On a 40K kick because of the Darktide hype.

Which game, setting, campaign or adventure goes best with 90s German industrial rock?
Asking for a friend, of course.
Happy New Year, Pub-goers! If this night finds you in a bad place, drop me a PM.
Merry Christmas!
Still trying to come up with an interesting arcane caster (Sorcerer, Warlock or Wizard — Bard or Artificer out for the time being) character for an upcoming D&D5 game.
I forgot how to elfgame
Watching TV with my kid and breaking down in tears. Fucking Disney. Fucking Pinocchio.
It’s not that I’m a bad person. Or a good person. It’s that I’m not good enough. I want to be better. And I realize that being a better person includes not being influenced by the way circumstances treat you but by God life is seriously cramping my style right now. And I feel like shit.
All right, everybody just chill the fuck out. (And hit me on PM if you wanna vent.)
I used to wonder how I’d ease myself back into GMing. Now I’m wondering how I might ease myself back into reading anything RPG related at all.
Even beautiful things seem tinged with melancholy these days.
Cannot brain today. Please don’t make me brain. Have the dumb
Exalted’s Deathlords have the best names.
What if I ran something on the Pub Discord?
You know your Anglo-Saxon game is weak when you get Meduseld and Heorot mixed up.
“No time for RPGs” level: made maybe seven characters for the “Create A Character January” thread. (Admittedly White Wolf hamstrung me. I used to be quick at these but I had a difficult time. I may have grown at least partially dependent on randomness. All those choices!)
The purported wisdom of experience and maturity fails to provide simple answers for some old questions. For twenty-eight I have been asked, “what is Rifts?” and I dread the question now every but as much as I dreaded it in the past. Maybe even more so.
I went into my DTRPG library to download the Savage Rifts Player's Handbook (which I got backing the original KS, pre-SWADE) and it's gone from DTRPG. WTF??? Now I'm mad.
Happy New Year. May all wounds heal.
Grand Conjunction! So cool. Never been into astronomy but starting to dig it. Don't even have a telescope, just a mobile phone AR app and the hope that it won't be too cloudy.
I have just learned that there are novels set in the Rifts Phase World setting and that one of the antagonists is an elf called Elias Harkonnen.
Come on, Palladium, help me help you.
Tried to read an Age of Sigmar book and it reads like the only tenuously coherent canon to a crazy Korean MMO. The tech dwarves are cool, though.
My fascination with early 2010s D&D retro-clones endures. My brain says ACKS but my heart says Hyperborea.
The idea of an irreconcilable split between “Purist” and “Pulp” Lovecraftian role playing is utter bullshit.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Great profile pic and sig mate !!!
Sorry for not being very active on actual gaming threads. The longer you go without gaming, the more it feels like something you won’t be doing anymore... then again, maybe this is the kick in the pants I need.
Plenty of good D&Desque videogames, but where are the Travelleresque ones?
Unrealistic melee weapons annoy me. Especially “warhammers” that look like cartoon mallets. Guess which game does this the most...
Too hot for whisky. Beer or G&T?
WFRP 1st edition is punk D&D. Change my mind.
Stray thought: “modern day Warhammer” would look a lot like Eden Studios’ Armageddon RPG.
My love of D&D is waning. My nostalgia for oWoD is waxing.
Tempers seem to be flaring in some threads, which makes me worry about everyone's mental health. Anyone wanna vent? I'm listening. Here, PM, or Discord. Your call.
Terry Dykstra is D&D's most underrated artist.
Some ideas for Call of Cthulhu:
- Roll 3d6 (or 4d6-drop-lowest for a pulpier feel) and assign to taste. Screw 2d6+6 and 3d6+3.
- Calculate skill base levels from attributes, like RQ6/Mythras. Except Credit Rating. Starts at 0% (or maybe do away with it altogether -- maybe with a Social Standing attribute?)
Maybe it's a byproduct of not doing a lot of gaming but every time I read a rulebook now it seems I want to write my own version of the rules. Which of course I am never, ever doing. Or am I?
Is there a Discord server for the Pub? Or am I misremembering?
The D&D5 Rogue class. Is there anything it can't do? So many great choices.
I am being told by an old timer in our group (a notorious railroader GM, no less) that I am a bad person for having people roll for their starting career in WFRP. And this is not a random internet person, it’s a friend who I’ve been gaming with on and off for 20+ years. Seriously, this fucking hobby.
This is 2020. I can live with not having flying cars but why don’t we have handy apps that automate character creation and character sheet management for every RPG? -
