Looks like I'll be moving to the New Berlin, NY area some time in the next couple of months. That's roughly halfway between Uitica and Sydney or Oneanta. I'm 60 years old, but I usually get mistaken for 10 years younger, and almost everyone I game with is younger. I've been playing rpgs since...

I've been playing the UA fighter for a while, and I have some thoughts. This got me wondering what other peoples' experiences have been with the UA playtest class revisions. I like that the fighter has a new layer of options in combat now. A lot of this comes from Weapon Mastery, but also...

As a note: I have no involvement with this project, other than the creators - Cloud Curio - have a local brick-and-mortar store, and I have enthusiastically backed this Kickstarter. Monstrous is basically a system-neutral monster sourcebook, emphasizing "flavor and narrative impact", with rich...

I've got a bit of a hankering to run a short- or mid-length (i.e. not months and months of weekly gaming) game set in the Feywild, or with a good chunk of activity there. So I guess something 2-8 sessions long? I'm not married to 5E's version of the Feywild, or even "the Feywild" as a specific...
