Roanoke, Virginia.
Big Lick, The Roanoke Valley, The Star City of the South...
These are but just a few of the names for the decrepit Gothic-Punk hellmouth nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. A city of misery and malaise full...
Okay, it's time for a mega-thread to contain this insanity once and for all....
Everyone here knows my stances on so-called "personal horror" and my stances on Vampire: The Masquerade, so I'm not going to delve too deep into that.
But one thing I always see the V5 crowd like to tout is that...
You find yourself in Downtown Roanoke, Virginia. Yes, that Roanoke...
Roanoke, AKA "The Star City of the South", a decrepit Gothic-Punk hellscape in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
Along a seedy side corner on Kirk Avenue, you find a small corner club that caters to the goth, punk, and...
So, what are your elusive "White Whale" games or supplements? The kind of stuff that can't be easily found either in print or PDF and any secondhand copies that do pop up are ungodly expensive.
For me, these are my RPG "White Whales"...
Bram Stoker's Dracula: The Role-Playing Game (1993...
So, January of 2024 will mark the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons and the RPG hobby as a whole. While this is obviously quite a ways off and too early to really figure out what WOTC will do for such an occasion, it's not too early to wildly speculate about it.
On a more serious note...

All is seemingly well in the Roanoke Valley and to the mortals, it seems that way. The area is recovering from the wider national aftershocks of the recent Great...
So, with the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 3 and the smash success of the Resident Evil 2 remake, I've decided to make a general discussion thread for one of my favorite video game franchises of all time, the one and only Resident Evil.
Get ready for some itchy tasty fun as we look back at...
I'm curious how many of the people here at RPG Pub out here are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender? BTW, I'm not intending this to be a political thread or anything, I'm just curious about who else here besides me is in that group?
Of course, it goes without saying that it doesn't matter...
Title says it all...
I'm Doc Sammy, one of the more infamous posters on The RPG Site and I've been a member of RPG Pub since the site launched in 2017 and I'm making my grand return to the RPG Pub.
Ask me anything
Welcome to Prime Time, bitch!

Alright, welcome to the first installment of a new series of "Let's Read" threads titled Doc Sammy Reads The Classics.
As the name implies, I will be doing commentary as I read through old-school RPG books from the 1970's to the early 2000's...
So, I'm thinking of getting into the "Let's Read" racket and start my own "Let's Read" threads.
But which book should be the subject my first "Let's Read" thread?
I'll post a poll and let you all vote.
Alright, I figured I'd cheer myself up and lighten the mood with a fun thread.
The object of this thread is to explain something in the RPG hobby (be it a game, a company, a series of games, character classes, etc.) with quotes from a favorite TV show, movie, book, anime, or what have you.
As...

Anybody here ever remember a little game called Doom?
No, I'm not talking about the 2016 game (although that one is pretty damn cool), nor am I talking about the boring and poorly-lit Doom 3 from back in 2004 either.
And the...
Straight from the hills and the hollers of the Appalachian Mountains is a new open-world sandbox online role-playing experience that you will never forget. This is the kind of campaign that will rock your world!
From the mind of a creative madman who grew up deep back in the hills and way down...
Alright, this is a project I've been wanting to do for a while and that is a wide-open sandbox campaign based on Grand Theft Auto by Rockstar Games, specifically the newer "HD Era" setting from GTA IV, GTA V, and GTA Online.
The game itself would be a sandbox game that could support multiple...
The sun has set over Miami Beach and night has fallen. The moon is full and the stars are shining bright as the tourists begin to leave the beaches and return to their hotels, motels, and resorts. However, as the beach tourists recede, the nightlife truly begins...
Near the beach is a nightclub...
Alright, I want to discuss my favorite live-action show of all time, The Sopranos, which originally aired on HBO from 1999 to 2007.
It's the show that made me want to move to New Jersey. I'm currently doing a rewatch of the entire series, starting with the pilot episode and continuing until I...
Miami, 199X
The great port city of Miami is a place of beauty, intrigue, and of course, lots of drugs. Who says there's no snow in Miami? The many cartels and gangs in the city are secretly under the control of the Invictus, the largest covenant of vampires in the city, and the Invictus as a...
So I recently found out about this awesome game called "Macho Women With Guns", a self-aware and tongue-in-cheek action-comedy RPG that was published by a small independent company based right here in my home state of Virginia, specifically Blacksburg (which is only an hour's drive or so from...
We are running a donation drive this month to help offset the costs of running the Pub and to avoid running intrusive ads in the future. If you would like to help out please visit this thread for more details. Thank you!
