Also a Tiger King RPG might be fun for a short goofy campaign. You have to operate a park together and fend off rival park operators and random disasters to find out if you're ever going to financially recover from this.

A House of Cards RPG. You represent a small power bloc within a political party fighting to rise the ranks in the party while also presenting a united front. Choose when and who to betray, garner support from stakeholders and use your various social talents to try to do good in the world... or...

I reckon Like Fiasco i'd imagine, but with more silly Knig-gets

I haven't got a lot to add, but i do like in the initial podcasts I've heard this sense that there are these two colossal power groups - the inner dark and the green - and neither are friendly to humanity, but we're seen as pretty insignificant and we're just trying to survive. I haven't seen...

It was the same for the board game, and according to comments other games as well. One game apparently had map tiles so dark you couldn't see anything, almost all of the games have house rules put up on BGG within a few weeks of them being released. For the DS boardgame for example, playtime as...

Hah! I've just been burned by their Dark Souls kickstarter.

I really like what they've done with the goblins. I'm a big fan of lair/site based enemies and having a variety of features. While i can cobble things together, this takes a lot of work out of my hands and they (being not I) will come up with ideas I haven't thought of.

I have a lot of systems i still want to run, so if I can get a short campaign out of a system, that's all I need and I'm happy. Like I would be happy to run a mini campaign of Alien and then move onto something else, like blade runner.

If I was to run 5e again, my house rule to adjust the martial caster balance I'd take from Shadow of the Demon Lord. If a monster has resistance to non magical weapons, i instead will change that to resistance from spell attacks. This gives martials the primary damage dealer niche, and casters...

I've ordered from them and they've been fine. You've got to remember the effect on supply chains everywhere. I see people complaining about delays like they're the only group being impacted. People here are still buying up PS5's as fast as they come out and it's been what, 2 years now it's been...

It's worth remembering that the witcher, a huge IP has as a core element 2 different weapons and a variety of oils. It's far from the golfbag warrior a relatively few vocal people complained about and a very many people enjoy this style of play. I have the TTRPG and am sorely tempted to run it...

One of the dissapointing things about 5e for me is the looseness in the design of things like spell schools and damage types (e.g how is force and thunder different?) I feel like a shill sometimes but I do prefer how Shadow of the Demon Lord does it. There are virtually no monsters that have...

After owning quite a few types I'm a big fan of the smaller digest sized books (blades in the dark is a good example). Much easier to port and sites well in the hand. I don't mind having a core book broken into a few books to keep the size down.

I really like this idea and have thought about implementing something like this myself.

That is indeed how business works these days!

I've stolen ideas from RPGs i like over the years. What i do now is i have a main bad group plus one or 2 other main players which have goals over the entire campaign. This is mostly stolen from Dungeon world that i ran a campaign in for 2 years. If i'm using prewritten adventures i like plot...

I run it differently. I have everyone make a check and if one fails then it's a failure for the group. But I use alert levels for sneaking. Generally "Oblivious > Watchful > Suspicious > Alarmed" and starting the level as appropriate for the fiction (e.g sleepy town, camping in the woods...

I am a finance professional as well as a hobby crossfit and olympic weightlifter. I can tell you while both mental and physocal exertion are a thing, they are nothing alike. I also strongly disagree that D&D requires the same level of concentration as a highly deterministic game like chess...

Yeah this is perfect for me. Give me a barkeep called Aldrick with half a mustache, is jumpy around loud noises and always wants to make sure everyone is happy and you've got enough for me to make them distinctive and to build off.

Easier to get people together. Would like 4 hours, but with middle aged professionals with kids, 2 hours is about the limit that we can negotiate.
