    Good Television Mystery Series

    I'm a sucker for a good television mystery series. Currently, my two favorites are Murdoch Mysteries (an alt-history series with a focus on science) and Banacek (an older series starring George Peppard which, truth be told, I've watched in its entirety a few times). Are there any other good...

    Does anybody know what happened to Song of Swords?

    They released a POD core book and promised several follow-up books, including one that would provide rules for magic, but as far as I can tell, only the bestiary ever came out (and only as a PDF). Kind of a shame, as I think I would have really liked the game (I ended up not buying it because it...

    Adventure!

    I'm diving back into what I feel is one of the greatest pulp adventure RPGs ever (White Wolf's Adventure!) and am looking to pick up some good genre books from other game lines for use as inspiration/research (I already own Pulp Hero and GURPS Cliffhangers). Are there any other genre books I...

    Sale Possible IP Rights for Sale

    I need to build a financial reserve to prepare for the eventuality that my primary source of income (SSDI) should go away. To that end, I'm considering selling the IP rights to Six-Hack, the fantasy RPG that I Kickstarted last year. DM me if interested.

    Level Up (A5E) Has there been a second printing of A5e?

    I'm considering picking up A5e and was wondering if there has been a second printing of the rulebooks that incorporates the errata for the first printing books.

    Trying to remember the name of a RPG.

    My memory fails me. I remember that the game in question came in two volumes (a core rulebook and a campaign setting). It was definitely science fiction with heavy fantasy elements. I believe that the game in question was licensed under the OGL. I'm somewhat less certain on this point, but seem...

    I've updated one of my older RPGs just in time for the holidays! You can grab it as a PWYW (pay what you want) PDF at both Itch and DriveThruRPG - but I'd appreciate a tip to cover my work :)

    Sale Own the complete Six-Hack IP (with some conditions)

    Ok. Here's the deal. I Kickstarted a little fantasy RPG last year called Six-Hack and, despite hitting a lot of stumbling blocks along the way, I was able to get out a MOSTLY complete product last month. MOSTLY. The one big thing that is still missing is a regional map of the kingdom of...

    OSR What OSR System for Barrowmaze?

    I'm committed to running Barrowmaze in 2025, but am a little torn on what system to use. Labyrinth Lord is what Barrowmaze is explcitly written for, but the most current edition of that game (Advanced Labyrinth Lord) has quite a lot of errata (and has never been updated to include said errata)...

    Release Six-Hack has been released!

    Several months late (and missing a map that will be added later), Six-Hack has finally been released. If you backed the Kickstarter campaign at the $10 tier level, check your email inbox (including that pesky spam filter). If you did not back the Kickstarter campaign, you can get your copy over...

    OSR Barrowmaze (Introductory Module?)

    I'm planning on running a Barrowmaze campaign next year using either my own Six-Hack or Swords & Wizardry. Do any of you have a suggestion for a good module to use as a lead in to the larger Barrowmaze campaign?

    D&D General So... anybody still playing D&D 3e (not 3.5)?

    My favorite D&D setting of all-time (The Scarred Lands) was published for D&D 3e and, while some books were updated for 3.5 and a whole THREE books published for 5e (a sourcebook, a bestiary, and a campaign), most of them remain 3e only. So, this probably sounds slightly mad, but I've decided to...

    D&D General D&D Gets an Article in Smithsonian Magazine!

    In the July-August issue of Smithsonian, D&D gets a small, 2-page, article entitled "Changing the Game: The wizardry of Dungeons & Dragons sparked a revolution in how we play just about everything." Now, I have a subscription to Smithsonian, but honestly? It usually ends up as packing material...

    Good alternatives to proper miniatures?

    I'm looking to play some Five Leagues From the Borderlands (a kind of RPG+skirmish game mashup), but I am poor and cannot drop a lot of money on proper miniatures. What are some cheap alternatives? I'm aware of Pathfinder pawn boxes, which may be the most cost effective alternative for me, but...

    ACE (Awfully Cheerful Engine) Supplements?

    I very recently purchased a copy of ACE with some DriveThru publisher credit that I had accumulated. It looks like a great adaptation of WEG's early D6 System (as it existed in Ghostbusters). It looks like it can do a ton of fun stuff right out of the box, but I think I'll probably pick up some...

    Running adventures in systems that they were not designed for.

    So, I was wondering what adventures you have run in systems that they were not designed for. For example, I plan on running WTF's Witchburner in Fantasy Games Unlimited's Bushido sometime in the near future. The two seem like they were made for each other (even though they specifically weren't)...
