As a player, I can think of a couple that still sting. A game of Aberrant where I spent ages making a person, not just a collections of dots in stuff. Lasted one session, with one prelud-ey side session. A game of Exalted, But What If Modern, where I again spent ages making the character and...

GUMSHOE never clicked with me as a System, but I adore the grid from Mutant City Blues for choosing power, following the web of connected abilities.

I had a player of a CN character "randomly" decide to kill the party in their sleep. She was an unpleasant, controlling person and I wasn't having any of it so she thought she'd ruing everyone's fun because she was THAT person. "Everyone, the next morning you find Stabby McStabface has died. In...

Has anyone yet commented on the very concept of a bank calling anyone else out for destroying good will? Nevermind the Bank of (Screwing over everyone in) America? I mean, yeah... WotC deserved to the called out for that nonsense. But... a bank? Really? Edit: I see they have. :p

What is this deluded cretin's endgame? World domination through racist games and vintage game mechanics? Is Star Frontiers his Mein Kampf?

I would so dearly love to find, and pay for, a Love domain that recognizes and celebrates that "love" is not just strange feelings in your pants and regret. Someone'll say I should just make it, but I suck at mechanics. But I would buy a Love domain that nicely handled the infinite variety of...

I will have a look at their stuff.

For Oracle Underground's bundle... How many? DriveThru only lets you download 10 at a time. Took me 14 downloads.

Several come to mind. First, I will second Robin's Laws of Good Gamemastering. I learned a lot about story, and beats, and flow. Next, the folk at Engine Publishing have made several of my favorite resources. They have a couple of books that are just useful resources, but several great books on...

^^ This ^^ Except the playtest. I don't care. I'm playing the last edition of D&D I'll ever spend money on, but that's no different than before the 1.1/1.2 debacle. Lots of good stuff out there that's not D&D these days.

I was in the same boat, but at that price, I just got it and grabbed the bits I needed.

Looks to be OSR.

I have backed this and and am super looking forward to my limited covers editions. Kobold is always good stuff. But, for a witch class, may I suggest Hidden Oddities: a Witch's Primer? This is possibly my favorite single book for D&D 5th. A complete class, with unique and interesting abilities...

I've seen similar feedback on the KS site, sadly. Kobold delivered the books to backers, and are doing the dice separately, but all the pre-orders seem to be waiting to ship all together. You think they would at least offer the option to ship separately. I took the humble bundle. I like that...

My prediction, one year from now: At least one of the PCs in my ongoing Mercenary Circus game will have an owner's share of the circus. At least one of the groups will have left the circus, but continue to play their weekly session in the same world. The leader of the third crew will find new...

World of Darkness but all modern supernatural beings are fragments of ancient Exalted. Mummies carry the most potential, and the PCs carry the potential of the greatest of their progenitors, A powerful but highly fragmented ancient general. In the current adventure, they work to stop another...

Post Traumatic Stress And Steaks.

I don't know the thing OP references, but... I would not want dice as a randomizer AND cards as a randomizer. I like games with cards. I like games with dice. I like games with cards that do interesting stuff while the dice to the randomizing. But two randomizing mechanics? No.

Let me know when the poll is over. I want to see what his followers thought.

As a DM, I've recently begun to codify some rules about Tieflings, to allow for expanded options. First... They're not a species. They're a 'heritage' any Species can inherit. You, for example, be an infernal halfing, or an infernal half-elf. "Tiefling" becomes the default for an infernal...
