At the risk of triggering one or more unanswerable RPG discussions that occur over and over without end, here is a terrific post about unanswerable RPG discussions that occur over and over without end:...

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 you help me figure out what game this was? I saw it being played a couple times but only for a minute as I wasn’t part of the group and just was in the area for few minutes each time (common room at school)....

I made this thing for a game jam. Its 12 weird patrons for spicing up your player options with a healthy dose of chaos. This kind of thing is maybe not that useful for most, but I’m giving it to y’all anyway. I mean somebody out there probably wants to make a deal to serve a taxidermied unicorn....

I settled on using Zotero (meant for academia, but whatever, it does what I need) for cataloguing/organizing my ttrpg pdf hoard and I’m trying to set up some top-level tags to make it a bit easier to sift through what I’m looking for. One set of tags will be genre tags (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc), with another level below...

I’ve been searching around for a way to organize my TTRPG collection of pdfs (numbering in the thousands to tens of thousands) and haven’t really found a silver bullet for it yet. Everything I’ve looked at has some sort of weird thing that’s off about it that doesn’t seem to make it ideal. Is there something out there...

Thoughts on creating a Spellcaster that uses hit points for spell casting instead of spell slots....

Guten Abend, meine Frau hat beim Crowdfounding von Littel Wizards mitgemacht und seither haben wir es noch nicht bespielt....

I played Forbidden Lands and loved everything, except that it uses dice pool....

I really dislike the modern look of RPG sprites. They all have a blended look of cartoon and cutsie. A double-sized head with gigantic pie-sliced eyes and crazy stupid weird colored hair. I really can’t stand it. I could go on for hours about how I dislike them. Suffice to say I’m seeking alternatives....

Has anybody else ever had people show up to your convention games expecting to be playing a completely different game based on a sloppy reading of the description?...

Like a lot of us, I’m pretty excited (shocked?) Far West is finally here. So, for those who have been following this project, what is the Far West sales pitch? Why are you buying it? (or not)...

Have you gotten with Astarion or maybe you were blown up by Gale for the hundredth time? Are your adventures as wild as you had hoped…have you even gotten out of character creation!? Well if you’re one of the legendary few who have, why don’t you take a step into the real world of D&D so you can go back into an imaginary...

I currently work on a system that gives every player their own deck of cards. The idea being that rhe player draw instead of roll. Every player gets their own favourite cards and abilities that trigger on specific cards or card types. For example every Ace is a critical success, every club (if that’s your color) deals double...

I totally missed that #RPGaDay2003 was a thing until like the 26th! So, inspired by James, I’m going to play catch up for this year all at once, and next August I’ll try to get in on the daily game!...

Okay, so I didn’t do one answer a day, I did all these answers in the last few days. But what the hell, it’s done now. #RPGaDay2023...

First, please bear with some initial context:...

I have seen a few videos about it but did any one here get a change to see it or play it?

Hi, I am in the final stage of my D&D campaign, and as I’m tieing up the loose ends, I’m prepping the next campaign....

So, honestly not sure if something like this exists....
