Index Card VTT or ICVTT as it's known. Originally designed for Index Card RPG you can use it for any game. Very lightweight and free. Drag in a map image. Go. No settings, no macros, no chat technology, no options nor toolbars. There are no instructions, no tutorials. Just maps, tokens, dice...

I did nominate Nimble but it failed to make the poll (don't know if it was a bad link or was just missed).

I'm currently running one 5e game (7th level PCs) and two OSR games (Swords & Wizardry Complete and Shadowdark). All are using the same players. As a GM I enjoy running the two OSR games more as there is less prep and they are easier to run. There is not a lot between the two OSR games, SD works...

If I could come only keep three books they would be: ICRPG (contains excellent GM advice and you can run any genre). EZD6 (great for one shots and conventions) finally Whitebox: Fantasy Medieval Adventure Game (a clean simple D&D).

I have all the AiME books, but I prefer the changes they made to LOTR5e. Books are all a must buy for me. It is not to hard to adapt the AiME books to the latest.

I was worried when I couldn't reach my itch.io. webstore. Turns out Itch.io used by gamers and indie RPG publishers has been taken down. Reports from Itch are that Funko was using ‘brand protection software’ which it claims used AI to flag a disputed page, and filed a “bogus” report with...

My two nominations are: Nimble5e : Nimble Co. | Slay the TTRPG Slog Planet of the Apes: Official Planet of the Apes RPG - Magnetic Press

Matt has already said Free League will continue to publish it for the foreseeable future as he said "they are doing a great job"

Definitely will hit $14 million, very pleased for them but I do wonder how many people will be playing it in 12 months time

Yet another good example of Community action forcing companies to listen to their customers, who ultimately keep them in business.

Backed Nimble, for a solo indie creator it has been a very well run crowd funding campaign

Alchemy explicitly saying it's Free League who have changed their policies and asked them to remove them

I interpret Light as I can run the game without referring to the rulebook and usually has the same core mechanic throughout. Crunchy either has lots of situational modifiers and/or lots of mini-systems for different situations.

I'm guessing sales are down and they need to make some cash to pay for the licence, I sold my copy last year which seems like a timely choice.

I dislike GM screens both as a GM and a player. If you need reference sheets lay them flat on the table. I like all rolls to be visible, players and GM.

If a success we might get UFO and Captain Scarlet RPGs, not a fan of 2d20 system but every company nowadays just shoehorns their standard ruleset into their latest IP (Modiphius and Free League have made it their business model).

For that OD&D experience I would try Delving Deeper (or Iron Falcon), both are so close to the Original game. I have played DD several times and it such a different experience to B/X it is a ton of fun, it also shows how B/X moved it on.

There's currently about 42 Feats in 2014 PHB which I think is more than enough, (we never use them in any of our games anyway) so they are adding another 33 in 2024. From what I believe they are no longer optional, so can't see us upgrading.

We always use the standard array, early on we had occasions where a couple of players rolled really bad, so array has stuck.

This is going to have major ramifications for the gaming industry, can't see how they can survive this.
