    Player skill as in using the rules to their maximum advantage. That's an aspect of the game, right?

    Player skill vs character skill?

    In the various Modiphius 2d20 games, like Star Trek, Fallout, Conan, etc., etc., there's a shared resource, it's called something different in each game, but we'll call in Momentum for now, that's generated by rolling more successes than is necessary to complete a task. i.e. If a player needs...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Because our current Thanksgiving isn’t directly tied to the harvest. The holiday as we know it today wasn’t finalized until the 20th century when it was fixed to a particular day.

    Kickstarter Traveller 5e powered by the DnD SRD in 2026 crowdfunding

    During the d20 glut in the early 2000s, d20 Call of Cthulhu was a game nobody asked for and a lot people did not want. It was a surprisingly good adaptation. I was prepared to dislike it, but it was so well done it remains a bright spot of the d20 era for me. I’m hoping this version of...

    Traveller 5e coming from World's Largest RPG in cooperation with Mongoose Publishing

    D&D won that contest a long, long time ago. And it wasn't really a contest. I don't say that to badmouth Traveler. While I've never played it, I do own the Mongoose version, it's a good game with a long, proud history. It's just that D&D was an continues to be the juggernaut of table top...

    Ravenloft, the Movie

    Five years from now, who knows? You can make a Ravenloft movie on a relatively small budget compared to Honor Among Thieves. D&D is under monetized according to WotC, they’ve got all that wonderful IP sitting around not doing anything.

    Ravenloft, the Movie

    Who is the they? The filmmakers might use Strahd because WotC is willing to help finance the film. WotC might want to see a Strahd movie in the hopes of putting their under monetized IP to good use. D&D has a long history of flirting with mainstream media success.

    Ravenloft, the Movie

    OP asked if it'd be a good movie. Not whether it's feasible.

    Ravenloft, the Movie

    I'm of the mind that a good writer can turn just about any idea into a decent story and Ravenloft has over 40 years of good lore to mine from. There barebones plot for the original I-6 module could make for a pretty good movie in and of itself. The nice thing about a Ravenloft movie is it...

    Karma, Rewards /Consequences Do you use it? If so, what is good, and if not what is bad?

    TSR's Marvel Superheroes had a Karma system designed to encourage player characters to engage in silver age super heroics like saving lives, rescuing people, going out of their way to help someone, etc., etc. I don't remember the particulars, but I think deliberating killing someone resulted in...

    Do you observe Thanksgiving?

    Don't even get me started on Boxing Day. When I saw the thread title, I just assumed everyone who answered yes would either be an American or a foreign national living in the United States. If I was in Germany, I'd certainly go hunt witches on Walpurgis Night with the rest of Bavaria.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    The model on the left is almost completely painted as of 11/22/25 and the one on the right is from 2018. On the left, I applied a very dark base coat, used liquid masking for chipping effects, and airbrushed Tamiya grey. I used some panel liner and then some rust and streaking effects. I...
