I was feeling like I needed a "mindless" game tonight and was having a hard time picking a genre as I scrolled through Playstation Plus. Then I saw Medeivil and installed it. Yeah... that's the stuff. I need to find a more modern game like that: simple premise, uncomplicated action gameplay...

If the majority of fans have discovered the hobby in the last 5 years, then the majority of GMs also discovered the hobby in the last 5 years.

I would love to see them do it like this. Paizo has kind of gone that way with their low and high level APs that one could conceivably mix and match now that there is a library. In reality, WotC has enough starter sets at this point they could probably just start making 6-13th level campaign...

To be clear, I don't have an issue with campaign length adventures NOT being meant to pull apart, nor do I care if they are. What I find frustrating is the people that constantly defend the long adventures by claiming their are built for and intended to be used as toolkits. yes, experienced GM's...

I am of the opinion that if the product doesn't say or include something, it doesn't exist. Buyers cannot be expected to hunt down interviews and blog posts

::casts raise thread:: Rather that start a new thread or bog down the excellent review thread, I figured I would necro this one. So, speaking of experiences: how much work is Drakkenheim to run? Is the book laid out well so you can find what you need? Does it require a lot of prep? I am...

That's interesting: does something like the new version of TW2000 count as a "new edition" or a "new game"? Like, is Shadowrun Anarchy a "new edition" of Shadowrun?

What Star Wars show would you greenlight? I kind of want a Knights of the old Republic series based on the Dark Horse Comics from many years ago. But what I really want is a retcon: The Fall of Skywalker/Rise of Vader. I want to see Anakin hunting down Jedi and getting slowly replaced by...

As an aside: I did not know Amazon was selling keys to Beyond content. That's interesting. Is Tyranny as bad as some folks say? That's a good price for a big fat module.

TTRPGs get new editions on a regular basis, and often times those new editions have significant changes. When this works, awesome! But when it doesn't, it can be frustrating (especially since a new edition usually means the old edition is no longer going to be supported). For you personally...

We don't know what WotC has planned for the year, but I would be very surprised if they abandoned the campaign length adventure. Don't get me wrong, i wish they would. I think a more interesting structure would be the Tier length adventure: 1-5, 6-10, aa-15 and 15-20, that you mix and match or...

Ran a short introductory/test session of Marvel multiverse tonight. We got a late start because of Demiplane/Roll20 integration issues for one player, but once we got that settled were were able to play. The PCs were the FF and Giganto had erupted from the city streets. We made some skill...

"Anakin, you were my brother!" Narrator: And now HR was involved.

If the campaign modules were meant to be, well, modular, why do you think they would not make mention of this anywhere in the text of the modules?

Except I am not the neophyte GM that needs to be told this explicitly. Of course experienced GMs can pull stuff out of these books they like. But that is NOT the same thing as saying it is intended to be used that way. If it were, there would be explicit advice at the beginnig of every chapter...
