Starting up a new campaign, running Savage Worlds, which uses a deck of playing cards as mechanical support in a few places. While I have playing cards around the house, this struck me as an opportunity. Folks get special dice and dice storage, GM screens, tneire gamign tables. But how about...

Earlier this week, my group finished playing through The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. One of my players is going to run a short arc game ("Always/Never/Now" - a game about semi-retired cyberpunk operatives that had largely retired, but must come back together for one last run), to give me setup...

In an unfortunate turn of events, my wife's car just got totaled. She absolutely needs one for work, so we are buying a car post-haste, and we are planning to go electric if at all possible. In her line of work, a hatchback is absolutely essential, and being smaller is also pretty important -...

Hey @darjr if this is your baliwick, can you check on this one? If I can't get a code, I can't log in.

Some food for thought while you argue mercilessly with people on the internet over games.... "From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you...

I recently backed the Old Gods of Appalachia crowdfunding campaign, and as that goes through fulfillment, I realized that I haven't actually run much horror, and played only a little. Which is not to say that I haven't run and played games with traditionally horror tropes and enemies. But most...

This is the last d20 you will ever need.

Hi, all! EN World stopped having a "marketplace" forum, because it never worked as well as eBay, craigslist, and other similar dedicated sites. But right now, we may have folks here who are rather cheesed off at WotC, and want out of D&D, and are looking to dump their collection of books. And...

This is a (+) thread. If you aren't interested in talking about what we'd find acceptable in a new license, please find another discussion. We are talking a lot about what isn't acceptable. But, let us think in terms of a counter-offer. 1) No OGL is revoked. Create the OGL v1.0b - it is...

Currently watchable for free on the Roku Channel streaming service. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Weird Al, in a parody of rock biopics. I've been a Weird Al fan for a long, long time, so I was looking forward to this. It doesn't reach the heights of UHF, but it is okay, in a "Good bits in a...

Coyote & Crow is a role-playing game set in a North America that never was - in which world events prevented the European exploration and colonization of the continent, leaving the indigenous people to develop on their own. The kickstarter for this game fulfilled this year, and now they're...

Rob Donoghue is a roleplaying game designer who helped create Fate (in general, and several of the specific variants) and Cortex systems. Recently, he made some observations on GM advice, leaning heavily into one point - it is very difficult to test whether the advice actually works or not...

Shut up and take my money!

Well, this sounds... a little strange, to be honest. https://www.tor.com/2021/09/27/babylon-5-the-cw-j-michael-straczynski/ https://deadline.com/2021/09/babylon-5-series-reboot-j-michael-straczynski-development-cw-1234845022/

Most of you won't care, but the musical group ABBA is releasing a new album, and have made a couple of cuts from it available. One of the songs is "Don't Shut Me Down", a song that seems to be about a woman who has gone through some changes, and has returned to try an old romantic relationship...

"UK-based production company Warp Films has formed a creative and commercial partnership with Anglo-French producing and financing outfit Anton to develop a slate of features and television series with an international focus. Anton will finance a development fund to identify high-value IP and...

This place seems rather appropriate for the collected nerds here... https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/12227-E-Tallman-Rd-Chattaroy-WA-99003/23588709_zpid/

For fans of the original, Leverage: Redemption has dropped a day early on IMDb TV. (which is a free streaming service, but you'll have ads.) I'm not going to engage in spoiler-discussion, because I don't binge-watch. But I'm looking forward to this. The original is tne first show I ever...

Sometimes, you see a work, and you just have to admire the commitment. Like, how else can they possibly do this silly thing, except by OWNING it...

I hadn't watched this show when it originally ran from 2011-2016. My wife and I started on it a couple of years ago, and have even making our way slowly through it (we aren't binge-watchers, you see). It is now on HBO Max, and I got to the finale tonight. I think it is one of the most finely...
