I love the idea of a small organization that's like a "reputation.com" but for superheroes instead of really rich people.

One last thing for me personally - I would take larger print and fewer images, just saying. So the book could be the same size.

That's pretty hot actually. "You've leveled up, you bring it into the fiction when you think it's appropriate/cool". Definitely would depend on the table. I've got one game going where the GM is "old school" friendly antagonistic and runs the game so that we can get to the fights as quickly as...

Good call on backing Stonetop, although I haven't read a word since I'm waiting for the dead tree version.

Tasty sounding games, would sit at your table for any of the above. Conventions may be more open to the range of your games. Of course you won't get more than a one shot probably...

Oh - one more thing - is there going to be an over-arching storyline? And also, relatedly, how will you handle the "rising power" of the PCs? What was challenging for 1st level guards won't be at all challenging at 5th level, much less 10th level.

Fwiw, I might consider creating quick "what's available for trade in this town" table for the various towns along the way. And it might be 1d6 rolls on a d20 chart. You can have super cool rare stuff be at 19 and 20, each, whereas the normal stuff (like wheat) be on 1-5, 6-9, 10-14, etc. In...

This is what I was thinking - perfect at the right table of players who are looking for narrative hooks for their leveling. I'm curious - did BLM hear from the players how they wanted to level up; and then bring about that situation in the fiction?

Paid 98¢ for a couple of Free comic book day (FCBD) comics at the thrift store that my FLCS never had on display. They are from like 2022 FCBD. They were both from Kodansha, and covered Blackguard, Wandance, and Kino's Journey. Read the previews, read a bit about them on Wikipedia; and decided...

V:TM is responsible for a very specific style of urban fantasy, that many future creative endeavors from True Blood (Sookie Stackhouse), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, etc etc have taken and run with. The premise being - all the monsters are real. That being the case, what if...? In the...

@bedir than thanks for being on top of the pronouns 🙏 I'm kind of youtube averse unless it's a YT Short - what specifically is the domain of influence for the Sr. Game Designer? In what way will Haek's work impact my table? (assuming I am playing by the rules/adventure as written lol)

Two points: DnD Beyond doesn't allow you to scale their interactive character sheet. There is a default resolution, which sure - you can do the Cmd+ or Cmd- or use your fingers to scale the page or whatever; but in this modern age with relatively easy a11y (accessibility, "a" - 11 characters -...

Rest in peace. I wonder how many of his students knew that he was that Mr. Kask...

Doh! I didn't write down my goals for 2025. So not sure what they were back in late 2024; but my RPG life feels full right now; and in January will be spinning back up a cobble-together game with my high school buddies, online; and then a Tomb of Annihilation game that went dormant last summer...

Oh, I like books on Japanese Cinema, or at least, it's an area I'd like to read more about. Any other recommendations?

Oh right, yes it's confusing, because I am reading these out of a HUGE volume that has everything Earthsea, published shortly before LeGuin's death. So Tales from Earthsea has 4 tales and an essay, the Books of Earthsea includes all 5 novels, the Tales from Earthsea short story collection...

Took me a while to recognize this. I always love imagining Wolfe doing this, and often find myself doing it as I am reading. My wife hasn't yet asked me why I am pursing my lips like that; but if she does, I can just tell her "I am contemplating blackened eggs" and "Get me a beer."

Tales from Earthsea is the 5th volume in the Earthsea (following Wizard in E, Tombs of Atuan, Farthest Shore, and Tehanu), and Other Wind is the 6th. And the stories in Tales from Earthsea are directly related to the Other Wind narrative. Of course one could read them out of order (and per Le...
