    Published adventures or your own made up ones?

    I like published adventures as resources - for maps, stat blocks, ideas, and so on. But I almost never run them because it's more work to tailor them to the characters and campaign than it is to mine the adventure for elements to drop into my own campaign-specific creation. Also, when using my...

    Post a music video you could write an entire campaign based on

    Well if you're going to do that (So many videos seem to default to Unknown Armies...)

    Best Comic Panels of All Time

    Really, almost every panel from that issue should be in here.

    Mod+ Ai generated content in RPGs

    One variation of the old English spelling joke.

    Do you actively run Supers RPGs at your table

    I've been thinking of a sort of similar premise, where the PCs wake up one morning with superpowers in a world full of people with superpowers, where reality is very different than it was last night (being able to do anything unusual makes putting on a bright skintight costume a totally normal...

    Far West 12th Anniversary

    I find PDFs harder to navigate, and since they need to be on a screen much more limited where they can be read. I can't carry them around as easily (no laptop just a desktop). And physical books are just much more pleasant to read generally. Unfortunately, shipping to Canada is almost always at...

    Far West 12th Anniversary

    Just going to mention that Far West is on sale now (not quite half off). In case anyone was waiting for a discount...

    Mod+ Ai generated content in RPGs

    I see the most pushback against AI in art (film, illustration, music), where it's presented or at least perceived as presented to be a wholesale replacement for the people who did the work as a craft and profession before. People generally didn't generally complain about the use of computer...

    Mod+ Ai generated content in RPGs

    Yeah, I tried, for years. I really really wanted to be a comic book artist. Took courses, practiced, never got better than "embarrassing but at least we can tell it's supposed to be a human." Manual dexterity is important and despite my efforts mine has just never been that great (also why my...

    Mod+ Ai generated content in RPGs

    You haven't seen my attempts to art.

    Mod+ Ai generated content in RPGs

    And more directly on-topic: I might use AI imaging personally, like for a character illustration, because I can't draw for crap and I'd just be right-clicking on an image search result anyway. I wouldn't purchase something that used AI imaging, I'd rather have just plain text. But I also...

    Mod+ Ai generated content in RPGs

    One caveat about lawyers and AI specific to the profession is that lawyers have built-in niche protection. Pretty much every jurisdiction that has a legal profession also has laws that prohibit anyone not a recognized lawyer from getting paid for doing legal work, and most law societies enforce...

    So not into D&D...sell me on something else!?

    According to the rule sampler at the page linked above, it is roll-under, sorry.

    So not into D&D...sell me on something else!?

    At least in the quick start it is roll-over. I saw reviews saying the 2nd ed was roll-under, so I double-checked. :smile:

    So not into D&D...sell me on something else!?

    Arrowflight 3rd ed quickstart is free and seems to fit. It's fantasy - multiple Kinds (dwarf, elf, ent, all kinds of animal people), magic, but also black powder weapons. No classes, no levels. Character creation uses a lifepath (roll or pick) to pre-load skills but you can then purchase more...

    So not into D&D...sell me on something else!?

    If chart resolution is out then Against The Darkmaster is out. The attack charts do a great job getting results off one dice roll but are most definitely charts.

    So not into D&D...sell me on something else!?

    In play Against The Darkmaster doesn't feel very class-based. The classes are there, but just to determine skill costs to encourage niche protection. You could make everyone a Dabbler vocation and get everyone on board with a slightly lower level of competence (the tradeoff for no high-cost...

    So not into D&D...sell me on something else!?

    Blood, Sweat & Steel is Fudge so it's a certain style of 'roll high,' but otherwise lines up - no classes, no levels (warriors and sorcerers are distinguished by traits/abilities, and advancement is by increasing skills/attributes).
