This looks ridiculously awesome! I can't wait for to run some scouting adventures.

Terrible is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. Over the years, I've been told I was a bad GM on several occasions online. I've been told I'm a bad GM for not allowing a player to create a Mage or Werewolf character for a Vampire campaign. When I mentioned that I'd replaced Swim and...

I'm been GMing on and off for about thirty years now and I still fail on occasion! I think it's the social skills that makes GMing most difficult in that you have to be comfortable managing people. You've got to balance the needs of each player against one another as well as your own desires...

When I started gaming back in the late 1980s, we didn't have anyone to compare ourselves against aside from the other people we gamed with and letters/articles in places like Dragon Magazine. A new GM today might be comparing themselves directly against Jason Carl or Matt Mercer whereas I could...

And just like that! I'm out. I was scrolling on the YouTubes when I came across a Batman short. Joker is making fun of Absolute Batman and Last Christmas was the background music. At first I wasn't sure if it was a cover, but when the lyrics kicked in I knew I'd be whammed. That's okay. I...

This is the first year I don't have an RPG to nominate. I'm glad to see all the other nominations though.

I'm five days in and still no Last Christmas. I'm not even trying! Come on, Wham! I'm here! Come get me!

Did reindeer trample your heart or something?

I don't really think a lot of us appreciate the logistical planning and execution that goes into making such a large event successful. We don't think about how the sausage is made, we just enjoy eating it. Changing venue can be a difficult decision, but it sounds like it was to their benefit...

And the sad truth is that nobody really knows what's going to be successful. You can hedge your bets, but at the end of the day even good movies sometimes fail to find an audience.

There were a number of bestselling Ravenloft novels in the 1990s including I, Strahd and Vampire of the Mist. I don't think the IP has negative value.

What setting is likely to produce a good movie? Because I don't think any of them are. You point out that directing, acting, script, editing, sound design, etc., etc., are what you need for a good movie. Edge Runners isn't a good series because Night City made it likely to produce a good...

Your wife has fine taste in music.

The psychological damage is done but you don't get credit for 2025.

I heard someone singing "Fleas on my dog" and I can't unhear it.

Player skill as in using the rules to their maximum advantage. That's an aspect of the game, right?

In the various Modiphius 2d20 games, like Star Trek, Fallout, Conan, etc., etc., there's a shared resource, it's called something different in each game, but we'll call in Momentum for now, that's generated by rolling more successes than is necessary to complete a task. i.e. If a player needs...

Because our current Thanksgiving isn’t directly tied to the harvest. The holiday as we know it today wasn’t finalized until the 20th century when it was fixed to a particular day.
