Before I ever touched a D&D book, I was absorbed by Shadowrun. This was thanks largely to the SNES and Genesis games. I can still remember the first time I played them. SNES first and then the Genesis game later. In between the 2 I learned of the trilogy of novels about Sam "Twist" Verner...

Not “most detailed” in a curated, single-author sense—but in terms of sheer volume of material? Nothing else even comes close. Think about what’s stacked into the Forgotten Realms over the years: Hundreds of novels Entire character-driven sagas (Drizzt alone could fill a bookshelf), plus tons...

Saw a random advert on FB for Inspirisles. An all ages RPG that teaches some sign language basics while playing the game. Inspirisles Link After seeing the movie CODA which has become one of my GOAT films I decided to try to learn ASL. Sadly, it's really hard when you have no one to sign...

I didn’t get into it until Requiem though I absolutely loved Bloodlines 1. I had friends who wanted me to try it but I was in my “D&D or nothing phase”. I want to hear about your experiences before Requiem. How amazing was it? How big was it in your area? Did it bring more women to the...

I was watching the WoD documentary and it got to a part where Mark Rein-Hagen goes to Hollywood to get VtM tv stuff done and due to expenses there he goes home and finds the company in financial distress and he in ultimately kicked out by his partners (who are also brothers). Like TSR what...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackbook/shadowrun-anarchy-20?ref=user_menu I think SRA was the best version of SR in a while. Simply due to it being rules lite. Add a couple of house rules (like just run it normal with 1 GM) and it's more or less fine. 2.0 seems to fix a lot of...

As a Master Thief.... The Gamers series. Perhaps the greatest D&D movie(s) ever made.

I started D&D in 2E. Pretty much all of D&Ding I prefer the basic Tolkien species. Elves Dwarves Humans etc. Played WoW and yeah cow people and goblins and Orcs and whatever as PCs. Yeah ive read all the official an unofficial splat books on monster races. Even modern D&D with Dragonborn...

I'm in my late 40s. I often meet people and chat with them about hobby stuff around my job area. Every so often I meet someone mentioned D&D/RPGs and they show an interest. "Oh I've always wanted to try that." or "I used to play 10+ years ago." Etc etc. So I invite them to my weekly game at...

Wanted to run a Firefly style game set in the Empire Era. Well we had our first session. A group of Mercs just trying to stay flying. The first adventure is basically the Tatooine Manhunt adventure with some changes here and there. PCs: 2 Mando Bounty Hunters (Thanks Disney) 1 Gungan Kid...

Some of the BG3 crew and some others are making their own Live Play podcast D&D thing. Premise being that some actors are swept away to a magical land full of D&D adventure! The have a patreon to get the episodes early and insider stuff. https://www.patreon.com/c/d3pod/posts Ive never...

I've ran several 5th ed adventures and played in a couple. I am currently running the Dragonlance adventure. The early bits had you level up every 1-5 fairly quickly. Saw some slowdown with 5 and 6 then ramped back up so the party does the last chapter at level 10. Basically, the group...

It's pretty well known that SRA is the best version of SR. "Is that true?" You say. Yes because while I love SR I hate it's system. It's a bloated mess that takes advanced mathematics (partly joking) to do combat. I say this as someone who has played every edition since basic 2E. Not to...

You are fresh level 1 characters. You are playing in a sandbox style game. You have many options to explore. Caves and temples and whatever. Riches and glory and treasure no matter where you go. One rumor says a cave full of monsters has a magic (+1) sword hidden somewhere inside. Is it...

Played in the official Icewind Dale campaign a year back and due to a massive plan that backfired, the famous Ten Towns became One Town. Basically we thought we could call the dragon back to his home base instead of running back to town and fighting him. Oops.

I've been trying to get new players for my 5.5 meat space game and it's like pulling teeth. I've discussed this in other threads so not to rehash that but as a segway to another topic: What do you want out of your D&D/RPG games? Since starting at the tail end of 2E the games Ive played in and...

I see the core book has gone from my previous DLed version of like 2 to now 4. I can't seem to find a change log / errata list. Anyone know where I might find one? I want to see whats different in my dead tree copy. Thanks!

In my attempt to try 5.5 I was trying to decide between running the Dragonlance Adventure or the Planescape one. I was heavily considering the Planescape one when I noticed that it starts at level 3. I was wanting to give my group the full 5.5 experience by starting at level 1 and heading up...

Decided to play it straight before doing houserules. Things that came up: Paladin somehow doing 20 plus damage at level 1. That's a good smite. (Healing) Potions as a Bonus Action. This was not unknown to me. Lay on Hands is also a Bonus Action. What? Healer's Kit is 5gp for TEN auto...

I know current editions tend to barely mention the Native American elements that inhabited earlier editions and their lore. But just cutting it all seems easy way out instead of re-adapting things. I’m not a scholar on Native American stuff but what would Shadowrun need to change to bring that...
