    TTRPGs Where Everyone's a Mage?

    Runequest - as we played it back in the day, all chars had at least some battle magic.

    I'm Ready For A New [BLANK] RPG

    I want official licensed Savage Traveller, Savage Shadowrun and Savage Car Wars. I want full digital support for D&D4e. I want Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e Essentials. I want someone to fund a full Foundry adaption of Savage Darwins World. And I want my table of players to magically get a...

    What is the single best science fiction or fantasy franchise?

    I admit to having a strong fetish for 1930ies and 40ies space opera. But the correct answer is of course EE Doc Smiths Lensman series, it’s filled to the brim with pulpy goodness!

    Sex at the Table

    Sex, romance, brothels etc are always a component in my campaigns, since I and my players see it as a natural part of our roleplaying and social pillar-heavy playstyle. Though usually we draw a curtain after kisses, cuddling and seduction, we don't feel the need to be graphical about the act...

    Which game has your favorite magic system?

    In Warhammer Fantasy, characters are neither Big nor Heroes, only Damned :)

    Which game has your favorite magic system?

    Mishap tables in heroic fantasy - nope. But in Warhammer Fantasy - oh yeah!

    Which game has your favorite magic system?

    Currently, it's Savage Worlds powers system. Imho it sits in a good spot between free form and rigid spellslots, with lots of flexibility for different genres while still being very easy to use. Yes, part of why I like it is that my players really lean into personalizing and being creative with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player consent required -spoilers for new adv book

    Since there where some replies to this post, I need to answer. "We are no thieves, we are heroes fighting for a good cause". If you ever took that +1 Longsword from the evil cults stash (the evil cult that you murdered), that's de facto theft. It's not like you asked them to give it to you, or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player consent required -spoilers for new adv book

    It’s been decades since I was a player, but if the love interest - for a fair comparisons sake - is an Illithid, I would do it with gusto.

    I’m not shure all of their victims would agree.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thievery in 5e - still relevant?

    This is anecdotal and is probably a fluke, but my players haven't been interested in playing rogue-like characters in any system for like 5-6 years - it's like the sneaky, backstabby chars have gone out of style. Even if I try to create situations in my campaigns where a streetwise stealthy dude...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player consent required -spoilers for new adv book

    So, in a game that to a large degree is about player characters being serial thieves and robbers, going on regular grissly murder sprees sometimes bordering on genocide, I need to get consent from every player for including a possibility of physically transformative effects in case they are...

    Grade the Savage Worlds System

    I don't want to prolong the pulp discussion, but I find it interesting that someone is nerdy enough to find this forum and create an account, while don't knowing the pop cultural meaning/genre/style of pulp, as it's used in gamer culture. This is not meant as something negative, but that it...

    Grade the Savage Worlds System

    Maybe it's because I'm an old guy, but the old roots you refer to is pretty transparent to me, even if it is a traditionalist game. I don't really see the equipment porn either, compared to games of comparable crunch. If you play cyberpunk, you add stuff and stuff complexity, if you do a...
