Hearing Mike talk about the game and the genre in this video is so inspirational. I hope to shake his hand someday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYxt...

Your texturing is *so* pretty.

Me when I got excited to see a "Dark Souls TTRPG" book that was just a 5e supplement:

When I think of a magic user with a sword Geralt of Rivia is the first character that comes to mind. So I guess "Witcher" is my answer.

Not to sound condescending, but what is the difference between this book and the Basic Roleplay Universal Game Engine?

I find the most effective method is to write interesting NPCs, plan out some plot beats, and leave the rest up to improvisation. I believe tabletop games are about telling a story with your friends, and you should leave room for their input and collaboration.

Yes, yes, yes to wet paint, no to dried paint.

I lost the energy to get mad at Hasbro for making awful decisions regarding D&D about four outrages ago. It's just another corporation making macabre marionettes out of once beloved things because name recognition makes money.

It's a smart idea. That's something I was glad to find when I got the OSE books. Players used to looting in video games typically ask to check dead bodies.

I get mine with cheese, mustard, and ketchup. Grilled onions are a good choice though.

4. OSE is my current system of choice for a medieval dungeon crawler. I find the balance between classes and the hackablity very appealing. Between Classic, Advanced, and the Carcass Crawler zines I think this might be my medieval RPG gospel for the next few years.

3. DCC was my first purchase in an attempt to find my replacement for a medieval fantasy RPG. I'll happily run it if requested, but the funky dice and some of the niche mechanics make it too table dependent for me. I think it's a great system, and I'll continue to use it for reference in my games.

2. Like many others I left D&D 5e behind me this year. The Monster Overhaul is a holy grail for running OSR and system neutral games. So much research, love, and dedication is evident in this collection. It's a must have for game masters whether you players are fighting monsters or eating them.

1. Pendragon is a game I'm not sure I'll have the opportunity to run or play anytime soon, but it's a system that inspires me in my game mastering. The leatherette version is excellent quality. I love the art, the lore, and the combat mechanics. Thank you Sir Gregor and his Court. Rest in peace.

3. Skavenslayer was an excellent sequel. Having the tent pole setting of Nuln made for a great exploration of how the titular characters act when they aren't moving from village to village. The skaven are also such an interesting faction. They're now my inspiration for how I'll play kobolds for now.

2. I started my journey with WH Fantasy this year. Trollslayer is still my favorite so far. The anthology of short adventures of Gotrek and Felix reads like an old RPG campaign being ran by a true professional. Easily one of my top 5 books of all time.

1. In 2023 I read through 8 different Dragonlance books to have a grasp of the setting for a campaign I was running. Lord Soth was the last one I finished back in June. I'd probably put it in my top 5. Soth's descent into evil was very entertaining. Dragonlance has become my favorite D&D setting.

Oh yeah, JRPGs are not my regular circle, but I have heard of that series. Thanks!

I love that Mortimer vaguely resembles a young Yahtzee.

There was a pizza place near the movie theater we were leaving. We decided to cross the snow covered field instead of waiting on our ride (we were 14/15). I carried her across the field so she wouldn't ruin her shoes. At the very end I slipped and I ended up on top of her in a ditch. I felt so bad.
