    Crawl By Post: Black Hearts & Blaggards (Megadungeon)

    Do you long for the days of yore, filled with swords and sorcery? Do you hear the ringing clash of steel, the iron-shod boots on crumbling stonework, and the torch's flickering light? Do you remember when surviving to level three was an accomplishment worthy of a bardic ballad? Then Crawl by...

  3. Reading through people's D&D Campaigns

    I came across a treasure trove of a groups old Planescape campaign (maps, notes, chat logs, etc.) and just fell into their game. https://mysidia.org/Planescape/OldDM/?C=M;O=A /Logs/Session 050ac /CityCourt.png /PlanescapeNotes.txt Outside say Critical Roll, any other campaign materials...

    Wraith: The Oblivion

    Did anyone of you ever play Wraith: The Oblivion? If so,what were your experiences? Is it worth it? The setting seems pretty great,very dark and hopeless in tone.

    Decline D20 is terrible so where are the 2D6 CRPGs?

    TL;DR: See the title, where are the CRPGs with 2D6 systems and low numbers? Old school isn't 2ed ADnD. I want to escape the tyranny of the icosahedron. --- Having gotten some time off this Christmas I have finally managed to get some time into the new Pathfinder game and what strikes me is...

  8. Homebrew PnP Rpg system discussion

    Has anyone here tried to create their own home-brew system? How did the attempt at creating it go? What did you dislike about conventional systems (Dnd, Ars Magica, etc.) that made you go out to make one yourself? What sort of mechanics and features did you try to innovate? Do you like having...

    Feedback needed for my new 3d project (PnP/board gaming miniatures related!)

    Howdy bois! I hope I'm not posting this in a wrong part of the forums, but if true - please, just move this post to the proper ones. So, I'm currently working on another 3d printing project for my PnP campaigns. I got few years of experience in that field, but my first minis were basicly whole...

    Anime Obscure PnP Games

    I'm not sure if there was a thread specifically created for this, or if it was mentioned before, but it deserves a mention in any case: https://projects.inklesspen.com/fatal-and-friends/ Here there's a collection of obscure rpgs reviewed by the SA forums (which thankfully don't require an...

  11. Nobilis

    Anyone played this game? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobilis I've been reading the 2nd edition rulebook and it makes Planescape look like a philosophy class for kindergarten age. This is some heavy esoteric stuff, quite surreal and interesting!

    Tabletop Music Thread

    I don't see much discussion about this, but sometimes good background music can make a tabletop pnp or board game adventure that much more atmospheric. Do you play background music during your sessions, and if you do, what sort of music/playlists do you play?

    Obscure or semi-obscure RPGs

    Ricard Ibañez's "Nahui Ollin" was released last week, and that got me thinking. Some of you might know the man from his more famous work, "Aquelarre", the medieval fantasy game, which as far as I know is his only work to have been translated into English. The author is a historian (specializing...

    Why the insistence from devs on changing PnP rules to cRPG??

    I understand that there are some limitations on computers and you can't improvise and that spells like Raise island is almost impossible to be translated to an computer. The same happens when you try to adapt an book into an movie or series. But is really good to adapt when is not a necessity...

  16. Talislanta

    Years ago I bought Talislanta campaign setting and Talislanta Menagerie but never managed to start a game with my then PnP group. Are there any Talislanta veterans here? What's the game like?

    KickStarter I will just leave that here..

    and would be quite happy if you have feedback. This is the PnP ruleset I wrote over the last year. It is based on low randomness/die rolls and separation of magic and combat. Feel free to ridicule, use, comment.

  19. Decline Critical role ruined PnP

    Matthew mercer, a prominent voiceactor of Eder, Aloth, and many many more, has created a running youtube series of DnD gameplay known as critical role. Normally I consider the anti-sjw/incel and political opinions of the codex on the same level of a raving lunatic on drugs, but in this case I...

    Arcanum Pen and Paper. What would you choose?

    I've been considering building a campaign set in the world of Arcanum, but I'm wondering where to turn for a system that models some of the more interesting mechanics from the CRPG -- namely, the Magic vs. Technology divide. Required Features: Skill-based vs. class-based melee, unarmed...

    Help this Newfag™ get started with PnP

    To make long story short, I'm a newfag to the whole cRPG genre. My only encounter with RPGs in my childhood was mostly JRPGs, like Radiata Stories, Sword of Mana, Final Fantasy (specifically FFXII), etc etc. I remembered playing a Wizardry game on PS2, so it's probably my first and only...

We started with AD&D but moved on towards more complex systems like traveller or the dark eye. But after college everyone now lives in another...
