I think I'm going to start playing/running RPGs primarily online. In the past I've used Discord + Owl Bear Rodeo for this. But I want to look into a more dedicated VTT - and not Roll20 (for a number of reasons).* Do you have recommendations? *Since somebody elsewhere asked, not Roll20 because...

I have significantly downsized my RPG collection in the last 24 hours. I am keeping my copies of Ba5ic for my future fantasy RPG needs, though. Ba5ic, for those unfamiliar with it, is a simple fantasy RPG built on a chassis of 5e but with that old school feel. I love it, BUT the one thing I...

What the thread title asks, though 3rd party campaigns are absolutely fair game. Ebonclad has caught my eye for example (though it's more a series of adventures that happens to be linked to a thieves' guild rather than a true adventure path). I just picked up TotV and would like to run something...

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...

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...

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...

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.

The Conspiracy has been updated with clarifications and additional content. Still four pages. Still free. Get it here and kick The Other in the face:

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.

Get your free copy of my newest RPG, The Conspiracy. Based on my public domain Business Card RPG, The Conspiracy provides a complete game in four pages for exploring the bizarre and horrific, hiding it from humanity, who is not prepared to deal with the true nature of reality. YOU are the last...

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 :)

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...

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)...

Front Range Minimalist, a simple set of minimalist fantasy rules inspired by OD&D, FKR, and PbtA is now available for sale at both DriveThruRPG and Itch.

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...

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?

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...

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...
