To further clarify on Monster Attacks: No same attack twice in a row - which avoids spamming by accident or on purpose. A GM can choose or roll. Many monsters have "attacks" that are not a straight up attacks giving PCs other tests other than combat And while the monsters in the chapter and...

Just as a public service announcement, Free League now has a BRP dungeon crawler called Dragonbane (though it uses d20 instead of a d100). Its overland rules seem to be in the same vein and vibe as Wyrd and Wild as DB offers random regional encounters that feed into the local dungeon or offer...

Yep. They went the way of the VW bug. An economy brand that became more of a luxury brand due to nostalgia for a lot of kids that eventual did good.

Maybe my poor parents got the cheap converse, but I always remembering they were the most uncomfortable sneaker I ever wore. They had zero absorption and every vibration went through the shoes and into my feet.

Why is this dragon getting a ticker tape parade?

That's tricky. The box and standard bestiary is only $10 more (compared to the standard core book and standard bestiary) but you get standees, a 11 adventure campaign (which is another 100 + page book), a good sized map, card decks (for treasure, improvised weapon, and initiative), and a few...

The bestiary is great and and a must have for DB GMs. Pretty much all the standard fantasy monsters are covered and so you have enough types of critters to use and reskin for most of your standard fantasy adventures.

Perhaps. It may seem sudden to us but you never know. I had an uncle who had a heart attack that seemed out of the blue but all his paperwork and legal stuff was airtight. For someone who we thought was a bit disorganized, he had done some planning behind the scenes. He at least suspected...

Gamma World was my second game after D&D and my first attempt to have a campaign arc. Our mutant animals had eventually had families and grew older. Pour one out.

You'd think the best answer to that question would be, "Well, I just wrapped my campaign using your setting/system."

Later licensing was much more strict after WEG. At a con panel, I remember hearing one writer (was it Peter David? I can't remember), saying he went through a big fight over one of his novels as it required R2-D2 to fly. This was before the prequels. He had to rewrite that section to only go...

Agreed. It's also highly likely Asmodee made the move to save money as it seems ttrpg art is subsided over there, so not exactly a mindset that's willing to spend more to support a studio with more people or freelancer budget. I admit I am purely speculating but it feels like Asmodee is either...

Admittedly, it seems that for many companies, a house system with a few odd balls tossed in here and there is the way to go . OTH, it is refreshing to see a publisher who is willing to judge a game without a system bias.

I agree that Osprey has been flying under the radar with intriguing ttrpgs.

Free League opted to promote their new fantasy game, Dragonbane, which is a BRP based game that uses a d20. It's modernized by adds Death Saves (but based on your Con score) and Advantage/Disadvantage from 5e. You can also push for a re-roll if you Disadvantage a whole category of skills. Sort...

Yes. Please drag in more young people into science! I know we have a wider range of ages in the game now, but I'm thinking of my own high school days when the Satanic Panic was a thing. Luckily, it was NOT a thing in my family and I only bumped into it during my part time jobs during college...

A recent move by Free League now makes even more sense. They recently released a fantasy game, Dragonbane, which is a BRP variant that uses a d20 instead of d100 and came in two languages right out of the gate, Swedish and English. Free League has already allowed local publishers to crowdfund...

My recent anecdotal experience with this mindset has been with online interactions for Free League's new Dragonbane game, which some described as a "5e roll under" system, unaware of its Swedish BRP roots. Before that, it was difficult to get on con panels about community content if you were...

Love the art and layout already!
