I heard someone describe the feds as a drunk hippopotamus. It takes forever for them to get to you, but once there they make their presence unambiguously known. I suspect most federal investigations will not happen in a timely enough manner to help the PCs. i.e. Whatever nefarious plans the...

Looking back, I can't believe someone greenlit that monstrosity of a playset. The high price meant most families couldn't afford it and it's 7 foot length meant few people had a place to put it. My father was in the army, so we moved frequently and that meant purging possessions every few...

I get you. I certainly wouldn't want to play out something like Lae'zel's romance at the end of Act 1 in a tabletop setting. Not unless I wanted everyone at the table to be absolutely uncomfortable.

What parts of BG3 weren't appropriate for a tabletop experience? About the only thing I can think of off the top of my head was just how horny the companion NPCs were in BG3. I couldn't give any of them a friendly hello without them trying to sex me up. (I play games to escape real life not...

Not having wealthy parents, my selection of toys was rather limited as a child. As I recall, I had two Masters of the Universe action figures, Battle Damage He-Man and Ram Man. I never had a Battlecat. I stuck with GI Joe and Transformers with a little Star Wars for the most part. I gave all...

Rather than hijack another thread, I thought this topic warranted its own discussion. As with most discussions on TTRPG, what's appropriate for one game might not be appropriate for another game. I might handle computers completely differently in Buffy the Vampire Slayer compared to Delta...

Like TSR in the 1970s, White Wolf had lightning in a bottle with Vampire. It was the right game, at the right time, in the right place. It's the only RPG I can think of other than D&D that's ever really become known in wider popular culture. But the World of Darkness just screams 1990s to me...

I used to think you were cool! I jokingly refer to Fate as "That game where you try to convince your GM your Aspect applies to the situation even if it makes no sense." I haven't played it in a number of years. This is where I suspect WotC would like to take D&D but they've been failing since...

Are you kidding? The d4 has the most painful points in all of gaming.

This looks ridiculously awesome! I can't wait for to run some scouting adventures.

Terrible is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. Over the years, I've been told I was a bad GM on several occasions online. I've been told I'm a bad GM for not allowing a player to create a Mage or Werewolf character for a Vampire campaign. When I mentioned that I'd replaced Swim and...

I'm been GMing on and off for about thirty years now and I still fail on occasion! I think it's the social skills that makes GMing most difficult in that you have to be comfortable managing people. You've got to balance the needs of each player against one another as well as your own desires...

When I started gaming back in the late 1980s, we didn't have anyone to compare ourselves against aside from the other people we gamed with and letters/articles in places like Dragon Magazine. A new GM today might be comparing themselves directly against Jason Carl or Matt Mercer whereas I could...

And just like that! I'm out. I was scrolling on the YouTubes when I came across a Batman short. Joker is making fun of Absolute Batman and Last Christmas was the background music. At first I wasn't sure if it was a cover, but when the lyrics kicked in I knew I'd be whammed. That's okay. I...

This is the first year I don't have an RPG to nominate. I'm glad to see all the other nominations though.

I'm five days in and still no Last Christmas. I'm not even trying! Come on, Wham! I'm here! Come get me!

I saw someone on BlackTwitter say they were preparing to introduce Gen Z to a new streaming service called Cable.

I just heard Christmas Wrappings by the Waitresses. My season is complete.

Did reindeer trample your heart or something?
