My birthday was the 8th. On the 9th, I got hit hard with Arcturus COVID and am still down (bad). Some of my birthday presents have started to trickle in (Burning Wheel Gold Revised, El Raja Key Archive) and I have a few more on the way (OSRIC A5, Planet Eris, ORCUS, and some WotC 4e setting...

I'm no fan of Eli Roth and no fan of video game films in general (thanks, Uwe Boll), but the trailer for the new Borderlands film actually looks like a bunch of fun! I look forward to seeing this one in theaters!

I'm trying to fund some real food (Ramen and Stouffer's lasagna only go so far). Lend a helping hand and get some TTRPGs (and adjacent material) for 30% off retail price until March 19 2024! Grab my entire commercial Itch catalog for just under $60! Get it all HERE.

I'm aware of Far Trek. Are there any other unofficial Star Trek RPGs that should be on my radar? (I know I missed an excellent opportunity for a pun there.)

For Christmas do I acquire the Traveller5 slipcase or Empire of Ghouls + Midgard Worldbook?

I'm not a huge Pathfinder fan, but after my brush with Spelljammer 5e, it seems like Starfinder is definitely the way to go for "D&D in space" with more publisher support than a single (pretty railroaded) campaign (and better support for creating your own adventures). So... I already own the...

The year is 2023. You are a homicidal killer haunting an abandoned (roll 1d6) 1-2: summer camp, 3-4: mental hospital, 5-6: mansion. When encountering a cocky teenaged urban explorer, roll 2d6. On a 7+ you maul that teen to death. On a 6- the teen gets lucky and injures you. Good news! You're a...

I've fallen on hard times financially due to a DHS paperwork mishap (my paperwork, despite being submitted a month in advance, was not processed on time) and I need to raise $165 and change to cover expenses for November, so I'm running a 50%-off blowout sale for all of my Itch PDF products...

So, in the unpopular opinions thread, I mentioned that I think the only official books you need to get a good, long-running, Shadowrun campaign off the ground are the Seattle Sourcebook, Shadowbeat, and Sprawl Sites. I didn't include a system, because I don't use any specific system (I've used...

So, I've recently become enamored with Head Lopper, a series of comics that follows the titular Head Lopper, Norgal, and his companion, Agatha Blue Witch (or, rather, the animated severed head of Agatha Blue Witch). Can anybody recommend a system that: A. Presents a ton of options for martial...

Kind of a long shot here, but does anybody have access to a legal (i.e. official) .pdf character sheet for the old Legacy: The War of Ages RPG (pretty much Highlander with the serial numbers filed off)? Battlefield Press somewhat recently re-published a streamlined version of the rules, which I...

I'm hypothetically interested in trying a new-ish Middle Earth TTRPG. Which of the following should I pick up and why?

What It Is: Six-Hack is a simple set of guidelines for roleplaying in the spirit of The Original Fantasy Roleplaying Game (1974). It pays homage to that classic game, but introduces some modern sensibilities, as well. For example, it includes a unified action resolution system, an Action Point...

Six-Hack, the game that started off as a hack of OD&D (1974) has had its 17th iteration released under a CC license today. Damage causing spells and healing spells have been added, some of the monster entries have been edited (primarily for brevity, but also to step away from the OGL), and (as...

So, I am a huuuuuuuuuge fan of Powers & Perils's Perilous Lands setting, but not such a huge fan of the system. I do have the fan-created second edition P&P that addresses a lot of the issues with the Avalon Hill original, but it's still not great. The setting, though, WOWZA. It's primarily...

Help me brainstorm a name for my GURPS Black Ops campaign? I'm actually using Mythic D6 as the rule set, rather than GURPS proper. I also have an idea of where I want the campaign to start and progress (it'll start off using a modified version of the Delta Green adventure Need to Know). I need a...

Wyrm Game Simulacrum, my FKR attempt for use with material for The World's Most Popular Fantasy RPG, has been updated and bundled with a campaign starter adventure module. Although no longer, free, it'll only set you back $3 (US) - the normal cost for the adventure alone. Get it here!

Law Bringers has received a significant update in the form of referee advice (particularly with regard to setting up conflicts for the PCs to resolve) and clarification on when PCs can declare/change their stance in combat. Still PWYW on Itch.

So, tonight I pulled together some notes and created a diceless RPG in the FKR (Free Kriegsspiel Revolution) vein. Please, give it a look and rate it from crap (one star) to brilliant fun (five stars)! It's PWYW at the moment. Get it here.

So, I've had some banking trouble over the last month and need to sell some of my RPG books to raise funds. Is there a forum for that here?
