Player skill as in using the rules to their maximum advantage. That's an aspect of the game, right?

In the various Modiphius 2d20 games, like Star Trek, Fallout, Conan, etc., etc., there's a shared resource, it's called something different in each game, but we'll call in Momentum for now, that's generated by rolling more successes than is necessary to complete a task. i.e. If a player needs...

Because our current Thanksgiving isn’t directly tied to the harvest. The holiday as we know it today wasn’t finalized until the 20th century when it was fixed to a particular day.

During the d20 glut in the early 2000s, d20 Call of Cthulhu was a game nobody asked for and a lot people did not want. It was a surprisingly good adaptation. I was prepared to dislike it, but it was so well done it remains a bright spot of the d20 era for me. I’m hoping this version of...

I purchased Vaesen, the GM screen, and the mini-campaign The Lost Mountain Saga.

D&D won that contest a long, long time ago. And it wasn't really a contest. I don't say that to badmouth Traveler. While I've never played it, I do own the Mongoose version, it's a good game with a long, proud history. It's just that D&D was an continues to be the juggernaut of table top...

OP asked if it'd be a good movie. Not whether it's feasible.

I'm of the mind that a good writer can turn just about any idea into a decent story and Ravenloft has over 40 years of good lore to mine from. There barebones plot for the original I-6 module could make for a pretty good movie in and of itself. The nice thing about a Ravenloft movie is it...

TSR's Marvel Superheroes had a Karma system designed to encourage player characters to engage in silver age super heroics like saving lives, rescuing people, going out of their way to help someone, etc., etc. I don't remember the particulars, but I think deliberating killing someone resulted in...

I call that job security!

https://variety.com/2025/film/news/udo-kier-dead-own-private-idaho-andy-warhol-frankenstein-1236590259/ You may remember Udo Kier from such movies as Johnny Mnemonic, Blade, and Iron Sky. Not exactly a household name, but one of those actors whose face immediately made you think, "I know that...
