I voted “no” but if I could, I’d qualify it as a “no, but…” answer. I don’t generally want to see Psionics unless they make sense for the setting, though I don’t feel strongly enough to forbid them if someone has a good concept or desire for a psionic character. Psionics just seem a little odd...

Thank you for sharing! I’m very impressed, that looks like a lot of thought and work went into designing it. I really like how each phase not only builds on the scenario but has different goals and objectives, so it’s not just a slugfest round to round. I’m truly looking forward to your battle...

Love those maps! Those look like they took a lot of work. My much younger self used to run convention games with about 20-30 players. My maps were paper hexes glued to cut styrofoam. It was much more crude and ugly! How does your game run? Do you have, for example 5 v 5 on a map or more? I...

wow, yeah, that’s a preorder! I guess I posted with Fear. 😧

Hope and Fear Kickstarter Preorder for Daggerheart.

I might be the only one, but I’m very curious how the Godzilla rpg will turn out. Even curiouser that it’s being helmed by two 40K alumni. Over the years I’ve run several Godzilla inspired 1-shots (some serious, some loving satire) using various game systems, but none felt like they really did...

You would need to convert the encounters to their Dragonbane equivalents but barring that I don’t see why not? I actually ran a group through the Village of Hommlet using Dragonbane. Again, it was mainly a manner of converting the encounters to better fit Dragonbane. And I built Lareth the...

Oh and someone earlier mentioned adopting Traveler as a Mechwarrior replacement. Our group actually were discussing trying that, but Mechwarrior D just came out and we went for that instead. I still think Traveler would be a solid stand-in for the rpg side.

@StrollofTurtle excellent write up. I’ll add that I ran Mechwarrior: Destiny as a traditional GM without using the narrative elements (my group wasn’t into that). The rules and character creation system were still pretty decent, definitely easier than any of the 3rd++ hyper-complex era, and...

This hits hard. I’m so sorry what you’re going through. I have an older cat who’s been my constant friend for over 13 years, but she has some chronic health issues that are starting to slow her down. I’ve had a few cats that I’ve loved and lost, but this one’s really special to me, and I feel...

Given we’ve already seen 2 new playtest Domains I would be shocked if we don’t get some kind of Engineer class with an Invention Domain soon(ish). Gadgeteer and Alchemist would make great subclasses. For my part I want to see a dedicated Bladesinger/Hexblade/Swordmage gish class, or barring...

If either of you haven’t checked out Drakkenheim’s Campaign Frame (ghostfire made it free on their website), you may want to look at how they did “Contamination”. I think that approach could help both with Radiation/Mutations in Gamma World and Chaos/Mutations in 40K. I’m very interested to...

I keep thinking Bone would fit the Assassin class so much better than Blade.

I’m a few episodes in and I’m really invested now in these characters and their story (I didn’t watch the CR games so I’m brand new to Mighty Nein). I like that this one feels more serious. Vox Machina was enjoyable, but sometimes it felt like it was trying too hard with the jokes.

Home invasion instead of conversation. (Changeling/Mage WoD)

The only time I ever gamed with someone that used “negative karma” in his games was back in the early 90s. He called them “dummy points” and used them to punish player actions. He had some kind of reward point system too, which he generally only handed out to his 3 closest friends or to people...

Yeah that was probably just the tadpole talking. 😜

I really think this is accurate. Some good foundation was present in Act 3, but it really felt rushed and less nuanced. Also…

Confession time: I quite enjoyed BG3, but I disliked the final act so much it soured the rest of the game for me. Also, Karlach is overrated. (Samantha Beart is great though)

Zork! Endless hours of both imagination and frustration when I was younger. Did anyone else ever read the novel “Zork Chronicles”? It’s an odd duck. It’s not a choose-your-own-adventure book like many of the others, but a comedy novel that’s something of an homage and something of a satire of...
