I have these books, and they are absolutely beautiful. Just gorgeous to read through. I bought them because of @SlyFlourish, whose infectious enthusiasm for all things TTRPG is...well, infectious! With that said, I don't think my group and I will ever play them. It's seems a bit too whimsical...

In my game, players will take on the role of doorknobs in an abandoned factory that used to make wicker furniture.

Thank you, friends. All really helpful. I sat down yesterday and started banging away at it.

Not by me. At least, not up until now!

I have been playing--mostly GMing--ttrpgs since 1981. I've run and played numerous games: D&D (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th), Call of Cthulhu (2nd, 7th), Dragonbane, Castles&Crusades, and Dungeon Crawl Classics. I have run one shots, mini-campaigns, and full campaigns. I love running games! (I like being...

Cavill was excellent, but the tone of Snyder's vision was very dark; it was like watching "Justice League: Seattle in the 1990s". I still enjoyed them, but it was an aberration from the way Superman stories are normally told. Gunn's Superman was much truer to the hopefulness I have always found...

Oh, sorry man! By choices, I meant...stay or run. You didn't have 85 HP to spend playing "Chop Down the Fighter." You had 11.

"Pull up a chair, grandpa, and tell us about the olden days!" Well...back in my day, the only way you could find out about TTRPGs other than D&D was by going to a game store or reading Dragon, or White Dwarf, Magazines (which you could only find in games stores). Our knowledge of what was out...

Back when I used to play AD&D, I remember being frustrated by the hit point bloat. Combat felt like chopping down a tree. Part of what I like about BRP is that hit points are lower, and armor plays a larger part in protection during combat: not just an AC, but actual armor points. Once your...

I thought the Reforged editions just stripped out the OGL stuff (I don't have them, so I'm not sure how they differ)?

All fair points. Thanks, fellas.

If you don't mind my asking, how come?

Hey, friends. If you are a fan of Castles&Crusades, this is a good video interview of Stephen Chenault discussing their latest Backerkit project, but also some deep dive into the history of Aihrde. Highly enjoyable content! The Lord of the Trolls

Ultimately my group and I stopped playing 5e because we don't like the power gaming vibe or the softer tone of the game. If WotC was making something we liked, I'd buy it and play it without hesitation. But we all need to be clear-eyed: WotC/Hasboro is a big corporation that will do what big...

I can only speak for myself (naturally!), but I read a comment on Reddit a few years back that summarized my feelings about OSR vs 5e (for example): "what was once narrative is now mechanical." In other words, having been playing these game for a very long time, I prefer a lighter rules system...

I'm if'y on skirts in general, if I'm being honest. The Tholians wear a lot of skirts, but they are kind of crinkly and difficult to keep ironed. That's why in ST:TOS they only show them from the waist up. I bet you didn't know that.
