    Fallout Tabletop: What are you doing/planning?

    Well, my Dragonlance campaign has become more popular than I thought it would, so it's delayed my original plan of running a 2d20 Fallout sandbox set in the metro Detroit area. But I'm slowly world building that - including recruiting one of my kids to make some evocative images. The TV show...

    D&D 4E Best VTT support for 4e?

    There seems like an active community on FG who run 4e. That’s the VTT I’ll be using when I (attempt to) set up my mini-4e hex crawl later this year.

    Definitely interested in this. Now, I’m just waiting for an official Dominion War supplement.

    Digital vs physical media which do you prefer?

    I was talking about pdfs mainly, not cloud services. I expect those to be secure. I didn’t expect the 4e tools to last forever tbh. Once you subbed, you had access to everything; didn’t think that would be in perpetuity. I paid it mainly for the tools themselves (used chargen and monster...

    Digital vs physical media which do you prefer?

    A mix. I read most digitally but get physical copies of ones I refer most like core books and a few adventures. I really like boxed sets that are worth it. Twilight 2000 and 5e come to mind.

    ECHO New Trailer

    Watched the first episode. I’m a fan. It’s in the trailers so not a spoiler per se: really liked the fight with Daredevil!

    D&D General D&D Loyalty?

    Not loyal at all. Been playing Savage Worlds (Seven Worlds, Deadlands and Invasion) and Mophidius (Fallout and STA) games all year. Oh, and a short stint with Aliens (FL). But I also play and run D&D (5e). Hoping finally to set up a hex crawl for 4e - that, or Dark Sun.

    What Is Your Favorite Campaign Setting?

    Dark Sun and Nentir Vale (and my D&D homebrews have been points-of-light campaigns like NV) Star Wars, Star Trek Gamma World (I’ve always played it “serious” but it’s gonzo aspects really came out in its last edition) Fallout (once a casual interest, now I’m a fan)

    What TTRPG Defied Your Expectations (in a good way)?

    Fallout 2d20. I was enjoying almost a year playing SWADE exclusively (still playing tho) and then tried this game. Having played STA, I expected something similar. Instead, I found myself really enjoying this for a few reasons: Much simpler system than STA I understood the CRB much better than...

    Grade the Hero System

    I'm a bit torn over what to vote. I eventually chose "It's pretty good" but it's more complicated than that. I started with Champions 1e and played mainly through 4e (not counting some dabbling with 5e). Played and GM'd countless hours of the system. HERO is a foundational rule set for me. What...

    Grade the Modiphius 2d20 System

    I voted "I love it." I just got into Fallout - played it online (Fantasy Grounds) and in person - and I can't get enough of it. It's just a fun iteration of the 2d20 system. I also played STA and really enjoyed that. Haven't GM'd it yet, and intend to, but there's more rules that I still need to...

    Favorite superhero RPGs?

    I've played most of the ones already mentioned, including MSH, V&V 1e (my first SH system) and DC Heroes. I've read ICONS but haven't played it yet, but intend to run it eventually. And others, like Underground, that I've read but unfortunately unlikely to run or play unless I convert it to a...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    This is an interesting statement. Would be very interested in seeing this elaborated in the book. Like, who are “they?” The marketing or brand team? The game designers? Both?

    D&D 4E Rambling thoughts about D&D 4th Edition

    More rambling thoughts: I had downloaded all the Dungeons and Dragons magazines before DDI expired...but they're on an old laptop that I'm currently not able to get into...and forgot to back them up :oops: I liked all the DMGs including the Essentials version, though admittedly, I didn't read...

    D&D 4E Rambling thoughts about D&D 4th Edition

    I saw 4e to be both simulationist and narrative; it has aspects of both that hits a sweet spot for me. Ultimately, I took 4e to mean "don't sweat the small stuff". Short rests were (generally) 5 min. I took that to mean a quick "breather" that often was not interrupted, but could be (and has...

    D&D 4E D&D 4E fans: what do you like about 4E?

    Much has already been written that I agree with. But here are a few highlights/additional comments: (NB: I skipped 3e so if these first appeared there, kudos!) Joy to GM: I took a hiatus away from D&D after 2e (skipped 3e due to RL being super busy at the time) but wanted to come back and try...

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    So, what is Project Cornerstone? And was there mention of revenue gained from D&D Insider?

    SWADE Fantasy Companion

    I've been playing in a sci-fi SWADE setting (Seven Worlds) so hoping to scratch a few itches on the fantasy side. First, I got a (fairly inexpensive but on discount) SW fantasy scenario on Drivethrurpg. It's a dungeon crawl, but will use that to try out how SWADE handles fantasy. Second, I've...

    SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE - Official Trailer

    Is this streaming now? Cuz I’ve stopped watching it in theaters (saw it twice) knowing I will eventually buy it.

    It's time to make fetch happen: Barbie Teaser 2, Now With More Gosling

    As mindless summer fare, it actually looks interesting. I’d see it if a friend suggest it. Otherwise, probably wait for streaming. However, it may be fun if they played it at a drive in on a nice summer day.
