In that case, just don't do what Emerald Knights in Burbank does/did. They charged a high enough fee to be questionable, and it was foisted on the shoulders of the GM to handle (purposely or not, I don't know). I ran two games there and never went back.

Prep more than you need, but keep it modular because you will absolutely throw a bunch of it out. Watch the clock and run more for dramatic timing and putting a lid on the scenario by the end of the session, unless you are running a dedicated, consistent group/campaign, which I've never been...

SlavBorg pretty much does exactly this, only with lots of goblinoids.

I don't run Eberron because for some reason the magitech element of it just doesn't match my expectations and interests regarding what magitech should be. Mind you, I couldn't even tell you what it is I'm looking for, but Eberron just isn't it. Warforged are the only element I'm interested in. I...

At this point I still think my favorite iteration of this story ("Superman but as a bad guy") is in the Irredeemable comic series. But as far as on film, I think Invincible's show is more nuanced than The Boys or any other variation on the theme. I like The Boys quite a bit but it is pretty...

Do we know yet if Invincible is going to use d6s or the multi-dice version of Year Zero like Twilight 2k uses?

In my groups (about 2-ish at the time?), we loved some parts (the polearms!) and found some of the spells fun purely for roleplay potential (cantrips and others), but found a lot of the rest of the book to be overly fiddly. The new classes had way too many punitive restrictions and some of their...

At its most basic, multiple GMs simply need to know their region (which could be as simple as their dungeon(s)), and what PCs are available and up-to-date. The players manage their stable of characters. So if a particular group of players wants to go to Tim's Dungeon, they can pick from any of...

My experiences: 1. Didn't have it and needed it: One player got loot-gobliny, to the detriment of the play experience, just after a discussion about "no PvP." It was an honest mistake, and was handled well by all parties involved. But it was an issue that the X-card would have made a more...

I prefer Shmeppy for being even simpler. But yeah, samesies. That's all I need, for sure.

Fun parallel development! Obviously, this looks like it's going to be a much more epic release. I can't wait to check it out!

Can you name names so I can click the necessary buttons to never see their content ever?

Percentage wise, probably a small amount, relatively speaking. But numbers wise, enough to force businesses -- especially but not only smaller ones -- to radically rethink their logistics. I don't know their operations, but just looking at Games Omnivorous as an example, they are in Portugal...

Anyone thinking/arguing US small businesses and sellers aren't already feeling the pain, I can tell you as an avid eBayer that shipping costs have basically doubled (maybe tripled) in the past couple years. I couldn't be farther from the tariff issues and I'm still feeling the pinch, big-time. I...

You can't invalidate my hate, you're just Some Dude on the Internet! ... Is a better joke than any found in that module. Zing! I jest.
