I'm a big fan of Chris' work. I've also been following the development of this game for a few months. I wonder if anyone else had a healthy amount of play with either Into the Odds and Electric Bastionlands are are excited for it. Into the Odds had such a big impact on the indie scene of...

Alright, so this is not a rant. It's something that'd been nagging in the back of my mind for several months now and I've wanted to exchange with someone to kind of understand my own thoughts and feelings about the matter. I've been playing D&D since about 2000 with 3rd edition. I've only...

Hi! I have no idea if this is the kind of topic that's allowed on ENWorld, but as there's many folks here with publishing and design experience, I figure I might ask. Short background, I work as a game designer in the videogame industry. I'm pretty confident in my abilities and methods in that...

Being a big fan of Conan and Sword and Sorcery, I've been looking into possible products to eventually explore these genres. I've also been interested in exploring the OSR movement, which has been difficult because of the sheer number of options. That's when I stumbled on Hyperborea by North...

I was thinking about the other thread about our buying habits for RPG products; and tonight I just finished my second session ever of Forbidden Lands and I was reflecting on what I found difficult, easy, good, bad and what I learned from my experience. I'm sure we all pulled some lessons or...

Hi! Going through blogs about TTRPGs is something I really enjoy and I'll frequently find an article from one I don't know about and add it to my feed. So I thought, why not see what other people have to recommend. I'm personally really interested in blogs that talk about TTRPGs as a whole...

Hi! I recently purchased Burning Wheel because I've been hearing so much about it. I'm about 2/3rd through my first reading. So far I'm loving it, it's very different to many games coming out lately and it's from a tabletop style of play that I'm not too familiar with. It's obvious that it is a...

I saw the name before, but it never picked me interest. But a friend of mine told me he was considering getting it. Degenesis RPG will be discontinued as the publisher calls it a day I don't know if the publisher had created games before, how long the game ran before turning to a...

I posted this in TTRPGs General. Moment from any tabletop RPGs are welcome! So, the question is simple, what's your proudest DM moment? I often share stories with other DMs I know in person. All DMs are different, so are their players and the games they play. So if can be any of these things...

Hi! This is something that came up is almost, if not all of my campaigns, and I never quite found a satisfactory way to approach it. What happens is that, either because it fits the character, the story or the environment in which they are, a player will ask to look around for interesting book...

Hi! I don't see many threads about DMing, asking for feedback or ideas, but I thought why not! I'm designing a short dungeon for my group for next weekend. They'll make their way into the demiplane hideout of a reclusive wizard that's now made from solitude. I've put in several different type...

So, I don't buy setting books. I've never been interested in the core settings of D&D, they've always felt excessively generic to me. But to be fair, I also never really dug to see what else is available; both in term of older editions and 3rd party. So lately, after putting one too many hours...

So, I'm continuing the TTRPG expedition that I began after the start of the pandemic. I've invested a good amount of money and time in the past two years to explore different systems: Zweihander, Symbaroum, Forbidden Lands, Vampire the Masquerade, Lancer, etc. One type of product that I haven't...

So, lately I have acquired half a dozen new TTRPGs. Can't wait to try them. In the meantime, I've been reading them. I'm obviously not done, but for several of them, I jumped around looking for one information I couldn't find: the recommended number of players. The number of player is something...

The thread about the Ability Score Increases is still going strong. A bit too strong for my taste, but I do jump in to read samples of it. In the last few pages, I've seen a few posts circling around the topic of cookie-cutter characters, classes having a critical ability score that needs to be...

Hi! I know there's several people on these forums that designed games, made books out of them and got to printing them, and today I'm interested in seeking a bit of knowledge. I work in video games and for months I've been trying to convince the stakeholders of the company to diversify and...

Hi, I recently splurged some money at my local gamestore and bought Modiphius's Conan core rulebook, but I also snatched a copy of Free League's Symbaroum core rulebook. They're two very different systems and I've been enjoying reading through them. But I think Symbaroum is the most intriguing...

So, I've introduced ton of people to D&D. But most of them were people of around my page that have some good grasp of popular culture (fantasy, sci-fi, superheroes, etc), played some board games before and just generally have similar references as I do. It's been pretty easy to use these...

A little while back, I commented on a news concerning Vampire 5th edition that its release was a mess. Four companies went through making products for it: White Wolf, Modiphius, Onyx Path and now Renegade Games. There's been some erratas and fixes to the content of sourcebooks, but it's unclear...

Troy Lavallee of The Glass Cannon Network (link) made several announcements regarding their network. I'm not super knowledgeable about all their shows, but I know their main podcast (Pathfinder) is very popular, bringing them to over 11,000 patrons on Patreon, and their second show, Android &...
