As expected, interest was mild and nonspecific. I decided to give it three or four days because I know the Den's a quiet corner of internetland. @angelfromanotherpin: I'm in the Eastern Time Zone (US), and free pretty much all the time except Friday and Saturday nights (at least right now). I have a...

Re: Secret Rolls
A game design question for a change... It is very common in many RPGs to have "secret rolls," that is, the gamemaster rolls the dice behind the screen, and only informs the PCs of the result. This is usually the case when the nature of the roll would tip off something to the players about...

[Gauging Interest] The Vaguest LFG Thread Ever
So I'm looking for something to run for y'all or play with y'all and I'm incredibly flexible on the what and the who. D&D 3.5 is sort of a comfort food for me right now in these troubled times, but I also have three or four of my own game settings that--it being impossible to eliminate bias here...

What about advantage, that thing where you get to roll two dice and take the higher? I don't mean how you get it or where it applies or whatever, just the idea itself. That seems like something good to steal to me...with some tweaking...and at a glance. (How I've implemented it, to the half-assed de...

This has made for some interesting reading. I don't have as negative an opinion of the Dying Earth RPG but then again I didn't read it as deeply, that's what OSSRs are for! Without any snark, I am somewhat surprised that Robin D. Laws, whose success as a writer and designer is more or less legendary...

Trump shooting himself in the face repeatedly is entertaining to watch, make no mistake. However the suspicious timing of all of these rape allegations makes it clear that this was a last-ditch contingency that the Deep State had in its pocket to prevent Trump from winning. And that they fucking pla...

@TheFlatline: I am kind of boycotting FFG because Star Wars: Armada was a thing that happened. (Note to any FFG marketing goons reading this: three capital ships does not an armada make, fucktards, I want my 140 dollars back.) So I mainly just wanted to express my unchecked envy of your username . I...

South Park - Season 21: Anyone Else Been Watching?
Well have ya? I've been watching Matt and Trey's crude little cartoon evolve and evolve and evolve since it launched in 1995 when I was 9 years old (I had at least one great parent). So now it's causing me this weird feeling of vertigo watching Matt and Trey at their most erudite--they've gone from ...

I considered nominating Apocalypse World, because while all the games presented have toxic content, Apocalypse World actively encourages toxic and abusive behavior between the GM and the players. But *World can't be the worst RPG, because it is not a G at all. See, unlike say, Fiasco, *World totall...

Something occurred to me recently, just a basic thought about full casters being the ubermentschen to the untermentschen of the DMF et al. The thing that occurred to me is that the game has always been this way--except for 4E, which shat the bed and made everyone equally useless. Bigby, Evard, Hewar...

More A Question Than A Rant - The Big Purple
:tonguesmilie: At least it's not meant to be a rant, when I started typing. If this belongs in MPSIMS, I don't object to it being moved there. I have known for well over a year now that the moderators at RPG.net are actual fascists. I mean, that they have rules that basically amount to them being ab...

This is currently being playtested internally where possible. That said, I wouldn't mind some feedback. None of you get paid for giving me feedback (except the ones who do, who are the exception) but you generally enjoy ripping shit apart so if you see anything legitimately wrongbadwrong with these ...

I would think Elminster by a mile and that's coming from someone who has a niece named Raistlyn. It frankly comes down to licensing--I don't really give a fuck about Elminster and likely neither do you but he's still in Baldur's Gate and name dropped in Salvatore novels either way. I don't know tha...
