Figured maybe we could do a thread like this and I didn’t see one when I searched. Considering upgrading my old iPad. It tends to struggle with some of the PDFs (example is rendering the Mongoose Traveller or Monte Cook PDFs). But I also want good battery life so I could consider actually...

Calling @Sable Wyvern and @Mankcam . So @Sable Wyvern called out @Mankcam with their thread for Mythras Dark Sun (not by @Mankcam). Well, a new challenge is rising (or being requested, however you want to state it). Mythras Al Qadim! Or not. But figured it wouldn't manifest itself if it...

If you are “one of the select few people” getting the preview version of Drivethrurpg, are you having this same issue? I am running an iPhone 11 using native browser. The new preview website function won’t let me log in. And half the time even the menu button doesn’t appear. To log in I have...

I'm getting back to D&D 4th edition. To that end, picking up the D&D board games, because lots of minis and tiles. There was an auction that ended this afternoon for the Legend of Drizzt board game, listed as new. Seller had "make an offer" as an option. Their opening bid was $35. So I made...

Of GW, that is. Planning to get rid of anything not painted, possibly barring WarCry. Maybe even WarCry. Just tired of the ambiance for lack of a different word. Starting to dip back into Warmahordes and just starting Malifaux.

I have been longing for days of yore at times, so recently started reacquiring various bits and pieces of Rolemaster and Spacemaster. My latest acquisition to deliver was a bundle of Rolemaster Standard System Books. On an initial flip-through of the Arms Law book, I was amazed that either the...

For anyone else interested in the BoL engine, the Sword & Sorcery Codex was just released on drivethru. Print and/or PdF https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/445007/Sword-and-Sorcery-Codex

On the flip side of the “never include” thread, what obsessions do you include in almost every game you run? For myself, corruption, temptation, and power. It normally can even work into a superhero game, thought it leaves 4 color word at that point.

I probably should have started this on my computer instead of on my phone. This past Friday night was the start of my Black Sword Hack campaign. Had a range of 3-6 players, but knew 1 was not available. I planned to run the game as episodic, so not leaving anything hanging mid session. That...

So this very much is part “be a good player” and “recognize that you are a player”. S0 bounced hard for me because, in viewing it as my character, the realization was one that there was no reason to not hit the button again and again, hoping to reset back to the start. I took the cosmic horror...

I still have a copy of AEG Toolbox (not Ultimate Toolbox). Watched a YouTube video and guy was solo playing and using books of random tables to help generate. So now I’m interested in knowing your favorite supplements of random tables for use in RPGs. this is the series I’m watching. < >

Has anyone seen Battletech sized (30-40mm tall) anime style mecha? Thinking things that look more like Gundam or Escaflowne or such? Less giant stompy robot, more agile ninja mecha?

I started getting involved with Marvel Crisis Protocol. Decided to start with Spider-Foes. Painted these guys up last night in about 5 hours

Took my youngest and middle daughters (and middle’s husband) to see Minions today. We ended up at a 3D showing, which I would not have bought as 3D if I realized it, but the 3D really worked with the movie. So 3D is worth it if you are undecided. Overall, the movie was a great addition to the...

I stumbled on this one last night. Game is Hard West 2. Imagine Deadlands and original Fallout had a baby and they named it Hard West 2. It’s what you get. It is in beta right now. I got it through Steam. Had to click “request access” on the Steam page, but it approved immediately. I only...

I’ve come to a realization. When I am actively playing and/or running games, I am buying less. When I am not playing/running games, I buy more games. I’ve debated on whether this is because I am focused on what I have/am running, or if I am buying more to get the “fix” I get from gaming. Anyone...

Yesterday I got together with friends and we played a board game with hat I backed on Kickstarter called Elements of the Gods. After a few plays, this is definitely my favorites KS game I’ve backed. I say this having lost every game we played. So much fun with feels similar to Five Tribes but...

Apologies that this is kind of ramble. putting this here in case people have game ideas/suggestions for me to look at. So I’ve been debating what I want to see in a game, and some thoughts are percolating. Have been for a couple of weeks now. And I kind of think it is forming, but not really...

The last thread I saw of this sort was from 2020, and with 2 years plus a pandemic, I figured it was time to start a new one. Interestingly enough, I had just bought my house in 2020 when the last thread was active (closed on Valentine’s Day, because I love me). I lIve just south of Nashville...

Picking up a PS5 this week. Already have Returnal and Hades to play. Any other recommendations?
