The John Wick movies’ “secret network of elite assassins” with their natty suits and deluxe hotels and blood pacts and shadowy overlords and judgements is a fantastic template for a World of Darkness sandbox (Vampire, Masquerade or Requiem, in particular). And of course, the aesthetics are just right.

Merry Christmas, you crazy elfgame people.

The Butcher · Dec 23, 2018

You know you’re really into D&D5 when it’s midnight and the WhatsApp group for your D&D5 game spends two hours exchanging cool builds for the next character of the player whose PC died last session, which segues into how to do comic and literary characters within the constraints of D&D5... fun stuff

Dreams of the Red Wizards is one damn fine supplement.

The Butcher · Dec 20, 2018

Sometimes I just wish I could kick back with a core rulebook, a blank notebook, some graph or hex paper, and draw up a campaign setting like I was 13 again. Alas...

The Butcher · Dec 15, 2018

Castle Oldskull stuff any good?

The Butcher · Dec 9, 2018

RPG ADD still bad. ACKS or D&D5? Deadlands or Delta Green? Mythras or Mage: The Awakening? Gaah

Beach vacation. So good.

The Butcher · Nov 19, 2018

CT, MgT1, Cepheus or Cepheus Light? What an embarrassment of riches. Someone should draw up a comparative chart.

Grilling is fun, and stocking up for a BBQ is the next best thing.

The Butcher · Nov 4, 2018

Sometimes I wonder whether Shadow of the Demon Lord would do a better job of scratching my new school fantasy itch than D&D5.

The Butcher · Oct 23, 2018

And now DM goes and tells me that his campaign will be set... post-Spellplague.

The Butcher · Oct 23, 2018

Never thought I'd say that, but I'm on a D&D5 and Forgotten Realms kick.

The Butcher · Oct 20, 2018

Addicted to the Heroforge miniature creator. Not even ordering the minis. Just designing characters. Half a dozen already. Send help

I must say, I'm a tiny bit sad you don't have face palming skeletor as your profile picture, but hey, Crab people are cool too!

The Butcher · Oct 17, 2018

GAAAAAH STUPID PEOPLE

The Butcher · Oct 13, 2018

Random campaign idea of the day: US and USSR agents at the height of the Cold War join forces against an extinction-level threat.

The Butcher · Oct 9, 2018

I kinda want to keep up with the cool gee plus people but fuckin’ MeWe???

The Butcher · Oct 3, 2018

Though the Realms are neither S&S fish nor epic high fantasy fowl, there’s a certain charm to whatever it is they are. Like a platypus.

The Butcher · Sep 14, 2018

Mmm, sherry...

The Butcher · Sep 11, 2018

On choosing the right ruleset for any setting, fidelity to the workings of the fiction will take a backseat to convenience and familiarity.

The Butcher · Aug 26, 2018

My dream PC game is an online multiplayer persistent world sandbox Diablo clone with a strongly D&Desque aesthetic.

The Butcher · Aug 19, 2018

It's good to be home again.

The Butcher · Aug 4, 2018

Downloaded a really good D&D5 character sheet app on my phone and tablet. Totally addicted, rolled 20+ characters already. Send help

If I were to hypothetically run a Hangout game for the Pub crowd. What would you like me to run? What PC would you play? Answer in comments

The Butcher · Jul 15, 2018

And once more, D&D5 carries the day by (1) being D&D, (2) not being terribly complicated and (3) allowing you to play a variety of fun PCs.

The Butcher · Jul 15, 2018

You know, Google Hangout gaming's not bad.

The Butcher · Jul 9, 2018

Wish me luck, everyone.

The Butcher · Jun 29, 2018

Maybe I could mash up PbtA and Cypher for the most hated elfgame ever. And then set it in the post-TLJ Star Wars Universe.

The Butcher · Jun 22, 2018

Any one of us may be fighting secret battles others know nothing about. But some people are just assholes, really.

The Butcher · Jun 18, 2018

Man, I just miss getting some actual face-to-face gaming done.

The Butcher · Jun 8, 2018

RIP Anthony Bourdain, you magnificent bastard.

The Butcher · Jun 1, 2018

Too tired to cook, ordering takeout. What should I have for dinner? (For argument's sake assume infinite options)

The Butcher · May 28, 2018

Things are getting really really weird down here in Brazil. And not in a fun way.

The Butcher · May 6, 2018

In 3 months I'm running one Hangout game and two (distinct) face-to-face groups. I'll also join grad school, eat right and exercise. Yup.

The Butcher · May 1, 2018

Stray campaign idea of the day: Anomalous Subsurface Environment with ACKS Barbarian Conquerors of Kanahu.

The Butcher · Apr 21, 2018

Listening to The Sword’s Ebethron and thinking of running Hellfrost — with ACKS.

The Butcher · Apr 6, 2018

Being sick, working my ass off and playing through Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel for the nth time, that's what I've been up to.

The Butcher · Mar 22, 2018

Staying away from gaming is less of a bother when you love the things that are eating up your waking time. :smile:

The Butcher · Mar 16, 2018

What to do with Savage Rifts? (Certainly not using the Tomorrow Legion set-up)
