It really is a disgrace, and it does feel like the last straw in what has been years and years of seemingly one bad decision after another at WotC. They're burning MtG's IMO cool AF lore for some supposed gain that will only be temporary at best and, at worst, it'll dilute the game's identity to...

Another vote for The Delian Tomb! Make it personal: the kidnapped person is a friend of the group, or even a relative of one or more of the girls. Start right outside the Tomb and tell them that an oracle NPC told them that if they don't find the kidnappee before the session ends, the NPC...

In case you're interested, last Friday we uploaded our third session into the Patreon packet! This was the last session we did with those rules, and then updated to the Backerkit packet, that has some small but significant changes, especially to my character.

Well, I consider that Tolkien deserves WAY more credit than PJ regarding Middle-earth, especially on a story that PJ had nothing to do and is based directly upon the work of Tolkien. And just to be clear, I despise the PJ "adaptations" of my favorite book of all time 😉

It looks OK, but I couldn't help getting angry as the trailer chose to call out, of all people, Peter Jackson instead the true creator of Middle-earth, J.R.R. Tolkien 😡

We're continuing the adventure included in the Patreon Packet TONIGHT at 6pm ET Another action-packed installment and we're getting better as a group in using our heroes' abilities and strategizing better with each other, building on synergies.

This is definitely some unexpected news. As a long-time DW fan, I never expected to see a new edition, especially after Adam Koebel's debacle, but here we are. In case you're looking for a heroic fantasy PbtA game, I'd like to recommend my own, Against the Odds, that's currently in active...

I'm sorry but this sounds terrifingly dystopian to me. The day I use monstrous LLMs to replace the beautiful and organic "last session recap" where all players get to contribute and reminisce, getting us all pump up for the upcoming session, is the day I'll stop playing RPGs 🥺

Here's our first session of the playtest, and I must say it was a blast! The game's super fun and easy to play, imo 😁🖤

So excited for this! The Legend of Huma is one of my favorite novels and I can't wait to get this one (Kaz and the Loat Colony was realky good, imo ☺🖤 )

Really happy for everyone who worked on it and well-deserved, imo! I have and will keep on returning to this movie, as it is a really good, heartfelt fantasy story ☺️🖤

I just got mine (digitally)! And yeah, I agree with your general assessment. "Deceit" was the weakest, "Fate" was surprisingly emotional, and I'm ready for whatever "Eternity" has in store. I'll comment here once I'm finished, which I suspect it'll be soon! ☺

Shadowdark deserves every single award it got—and then some more! I wish I was into dungeon crawls just to be more motivated to run it, that's how good it is! 😂 🖤

Thank you! Did I win something? 😂 I'm totally off the loop EDIT: I just realized that Level 1 2023 won a Silver ENnie and I have a microgame there ☺ 🖤

Hi there! I'm a little familiar with C&C, but I don't think DS is really that similar. Probably still the closest surface gaming equivalent is 4E but, after 1 session of playtest, I feel like the Power Roll gives it a kind of "tactical PbtA" to it. The mechanics are completely player facing, at...
