I agree. That is a nonsense request. Keep doing what youβre doing. Your channel is great.
Thanks. I snagged it and plan on giving it a read
I ran a game of Alternity StarDrive for a couple of years. We enjoyed it. Some of the rules were a little clunky, but I liked the normal, good, amazing degrees of success.
Cool art. I picked up the Goodman games homage to this module, and I am planning on running the 5E version in the near future.
Thatβs a good question. I will probably drop a few hints. I picked up Doors of Darkness and plan to run some of those adventures to ease us into the CoC mindset. I also need some time to get my brain wrapped around the 1920s before diving into my own stories.
My players are used to action RPGβs so they barrelled passed a lot of clues. That worked OK because it was one of the adventures from the starter set. I suspect that will be a problem later, but I think we got a good grasp of the mechanics.
I am finally running my first game of Call of Cthulhu tonight. Iβve been playing the game at cons for years. I finally sat down and read the keepers book and decided to take a crack at it.
While my group doesnβt play DND 5.5 I hope it doesnβt flop. I see it as the gateway game to bring new players into the hobby.
T -1 hour. Iβm a huge Alien fan and looking forward to it.
Seems like a good rule. I plan on trying it out.
My son and I are heading that way soon.

I have played this game a couple times at conventions. I thought it was a decent rules lite, low fantasy RPG. The stance system worked good for the of theatre of the mind combat. I personally like the Dragonbane mechanics better and wished they had used that.

Love it. Thanks for posting.
Dragonbane is a well thought out basic fantasy RPG. I ran it for about a month and liked it as a Game Master. It wasnβt as popular with my gaming crew. They prefer the larger systems that offer many more character options.
Our kickstarter is live. I would consider it a persona favor if you helped share the link and spread the word. Thanks all! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ken...
Happy birthday
I donβt run #DnD, but I do run similar TTRPGs. I rarely use tables or specific mechanics. During downtime I have the players describe what they want to do, I assign an appropriate skill roll, and then I narrate the result.

Looks like Free League listened to this for the updated Alien RPG.
Obviously, the GM put the fire there for a reason. You should stay and see what happens.
Yeah, the only time I ever get to play as a player is at conventions.
