Yeap, I get that. Im trying to figure out how to make it more interesting than Oregon Trail the RPG. Maybe it doesnt need to be?

I think its triggering a knee jerk reaction to old school survival sim. Where every morsel of food and drop of water needs to be tracked. Folks found it to be exhausting and not particularly exciting. Which is why the exploration pillar is sort of in limbo currently. It's been reestablished as a...

Spy stories in the vein of John Le Carre not Ian Fleming. Loads of political intrigue and only spare moments of violence. Kim Phillby said it best, "A spy should only ever shoot their gun once in their career. When they have no other way out." I'd need a system that could do this well, and not...

I agree. If I was doing it id make it that save or die only work when a target is bloodied.

The work on those minis is inspiring!

No lights for me this year all my time is being consumed preparing for a convention 12/4-12/7 coming up. The game im hosting went from 20 seats to 42 so im burning the midnight oil printing and painting in prep. Maybe, after the convention I'll hang some lights. If im not so gassed I just want...

Its interesting to read this becasue my 5E experience was different than my past D&D experience. When we played 5E, it was very quick at the earliest levels to run combats. About mid level 7-11-ish combats got pretty lengthy. However, once we hit 13+ combats were lightning quick again. I cant...

The cheese is pinched inside the beef before cooking. Gotta let it sit a few min cause it comes out like lava if eat it too quickly!

it’s been awhile but the Twin City staple is always a hit. Folks here it is the “Jucy Lucy” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5441785ae4b01ad919f83ddc/1580496081375-0VU3ZI4IQKJ4N67J3GBP/2020-about.jpg

The high level issue is two fold. The first is preference and a lot of folks dont do it merely because they dont want a gonzo fantasy game. What do I mean by that? I mean, pocket dimensions, mass teleport, scry and fry, wish, among many others. The game changes in scope of adventure and...

Grass fed beef salt and pepper. Cook in skillet to medium. Use a couple of dabs of balsamic and olive oil on the bun to toast in skillet. Slice a long piece of mozzarella, basil, and some cherry tomatoes. Combine and there you have a fresh tasty caprise burger.

Too many to list. I barely ever play D&D and its because I got so much good stuff to get to.

Yes, most of those things are substituted for different environments. Tainted atmospheres, strange alien world biologies, mapping star systems, etc.. With Traveller being a skill focused system, it leads naturally to exploration challenges. Paizo's Serpent Skull AP tired to do fantasy Indian...

My Traveller games are often exploration based with combats being few and far between.The Sci-Fi genre is both dangerous and imaginative!

One reason I love modules is that while I love using maps, monsters, and NPCs im not fond of actually making them. Things like the NPC Codex that Paizo made for PF1 are my bread and butter. So, the more of the mechanics that are done and ready for me to grab and go like a tool kit the better...

Paizo’s Second Darkness AP?

I’ve noticed that. A lot of conversations about just because you (general) don’t understand something doesn’t mean nobody understands it.

I get what you are saying but I’m not put off the genre forever. So far, From is bucking the trend. I don’t see BSG as a puzzle box it’s more of a mysticism tale and while a different type of shoe can suffer the same issues.

Folks interested should cheek out Paizo's Jade regent AP.
