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

Another Archon Studio miniature. I’ll use it as a lich in my D&D campaign.

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

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?

No matter how many steps are in the game, everything slows down when players aren't familiar with how the rules for their own character works. I've been running a D&D campaign for months, and some of the players still have to double check what the final results of a roll to hit is. For me, I...

I've only seen six of those and Guardians of the Galaxy is the only one I haven't seen that I still want to watch. Quantumania: Didn't care for. Secret Invasion: Flat out disliked. Deadpool and Wolverine: Meh. I was tired of the multiverse before I even saw it. Agatha All Along...

I continue to be flabbergasted this thread continues to be active. I'm not complaining, I'm just, you know, flabbergasted.

I once participated as a player in a pulp campaign. The character I made was essentially a 1930s version of Sherlock Holmes who was a pacifist in the sense that he'd never kill anyone. I don't remember all the other player characters, but one of them was an unfrozen cavewoman with a pet...

It's so grimdark that it wraps around to absurdity. To enjoy the game you've got to embrace the absurdity.

I fear as my group continues to age we'll have a stroke, heart attack, or some other medical malady at the table one of these days.

I win again, Lews Therin.

I picked up the Cubical 7 version of Warhammer Fantasy on a Humble Bundle and I'm reading through it. I'll see if my players might be interested. Might as well try to run them through one of the best campaigns, The Enemy Within.

I suspect you're correct. However I often question how representative the loudest voices on social media actually are. Even then, it's not a headache I imagine WotC wants to deal with. In truth, as far as I'm concerned, Dark Sun had its time in the sun. WotC is better off working on other...

We can find genocide in Curse of Strahd and I don't recall many people complaining about it. We also have some hags in the human trafficking game cannibalizing children to produce a drug that induces euphoric dreams. What D&D players will or won't accept is hard to pin down.

I have several issues of Valiant's revival of Magnus: Robot Fighter. But I remember Shooter from Marvel more than I do anywhere else.

I'd certainly agree the direct, honest communication at the beginning of the campaign is the way to go. When I ran Delta Green years ago, I told my players the following: "If you're ever in a situation where a bunch of government goons wearing masks, armor, and armed with MP-5s are coming for...

Monopoly is a lot like thermonuclear war in that the only way to win is not to play at all.

For most games, there are conditions which are met that will end the game immediate. When a player is put into checkmate, or they resign, or they run out of time on the clock the chess match ends immediately. For RPGs it's a bit different in that there aren't any definite conditions that end...

It wasn't that complicated, so we all understood. It's just that none of us wanted to start as a former Toll Collector when we look at the tabletop miniatures game and see a dude riding a griffin. It was an aspect of the game I never understood. Like there are literal armies of Skaven in the...
