    My Changing Thoughts on Science Fantasy Games

    Do you mean for power level in an RPG? I can see that if a spell does 5d6 and a laser blaster does 10d6 kind of setup. Narratively though when you have a lot of sci fi and a little fantasy you get things like Star Trek Vulcan mind meld, Babylon Five psychics, and Doctor Who. Each of those has...

    City Supplements - What do we like?

    My guess would be it is usually when a couple people run a company and then split and do not want to deal with each other over it for whatever reason anymore and do not transfer all the rights to just one of them who could then get the occasional couple bucks from drivethru for sales of their...

    City Supplements - What do we like?

    Do you mean cities vs. dungeons instead of vs. adventures? The Death in Freeport module is set entirely in the City of Freeport, for example.

    City Supplements - What do we like?

    It was beat to the punch in that regard by AD&D 2e Jakandor and their not-evil heavily necromantic Charonti society. Hallowfaust is easier to insert into most campaigns as a useable element though.

    City Supplements - What do we like?

    An interesting one for me is Hallowfaust: City of Necromancers from the Scarred Lands. A strongly themed Necromancer magocratic city state, a strongly themed LN necromancer refuge in a hostile monster filled wilderness. It is different in being a place where mindless undead are openly used...

    City Supplements - What do we like?

    Pirate's Guide is a big 256 page hardcover with a ton of words, but I felt it did a good job of giving overviews and clear tones to start for the overall city and the individual districts to riff off of before getting into specifics and sample stuff. It also has clear strong conceptual themes...

    What are you reading in 2026?

    I started back into reading novels and short stories on my kindle again. I finished Legends of the Space Marines, a 40K anthology series of short stories. It fit well with my current recreational reading attention span and my surface level knowledge of 40K. I enjoyed it enough that I queued up...

    Pirates Guide to Freeport is my favorite fantasy city sourcebook. Statless, it gives a good overview of tone and themes, the city history, it’s place in the world, and then an organized well district by city district set of chapters, giving a good breakdown of the districts and factions plus...

    JRPG style TTRPGs

    I am not sure if this is JRPG in the video game sense, but Kamigakari: God Hunters is a Japanese TTRPG with Japan media themes so things like Japanimation including mechanics of building up to do your big strike a bit into the combat Voltron style instead of first shot D&D style. The mechanics...

    Dungeon Crawl Classics What is cool to you from a player perspective?

    I had the second game a little while ago. It went well. I embraced an old school dungeon crawling ethos. When exploring around the tunnels in the wall of the giant tree house we saw a skeletal hand sticking out of a collapsed side passage my first question was "does it have a ring on it?" It...
