Great advice, all. Many thanks.

I'm gearing up to run a Delta Green game next year and I'm fishing for advice on running conspiracies. Not DG in particular, I'm not entirely sold on their setting as it exists. I mean how to hook the players beyond the stories I dangle in front of them. I want them to actually want to dig into...

One of the playsets, which I haven't had a chance to play yet but seems to have great potential, is called Dragon Slayers. One of my favorite aspects of the game is that there are piles of playsets and advice to make your own, but you can replay one and get a totally different game out of it...

http://www.bullypulpitgames.com/games/fiasco/ I completely agree with the statement, "I have never had a bad game of Fiasco." I have played about a half dozen times and it's always pleases. Not something I'd really want to play with strangers, but with friends it is a great way to weave a...

Toon I played this many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a couple of the books when I was in High School. My drama teacher was a gamer who had spoken to me about getting his (then) young children into gaming. After graduation I gave the books to him. I highly recommend it...

Oooh, SCP is perfect Dread fuel. I like it. Thankx Janx.

That comic is amazing! I love it, it makes me want to play Dread again soon. Thanks for sharing it, UTM.

Maybe word of the Empire's formation just got to the planet, and several different groups have very different feelings about a change of government?

I just gave roll20 a quick inspection with a couple of friends and I think I'm hooked. I don't know how this wizardry works, but if it means that I can game with whomever I wish regardless of distance, I will back it 100%. I'm excited by the fact that I figured out lots of stuff just by fooling...

Here's how a typical CoC action sequence goes: Player 1: I burst into the room, run and leap across the desk. When I get there, I demand that the librarian take us to any mysterious books over one hundred years old. Player 2: I'm bolting the door behind us, and pouring a line of salt across...

"Well...it wouldn't be a very effective murder if I told you about it. Sorry" In my first game of Dread as a player I behaved reprehensibly. The setting was an alternate Jurassic Park where the initial visit had gone by without incident and the park had been given a reluctant thumbs up by the...

Random draw of a number of cards based on skill. High card wins. In case of ties, high suit wins. It's super simple, but without any coffee this morning it's the best I can do at the moment. I'll give it a think, and if anything better comes up I'll post it later.

Tomorrow, I'll be playing in a game of Jurassic Park Dread! I get to be the tour guide, and I'm mind bogglingly excited. I don't recall ever thinking or hearing of JP Dread before, but it seems like an absolute perfect fit. Running, running, and tripping the guy running next to you. Has...

With Charisma, Manipulation, and Subterfuge that high, you should be at the lead in the party's social interactions. You should be talking people into beating themselves up even though you have the ability to do it. I think your GM misrepresented your character. It looks like a good fighter...

Very nice work. I particularly like the staircase. It looks almost impossible.

Dread! I've run the game over a half dozen times, but haven't gotten to be a player once. It kills me to see the tower and not be able to poke and prod it. Also, I'm looking forward to the Warhammer 40K game that my wife hopes to start soon. I miss playing Deadlands and Paranoia, those were...

Use movement in five foot increments, starting with the base moves of those involved. Add 1D10 + Dex. mod. Establish a situationally appropriate distances for losing the people chasing. Throw in skill checks when necessary. No muss, no fuss, no conversion. Easy to explain and implement at...

Troll Lord I have to parrot Johnny3D3D. I have the interest, but not the knowledge. A friend of mine knows and speaks well of several of the fine folks at Troll Lord Games, and is a big fan of the system, but I've never played or read any of the rule books. How would a generic module with...

"He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!" If they don't pick up on me falling into a Scottish accent and quoting Monty Python, clearly their time on this Earth was at it's end anyway.

There was a character in the WildCards book series that had a power that I think they called projecting teleport. He couldn't teleport himself, but if he pointed at you, you ended up wherever he wanted you. In a prison cell, a thousand feet in the air, on the moon or in the sun. If everyone...
