    It's Time to VOTE for your MOST ANTICIPATED TTRPG of 2026!

    I only chose two; Mistborn and The Black Company, I hadn't even heard of most of them. As an aside, does anyone else have issues seeing if they actually selected something if using the site in dark mode? Anytime I participate in a poll here I have to change to light mode to see if there is...

    When and where did you learn about Greek/roman and others mythology?

    I graduated high school in 1986 in the USA and I remember taking a mythology class in high school and college. I feel like I also had one in elementary or junior high (I moved a lot so those all would have been different school systems in different states). Plus I have always been an avid reader...

    Savage Pathfinder character design

    Thanks for the feedback. The only reason I am considering not using the converted classes is that after so many years of playing D&D and Pathfinder I'm kind of bored with the standard classes. I can easily adjust the players or monsters power level to balance things out. I was considering...

    Savage Pathfinder character design

    I'm not sure how popular Pathfinder for Savage Worlds are on this board but I was looking for some opinions from other players. I am going to be running Rise of the Runelords and I am thinking about abandoning the converted classes and letting my players design their characters using the...

    Tell me about the RPG section of your local game store

    I end up buying most of my RPG stuff online too. I don't play D&D or Pathfinder and the games I play that are among the few my FLGS stocks are missing the items I am looking for.

    Tell me about the RPG section of your local game store

    There are a few in Columbus, OH but only two I visit. The one I go to the most is The Guardtower but I don't go often since I have as much RPG material and boardgames as I need currently (not want, but need) and they moved to a new location that is further from me. They are mostly dedicated to...

    Streaming Services: Discussion and Power Rankings

    Better Netflix gets their hands on it than the Ellisons but enough with these huge mergers already.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    This a pretty long thread so this may have been brought up already but I don't think D&D 3.5's default setting, at least at publication, was Eberron. A quick glance at the list of deities in the Player's Handbook seems to indicate it was Greyhawk. Greyhawk didn't see much in the way of...

    Science Fiction: Greatest TV Shows Part III

    Fair. I just assumed that all posts auto-updated to make sure they were current ;)

    Renegade to Reprint Lords of Waterdeep

    I didn't realize the game was out of print. I have the game and expansion and play it often. Great game.

    Science Fiction: Greatest TV Shows Part III

    Disallowing The Expanse seems arbitrary. While the show is based on a series of novels and it did not tell the story of the last three books, the show itself ends with what felt like a satisfactory ending. Even though we were left with unanswered plot threads I am sure we can all think of some...

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    I'm surprised how few votes D&D 5E is getting. I don't think it made anyone's list. I'm also surprised that D&D 2E (my favorite edition) got as many votes as it has, granted it was only a few. Edited - Apparently I didn't pay close enough attention and 5e did make people's lists, maybe it's...

    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    Medium rare but, depending on how well it's cooked, I can get by on medium.

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    SWADE Call of Cthulhu I own all of the Forged in the Dark games but haven't played any yet but I would probably pick one of those. They all sound interesting and it would give me something new to try out.

    Other D&D Variant What is your favorite version of D&D offshoot/D20 fantasy today? Tell us why it is the best!

    For a long time it was Pathfinder 1E but over the past few years it's Castles & Crusades. It feels like AD&D 1E & 2E but is really simple to run and converting old AD&D adventures on the fly is super easy.

    Spoilers What do casual fans get wrong about Star Wars?

    There is a pretty wide chasm of Star Wars fans that falls between those two camps. I've watched all of the movies, Disney+ shows and most of the cartoons and read a small amount of the early, no longer canon, novels and a very small number of the original Marvel Star Wars comics that started...

    How many were abused due to their love of D&D, RPGs, and related items when they were young?

    I did have some ex-girlfriends who didn't like my gaming but mostly because of how often I played, and if I was playing 4 - 5 nights a week I couldn't blame them. I have had a consistent gaming group (members have changed over time but still...) since the mid 1990's and Sunday is the night we...

    Castles & Crusades spell components

    I'm getting ready to run a Castles & Crusades campaign so I have been re-reading the rules. The Castle Keepers Guide seems to recommend having a method for your player's to keep track of components to keep high level casters balanced but, so far, doesn't really give any details as to how other...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    I am sure the government has looked into both, our government has investigated all kinds of things. However, I have no reason to believe they have evidence that either exist (if by UFOs you mean space ships, not just flying stuff we can't identify). Check out https://mickwest.com/ for some good...
