    Is TTRPGing an "Expensive Hobby"

    I would say, "No." That isn't to say it is everyone's or even most people's budget. A couple going to a movie and getting drinks/snacks there can easily run $50. Typically that is roughly 2-3 hours of entertainment for 2 people. While my Dungeon Fantasy RPG boxed set ran $80 and the kickstarter...

    What TTRPGs have the best tactical combat rules?

    I'll toss in my $0.02. I think GURPS. In part because the base version allow and supports from theater of the mind up to where terrain, facing position and team work are deciding factors in a battle. Because of the modular design, it works to use any of those levels of tactics. Most of the...

    Best Supporting Actors — an OSE character collection

    I'll note that this is Doug's 16th crowdfunding project. He has delivered on all of them. The quality is consistently good for writing, art work, and publishing for both the pdf and physical products. This is not the sort of kickstarter where you need to question if you get the stuff. The only...

    Nightmare Fuel — Three New Monster Books for DFRPG

    A few notes on this project (which I have also backed). This is something like Doug's 16th or 17th crowdfunding project. All previous ones have delivered, except the OSE which he is in the process of shipping now. The books have high production value. The editing is good. The art is amazing...

    Commentary thread for that “Describe your game in five words” thread.

    Clearly I've been off the site for a while. I was running I Smell A Rat for the DFRPG game I have in a FLGS. It was initially intended as a one shot demo back in mid May. I had enough people ask if I was running the next week that agreed to do so. This Monday will be the second week we don't...

    Can you name a good fantasy TTRPG that's not D&D?

    I'll add that I used the Delvers To Grow DFRPG supplement to run a pick up game (!) in a local game store back in May. That game is still going strong and adding a new player or character is like 15 minutes rather than the typical hour plus to make a GURPS character. For both DFRPG and GURPS...

    Kickstarter musings

    From reading the thread (and talking to some other backers of KS projects that I have backed), there seems to be a number of different flavors of how people want updates. Personally, I want them as often as you've got them, up to once per day. Others prefer a weekly or monthly cadence. This...

    Worlds of Design: What the Future Holds for RPGS - Part 2

    For me the session length is largely determined by whether we are face to face or using a VTT. The VTT sessions tend to be shorter (2-3 hours typically, with a 4 hour max.) The in person ones are typically 3-4 hours with a 5 hour max.
