I haven’t done a game like this for a while, usually we switch to board games as the backup plan… but if I were going to throw an instant game together I’d pick Shadowdark for fantasy (or possibly Dragonbane) and if the group was game to try something different I’d reach for Gamma World, either...

Since I was bad and one of the drifters from the OP, with apologies, my specific WoTC 5e most memorable encounter was in Curse of Strahd, the first meeting with Strahd. I was running the game and played up vampiric angst as he told the sad tale of his curse. I was halfway expecting them to...

No thanks. Makes me sad that this even exists

I did when I was much younger. I think it got lost in a move when I was a teenager. Now I just have 2 cats that like to battle!

Actually, amending my previous post… I do kind of have a favorite: the Ruins of Phlan, as depicted in the old Pool of Radiance and Ruins of Adventure, the module based on it. I think it’s a great campaign for beginners, and I’ve run it 4 times over the years, in 3 different editions of D&D and 1...

I don’t know if I have a true favorite, but I’m fond of Castle Amber for being so creative and bizarre. It’s very fun with the right group. I also like the entrance level of the Temple of Elemental Evil, probably due in part to the evocative artwork on the cover.

How about these 4 (I tried to pick recent games that do something very different than D&D) Vampire the Masquerade Call of Cthulhu Dungeon World FATE Accelerated

Thanks for sharing! Great videos!

You’re in!

I’m curious to know how you deal with magic items in your Dragonbane games? Do you limit them to a few items with unusual quirks, or do you give out more D&D-esque gear, such as empowered weapons that deal extra damage? In my own games I’ve limited magic devices to a few special items, keeping...

My first was the Moldvoy Basic D&D Set. We kids were excited to grab a copy because we wanted to know why so many parents were upset about a game. What forbidden arts lay inside?? With only some questionable advice from an “older kid” who claimed to have played before, we were mostly left to...

For anyone in the know: Do they eventually release the videos of these sessions to the general public on YouTube, or do they generally like keep to them on their service? (beacon.tv?)

I voted “no” but if I could, I’d qualify it as a “no, but…” answer. I don’t generally want to see Psionics unless they make sense for the setting, though I don’t feel strongly enough to forbid them if someone has a good concept or desire for a psionic character. Psionics just seem a little odd...

Thank you for sharing! I’m very impressed, that looks like a lot of thought and work went into designing it. I really like how each phase not only builds on the scenario but has different goals and objectives, so it’s not just a slugfest round to round. I’m truly looking forward to your battle...

Love those maps! Those look like they took a lot of work. My much younger self used to run convention games with about 20-30 players. My maps were paper hexes glued to cut styrofoam. It was much more crude and ugly! How does your game run? Do you have, for example 5 v 5 on a map or more? I...

wow, yeah, that’s a preorder! I guess I posted with Fear. 😧

Hope and Fear Kickstarter Preorder for Daggerheart.

I might be the only one, but I’m very curious how the Godzilla rpg will turn out. Even curiouser that it’s being helmed by two 40K alumni. Over the years I’ve run several Godzilla inspired 1-shots (some serious, some loving satire) using various game systems, but none felt like they really did...
