    What do you do when a Player dies?

    We had a player, I'll call him Bob, find out he had a brain tumor in the summer of 2024. After getting things more thoroughly looked at, he opted out of treatment and just accepted he was facing the end of his life. He ended up quitting his job and moving out of state to live out his final...

    RPG Archive: Boot Hill Wild West RPG

    Westerns are a part of the rich tapestry that is American mythology. I imagine we'll still see westerns being produced in some form or another for quite awhile. Nobody knew that better than Boys Don't Cry. It doesn't get more American than a new wave British band singing about cowboys.

    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    And that's fine, but it still can't be all things for all people. No game can. Not even GURPS. Can you make rules allowing for a Necromancer PC with an army of undead? Of course. Would it be fun to play? ::shakes Magic 8 Ball:: Ask again later. Stupid Magic 8 Ball. Anyone designing...

    Raiding old western films for a short campaign arc.

    Well, uh, your players are searching for a girl who was taken against her will by a creature that is commonly used as a metaphor for sexual assault. i.e. You've got just as much subtext in your premise as The Searchers did in 1956. Depending on how long you want the campaign to take, you...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Undead Army Necromancer is not Designable

    I am once again reminded that D&D cannot be all things to all people.

    Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | Official Teaser

    Yeah, not only is most of the crew are D-E-A-D, David's story is done. Bringing any of them back would just cheapen the story.

    What makes a successful horror game?

    I do like horror, and after playing Alien a few times I can tell you nobody in my group thought it was fun. We thought it was a flaw.

    What makes a successful horror game?

    It ends up freezing the game. i.e. It's not fun.

    What makes a successful horror game?

    This is a serious flaw with Free League's Alien and their Stress mechanic. There's a point where a character fails a Stress test, they gain Stress, and the result is every other PC must make a Stress roll, which they fail, gaining Stress, and requiring PCs to make another Stress check. I don't...

    Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 | Official Teaser

    I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first season and I'm looking forward to the second. I wish the Cyberpunk RPGs handled cyberpsychosis half as well as the series did.

    Who is your favorite James Bond?

    I feel as though the people who voted for Lazenby did so for the same reasons they voted Carrie as prom queen. There's not a bucket of pig's blood hanging over the stage, is there? I went with Connery because I typically favor the original of anything. He laid down some very big footsteps...

    Dragonbane Miniatures Coming to Kickstarter

    Why is nobody talking about the duck? It seems like more of us should be talking about the duck.

    Dragonbane Miniatures Coming to Kickstarter

    I really like the baby dragon hatching. I've been putting Kickstarters are hold because of the whole tariff situation, but I'll check this one out at least.

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    That's just any game I'm participating in. The last pirate game I ran was Pirates of the Spanish Main for Savage Worlds. It was based off of a constructable strategy game published by WizKids from 2004-2008. I can best describe it as a collectible miniatures card game. The cards were thick...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    It was a psychological hurdle for me to even start throwing books away.

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    If I'm bored it's kind of my fault, right?

    D&D General What if the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were actually Djinn?

    What's the point of changing the lore? I'm rarely beholden 100% to lore, and I recognize there might be good reasons to change it, but in this particular case what would we be trying to accomplish?
