Yeah, although I seem to like heapin' helpin' of that in my entertaining escapes as well... maybe when it's OTHER people facing that feeling I feel comfort?

He's a grown man with plenty of life experience to inform him that people get bent out of shape about all sorts of big and little things without a lot of reasoning or thought.

Raggi is still predicting the LotFP Referee Book is close at hand... and maybe I'm a sucker, but I believe him! Mythras got its wrist slapped for a boo boo in Mythic Polynesia and I fear the pipeline there might have slowed... but Classic Fantasy has an expansion out soon.

I've intentionally opted out of most all of the nu-Chaosium stuff... though I do covet the new BRP system book the rest hasn't even been tempting (unlike most all of Mythras, Delta Green, and Apocthulhu). WFRP 4e... I bought the starter box and the rest looks quite nice... but for some reason...

I wish I'd dodged Cairn 1e... Never bit the CCG bait, and only bought into one big boardgame monstrosity (Shadows of Brimstone, which is a Warhammer Quest-like). I still occasionally buy some tempting GW thing, but never from GW directly and preferably 'pre-owned'.

Kinda hilarious that just the other day I decided I liked the look of the current AOS undead line-up and bought some for skirmish gaming. I've always wanted an undead army but never much liked the look of most sculpts outside of Rackham. There's probably some more I should pick up before the...

I've been watching her channel for years now... total hobbyist, no bullshit.

In our group of 10ish, we had one of those... but I think he's realized that he'd rather get along with the other PCs than be a hunted outlaw (most of them are determined to play good guys).

I run a game for about that age group every week. I mostly run it as I would for adults, reacting to what the kids do in a fairly plausible way, "OK, you burn down the library... let's see what happens." I don't pander to them or pull my punches because I know they want 'the real deal'... so...

I recently read Children Of Ruin, and while its uplifted spiders are 'earthlings' in heritage, they're very alien in their worldview, how they communicate, how they go about doing things. And since the book tells big chunks of the story from their point of view it makes for a nice guide in...

Despite being an obsessive fan of Pellucidar when I was a kid (at 12 I REALLY wanted to get rich so I could build a dirigible), I've never tried to run a game in that setting or any other hollow planet set-up. I'm not sure why, but these days I'd be much more inclined to put it in some adjacent...

I prefer it when death is on the table, even meaningless/trivial death. But that dovetails into the sort of media I enjoy... like horror/noir crime movies where anyone/everyone might die by the end (last night I watched a double feature of Reservoir Dogs and The Blair Witch Project). It's also...

IIRC Monster Island (Mythras) has a jungle lord lurking about somewhere, one of the goofier elements of the setting IMO.

I've seen some GM's online describe themselves as 'storytellers', but I doubt any I've played with would use that term to describe what they do. Though it reminds me of our Earthdawn GM who LOVED the ED lore and would occasionally go overboard with info-dumps of backstory our PCs couldn't...

Yeah, I'm a big fan of those and they're still going pretty strong (considering they're not GW). GZG makes nice minis for the games. I managed to find the printed rules at a game shop in Portland, OR... but nowadays they're all free PDFs on the GZG website... though there is a nice German...

Would the old Ghostbusters game have that sort of thing?

Man, now I want an RPG called 'Wendy'! I want it to be a bit grimdark, about magical girls who fight witches in a twisted version of Narnia/Neverland/Wonderland. Of course... Zak S gave us the Alice class in Red And Pleasant Land, so I kindasorta have that box checked... still, more grimdark...

This last week was Spring Break for me, which meant it was time to get at a lot of stuff I'd been putting off... cleaning the house, getting tax info ready, hair cut, dentist, studying/taking a 5 hour test for a license I need to get, setting up my new computer. Then my dad got put in the...

I'm always all over the place with these things... Like, combat can be exciting... but as a spice, not the main course. I prefer rules like the intuitive/plausible/detailed combat in Mythras... but primarily so it serves as a deadly consequence for bad luck/bad decisions/bad planning. I don't...

I like the previous suggestion of 'Dr. Fu Manchu' being the name given to him by the British, possibly due to a bad translation or mispronunciation... maybe add in a bunch of other names as well, with none of them being his actual birth name. Going along with that, I'd give him several...
