It has been years since I wrote this one and my interviewing skills have vastly improved. Just to be clear, not Mongoose's or Matt's fault if this article doesn't appeal to anyone; I was the one who wrote the article. However, lessons learned and I continue to work on honing my craft which was...

I don't see how you can roll as the GM and change what you rolled in secret. That is the definition of cheating in any game. I think the GM can choose not to roll in many cases but combat in nearly every system I know requires rolls and changing the results of a roll outside the rules is...

No, you record the hit in secret. You say hit and put a red pin in your ship, but the other player doesn't see you recording the hit because of the barrier between both sides of the board. The other player doesn't know what ship was hit or how many times it has been hit until it sinks. Because...

I think the information in tabletop RPG rulebooks about what is an RPG and how to treat your fellow players while running a game could instead be distilled into some practical advice. In a table top RPG a game master may say, “The players sank my battleship!” And that is a great thing. Here’s...

Combat is 22 pages long so I can just cover the basic ideas. Battles with people happen as duels (one on one) or as brawls (multiple opponents). Opposed rolls mostly with options. Walkers attack on a special table with various results up to amputation being required to live and/or death. A PC...

Thanks, Mike!

Yes. Thanks for the catch. My rough draft had it spelled correctly but my final copy didn't. Not sure what happened but I'm glad you caught it!

Lead designer, Nils Hintze, talked to me about The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game. The Walking Dead Universe has two modes of play: survival at the tactical, immediate level and campaign: which combines tactical with strategic goals like dealing with other nearby groups of survivors as...
