    Single System Monogamy

    How many of your are monogamous with a single system? If you are system monogamous (or almost) do you run the same kind of game all the time? (only D&D, only Traveller, whatever...) If you are system monogamous what system are you faithful to? What kinds of games does it run well, and where...

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Dresden re-read and catch up. I’m more than a few books out of date. After that I’ll try and finish the Wheel of Timr on audiobook.

    D&D General Help: What to do with physical books?

    Don’t abandon your gaming group. We are mostly local and went online during the pandemic. We stayed online. We’ve actually been able to meet more consistently. I have a player with medical issues that travel hi-weekly for treatment. He takes his laptop and is still able to play in the weekly...

    Games I own that I'll never play (again)

    Im occasionally tempted by the Starfinder core book on my shelf. I’m just not sure what I would get that would be significantly different or better than something I hacked together in SWADE.

    Slow house

    Slow Horses on Apple? Absolutely. Its great. It made me want to read the books it’s based on. My wife doesn’t typically like espionage thrillers but even she got hooked.

    Games I own that I'll never play (again)

    I’ve got a couple of first time players or I’d have included the APG as well.

    Games I own that I'll never play (again)

    The shortest explanation is that the system is overly designed and regimented, inflexible in places, and the math so very tight. The resolution process for something like stealth is so specific, the dying/ dead/ wounded/ healing paradigm, locked or silo’d options that I’m not sure needed to...

    Games I own that I'll never play (again)

    Pathfinder 2e. I’ve honestly tried four times to have some success with it and failed all four times. GURPS - potentially, I’ve recently started a GURPS DFRPG game. This will be the fifth time I’ve tried to play run a GURPS campaign. If it fails I’ll shelve the books for the duration. I buy...

    Commentary thread for that “Describe your game in five words” thread.

    We just had session 2 of our fledgling GURPS DFRPG. I am running the The Tomb of Absythor from Frog God Games. This far GURPS combat is just very slow for us. I’m hoping it picks up. On the bright side I’ve prepped the first two levels of the dungeon and at the current pace that will cover...

    How Quickly Do You Bounce Off a System?

    I’m usually willing to give something at least a one-shot to see if there’s something I’m missing. I conceptually love Blades in the Dark but realized about 20 minutes into the book I’d never run it. Not a great fit for me as a GM or my regular play group. The ‘recent’ other game I bounce...

    Savage Worlds

    Can confirm there is an active Discord. There's also a very active FB group if that’s your thing. There’s a large SWADE with Swagger thread over at rpg.net and the aid-Reddit as well b

    D&D General Jasper's Annual I spend how much in 2023

    I’d be afraid of doing this. Good for you for having it under control. Maybe I’ll add a page to my budget spreadsheet and track my hobby expenses this year.

    Blue eye samurai

    I enjoyed it immensely. I don’t watch a ton of anime but this one was both beautiful and had a compelling story. Looking forward to another season.

    How Crunchy is Too Crunchy, For You Personally

    D100 roll under. Auto crit on 1-4/96-100. Opposed rolls in combat. Can do damage to an attacked if you win the opposed roll. Escalating/de-escalating advantage as combat ebbs and flows.

    Grade the GURPS System

    This Bundle of Holding is for the Powered by GURPS Dungeon Fantasy RPG (DFRPG), which is subtly different from, but wholly compatible with, the core GURPS Dungeon Fantasy line. The best part is the DFRPG doesn't require the GURPS Core Characters or Campaigns books. It is wholly self-contained...

    Grade the GURPS System

    Session 1 of the my GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Lost City of Barakus/Tomb of Absythor game starts Tuesday. I’m hoping we(I) can stick with for longer than 6-8 sessions. Going to take it slow to start, I’m just going to run the DFRPG I Smell A Rat adventure and tie it into some other Sewer stuff...
