I first saw something like this in the board game Crystal Clans - whenever you use an action, the initiative tracker moved its cost towards your opponent's side. When it crossed over, it became your opponent's turn. It's an interesting idea but the game never really seemed to make it worthwhile to d...

https://frialigan.se/en/news/#/pressreleases/free-league-signs-deal-to-publish-rpgs-in-tolkiens-middle-earth-2979811 From my understanding, the book was written through a secondary company, and only kinda published by Cubicle7, so the second edition will be made, just by Free League Publishing.

this is never going to displace Spirit Island from my game bag (which has gotten rid of Arkham Horror to me) I like Spirit Island a lot , and replacing Arkham Horror is pretty reasonable. It's a strong co-op game with a lot of dials to make the game easier or harder but the setup and play times are...

Skies of axia will last about 3 sessions, and is best with the same 4 players currently. So its not going to fill that gap youre looking for currently - this is never going to displace Spirit Island from my game bag (which has gotten rid of Arkham Horror to me).. But it will provide a quick alternat...

Why did you use PBTA as the baseline engine, instead of Shadowrun 4 or GUMSHOE or whatever? I like GUMSHOE a lot, but it's pretty bad when it comes to actual action stuff. I think it's better for more modern-day games, where you have a wild variety of investigation techniques, too. I can't justify ...

Beneath A Cursed Moon - Castlevania inspired monster hunting
Late last year, I finished work on Beneath a Cursed Moon - my RPG about monster hunting in a gothic fantasy setting. It pulls inspirations from Castlevania, Bloodborne, The Mummy (1999), Dracula, Hellboy, Disney’s Gargoyles, and you’ll find some After Sundown ideas running through it, too. The playe...

Tabletop RPG Discord Server
I've started up a Tabletop RPG Discord Server - Discord is kind of like Skype, but with a browser or downloadable version, and overall just seeming better quality and better suited to more public/IRC style chatrooms. It can be found here: https://discordapp.com/invite/PR7xsEf I'm hoping to keep thin...

The 40K card game, Call of Cthulhu LCG, and Star Wars LCG (all made by Fantasy Flight) have locations you fight over, although for the latter two locations are sort of temporary affairs. PC games Spectromancer and Soulforge have lane-based combat, but relatively little moving. The physical version o...

Just want to acknowledge that I've read this, and I appreciate the huge amount of comments. It'll take me some time to digest them and find time to tinker on the game. The mechanics stuff - I'm going to have to think on that a bit, chew it over, and see if I can't figure out a better way to organize...

First, can we not devolve into sexist and ableist comments here, at least when discussing this? Seriously, it's entirely uncalled for. Second, as much as I greatly dislike a lot of people who are particiating in thsi discussion and think their games are shit, they are pretty much right about the har...

Highwinds - Space Opera Fantasy Sci-Fi RPG
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50652244/Highwinds%20v0.1.pdf I've completed v0.1 of Highwinds, after way, way too long mulling over it. Highwinds is a space opera RPG that's really more of fantasy with spaceships - there's magic, and guns, and cool humanoid aliens. It's based off of the Feng Sh...

The point is that no matter what you call people who are not bigots, bigots will turn in it into a pejorative, and stupid idiots like Laertes will buy it and help them. You, idiot. Stop talking about how Social Justice Warriors embarrass you. That is complete bullshit made up by bigots. Just like M...

There's a series of Flash RPGs that are actually pretty good, but I can't remember the name. The first one or two were just a connected series of RPG battles (literally, you don't even have the wander-around-talking-to-NPCs aspect), but the next one is more of a traditional RPG. You're thinking of ...

4. Palladium's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first edition. I'd call chargen a war crime, but that would be unduly harsh to many infamous war criminals.

The Professor isn't too great - but his style is generally grab 1x a bunch of different neat programs, and use search and rescursion (test run, clone chip, self-modifying code) to find the exact program they need.
