    STAR TREK ADVENTURES Public Playtest Launches

    I've done the playtest. It seemed pretty good. Extended tasks seemed a bit meta-gamey and I kept forgetting as GM to use my threat, but it felt like quite a solid game.

    Giants & Orc Gods: More VOLO'S GUIDE Previews!

    I'm sure that Goliath artwork has been re-purposed from one of the 4e products.

    News Digest: D&D at the Emmys, Huge Sage Advice Update, Pathfinder Adventure App Live, More New GURP

    Hasn't Pathfinder Adventures been available for quite a few months? I've certainly been playing it for a while. It's quite good, I think.

    D&D 5E [Merged] "We're back!" Threads

    I don't really want to enter all my review items again. :-( Wasn't there a more regular backup?

    Adopt Your Secret Identity With Pathfinder's ULTIMATE INTRIGUE

    I really admire Paizo's support for the Pathfinder RPG. No other games come close in amount of supplements and adventures.

    Your favourite Trek?

    I like some things from the past. But I like things from the more recent past, or the current, as well. For example, I enjoy some "vintage" comedy TV from the 70s and 80s. The style of comedy was different then. But modern comedy is good too. One doesn't negate the other. On a related note, I...

    Your favourite Trek?

    I'm not dismissing people's preferences - I respect people's opinion regardless. I'm putting it out there that maybe people's preferences could be skewed by nostalgia or a feeling that things were better in the past, and are more subjective than objective. Of course it could be argued that all...

    Your favourite Trek?

    I get the feeling that TOS is thought well off mainly because people have fond memories of it back in the 60s or 70s. Nostalgia. I wonder if a group of people who had never seen any Star Trek before, were shown episodes from all 5 TV series, if they would feel the same way, and how they would...

    We have our new Han Solo!

    I've seen some people upset that having a different actor play a young Solo will detract from, or taint, Harrison Ford's role, but I kind of see Ford's Solo as a closed book, and this is an opportunity for a new, different one.

    Your favourite Trek?

    I think the years of the end of TNG, early DS9 and early Voyager was the best time for me. These years seemed to have good stories, and the TNG actors were gelling well together and character interactions were much deeper than early TNG. I felt the later DS9 and Voyager were scraping the barrel...

    May the Fourth be with you

    I'm making notes for the next adventure arc in the Edge of the Empire game I GM. :-) Having to take a break while I move house but plan to resume as soon as possible. I'm also catching up with the end of series 5 of The Clone Wars. I find the show really inspirational for RPG ideas.

    What Did Medieval Items Really Cost? And How Much Did An Archer Make?

    I always think the intention of games is to be fun, not be a simulation. While this information is interesting, I think the values in games need to what makes sense for the game taking into account challenge for players to obtain, expectations and power balance with other items. I quite like...

    Fantasy Grounds Usage Stats Are In - 5E, Pathfinder, 3.5, Savage Worlds, then Star Wars!

    Roll20 supports the FFG Star Wars dice roller via google hangouts, I suspect Fantasy Grounds does not have a dice roller for it.

    Game of Thrones card game (HBO edition): An overview of the game.

    I really want to try the Game of Thrones LCG, it looks great and seems to be very popular.

    Lords of Waterdeep just needs one more review to get certified!

    I just noticed here on ENwrold that Lords of Waterdeep needs one more review to get to the magic 10 reviews. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?386917-Lords-of-Waterdeep Perhaps someone could oblige? It is a very good game I think.

    WotC Being Sued By Magic: the Gathering Judges

    As a regular MtG player this is the first I've heard of anything like this. Maybe this group did try other strategies first. But to respond to Obryn's question, there are alternative routes that I think are less drastic.

    D&D 5E Up 4% In Latest Orr Group Industry Report

    I'm not sure FFGSW is any more take in - I think it's just different. For people used to d20 there is a flow they get used to and games like FFGSW have a different cadence. I think one of the reasons FFGSW doesn't see more play is because it's easier for players to stick to what they know. If...

    WotC Being Sued By Magic: the Gathering Judges

    I'm sure the judges could have approached WotC and opened up discussions for policy change. They could have also gathered support from judges all around the world and created a petition. Legal action should be a last resort, not a go-to solution.

    WotC Being Sued By Magic: the Gathering Judges

    I'm sure there is no need to take this to court. Seems like something blown out of all proportion. Unfortunately we seem to live in a culture where lawsuits are a seen as normal.
