    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Part of what appears to be the issue is that folks define "fun" differently from group to group. As an example, I ran the FFG Star Wars for a while and enjoyed it for the most part. The group I ran with enjoyed the game as well, but most of the narrative functions of the game weren't used very...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    It's a secret. You'll need Beta-Gamma-Green clearance for an answer. ;)

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    Surprisingly enough, there are quite a few "old school" games that have had success as PDFs through DriveThruRPG and it's affiliated sites. Many of the older TSR games have found their home there, including different editions of D&D/AD&D, Star Frontiers, and more. I've seen older Rolemaster...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    Exactly. Hey, I resemble that remark. ;) In all seriousness, that's why I try and keep my favorite games alive by discussing or running them. There are some fun games that have come out in the last decade or so, but I enjoy introducing some lasting favorites to new players. How else do we...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    Thing is, there are communities for some of those games. MSH, d6 Star Wars, and MERP all have thriving online communities. Rolemaster has had some new stuff released lately from Iron Crown. I think I heard new rumblings about a new edition of Spycraft as well. Necrogamers for the win. ;) Games...

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    There's some POD stuff out there. Tiger Paw Press has been working with Heroic Publishing to make sourcebooks for the League of Champions comics. Two books out so far, with a third in the works.

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    Champions Complete came out in 2019 according to the internets. There's been some new third party stuff that's been fun, with some of it related to Hero's history.

    What does it take for an RPG to die?

    I actually started a new Champions game at the end of last month. ;) No game is ever truly dead. Heck, Lord of Creation came up in my socials feed not too long ago and, for a brief second, made me wish I still had the books. ;)

    Have all of the frameworks included in Daggerheart been revealed? I'm on the fence about the system, but intrigued.

    Where’s The Beastmaster Roleplaying Game? Part 2

    Oh... and to add another name into the hat: Magnetic Press. Look at the Planet of the Apes RPG and you'll see why I'd love to see it happen. Honestly, I'm hoping they get the Star Wars license so we can jump back into a d6 SW system.

    Where’s The Beastmaster Roleplaying Game? Part 2

    I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Modiphius, Monolith, or Free League picking this up. Look at where Conan had landed as far as RPG properties. Would it work in an OSR kind of game? Probably. Should it? I think there are better systems out there and agree to some extent with Paragon...

    ElfQuest TTRPG Returns For New Printing

    From the comics? It's been the Pinis behind the wheel in some way or another for most of the series. So the quality has been maintained to the modern era IMHO. As far as the game goes, there wasn't a horde of books made for it. In fact, I believe that the KS will have most of it.

    Peregrine's Nest: Same Old Monsters

    I love a good spooky monster tale, and have used a bunch of variations over the years. Want different Vampires? Make them more like beasts with limited intelligence that serve a smarter, and more dangerous master. Give them bat-like features, or even wolf-like. Maybe they don't drain, but...

    The Highlander Cinematic Adventure Is A Kind Of Magic

    The television shows are probably a different license. Heck, Highlander: The Series and Highlander: The Raven may be different licenses in themselves.
