A few days ago Paizo started a new playtest for a upcoming book. The test is called Tech-Revolution and contains a new class and a new combat system. https://paizo.com/starfinderplaytest The class is called Nanocyte and is basically a futuristic version of a shifter whos body contains nanites...

No real world discussion please... In most fantasy games racism is the core component which allows adventurers to go out, kill things labled evil or just "powerful and inhuman" and take their stuff. I wonderd how you could bring this up in a game, not as a central theme but more of a side story...

So with it being out for a while now has anyone played SR6 yet and can comment on how well the new edition fares? From what I read I am highly sceptical of the new edge system but I would like to hear some playtest reports about it.

Just to throw it out there, in an interview Chris Cocks mentioned that they have 7 or 8 D&D video games planned, although he did not mention what quality levels they will be. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-12-11-expect-seven-or-eight-dungeons-and-dragons-video-games-in-the-coming-years

Netflix is producing an MtG animation series. It will be a completely new story and not a remake of an existing one. Directory are the Russo brothers (Avenger). The authors are Henry Gilroy (Star Wars Rebels, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Jose Molina (Marvel's Agent Carter, The Tick) Yoriaki...

Not sure if the thread should be here or in the Misc. Forum So Larian, the creators of Divine Divinity, have posted a new teaser picture on their front page showing a III In the metadata of that picture the name "BaldursGate logo III" can be found and a copyright entry for Wizards of the Coast...

So I looked into Starfinder, expecting a default fantasy world with some names altered and technology added. In some regards SF is exactly that and you have your thief race, your warrior race and so on. But what strikes me as interesting is that at least according to the lore humans are not the...

I am currently in a mood for a fantasy/sci-fi mix (space opera) but there are not that many settings for this that I know of. Starfinder would be one option, but I always have some concerns when it comes to modern or scifi settings and a D&D inspired D20 setting. Mostly because of the high HP...

Maybe I am wrong but I have the impression that for some time now (a decade at least) there has been an ever increasing dislike for complexity and calls for ever simpler "rules light" systems. D&D 5E is already much simpler than previous editions like 3E and 2E, yet people still look for even...

Having recently read the newest developments of the Shadowrun metaplot I wondered what type of settings the GMs and players prefer. A static setting that gets described once, or at least once a edition and never changes or a setting that has ongoing plots and changes during the lifetime of an...

So after the Pathfinder MMO disappeared it seems they have another try at bringing Pathfinder onto the PC (and possibly other platforms). This time it will be a single player isometric RPG, similar to the recently released Torments: Tide of Numenera and Pillars of Eternity. Also, instead of...

Just out of interest, do you think you are are problem player? Let me start, I admit that I am hard to game with or at least to please. Thats because I consider every challenge to be a puzzle and I want to solve it myself (or rather I want the group to solve it). And I get very disappointed...

Looks like Paradox is finally doing something with the White Wolf license. https://www.paradoxinteractive.com/en/white-wolf-partners-with-focus-home-interactive-for-a-video-game-adaptation-of-the-world-of-darkness-storyteller-game-werewolf-the-apocalypse/ Interested that is is a Werewolf game...

Just wondering how much politics your campaigns or home brew settings usually have. And if it is more than just a simple background, what styles of governments do you use? Only simple monarchies? God king style monarchies from the Incas/Aztecs? (Trade) Republics? Constitutional monarchies (see...

Seems like the newest version of "Das Schwarze Auge"/"The Dark Eye" is in the process of being translated via Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1216685848/the-dark-eye-rpgenglish-edition DSA is basically the german D&D. D20 system heroic fantasy with Tolkien races. It is a little...

As 5E made the noble a run of the mill background everyone can take I wonder how do you handle PC nobles in the game? Historically being a noble gave you a lot of power. Nobles had a lot more rights than peasants. Depending on the culture they could kill disrespectful peasants at will (Japan)...

Has anyone found any other uses for ball bearings than just for tripping people? Especially as 1000 ball bearings seem a bit excessive to cover such a small area. How big are those balls anyway? Edit: I should read D&Ds definition of the word "ball bearing" first instead of assuming they mean...

Something I encountered several times now is that when there is a discussion about a rule because there are multiple ways to interpret it or that it offers no help at all for the DM to adjudicate it someone comes and praises the rule as being intentionally vague so that the DM can interpret it...

Some time ago there was the announcement of weekly System Spotlights (although the Shadowrun one lasted a lot longer than a week). Whatever happened to that idea? Also, has the Shadowrun Spotlight been archived somewhere?

I recently got me some Traveller books (Mongoose to be exact) and I just want to ask if there are any Traveller players out there to offer some guidance and advice for new beginners and would also be willing to answer some questions? I already got one as when reading the Aslan book it is not...
