Honestly FFG's Realms of Terrinoth hits most of these points. It's not a gritty setting out of the box, but I see no reason why it couldn't be. You have a wound threshold which is similar to HP, but there is damage soak. Spells cost strain to cast and can literally blow up in your face. PC's...

The Banishment spell. The CHA save is weird enough, although we could probably start an entire thread on which saving throws make more sense for what, but what bugs me is the character being incapacitated. Why? They're already removed from the encounter, why can't they take any actions where...

They paid for a plug on Critical Role. That likely helped quite a bit.

Existing online group looking to add 2-3 players for a Genesys powered Urban Fantasy game Time/Time Zone: Every other Friday night from 7-10pm* MST (GMT-7) System: Fantasy Flight’s Genesys System Method: Discord, RPG Sessions Setting: Urban Fantasy. We will hold a session zero, where we'll...

I chose Edge both in the poll and my campaign because it is by far, IMO, the most versatile of all the settings. Combined with the supplements the OP mentioned there really isn’t any era or adventure you couldn’t create. I added Dawn of the Rebellion just to narrow my timeline a bit and open the...

Started running FFG Star Wars last week with my DND group. We’re playing through the Jewel of Yavin adventure on the off weeks of our DND campaign. Everyone picked up on the system quickly and we all had a blast. Looking forward to more of it.

I don’t think the license is a simple split of board games vs miniature games. FFG produced a dice game, card game, two straight up board games (Rebellion and Outer Rim), and of course the RPG.

If actual play is admissible, then I nominate Sounds Like Crowes http://www.soundslikecrowes.com/ a Deadlands Reloaded podcast.

Sad news about Evil Hat indeed. Those are some talented people who will most certainly land on their feet. I hope the changes are enough to turn the company's fortune around.

I watched almost the entire first season. It's a pretty entertaining liveplay. As far as what we can learn about Kate's approach to D&D? Of all the people at the table, she pays the most attention, seems to have the best grasp of what her character abilities are, and how the rules work. She is...

A recurring question is "What would make it a D&D movie?" Here's a thought I had in regards to that: One of the great things about D&D, and TRPGs in general, is that given the same plot arc and decision points, the variables of the players and the dice produce radically different yet equally...

Not PG at all. The language can get so expletive laden at times that it borders on incoherent. It's my only real beef with Critical Role. One would think that such creative people wouldn't rely on such banal language. I won't watch it with my kids around.

You know what, this isn't a bad list. Most of these are decent if not good. I was going to argue against Pirates, but despite the lack of some obvious tropes (elves, dwarves, dragons, etc.) it really does have the story elements of a good fantasy adventure. I haven't seen the two Merlin...

Not sure why anyone would have any expectation of this being any good. This genre is something Hollywood seems unable or unwilling to execute well. Seriously, name 10 GOOD live-action high-fantasy films. I think LOTR was just so well made that we consider it proof that it can be done, but...

I’m sure there are many streams by players featuring different systems, but are any other publishers actively promoting or broadcasting live-play of their products?

Are there any examples of other publishers trying to capitalize on this trend? D&D's most profitable year ever was 2016, and 2017 may surpass it. “Over half of the new people who started playing Fifth Edition [the game’s most recent update, launched in 2014] got into D&D through watching...

Want to learn the new Marvel RPG? I am running some learn-to-play sessions at Comic Books, Supplies, Table Games, Game Nights: Icons Comics and Games Starting Wednesday 4/11/12 at 6:30pm All you need is dice. Let me know if you are interested.

Some questions for those players out there that don't use DDI, just the published materials. How much have you enjoyed the most recent Player's Options Books? Do you feel compelled to buy the newest Player's Options Books regardless of what they are? How do you handle errata?

I am willing to concede on this scenario. You are correct according to 4e RAW what you just described cannot happen.

I am not arguing whether or not the creature has knowledge of the effect. I am arguing that that knowledge does not supercede or limit the narrative Imaro explicitly states "and thus in fact does limit the narrative that can take place" Please give me an example of how that is true.
