    RPG Crowdfunding News - Iron Kingdoms, Moonbeam, Pamphlets, and more

    I’m tempted by the Strangelight KS. Steampunk Ghostbusters is in my wheelhouse. That it ties in with Iron Kingdoms is even better. There’s a pretty sweet digital pledge for everything that is trying to pick my pocket.

    What game(s) handles pets and summons the best?

    Savage Worlds runs large combats relatively well, summoning adding to the numbers isn’t really a problem. PF2 requires summoners to sacrifice a price of their own action economy to order around the summoned monsters. It works fairly well.

    D&D General Do You Use a DM Screen?

    I use one but only a low profile landscape screen. A letter height panel is too tall for my tastes. Obscures my vision and relations with players. I don’t use them to hide dice rolls generally. Just to have easy reference for things. I often make my own panels to insert. 99% of dice rolls...

    Crunchy Tactical RPG like 4e/pf2e but for Urban Fantasy?

    GURPS and HERO will indeed give you everything you want and more. I’d also recommend Savage Worlds. Good character build options, plenty of material to draw from, and can be tactically inclined.

    Savage Worlds - Things for me to Remember

    High toughness is not fun to play against. Give out Bennies often. Don’t use GM Bennie’s to Soak, use them on attack and damage. The system is rigged in favor of player success. Don’t fight it. +2/-2 or +4/-4 is really the only set of modifiers you need. Everyone gets to try and sluff Shaken...

    Running games for pay as another income stream for TTRPG companies

    I used to scoff at the idea of paying to play but as a permanent GM I think given the right game that I know I’d never get to play in otherwise I’d seriously consider it. I’ve just about talked myself into paying for a seat at an online WHFRP 4e game a number of time. If I had as sure the...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    GURPS Meta-Tech, a new release for building power based gear and giving it a monetary value. Should prove useful for Cyberpunk and Sci-Fi games where in GURPS, in game it makes sense to pay for gear with moneys, the system really works better with buying something like cyber gear with character...

    How Serious Do You Like Your Gaming?

    My current table is pretty beer and pretzels though I wish I had a more serious group. There are just some games that I can’t or won’t run with this group because they won’t buy into a more serious premise.

    AoS: Soulbound - thoughts?

    I’ve read it and loaned my starter box out to another GM. Game is fun. Characters are superheroes. There are bolt on rules for non-superhero characters but they are not fully integrated into the core assumptions of the game. Combat is fun. I typically hate zones but they work here...

    Your Favorite Mini Companies?

    I own a lot of Confrontation but they can be hard to find now. I actually very much like a lot of Games Workshops line but they can be cost prohibitive. I’d recommend looking at their Warcry line or one of other smaller games.

    Pathfinder 2E I think I am giving up on PF2ER

    As much as I struggled with PF2 I’m still tempted to keep banging my head against that wall in case it’s me. I gel on to my books and every time I’m in the FLGS I page through the remaster. My prep time constraints may change this fall. If there do I’ll be looking for something I can run out...
