Yeah, adding it to 5e would be weird but I do think adding it to D&D (in a future edition) could work just fine. A benefit of only having the players roll is that it opens up the design space for reactions a whole lot more. When facing an attack they might dodge (roll DEX), block (roll STR)...

I like all kinds of rpgs, even the player-facing ones. Like some have said though they need to be designed towards that purpose. For those saying D&D could never have it though I think a new 6th edition reworked to have only player facing rules would probably work just fine, especially as D&D...

Well I was advocating for ttrpgs being a hobby people would be able to afford but I guess "reality" and "life" is working against me so discussion over I guess.

I don't know anything about apples or oranges but I do know that $20 is a huge amount of money for me so please don't presume that your economic situation translates to everyone else. I also don't like the thought of normalizing having to pay to play ttrpgs. It makes the hobby less welcoming. If...

It might sound cheap compared to a sandwich but when other people are having just as much as fun for free, $20 becomes quite the ask. Add to this the requirement of 40 sessions in a year and a minimum required presence of 75% putting the total cost at a minimum of $600/year or $800/year for full...

I would never pay a single dollar just to play in any campaign. This new world of GMs for hire is complete madness to me, an unspeakable and unknowable madness from beyond time and space. If I ever got to the point where I felt, either GMing or playing a ttrpg, was like a job to me, I would quit...

As someone who used to buy books from covers alone, none of these would ever make the cut. Modern cover design has definitely turned sour for me. As for the question at hand I do feel like things have become more and more self-referential. OD&D was influenced by external things but over the...

On Playstation I recently played through Ultros followed by Jusant. Now I'm trying Dark Light but I'm sure if I'll finish it or not, On PC I've tried a lot of stuff from my pile of shame recently, finished Puzzle Agent (for the second time), and I'm kind of getting into Gestalt: Steam & Cinder.

Fading Suns.

You thought you were clear but this: Is the post I think people got stuck on, were you claim it´s a struggle getting players for other RPGs and that they are expensive book ends. This is not written in a way that conveys that the message is only relevant to you. I'm sad to hear that you have...

But we won it too... Right?

I'd like to say monthly but all my friends live far away and we do miss some months due to scheduling difficulties so "a couple of times a year" it is.

Playing 5e since the 80s IS quite the achievement you time wizard.

Well. There sure have been some discussions about orc and whether they are evil or not and whether WotC can decide if they are evil or not and so on an so forth. One thing that most of us actually do agree on however is that anyone can play their game anyway they want and decide how they want...

There need to be some kind of list of all different kinds of RPGs by this point. J - Japanese TT - Tabletop T - Tactical A - Action C - Computer What am I missing?

Newcomers won't know there are any changes at all since these books will be the baseline for them. On the other hand I don't think most people buying D&D in the 70s found those books problematic either. It's in hindsight that old material was seen to be problematic in relation to modern...

Although everyone has a right to their opinion I do feel this article has a very passive aggressive tone and is very dismissive of some people's thoughts and feelings. Especially wordings such as "would be culture warriors" sound very rude to me. That said I do agree that anyone can play D&D...

I've just released a new scenario for Black Sword Hack but it could easily be converted to any fantasy role-playing game. It's event and location based and allows the characters several venues to interact with it, investigating the world, interacting with NPCs and choosing sides in an on-going...

Sadly it does not. You could call someone a liar by gut reaction or educated guesswork or any number of other reasons. I think what people are mostly reacting to is that Rowling has said she doesn´t read or even like fantasy as a genre. Pare that with the fact that she´s written one of the best...

This is complete madness. Please keep reporting on this. I’ve never been more invested in a story ever.
