Exactly. Keith is writing a 2024 monster update book. He's not happy with 5.5 but unsure what his next steps will be so threw the question out to his audience: 1. Keep doing what he's doing. 2. Focus on third party supplements 3. Find a new game. Keith's blog was not intended as a review of...

Pretty much what @overgeeked said. I love short imaginative adventures that inspire and excite me A lot of the coolest adventure stuff is coming from the OSR/NSR these days. Game wise, there's many excellent ones from a variety of styles.

An advantage of playing a variety of RPGs is being able to recommend games to other players, especially if they only know about D&D and/or aren't too sure about the system or are getting tired of it. A close friend of ours has played D&D casually over the years, but not that thrilled and had...

It's very odd. Rage makes barbarians reckless, but if they need to sneak, they become very controlled and quiet. But still really angry. If they're not raging, not so good at stealth. Surely there was a better way?

I agree. Daggerheart was always to hopefully be DP's big, multi-book release. Candela is a rules light game that I don't think they ever had huge plans for. Nothing wrong with that.

Take care! Rest up.

Yes! I couldn't wait to bring Wyvern Songs to the table. It does delight and no sense of being weighed down. Hole in the Oak from Gavin Norman was the very first time a dungeon crawl excited me. I read it and was shocked that I couldn't wait to run it. I never liked Dungeon Crawls. Picked up...

The richest gameplay we've been seeing is coming from the OSR scene like Shadowdark's Cursed Scrolls, Gavin Norman and Brad Kerr, to name a few. Of course, there are some dull adventures in the OSR space, but overall, there's a lot of very imaginative ideas. I keep bringing this up, but we had...

Movies: only one I can think of is Honour Among Thieves TV: Arcane and Castlevania

You might like adventures that Joseph R. Lewis writes. He takes great care to be succinct but have some flavour text. He puts a lot of thought into layout, writing and design.

I like simple inventory systems that matter. We can drop these extra torches to pick up more loot. It'll be fine, right? I don't like long lists where I'm expected to keep track of all the weights and calculate carrying capacity. It's especially annoying if you do all that and then it all gets...

Chivalry & Sorcery.

Shadowdark, OSE and Nimble are my picks for any kind of dungeon crawling.

His Majesty the Worm is all about Dungeon play and has an excellent card based resolution system. Very unique.

I don't have a particular preference. I happily play both extremes and everything in between, depending on game and genre.

I have a lot of fun running Nimble too. I love the fact that the Boss/Solo monsters can actually threaten a group. Having them take a turn after every player turn solves the problem of Big Bads needing a lot of henchmen and legendary reactions. They're fun, easy to run and scary.

I'm not jealous, nope, not even a little bit!

Kobold Press has just released Riverbank (Wind in the Willows) as a pdf, with physical release coming soon.

This has been a lot of fun so far. I love the delight the players are demonstrating as they play. Deborah Anne Woll is loving every minute and has such infectious enthusiasm. Also appreciating the much shorter run times. I struggle with Live Plays, even well done ones like CR. Tales From...

LotR: Of course. Watch it every year Back to the Future: So much fun energy Star Trek: ll to IV The best Trek Toy Story: The first three are brilliant, funny and touching. Pixar at their best. Star Wars: Original three. I don't acknowledge the others. 😂
