Ah. You're right. I've been mostly focused on single-dungeon adventures lately so I equated the two.

I think there's kind of a logical process everyone circles around. Have a concept, a setting or something that pushes you to want to write it. Have an idea bout the length, the system, the tone, etc. Then I think maybe people might do the concrete work in different order. Identify some key...

I don't think I have a formalized technique, but there's a few things I try to do. I have a cinematic mind. So I always try to have a motion to what I'm describing. From large to small, from left to right, from close to far, from large to small. There's a logical order to the things I describe...

For me it's always a matter of intent. If a show is clear that it's historical fiction and that they're taking creative liberties, I'm all in for the ride. But sometimes some movies or shows project the image that it's documentary, or historical in nature and then it's all over the place; that...

I'm not entirely against PDFs being priced higher. All the development behind the game was done just the same as with a print version. I definitely have a mental block when I see prices like that, but I'm not against it. What I don't agree with is when the PDF is not included with the print...

It's not Steampunk. But it borrows elements from it like from every other genres in existence. It's melting pot of cultural references, pulpy and geeky IPs. There's a little bit of everything.

Yeaaah, no. I'm good.

Lots of people seem to forget that Critical Role is a business before anything else. We don't know: What their budget is What their cashflow is What new projects, products, events, they have planned in the future What contractual agreements they already had What projections they had made Their...

I see a lot of online play through Discords use this model for obvious reason. They'll thematize the Discord around the hub (a village, a town, a region) from which all the adventurers are. DMs (there's often multiple ones) will put up some tentative dates for availability and random players...

I can't talk for Numenera as I haven't played it. But I've ignored most the attacks and features of monsters in D&D 5E. During prep, or even on the fly, I can adjudicate things with the toolbox that 5E is. You do get weird situations outside of the bound of rules during play anyway, the same...

It's always impossible to call current time the Golden Age of something with certainty, because that term is often used in comparison to the times coming before and after. But I can definitely say that in my lifetime, the RPG industry has never teemed with more products and ideas, and the...

A few weeks ago I bought Free League's The Electric State. Last week I received my copy of Mythic Bastionlands from the Kickstarter.

If they have a rotating format where each week one of the three groups is featured, that might give me time to at least follow one of the storylines!

Oh man. I don't know how I missed this thread. I don't tend to yuck other people's yum, but I'm very opinionated and love discussing art and culture. The Hobbit movies get a lot of hate. But I actually think the first one is absolutely excellent. The other two quickly go down in quality. I...

I own the Boxed Set and it's great. Robowieland is right that the PDF are free. The website also offers all the rules diffectly in the browser in addition to several modules conversion from popular systems. It also has an official app for character creation and party management called...

It doesn't seem to be the same for every store. Take MCDM's store, looking at the footer it does seem to be powered by Shopify. It says 89$. Now, because I exchanged with the fine folks around here, I now know that that's CAD. But nowhere on the page does it says what currency it is. There's...

Online stores. They offer you to shop in CAD, which is really convenient. Even more so when so many TTRPG stores don't even specify the currency in which the product is offered. I see 30$ and I have no idea which dollars it is.

Oh, I did tried it and loved it. 4e is one of the best TTRPG I played. I'm definitely going to read a bit more into your recommendations!

That seems a bit unfair.
