It seems entirely possible to unite using overarching strands or schemas to shape and optional extras to fine-tune or attenuate. From there something like making combat scalable is a function of the design (unity) rather than the design itself (disunity).

A scalable, modular, draws on many editions version of a game by GG and DA - it'll never catch on :) Just put a patched copy out - DriveThru should have sent an email. Now the fun starts, as I get to play with the content putty. A dramatically cut down version without the 'twist of evil' is...

A whole city full of graffiti: See No Evil :cool:

:) asking on my own behalf

Are rights first publication or all rights? :)

Bunch of blog posts on kids/ young adults and TTRPGs here.

Magic writing along the lines of a Black Book is an easy way to mess with out of control currencies by making them more out of control - good for libraries of every spell under the sun too.

Providing games is good - but kids often aren't used to collaborative or shared gaming; are all too used to fixed narrative formats and pixel-bitching solutions; and have little idea of how to build play through layers of exploration, discovery and open-ended challenges. Your potential role as...

I'm looking for the most tasty D&D scenarios to form a sequence for novice DMs in terms of: Running roughly levels 1-10 (might be tighter than that to avoid gaps) Some variety: e.g. dungeon - wilderness - maritime or the likes Progression towards a balance of sandbox and railroad Progression in...

"effective acquisition engine" pretty much hits the nail on the head imo. The core problem of the difficulty in seeing and bridging the skills gap between expert and novice is well-known across education and learning. RPGs are no different from any other kind of learning in this respect - if we...

Ended-up sending .jpg, which really limits what can be done with the file. Tried EPS but it messed with my Illustrator set-up and wouldn't embed data. If anyone with a .jpg entry wins it might be worth asking if they've a vector file :)

Seems 3/4 of us don't know the works. Just in case: Auld Lang Syne Chorus. And for auld lang syne, my jo, For auld lang syne, We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne, 1. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And...

If it's Monte Cook; shouldn't it be Mike Mearls instead of the offhand/ dismissive Mearls?

Someone - with no association whatsoever with myself - felt a bit put out by an FLGS owner once upon a time. Every visit thereafter she/ he browsed the fantasy fiction at length - while suffering a complete inability to understand the order of the alphabet :devil:

Libraries could maybe distribute TTRPGs quite easily? Identify good quality free RPGs available for download, turn the download links into QR codes and stick the codes up on the wall on a poster? Anyone with a tablet or a mobile phone just hits on the code (set to a Save Link As to speed the...

They found the money to make a multi-million dollar increase in their CEOs pay this year, while according to Wikipedia: "Over the years Hasbro has outsourced the manufacture of its products to third-party companies, mostly in China. At the Chinese factories, which Hasbro does not directly own...

This seems an example of where a Referee's discretion/ 'Old School style' is quite far removed from rules-drive play, i.e. 'go right ahead and try one of these if you like, but expect the GM to act to balance the game' - compared to 'the rules say I can do this without conditions': Majestic...

As posted earlier, the rapidly revised title for our clone+ based on original rules by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson is Corruption. Not going to repeat all the blurb put up before. Instead this is to point to the top-level page for the widely-compatible OSR resources now posted as samples and...

Absolutely right - the three given aren't necessarily linked and Mike Mearls has previously posted that he's looking to bring down combat times. You're talking to the long converted here on options and modularity, as both the systems I've done so far have been very focused on that. However...

This is roughly why I expect a rules-medium 5e. Buffers want to buff, tacticians want to demonstrate rules expertise and players who enjoy a two hour mega-battle will continue to look forward to BBGs. It's perhaps not necessarily pure 'me-ism' so much as style and familiarity. I may prefer a...
