I know of game stores, of course (Dragon's Lair, Alien Worlds, Court of Gamers, Knight Watch, etc.). But I keep hearing about Game Cafes which are, supposedly, places where you can game AND order food or drink. Are there any around San Antonio, Tx? A google search brings up sports bars and...

Brother Merciful Blessings aka Mercy. I fairly clueless Healing-focused Human priest who was convinced that all the other gods were simply pale reflections of his own Uber Deity: The Protector or that of his god's opposite: The Adversary. And he wasn't afraid to preach it that way neither.

Oh, and The Expanse. I thought while watching it: This would make an excellent RPG. When the kickstarter came around, I jumped right on it. I really like playing the AGE system. I think it does what it aims for brilliantly. But... I just couldn't run it. I found that, while I had ideas and...

What I found after playing an excellent game of FFG Star Wars with Jacob Lewis is that I really, really like Star Wars... to watch. I thought the FFG system was brilliant, but I find that I don't particularly enjoy playing Star Wars. I love... eh-hem... LOVE watching things Star Wars, reading...

Yup. I'm ok with it. It's a game with game pieces and parts. I like playing games. It's not a reality simulation.

The last purchase I made for myself was the new Eberron book. I read it. It's sitting on my shelf. It's been a wake-up call for me as I was staring at my bookcase the other day and it dawned on me that I have more stuff than I will ever need or use. I have things that I've never even read! My...

I'm working my way through the Alphabet Murder Mysteries by Sue Grafton. Currently I'm on R is for Ricochet. My mom loves those books so she turned me on to them. I'm really, really liking them. Next is the "Number Murder" mysteries/Stephanie Plum mysteries by Janet Evanovich which she also...

I think we've all been there. Or at least I try to delude myself into thinking so. I like to play other RPGs. I've tried recently FFG Star Wars, Modiphius STA, and played D&D5e online fairly consistently. But... Everytime I start daydreaming about RPGs or look at a program and think: "Hey...

This one is complete.

For me? Absolutely nothing. It is a lot smaller with fewer rules. I freely admit that I'm fueled primarily by nostalgia. :LOL:

By far, my favorite system for Star Wars is the WEG 1e. But I must admit that it is probably because I got it for my birthday when it was just published and I have some serious nostalgia going on. I did really like playing the FFG system with @Jacob Lewis . It's a fine replacement and I can see...

Simple stuff, too. However, Mr. Mercer does a good job as a DM as he either knows the answer, is able to look things up quickly without breaking the flow too much, or can make a quick table rule that is close to the actual rule.

Thanks, @grodog , checking out The Greyhawk Channel as I type. Appreciate the tip.

Thanks!

I know the tiles of which you speak. I have a ton!

Just a quick followup on my end: My FG D&D 5e game has wrapped up way early as... well... turns out my players are brilliant and figured out the mystery. Which lead to them skipping over a bunch of stuff. And then the BBG when down under a well-prepared hail of attacks. So my last two sessions...

Not really. I think the word needs is a bit strong, but I understand the sentiment. For games I'm in (but not necessarily running): I think the DM should to know most of the rules and/or be familiar enough to make a ruling that is based on the way the rules work. Especially for rules heavy...
