    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    TSR tested ascending AC with Gammaworld (4e 1992), and it was well received.

    TSR Why would anyone want to play 1e?

    I tried playing AD&D 1e solo but failed. 2e was more approachable. With optional rules turned off, it's 1e without the Gygaxian verbiage. 2e is not Lorraine's edition. She didn't participate actively in its creation. It's the David Zeb Cook edition. From what I recall, he wanted to go further...

    RPG-style Board Games

    I own Maladum (Fantasy) and Core Space by Battle Systems. They are what I call quasi-RPG board games. The characters have special skills, can gain new ones and go up in level. The base games come with a campaign book. The terrain is awesome, but assembly is required. You can play them coop...

    Are Game Lines Smaller Today?

    The industry went from all you can eat buffet cornucopia, to 5 course meals with wait time between service, for each RPG.

    Critical Role Announces Age of Umbra Daggerheart Campaign, Starting May 29th

    We enjoyed the first episode and will keep watching. The CR crew gave a good show. Knowing it's only 8 episodes helps. I'm not buying the RPG since I have no use for it. My group doesn't do fantasy campaigns, and I don't see myself soloing it.

    Chaosium Names New CEO, Mike Mearls Departs Company

    FFG is already selling Arkham board games and LCG. Why would they let another company cash in on the RPG segment since they have Edge Studios? It makes perfect sense to me. Being a board game player or an LCG player is not mutually exclusive from playing RPGs. We've been doing that since 1974...

    GMs: When Is Enough Enough?

    All five of us are GMs and we rotate duty, changing systems every two or three months. If we don't like the RPG system, it's off the table after the first completed adventure. If we like it, we may come back in the rotation with a different GM or the same one. So far, we've played only...

    Also, Edge just published Arkham Horror, a d6 dice pool Cthulhu game. I bought the starter box a few weeks ago, but have not played it yet.

    Chaosium Names New CEO, Mike Mearls Departs Company

    Edge Studio and FFG are part of Asmodee, right? Maybe he will oversee the RPG department. He also worked for MTG. He could be part of the LCG department. Or both.

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    The Boston Globe called it "a cauldron brimming with stale filmmaking, stone-faced acting and primitive editing. Aside from the nasty rapes (I lost count after six) and the endless violence, Deathstalkerdrips with derivative dullness... The movie is so bad that the director can't even give you a...

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 1

    I had never seen Ladyhawk until a few years ago. My high school friends kept telling me it was great. The idea is good, but the movie itself is not very good, from a 2020 perspective. Never Ending Story is much better.
