Funny. The last week or so I have started a spring cleaning of music and RPG files on my computer and today, I stumbled on this game while taking care of the letter E and had no recollection of where I got it. Thanks to google, I traced it back to here and reactivated my account :) I see that...

I believe AD&D's Lanhkmar had no clerics and advised players who wanted to use the cleric class to just call clerics "white wizards" and play them as is. You ignore the divine flavor stuff and voilà! I'd do that. The basic idea of a cleric class was awesome, but the early rule prototypes...

That's great news, since he's fucking awful. Unfortunately, I've never been impressed with any of Ray Winninger's endeavors but best of luck to him.

It's been a while since I've read either, but I think some character elements and the use of color-coded tables.

A friend of mine set his AD&D campaigns in Harn. I fell in love with the world and later on, I bought the first edition of the RPG Harnmaster expecting the same quality that had been put in the setting. Instead I got an incredibly convoluted and uninspiring system combining the worst aspects of...

I still remember the moment I realized d20 D&D (3e) was going in the wrong direction. It was the promising release of "The Book of Vile Darkness". WotC alluded to a flavorful tome full of evocative items and stories. Instead, it was a lame-as-fuck festival of +2 bonuses. Pages and pages of...

Why not? Let's go crazy :p Even better if you say a few things about the game. Just trying to find new stuff that might interest me. Use the criteria as guidelines but by all means, talk about any game that strikes your fancy. I used to be "that guy" who knew everything that was going on inn...

Yeah, ItU and Mörk Borg were the two titles I was already aware of and are already on the list ;) Into the Unknown is flat out amazing and probably one of the RPG that has most impressed me in many, many years. I discovered it by accident recently and that is actually the reason that prompted...

Just trying to catch up with current games, as Edgewise guessed. That's why I'm only interested in finding out about games published in 2018, 2019 or 2020 :)

Hey guys! Since I'm completely out of touch, I'm turning to my favorite forum for help. I'm looking for RPGs (not supplements) published (like, they actually exist, none of that kickstarter shit) in the last three years. Preferably matching at least two of these criteria: -Fantasy -OSR -On the...

I have also had one experience with Asmodée's customer service. Repeated attempts to get the replacement they had promised for the expensive, defective product they had sold me all failed due to what I can only conclude was ill will or crass incompetence. Fuck those people. If I was a fan of...

As you grow older, you kinda get "left behind" in everything; hobbies, art, popular culture, fashion, etc... Things are built with a specific audience in mind, that was raised a certain way and has certain expectations, core values and cultural, educational, generational references. So from an...

I like the general principle of the thread title but it's first and foremost easier to remember a rule (good or bad) if it is: 1, Clearly written and simple 2. Pushed forward in the rule book 3. Not buried in a fucking huge pile of other rules (also good and/or bad) 4. Rewarding Despite my...

So, I went to the local gaming shop and was horrified by the ridiculous prices for the small pieces of plastic. I also investigated painting them myself and I just don't think I'm up for it. This is a little discouraging but I figure I'll find someone selling a collection eventually in online...

It never even crossed my mind. I am not very artistically inclined visually, and not very good with minutiae. I could find the time, but I don't think I have the skills and I always thought it would be much easier to just buy pre-painted stuff anyways. As a last resort, it's something I might...

Yeah, I'm seeing floor prices of around 2-3 bucks pretty much everywhere. And those aren't average prices. Just the fucking floor. Which makes me wonder, as a gamer, how much it costs to build a basic collection that suits D&D-like fantasy needs. You know, a bunch of minions (several each of...

So, I'm finally considering putting more effort into the physical and visual representation in my roleplaying sessions and using minis but I have never, ever done that. I've started investigating and most of the links lead me to either unpainted minis, or collectible, randomized (lol, WTF?)...

It was 5.5, and was absolutely huge in the late 90s and early 00s on RPG.net (it would have had to be at least 98, since I didn't have an internet connection before, but probably before 9/11, since that's the day I completely stopped taking anyone over there seriously). 5.5 was deemed to be...

I first played CoC with a gamemaster who used a boxed set version. I think it was first edition. It rocked. Years later, I was fell victim to the RPG.net intelligentsia when a vocal bunch over there kept on pimping CoC as the best RPG ever and 5th edition of said game as the most best evah...

Again, since when should publishers disclose a "nom de plume" or reveal artists that desire anonymity? The practice is established since forever. It's not out of the ordinary. I haven't really followed the entire situation because I'm not into kickstarters. I don't like to pay for hype and...
