Has anyone given Netflix's The Witcher a shot? I've made it all the way through, but, as with most of Netflix's original content, it feels like something I'll have completely forgotten about in a month. As context, I've played the first two games but not read any of the books. I don't have any real ...

Going to play Gloomhaven for the first time, what should I know about the game mechanics? General thoughts on the game? There's an app you can get that takes care of most of the initiative and enemy HP bookkeeping, although it requires you to have a big screen near your table, taking up even more s...

I liked the John Carter movie. Out of interest, do they mention the original novels, or just the adaptations? Yeah, from ERB, the Barsoom, Tarzan, Venus, and Pellucidar stories are all recommended. I've never read any of his work, it might be the biggest gap in my knowledge of pre-Tolkien fantasy a...

How exactly do y’all envision dungeoneering adventurer PC’s interacting with domains at the table, do PC’s do this when the session is over, does the DM just keep track for them, or is it active table time and if so how do PC’s Omanis interact with each other For ACKS, I think it's common to resolv...

If anyone is curious, this is a reasonably in-depth discussion of ACKS and AER. SineNomine made AER, and Tavis was one of the main ACKS people, although he has since left Autarch.

I’m not clear on how eldritch magic is cast vs singing and ceremonial. Is eldritch spontaneous vancian? Sorry, I must have been unclear. Trying to list all the pertinent points: Eldritch spellcasters, spellsingers, and ceremonialists all draw off of the same spell list. Eldritch spellcasters, spell...

Random question: does anyone remember details about WotC's Setting Search back in 2002, or knows about a blog or something about it? Since Eberron has been officially announced as a 5E release, I'd love to get some background on that setting, but I haven't found anything beyond the most vague of de...

Sorry, the product's actual name is Blade of the Iron Throne. It's been a while. It is a spiritual successor, Norwood was the sole (credited) author of RoS and is only listed as an 'inspiration' in BotIT. BotIT is a saner work than RoS, but only by a certain degree. There's another one as well, cal...

Mordheim or Bloodbowl video games any good? I got the mordheim game for free from a friend, have tried to play it a few times, and have never gotten hooked.

I would say that pirates are just an inherently exciting concept, and people knew this even back in 1987: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier%27s_Pirates!There it is. The exclamation mark is in the actual book title. No one knows why.

The only times I've seen purely digital character sheets used have been in online roll20 games. Even then, everyone just had a communal google sheets file that didn't have any macros built into it or anything. As a player and mister cavern, I find that incentives for players to be looking at their p...
