30 years of chat rooms, ICQ, forums and social media, was a wild ride with ups and downs, but the time to let go has finally come. We are both retired now. I’ll spend my time playing with the dog, soloing games, playing board games with my gamer wife and playing with my RPG group. Godspeed and...

A month ago, I got tired of using maps for solo battles. The set up time was getting in the way. It made the game loop too long for games like D&D, in which there are many combats. Theater of the Mind doesn't do it for me. Also, engagement distances were problem. With 5' maps, it's rare to get...

What are the Top 5 RPGs you want to play (as a player and/or as a GM) in 2025? In 2026 I want to solo play modern or sci-fi games. 2025 was very fantasy oriented. I have several unplayed games on the shelves. My list: Coriolis the Great Dark Dream Machines Starforged Numenera 2e Outgunned Pulp...

Netflix has triumphed in the bidding war for Warner Bros. and HBO, announcing a deal that could combine two of the three biggest streamers with one of the largest traditional movie and television studios. If the deal goes through, it will fundamentally reshape Hollywood at a precarious time for...

As requested. I'll add comments later this evening.

Killing Eve, how can a tv show start so great and then become so bad after two seasons? We only watched two episodes of season 4 before quitting on it.

The 2e Fantasy AGE Bestiary, is at the top of my list. We know it's almost done and we also know it will contain a lot of NPCs - allies and enemies. Sadly, I'm sure the Diamond bankruptcy trial is stalling the printing and distribution.

We heard about this show this last Summer. We watched the first episode and were shocked, appalled and disgusted by Jackson Lamb, the character played by Gary Oldman. We couldn't watch another episode. Last week, we decided to watch at least another two episodes to give the show a fair chance...

Has anyone attempted a condensed version of AD&D 2e, reducing the text to rules only, a bit like Shadowdark?

Operating as Wizards of the Coast Studios Inc., the studio will focus on developing new content for the “Dungeons & Dragons” (D&D) franchise and supporting Wizards of the Coast’s growing digital games portfolio. Industry veteran Dan Ayoub has been selected to spearhead the new studio. More...

What is the cost of one night at an Inn? I've looked at the PHB and DMG and can't find the info. Is there an expanded 'equipment and services' list in another book?

Soon, I will start a Dragonbane campaign with my wife as a single player and me as the GM. She is an experienced role-player having participated in my AD&D 2e to D&D 5e campaigns. I'm thinking of giving her character a sidekick or an animal companion. She played with two characters in a group...

Seems like the Holmes 77 retro-clone (2011) by RC Pinnel was forgotten by the OSR community. Labyrinths & Perils claims to be the first Holmes retro-clone, but that is false according to Tenkar.

Finished the six-episode season one last night. Emma Myers is excellent as the main protagonist Pip Fitz-Ambori amateur investigator and pain in the butt for those who have something to hide. I found the pacing very good and the full reveal chilling. 6 episodes was the perfect length. The show...

[Shadow of the Weird Wizard] Rangers of the Wilderlands (00) Four characters were created. Monte the Mage novice in the traditions of Illusions and Evocations. Easton the cleric novice in the traditions of Alterations and Invocations. Axton, the burglar-rogue and Umbar, the hunter-fighter...

I'm starting this thread to discuss SotWW as fans of the game. This is a [+] thread, so keep it helpful. Thank you.

I still play from time to time: Barbarian Price Starfire I & II Arena of Death Citadel of Blood Car Wars

The issue #3 of the Engine AGE magazine is out. I contains a full simplified version of the AGE system called SAGE. It also contains 4 mini-settings: Guardians of the Key, The Half Moon Department, Zarat Adventures, Transmigration I find this very interesting. Haven't read it yet but will do...

Huge implications for the video game industry. EU Vice-president Nicolae Ștefănuță says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer not the gaming company. In other words he says it's not a service but a goods. He effectively sides with the European Stop Killing Games movement.

Six episodes in and I must say I'm very impressed. The casting is perfect. When I was reading the books, I was hoping for a screen adaptation. For once, I feel like the screen version is at least as good if not better than the books.
