    D&D supplements/modules for non-D&D GMs

    This is inspired by a couple other threads that are floating around. I’m wondering what D&D or D&D-adjacent modules are out there that would be of interest to non-D&D GMs. Particularly, adventures or settings that are: * Not dungeons/labyrinths * Not linear sequences of scenes * Highly...

    Dave Nalle has passed

    Saw this mentioned on rpgnet, and confirmed on Twitter. Dave Nalle died from complications of Covid, at the age of 61. Mr. Nalle wrote Ysgarth and To Challenge Tomorrow. I have one book of an edition of the former. I think the system changed quite a lot over time, but what I have is an...

    Systems for play by post/play by forum

    Are there any systems that are particularly well-suited to forum or postal play? Note, I’m thinking of fairly traditional forms of RPG, not epistolary games or whatever they call them where you pretend to be characters sending letters to each other. That said, a fair amount of newfangled...

    RPGs and supplements with good random events?

    I wonder if people might have suggestions for RPGs that treat random events and encounters particularly well. I mean, the baseline I’m sure most of us are familiar with is: roll for an “encounter” once/day or whatever, with encounters being monsters or NPCs. I’ve seen a few games that broaden...

    How to kill a thread?

    Look, I like Gronan, and I recognize that the recent “this old argument” thread was indeed rehashing a bunch of old stuff. Nevertheless I thought there was some good content there, and it was also nice to see opinions from some people I hadn’t run into before (afaik). But now the thread was...

    Cartography and hexagons

    Attention game designers: please consider the functionality of the grids you superimpose on your overland maps. Consider the map shown in the first post of this thread: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?479433-Fantasy-Interactive-Maps (Don’t really mean to pick on the poster of the...

    Overview of summoning in RPGs

    How well do various RPGs do summoning? Off the top of my head, these games have at least some support: AD&D 1e—includes summon spell as well as supporting spells that can help with demonic negotiation Stormbringer 1e-4e Elric! and Stormbringer 5e Magic World (Chaosium 2013) Elric of...

    Record of Dragon War...what's up with that?

    Dirk Remmecke's signature made me curious, leading to me to this Kickstarter. I gather it's some kind of mix of old-school but I caught some mention of storygame or new school elements. And of course the game is an homage to (I would suppose, not actually licensed from) Record of Lodoss War. But...

    What makes an elf an elf? Or at least, annoying?

    Ok, over in the Talislanta thread, someone brought up the old ad/slogan about “No Elves!” and the rejoinder, which is probably nearly as old, that there are “forest dwelling pointy-eared folk” in the game. Now, in my opinion the most elf-like of the Talislantans are the Cymrilians, who don’t...

    Suggestion: stop allowing FB and G+ for logins

    Facebook: https://money.cnn.com/2018/09/28/technology/facebook-breach-50-million/index.html "The attackers would have also been able to access third-party services or sites accessed with a Facebook login" G+, well, that's been in the news very recently, and although the vulnerability there is...
