Game Design Masterclass: James Bond 007
Watching the trailer for the upcoming movie No Time to Die (the 25th Bond film) I realized it was about time to share a bit of love for one of my favorite long out of print games. While Ghostbusters is often held up as one of the greatest early licensed games, for me its James Bond 007. The game appeared in 1983 from Avalon Hill’s RPG imprint Victory Games, designed by Gerard Christopher Klug...

Finishing Touches For Rethmar
We’ll bid adieu to Rethmar this time, by augmenting its recent events and what’s unfolding in town right now—that is, as the PCs tarry in Rethmar—and a little more of What’s Whispered About, locally (that is, behind-the-scenes intrigue and lawlessness beyond the remnants of the Claunkrar Coster). We’ve already established that nothing of any great significance has happened in Rethmar...

Lex Arcana: An Empire Without End Review
A couple years ago we spoke to the folks at Quality Games in two interviews (here and here) about the re-launch / 2nd edition of Italy’s most successful RPG: Lex Arcana. The kickstarter for Lex Arcana: An Empire Without End was a fantastic success and folks are excited to see what this game is all about.

Crowdfunding News: Altered Carbon, Hunter: The Vigil 2e, and more
This week I look at RPG crowdfunding projects that end between February 28th to March 5th. This week’s article is a mix of regular tabletop RPGs, accessories, conventions, and zines; however, this is not an exhaustive list (there are many more zines and RPGs out there to support).
Fantasy Flight Games Discontinuing RPGs?
Back in January, it emerged that FFG was laying off a lot of staff, including RPG staff. Now, GM Chris over at d20 Radio is reporting that the company is discontinuing all RPG development, including Star Wars, Legend of the Five Rings, and its relatively newer Genesys universal system. He says that all currently announced products will be produced, but in the long-term the RPG production is...

DM Guild Treasures: 5 BECMI Modules That Deserve the Big Book Treatment
There are a number of players, old and new, who have affection for the original Basic and Expert (and more) B/X or BECMI rules and modules. Already, Goodman Games has given both Keep on the Borderlands and Isle of Dread a modern shake, converting the modules into big book versions with 5E conversions and reprints of the originals. This got me thinking about five other modules that could get...

Epic Monsters: The Invisible Man
Since we saw Captain Nemo last week in Mythological Figures today the Epic Monsters column is keeping to the LXG theme and going after the ever unseen rogue, a fellow that drank too quickly and deeply from the wishing well before regretting his choice in the final moments of his life: the Invisible Man!

Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons: A Review of Chapter 1
Rick and Morty, the cartoon inspired by Doc Brown and Marty McFly's relationship from the movie Back to the Future, has taken sci-fi comedic nihilism to new highs and lows. The Starter Set, in which the dungeon master plays Rick DMing a Dungeons & Dragons session for his family, has its roots in Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, a comic series that firmly positions the fantasy tabletop...

Gary Gygax Things
Let me start by saying that I believe Gary Gygax was a gaming genius. That genius included a lot of skills in crafting D&D designs. I have experienced literally hundreds of DM styles. Gary's style was head and shoulders better than the best of those. He was able to make the adventuring experience come alive in your minds. I have seen just as many written dungeons. I got a look at Gary's...

Worlds of Design: Shooting Magic Missiles from Silly Places
A GM once described a game that was going along the way he wanted until one of the players asked if he could shoot his magic missiles from his groin! According to the GM, the game collapsed into silliness after that. How do you maintain a serious game and not have it become dominated by silliness?
