    GMing without an inner monologue.

    I just got done watching The Killer (2023) which features a character that is constantly thinking to himself. Once it was over, I hopped online to read other's reviews of it and became puzzled at a few responses that didn't understand the "inner monologuing" that was happening. That led me down...

    Quest for the Lost Pixel, the ultimate dungeon crawler board game!

    Finally had a chance to play this board game and been having a blast, so wanted to get the word out to anyone who might be interested in a "Rogue like" dungeon crawler. Premise of the game is to assemble a party of heroes and delve 10 levels down in search for the Lost Pixel artifact. Once in...

    OSR Hackmaster available via Bundle of Holding!

    Anyone who loves AD&D and who really loves crunchy rules, Hackmaster is on Bundle of Holding on deep discount! This game gets so much right... where to start? Maybe that anytime I see a post in the vein of, "I like D&D, but I don't like...", I almost always think to myself, "Hackmaster fixes...

    ENNIE Award Winners?

    Have the ENNIE Award Winners been posted here yet? Nothing is coming up from searching. Feels awkward going to Reddit to see and have discourse over it.

    D&D General What Edition was it?

    Too fun not to share! Questing Beast quizzes Mike Mearls, Seth Skorkowsky, and Kelsey Dionne on their D&D edition knowledge. I had a blast playing along (even though I wasn't scoring nearly as well, haha).

    Trailer Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

    So excited! I loved the first game and have been dying to continue Henry's storyline. Read this one is suppose to be twice as big too! Curious to other's thoughts and feelings about the first game and who else is excited about this announcement!

    OSR Baptism of Fire RPG

    I just picked up RPGPundit's latest RPG, Baptism of Fire, because the quasi-historic Polish setting sounded cool, but was surprised and impressed with the use of AI/public domain art throughout. I was pretty "meh" on AI before, but seeing a 300+ page RPG jammed pack with colorful, faux-painted...

    OSR Dragonslayer RPG truly delivers.

    My last thread about Dr. Greg Gillespie's RPG Dragonslayer was quite the dumpster fire, so hoping this time around things could be a bit more civil. I was certainly disappointed the conversation got shutdown so quickly, but with so little information about the game at the time and how angry the...

    D&D 5E Dante's Inferno for 5E

    I don't really buy 5E products anymore, but the setting material and artwork for this campaign set in Dante's Inferno was too good to pass on. So far, I've read through the "Player's Handbook" portion, and really like what they've done. Characters are made exactly like they are in Core, but...

    Fever Knights

    Just picked this game up from a small bookstore while I was on travel. I loved the art and retro-gaming vibe. Was kind of bummed there wasn't much talk about it online so thought I'd post about it here. Here's the elevator pitch: Unboxing by the designer: Going to devour it this weekend...

    Dungeon Synth!

    Dungeon Synth has been my "go to" background music for writing/running adventures for awhile now. A quick search revealed mentions of the genre, but no dedicated thread, so decided to make one! Post your favorites or any great albums you happen to come across here! I'll start:

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2E Remaster's Death and Dying rules are brutal.

    I don't know if I like the change made to Death and Dying... seems a bit much? Curious how others feel about it. For those unaware, the old dying rules: If you drop to zero or below, you are Dying 1 + Wounded value. Make a Recovery Check every round. Success reduces Dying by 1; failure...

    OSR ACKS 2

    Adventure Conqueror King System 2 is on Kickstarter! I'm constantly mining ideas from the first edition, so thinking about going in at $200 for all three hardbacks. They really do look beautiful... Anyone else going to back it?

    OSR Dragon Slayer RPG (Dr. Greg Gillespie)

    Surprised there hasn't been a thread discussing Greg's RPG Dragon Slayer that just dropped on Kickstarter. Looks to be his houseruled version of B/X "Advanced" (similar to Labrinth Lord) with some great "old-school" art work. Curious if anyone here has backed it? Oh, have to share the cover art:

    Blood and Doom: A WoD version of Conan.

    I ran across this free, 500+ page "Conan like" game from Modiphius and had to share. It looks like a solid game with great artwork. Reminded me of WoD since it uses a d10 dice pool for resolutions. If the premise seems interesting and you have some time, give it a look and let me know what you...

    Changing older content for Beyond?

    From Kwhan's Blog: This seemed like an odd decision to me. Between players who have no interest in older editions and players who just want play the game as they remembered it, I'm not sure who the market for this would be? Anyone here excited about this news?

    D&D General Preferred way of running large dungeon crawls?

    Over the years I have tried just about every method under the sun for running large dungeon crawls: VTT, large printed 1" grid maps, dungeon tiles, players mapping on graph paper, completely theatre of the mind, etc. I think I've discovered I'm happiest a large stack of dry-erase tiles with...

    Shadowdark looks so good!

    Questing beast just reviewed Shadow Dark and I couldn't click on the Kickstarter fast enough. How cool is this cover art? I also enjoyed the video the author, Kelsey Dionne, put out on how this project came about. Couldn't help but share. :)

    Physicists in RPGs

    Had a fun thought the other day while watching PBS Spacetime on YouTube... What if there were fantasy physicists in our RPGs that were making breakthroughs on discovering the "rules" that govern them? Would be a fun idea for an NPC I think. Like an eccentric D&D Gnome that realizes probability...

    Level Up (A5E) Curious about the design process.

    @Morrus I've been absolutely blown away by Level Up. I don't think I've ever read a 3rd party product that has understood the base game better than the company who wrote it since Pathfinder 1E. I've always been impressed with 5E's accessibility and universal appeal, but always knew there was...
