    First foray into paid DMing - 16 session in.

    I’ve thought about joining a paid game. I’m a forever DM and for the games I want to play in I think I’d have to join a paid game. I’m just really wary of spending a bunch of trying to find the right GM and group if that makes sense. I’ve though running a paid game, again because there are...

    Player skill vs character skill?

    Correct. A good approach weighs the outcome in their favor. I am not opposed to auto-success either. There are times when the right approach will always succeed.

    Player skill vs character skill?

    The idea that I as a player have to figure out the trap when my avatar in the world knows more about traps than I ever will has always perplexed me. The same is true for social situations or combat or anything else. We ask for actions in combat and a similar approach works for actions outside...

    What NEW TTRPGs are Releasing in 2026?

    I backed both Broken Empires and Astra Arcanum this year so I’m looking forward to receiving those quite a bit. Also will be jumping on WHFRP 5th. I really enjoy 4th so a cleaned up version is right up my alley.

    TTRPG Resolutions For 2026

    Unfortunately I rarely get the opportunity to play so I’d have to plan on running it.

    TTRPG Resolutions For 2026

    Let my Pathfinder 1e campaign run its course. Probably around 10-12th level. They are currently 5th almost 6th. Try to get into Mothership. Finally I’d like to get back to running Arden Vul. I ran about 15 sessions on Shadowdark and then using GURPS and had an absolute blast. I never of...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I started a new 40k army this year. I’m slowly working my way through assembling it. It doesn’t matter how much work I get done the pile of shame continues to grow. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step…

    What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

    I started this earlier this year. It was easier than I’d thought it would be. Combination of GURPS DF with the Action! Bad rules and simplified range bands as a base rules set. There are, depending on you want to count them 6-9 bestiaries you can pull from and reskin as needed. If I did it...

    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    OSE or Shadowdark I’m currently running Shatterd Star in Pathfinder 1e, it’s a really dungeon heavy AP. It’s going well.

    What Non-D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign

    I like GURPS for dungeon crawling, especially requiring resource management. You can make it as mechanically heavy or light as you want.

    What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

    I’d like to be a player. Seriously. In a long running game. After that, if I get to pick I’d love to play in a well run WHFRP campaign. I’d also love to be a player in something like an Arden Vul megadungeon run in something like GURPS. Finally getting to be a player in something like...

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    As someone who does not play 5e because I don’t like the game a new edition definitely cause me to check it out. If it was D&D I liked I would adopt.

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    GURPS 4e anything gritty or simulationist I’d want to run. I think I could strip back for OSR style characters too. SWADE for anything high action, cinematic, or pulpy. Pathfinder 1e for when I want my level based d20 gaming fix. Honorable mention to WHFRP 4e. If I could get a 4th this...

    I think it is time for a break.

    Monetizing my hobbies drains all the joy. I’ve been asked to make a few furniture pieces but doing the commissions was never fun. I’ve thought about setting up a paid game to run online. Mostly to run things my regular group isn’t to but I just keep feeling like I have a job. I don’t need...

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I think I’d choose Pathfinder 1e. It’s a robust game. I hear about white room balance issues but I’m actual play I think it’s rarely an issue, or at least has not been at our table. If I wanted zero to superhero it will do that with ease. If I wanted a...
