In RPG and fantasy, we are often faced with a situation where the existence of gods is an empirically confirmed fact, rather than a matter of belief. Two extremes can be distinguished in the representation of these entities (note – I do not claim that all creation adopts one of these two extreme points of view). On the one...
Can this magazine be used to look for roleplayers for games that happen in chat-environments?
Has anyone tried it? Are there any LFG threads or places to discuss?
A really underrated RPG is the OneDice system from Cakebread & Walton. It's a ultra-light system, ideal for running one-shots. They are various versions of it available - Space, Fantasy, WWII, etc. Each one is a complete game. They're all quite cheap and easy to run....
The playtest is going to drop in 2024, likely to coincide with either paizocon (June/July) or Gen con (usually August) the playtest is going to feature 6 classes....
Hey all, my friend is starting a new game. We have some newbies joining and their attendance maybe hit and miss, with work schedules and life. What are some creative ways your groups have managed missing players outside of someone paying for them one session?
It was a campaign we'd made from one of those 'Roll 4 commoners' tables, where we took our little party and the sole survivor we adopted as our hero going forward....
Playing or running an RPG this weekend? Spending time on world building, prep, painting minis, or writing something? Let's hear it....

It seems like over the last year or so, Amazon has made the calculation that they can save 10 cents on not packing things properly, and only 0.1% of customers will be bothered enough to return the item*....
It's a new system whose Kickstarter raised $1.3 million since February. I'm curious about it but would like to hear more people's thoughts....
Pros / cons / experiences as player and as GM?
Although I have played and enjoyed some of the crunchier games out there, sometimes they just start to feel more exhausting than fun. I've also found it hard to get players to buy into games where you have 20+ different questions/choices during character creation....
Whether it be due to scheduling, lack of interested players, or some other reason, what's an RPG system you're just hoping to get to the table one of these days but haven't been able to yet?
I've only ever played 5e for my ttrpgs, but with WOTC showing its true colors, I'm trying to find a new system to adopt. I've been seeing people say Pathfinder 2e, and while i have a digital copy of the book I've been reading, i didn't realize how large it was until i saw it in a game store; the core rulebook is almost 3 times...
I need an adventure that involves a party investigating a local scam where counterfeit currency has been circulated into the local economy. Is there anything published that covers this theme?
Hi all,...
Confession time: I am not overly enamored of "rules-lite" RPG systems. As long as the system is coherent and well-thought out, I prefer it when the system has rules for all sorts of things - from tactical combat to running chases to social encounters to falling damage and so forth. I like GURPS, I like D&D5E, I like Pathfinder...
So. I just picked up Harnmaster 3e, and I knew it was a really crunchy system that I knew I'd probably never be able to get my players into, but lo and behold there's a system on Foundry. The combat works great, there's so much detail, and there's modules out already for NPCs, and merchants....
Hey all! I'm looking for some new resources -- hopefully system agnostic -- that fall into the categories listed in the title....
It can be official, modified, or entirely homemade. What do you like about it? Is it super organized, simple and easy to use, or does it just look super cool?
What games are you playing? What's your style?
What are your favorite Western-themed tabletop roleplaying systems and which aspects do you enjoy about them? Are there aspects of your chosen system that you think could be improved?...
There is a TTRPG coming to kickstarter soon called SWYVERS. It is published by Luke Gearing, David Hoskins, and the Melsonian Arts Council. (who also made TROIKA! another amazing system)...
So it seems when I go into an LFGS, the RPG section is always a bit Dungeons and Dragons, maybe some Pathfinder, and the loads of accessories for the two games. And many of the new games I see are offered online as a pdf. So I wanted to see what all people are buying from actual brick and mortar stores. And what do you want to...
