    D&D General Why Do People Hate Gnomes?

    I hate their little red hats.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    This certainly aged well. I see much more drinking in his future.

    Economic Board Games?

    New Bedford is an economic game built entirely around the whaling industry in the late 1800s. It has a gentle learning curve and plays pretty quickly.

    What is the most evocative art you've seen in a TTRPG?

    The art in the Merry Mushmen's edition of Black Sword Hack is amazing.

    Grade the Forged in the Dark System

    I can't as of now. When I can, though, I'll be sure to post about it! :)

    Grade the Forged in the Dark System

    I changed my vote. I am firmly in the "I Love It" camp now. I have seen what it can do when tailored to a specific setting and, DAMN, does it rock.

    What System For...?

    I've recently been thinking of running a Wold Newton Universe campaign and think that the original Adventure! by White Wolf would be a great fit.

    I'm a Challenge of the GoBots and G.I. Joe kid.

    Paizo Spicy hot take: Golarion isn't a setting...

    Or Faerun, for that matter.

    D&D 5E Hellfire Domain-Thoughts?

    I like this a lot. :)

    What are "essential" TTRPG mechanisms?

    For me, the only two real requirements are a mechanically meaningful way of defining characters (this does not mean a mechanically complex way of defining characters) and a way of resolving drama. I am increasingly fond of drama resolution systems that make allowances for degrees of success and...

    Looking for Fantasy Atlas

    I've never played P&P proper, but I've used the setting with AD&D several times over the years.

    Looking for Fantasy Atlas

    The Kingdoms of Kalamar Atlas for D&D 3rd edition is a big hardcover of nothing but full color maps. The Perilous Lands box set for Powers & Perils contains a softcover atlas of full color maps. [Edit: The Perilous Lands is also largely system-neutral, as is Kingdoms of Kalamar, which makes...

    D&D 5E What's your favorite 5e book cover?

    The Candlekeep Mysteries alt cover. It looks like a real antique book, which I dig.

    TSR Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum for Sale

    They may end up owning it after all of the associated legal cases are settled.

    TSR Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum for Sale

    It's worth about $300k based on other nearby property valuations. The D&D connection doesn't add millions to the valuation. The collection of gaming material is maybe worth $10k-15k-ish (based on the opinion of prominent collectors whom I trust more than infamous liar Justin LaNasa). If somebody...

    What keeps uninterested players showing up each session?

    The ever present looming threat of death.

    How happy are you with your table/group?

    I very much like our current group for Vampire 5e. When it comes to playing D&D 5e, however, I'm not as satisfied (there have been a LOT of false starts for campaigns and a few of the players won't buy a PHB or bother to figure out how their abilities actually work, which has driven me a bit...

    D&D 3E/3.5 So how was AEG's Warlords of the Accordlands anyway?

    It was better than I expected it to be. It suffered a bit from being a d20 STL product rather than an OGL product (meaning that it wasn't a standalone game and required the D&D core books to play). At one point I created a custom PHB from the D&D 3x SRD with just the info required to play...
