  • Shadowrun 1e GM Advice

    Jump

  • This was my very first RPG, back in 1990.

    The first piece of advice: Don't have player character deckers. Make them NPCs. The decking rules are a horrible, horrible mess that takes the action away from the table.

  • Fantasy Settlement Patterns

    Jump

  • Yeah, as a German the settlement patterns within most D&D settings looked deeply weird to me. But for all of its pseudo-European trappings, D&D owes at least as much to the tropes of the "Wild West" genre.

  • Fantasy Settlement Patterns

    Jump

  • The problem is that cities are usually dependent on the resources of the surrounding countryside. You have to protect the fields and the mines as well, unless you can somehow produce all that stuff within the city walls.

  • The Privilege of Sorcerers

    Jump

  • Keith Baker always encouraged this kind of creative reskinning of classes.

    And, of course, the privilege of superbeings has been explored in #ttrpg before, such as in the setting of Aberrant.

  • The Privilege of Sorcerers

    Jump

  • Eberron is one of my favorite DnDoid settings, precisely because the designers put a lot of thoughts into this stuff.

  • The Privilege of Sorcerers

    Jump

  • Seoni, the "Iconic Sorcerer" from the Pathfinder RPG.

    The Privilege of Sorcerers

  • Advice for Running a Hexcrawl, A Decade Too Late

    Jump

  • I rarely have buyer's regret for TTRPG products, but Carcosa ranks high on that list. The "Sorcerous Rituals" section is maybe worst - do we really need a detailed list of how sorcerers sacrifice humans to work their magic? Not to mention one ritual ("Consign to the Lightless Lake") where the sorcerer actually rapes his victim.

    I will never buy anything from Geoffrey McKinney again.

  • "I don't want Politics in my Gaming!"

    Jump

  • Done. Thanks for the suggestion!

  • Aus Schwaben - folktales from Swabia

    Jump

  • Draconic Codex Is Out Today

    Jump

  • I've only browsed through it a bit, but the Occult dragons are appropriately creepy.

  • TTRPGs focused on power and politics?

    Jump

  • No one has mentioned Reign yet?

    Its basic assumption is that the PCs are all part of a "Company" - an organization that might range from a small mercenary band to a large kingdom - which interacts with other such groups and organizations, and PC actions can improve the odds for the Company to succeed.

  • The OSR Onion

    Jump

  • Interesting thoughts. My main exposure to OSR is via the works of Sine Nomine Publishing - their worldbuilding tools, in particular. I haven't actually played or run any OSR games, but this look at their design philosophy is appreciated.

  • Disturbing Signs of Adventurers Dying Horribly

    Jump

  • For anyone wondering about the photo, I believe this is the Catacombes underneath Paris. I visited it 2 weeks ago, it really looks like this. I am fairly sure this is a really photo.

    Indeed it is, as I have mentioned in the Alt Text. 😉

    Disturbing Signs of Adventurers Dying Horribly

  • What was your first ttrpg product?

    Jump

  • Shadowrun 1E. Yes, I am that old.

  • ACKS II Review

    Jump

  • No matter how good this game might be, I am not giving my money to an alt-right supporter.

  • Have you considered determining NPC gender randomly?

    Jump

  • How well does chat AI do when it comes to representation?

    One huge flaw of AI-based systems I keep on hearing about is that they tend to repeat the biases of their training data.
