I guess technically speaking I'm a grognard. I never fully understood the appellation though. I'm old. I played D&D and AD&D1e when they were new. Does that automatically make me a Grognard? D&D lost me in 2e. Part of this was the mess that was their core books. Part of this was all the kitchen...

Darn it, Egg!!!! Have you no sympathy for my wallet at all???? Now, The Weird and the new Historica Arcanum I was already in. I'm a Certified Monte Cook Drooling Fanboy, and I love the first Historica Arcanum book A LOT, so had to grab that one. But you, Egg, are responsible for all the...

I've been doing this for years. Heck, almost the only use I've gotten out of CCGs has been props in my RPGs. In 1997, I attended my one and only GenCon. I hit Atlas' booth, and they had this deal on "On the Edge" cards. And the guy was telling about this game. I'd played and loved "Over the...

Me too. I've basically been all in on everything they've done for the Numenera RPG, or the Cypher brand. The system still give me minor fits (My stats are my resource! Must... hoard....), but the setting fluff, the worldbuilding, the gonzo "One Billion Years..." I love it.

Seriously. Through all the years of the Satanic Panic and all the talk about how it ruins your prospects when people learn you're a gamer, through all the negative associations created by the media to sell newspapers, I never once faltered. I'm a gamer, and always will be. And then GamerGate...

I will check that out. It's worth some tinkering if I can get usable copies of some of these. ETA: It works. Issues in Firefox, but on Chrome-based Vivaldi it comes out fine... although I'd stopped using Vivaldi because of a weird quirk where printing to PDF somehow makes the file size...

I love a lot of stuff on GM Binder, but I can't use any of it. I've never figured out why, but when I print or print to PDF, it always becomes an unusable mess. Word run off the page, I lose information... But reading on the site, there's a lot of creativity in our extended community.

I'm torn. I'm a big fan of the epic, a big believer that PCs should be the HEROES of the story, and lover of all the games that let this happen. 13th Age is a great example of this. But... well... Rob Heinsoo was... awful to someone I know.... Someone who worked for him. He doesn't deserve my...

I'm constantly have to remind my player to provide an action, and I will tell them which, if any ability to roll. Mostly they will ask instead of declare, but that's as annoying.

Yes. Many times I have wished for a button or emoji to say "I agree with you but I'm not happy about it."

sigh FINE... I should just send my paycheck to you, Egg... :D

I love this idea. Consider it stolen for my own nefarious ends. For convention one shots, I've always loved to dole out decent one-use items. Potions with strong effects, scrolls, etc. One time (it wasn't a D&D game but this would translate nicely), a signet ring which marked the bearer as...

And if the answer is YES, but you're the GM, then that's fine. :D

As a kid, I attended a local convention in Seattle. 1979 or 1980, I think. Saturday morning, the director came into the lobby of the dorm we were using, shouting "Who wants a free game???" Many hands went up and he reach into this large box and started throwing copies of... Dallas. It turns...

Condolences, Michael, from a laspsed CAR-PGA member. I'll go do some giving back, now.

Thanks, Russ. Way to blow my monthly kickstarter budget. (I like that t-shirt, though. I hope it comes in extra-fat.)

What is "NPC" in this context? And why is that person you're quoting still allowed out in polite society? On topic, yes. Not to the extent of the [redacted] piece(s) of [redacted] above. My group jeered when I made a Halfling Not-a-Thief (Waaaay back in AD&D 1e days). Another time a party of...

Lore of the Traditions - I really, really want to want this. But I'm still waiting for my Technocratic hardcover (and I know all the reasons behind the delays and I know they're not that long in the grand scheme of things, but still... we're not even playing Mage anymore...). This would be...

Finally finished New PC Introduction. :)

Wow. That reminds me of my old rolling mat and collection of markers. It's been so long...
