I'd call DCC something it's really fun to do in a one-shot setting, but not something I'd want to play a campaign of. I've played a couple of funnels, and the best one was run in the modern era with a slasher/cthuhlu cultist mentality. Our funnel characters were members of different social...

This thread being updated gave me hope on release info for the project. Sad noises from me.

This is really interesting. I would not have imagined that there would be this much Traveller support in 2026. Makes my heart feel good. I will be really surprised to see what this looks like. 5E and classic Traveller are separated by a huge gulf in terms of gameplay, so I'd think you'd either...

Definitely. To me it is also creating a powerful incentive for a particular playstyle. You are going to be up in the face of the bad guys, and if they're attacking you, you're hurting them back. It makes me wonder how this will make the GM adjust their playstyle. I'm really going to have to see...

The way Radiant Judgement works is whenever you're attacked, if you don't have any judgement dice, you roll them. The next time you attack you cause that much extra damage if you hit. Hit or not, they're expended. Is that too good? Don't know. Thinking about it, you don't get it until you're...

The host for my in-person game just sent out pictures of the gaming table he's building. It will eventually have space for a TV to place flat for maps. I am beyond stoked to run this game. We're getting together at a quieter bar/restaurant to make characters over some drinks. Very exciting times!

Well, we're sticking with 5E over 5.5 so that's one. I also am not a fan of the latest CoC, so earlier editions for that too.

I'm not sure if this is mentioned but say, "I am helpful, am I not?" a whole bunch. (This is an NPC from the Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous game that is ... something else).

If you don't mind one more Foundry RM question, what's actually available in Foundry? I see the Core Rules, Creature Law, and Treasure Law. Do they have Spell Law yet? I'd love to do a test with this, but Spell Law is kind of a necessity.

I am a huge fan of Rolemaster from days of old but I don't know if I could handle it in 2026. One of the things I'm really interested in is that they have released the entire product line as Foundry modules. So the game would be entirely automated. This really intrigues me. My gaming crew...

I'll just be direct: it doesn't matter what I want. And what I have done is help artists who want to get started in the gaming industry get commissions. And help people who are just getting started writing for RPGs use the tools they need to express themselves. And help my friends who have...

I think this is a really good question, but it's also so far outside of the skillset that most people have, that it takes a lot of effort. The thing I would recommend most is reading management books (okay, subscribe to a management YouTuber or TikTok ... whatever they are in 2026). I will...

It's been my experience that many restrictions that are meant to be helpful really help only established companies with deep pockets, rather than those it is meant to help. That's why large companies don't object to a lot of things that they know they can absorb, but will destroy their smaller...

All I know is all the cool kids are going to be there. But seriously: great con attendees, lots of gaming. Okay food. Deluxe custom sodas are spectacular. There are a ton of different games running, and a lot of the people who make them show up. As we get closer, I'm sure there will be a...

I'm pretty stoked this made a million. Looks like fun will be had by my group. I mentioned it and all 6 players pledged. I better run a good game. No pressure.
