    D&D 4E What is today the best way to start D&D 4E (paid and free)?

    Which is how I got a whole bunch of my WEG D6 StarWars books. I also picked up a bunch of PH1s and a second set of most of the character-creator books last year when I tried to start a new local gaming group. (25 people signed up to play, 1 actually showed up) For a starter adventure, how about...

    D&D 4E Rambling thoughts about D&D 4th Edition

    Glad to see that 4E is still getting attention. It's like the game was finally discovered about 5 years ago, after all the nay-sayers and net trolls gave up bad-mouthing it and WotC announce 5th (which again, drew all the nay-sayers and trolls).

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    Is that the same Saul Zaentz who squats on trademarks and TMs other people's work by filing claims before they do? I seem to recall a number of musicians who got completely screwed over by someone with that name. Just looked into the current history of who even makes a SW rpg. First...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    My big problem with taking down Trove was all of the out-of-print books which are highly unlikely to ever be available as a new printing or as a .pdf that can be purchased, including most of West End Games Star Wars books. Some of those suckers go for $300+ for a used book (if you can even find...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    Haven't done much gaming in the last 10 years, and during my soap-opera marriage... Yeah, that nightmare that never seems to end. It's been 24 years. I had the 4th book for generating dungeons, but only used it once. As with all things, your mileage may vary. Found a second copy of "Central...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    Heck, I just found my "Central Casting" books by Paul Jaques from the early 90s. There were three (fantasy, SciFi, Present) books where you could random roll events in your character history if you needed ideas. I also used them for villains. The bindings have fallen to pieces, but I got some...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    "Will I actually use this? Does it have adventure ideas? Does it queue up adventure ideas in my imagination? Does it at least have cool artwork?" I'm keeping my 2 copies of the original Secret of Saltmarsh, because I may use them again, even though I have the 5e conversion, just because the...

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    I also look kickstarter for ideas and adventures. Plangea not only put together an excellent campaign setting, but also a great soundtrack for back-ground mood music.

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    I'm 30 miles north of San Francisco, so I figured there had to be something... Preferably something that didn't meet in a church (it's a problem for me, don't ask)

    Looking for RPG group north of SF/in Marin or Petaluma

    If I'm running, I run D&D 4th edition or D6 Star wars. If I'm playing, I'll play absolutely whatever game. Just looking for a gaming group that meets on a near weekly or better basis.

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    Stone Age: Plangea was a great kickstarter setting for this.

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    That's what I get for being an old, out of touch, stick in the mud who doesn't want to change or get with the times or whatever.:mad: I think we've derailed the thread enough. Maybe future suggestions should go through PM? :geek:

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    I tried meetup. 25 people joined. 1 showed up. After a year of running a game for 1 person, he moved out of town. I consider Meetup to be a failed system. The only replies I got from the other 24 people when I asked was "Why isn't this on Discord," "I want to game during the week from 8pm to...

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    I hate online games. I want to be sitting around the same table as the other players. Online games depress me more than they entertain me.

    Do you buy new versions of TTRPG games when you haven't had time to play the older version sitting on your shelf?

    Mostly I end up with a bunch of books and games I never get a chance to play at all. That includes some like Alien, Indiana Jones, and Lamentations of the Flame Princess, but all so a bunch of kickstarter games like Mothership, Werewolves of London, and the like. It would be nice to be able to...

    What Published Modules Have You Run or Played Multiple Times?

    Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. I've run that so many times and did my own conversions to other editions long before WotC created the 5th edition version (which, ironically, I use for all the other adventures, after converting back to 4th). I have a short run that I use to introduce players for...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    I haven't seen much for Pulp Adventure games. There were a couple, way back when, but aside from the WEG D6 versions of BloodShadows and Indiana Jones, I've seen nothing really in the pulp adventure that wasn't Call of Cthulhu. Certainly no Tarzan or Solomon Kane. Not even the kickstarter...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Did a 1-shot "Revenge of the Kobolds" as it was originally presented in 4th edition. It was also, sadly, the last session with that group as the last player moved away.
