I started to put together and run a game based on Pools of Radiance using the game chest book from back in the day, various maps from the game, and the published supplement TSR did for it, Ruins of Adventure. It had all the elements I’d want from a sandbox style game including several ways to...

I play 40k, AoS and other miniature games regularly. Working on models, trying to clear the pile of shame, eats alot of my hobby time. I don’t do video games, or at least haven’t for many years. When I did play them I preferred turn based isometric stuff, and Diablo. I have a very hard time...

A bunch of Shadowrun: Sixth World pdfs. My group expressed interest in giving Shadowrun a try. They don’t make suggestions often enough for me to ignore so it looks like SR6e got added to my 2026 games I’m gonna run list.

Great question. I run a lot of games typically because I get bored. Looking back on 2025 I only ran three different campaigns/four systems all year. Which for me is some kind of record. January to June I ran Shadowdark and GURPS Dungeon Fantasy using Arden Vul. I suspect we’ll be going back...

Traveller Core Rulebook 2022 Update hardcopy Traveller Companion 2024 Update hardcopy I’ve got them in pdf from a bundle somewhere but it looks like Traveller is in serious consideration for my next game, once my Shattered Star game runs it's natural course. I've never run Traveller, we'll see...

Potential TPK in book 1 in the goblin stronghold. There is an imprisoned creature that if freed could be a tough outing for those character levels. Potential TPK at the end of book 2. It’s a pretty notorious fight in that AP. Depending on how you run the stone giant stronghold things go very...

If the requirement is D&D… The obvious choice is the original Dragonlance I think. If we’re thinking 5e native I this HotDQ/RoT I think the most boring portions of that campaign could be fixed in TV. Any campaign from any game I would pick Masks of Nyarlathotep.

I’ve thought about joining a paid game. I’m a forever DM and for the games I want to play in I think I’d have to join a paid game. I’m just really wary of spending a bunch of trying to find the right GM and group if that makes sense. I’ve though running a paid game, again because there are...

Correct. A good approach weighs the outcome in their favor. I am not opposed to auto-success either. There are times when the right approach will always succeed.

The idea that I as a player have to figure out the trap when my avatar in the world knows more about traps than I ever will has always perplexed me. The same is true for social situations or combat or anything else. We ask for actions in combat and a similar approach works for actions outside...

I backed both Broken Empires and Astra Arcanum this year so I’m looking forward to receiving those quite a bit. Also will be jumping on WHFRP 5th. I really enjoy 4th so a cleaned up version is right up my alley.

Unfortunately I rarely get the opportunity to play so I’d have to plan on running it.

Let my Pathfinder 1e campaign run its course. Probably around 10-12th level. They are currently 5th almost 6th. Try to get into Mothership. Finally I’d like to get back to running Arden Vul. I ran about 15 sessions on Shadowdark and then using GURPS and had an absolute blast. I never of...

I’m a forever GM. The longest I’ve been spelled in the last 5 years is 4 weeks.
