I am currently seeking a RPG - D&D, Savage Worlds, or World of Darkness - playable through the internet. This includes Skype, Discord, and similar platforms. (I live remotely). Also, I am in my 40s, and so seek a group of adults. Post here, or message me if this is possible for your group...

I am interested.

Rasputin is presented here in 5E D&D, but as a corollary: he also appears in the World of Darkness, as (somehow) a member of almost every vampire clan and bloodline, multiple types of ghosts, multiple types of mages, etc. It's not one Rasputin who possesses all of these qualities, but there are...

More than 10 years ago I wrote a book on liches for 3.5, "Lords of Sorrow." For the past few months I've been working on updating it. Right now it has; 6 templates (for 5E) or 6 prestige classes (for Pathfinder) Rules for creating special phylatceries A discussion of the transformation (they...

Never mind - I found a copy.

Hello All- I am looking for the essay "Hidden Art: Slouching Towards A Critical Framework for RPGs" by Robin D. Laws. I've found a lot of references to the essay, but not the essay. For example, the links for the article going to the Big Purple just lead to a 404 page. Can someone kindly point...

That is a reasonable assessment. But I think the campaign would be short, and the reveal would be in the first session. Maybe towards the end of the first session, to give people something to think about before the next game.

To judge by the critics, bottomless hatred. I would say it was an attempt to make digital play into analog play.

In the HBO series Westworld, the titular Westworld is a theme park with robots. The humans come and go, murder the robot bandits, sleep with robot prostitutes, and so forth. Then during a regular software upgrade, the robots go berserk and murder absolutely everyone. What if a GM were to flip...

On vacation I drove from Dallas, through the Texas panhandle, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington state. While watching the varied scenery, several thoughts occurred to me. One; Idaho is lousy with potato-monsters. Two; More seriously, what kind of topography do you describe in...

To each their own. But I must point out, every edition change and setting update is an exercise in cherry picking to some degree. It is inevitable. And the phlogiston feel too complicated to me. Complicated in a bad way, in a way that slowed down the game, the group-storytelling and so forth...

As much as I am predisposed to tragedy and fatalism, I don't think i would make a time travel RPG that fatalistic and tragic. It would kill a lot of the joy of a game. There will always be additional challenges and complications. If in a regular game the party defeats the crime boss or orc...

I understand the appeal of a universal map for D&D, but I don't think it would work. Or at least it would not be very useful. I do think dropping a lot of the complications from Spelljammer would be a good idea. The astral plane just becomes hyperspace, more or less. You sail around in the...

I will allow them in a game if a player asks about it. I've been gaming and running games since the early days on D&D 2E. These days I am less inclined to make my games pedantic and less likely to take rules and settings as proscriptive. I don't need to lecture the players on transsexual issue...

I made my initial post next year, and this response is from a week ago Tuesday. I think if the party is up for it, then a GM should allow time travel. And it should be possible to change history, but not easy. For example, preventing the deaths of Lincoln or Kennedy should be possible, but...

Let's say at some point over the next few months WotC announces some update to Planescape and/or Spelljammer. This may include cherry picking the best bits of each and combining them. What would you want out of such a setting, or supplement?

What are your thoughts about including time travel in your game?

That... sounds like a lot of fun, actually.

I thought that was Moorcock, not Mieville. Or did they both hit the same point? In any case, I am usually a fan of variations on a theme.
