    What Non-D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign

    I like GURPS for dungeon crawling, especially requiring resource management. You can make it as mechanically heavy or light as you want.

    What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

    I’d like to be a player. Seriously. In a long running game. After that, if I get to pick I’d love to play in a well run WHFRP campaign. I’d also love to be a player in something like an Arden Vul megadungeon run in something like GURPS. Finally getting to be a player in something like...

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    As someone who does not play 5e because I don’t like the game a new edition definitely cause me to check it out. If it was D&D I liked I would adopt.

    Your Three Desert Island RPGs

    GURPS 4e anything gritty or simulationist I’d want to run. I think I could strip back for OSR style characters too. SWADE for anything high action, cinematic, or pulpy. Pathfinder 1e for when I want my level based d20 gaming fix. Honorable mention to WHFRP 4e. If I could get a 4th this...

    I think it is time for a break.

    Monetizing my hobbies drains all the joy. I’ve been asked to make a few furniture pieces but doing the commissions was never fun. I’ve thought about setting up a paid game to run online. Mostly to run things my regular group isn’t to but I just keep feeling like I have a job. I don’t need...

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I think I’d choose Pathfinder 1e. It’s a robust game. I hear about white room balance issues but I’m actual play I think it’s rarely an issue, or at least has not been at our table. If I wanted zero to superhero it will do that with ease. If I wanted a...

    Sell me on Savage Worlds

    I find it’s frequently not the ‘to hit’ piece that’s an issue, it’s the feeling of being pillow-fisted. You can hit all day long but if you can’t beat the targets Toughness it doesn’t feel great. Feels less great when the GM soaks it all away. The two best pieces of advice I can give a...

    Sell me on Savage Worlds

    This is correct. The author of Sprawlrunner pulled his material from Drivethru in response to the incident. I believe he was also leaving the Ace program as did a couple other creators.

    Sell me on Savage Worlds

    I’m convinced that Sprawlrunners is the best way to play Shadowrun. Interface Zero if you want to go the crunchier implementation route also works quite well. Savage Pathfinder might be my favorite way to handle heroic fantasy these days (as I run a PF1 game…) but be aware that characters for...

    What System(s) Should I Suggest?

    Warhammer Fantasy rpg has great Foundry implementations, a ton of ready to run resources, is crunchy, and just different enough that I often use it as a pallet cleanser between more serious fantasy games.

    Which "Tactical" TTRPG Would Work Best As An X-Com Like?

    I would use GURPS. It handle techno/gun-porn well. Character advancement would also map well to mission style play. It can be played as intense resource management or more cinematic. Depending on has tactical you want to get something Tactical Shooting might be in order. If you need...
