I hear a lot of false dichotomies in TTRPG spaces… some people don’t seem to realize that we can like both crunchy and rules light games, lore-heavy and procedural settings, and so on. AFAICT most people have quite the range in their tastes in games/movies/music/etc.
Congrats to Free League on all the ENNIE awards, especially the unsurprising but still well deserved fan favourite publisher award! Vaesen and Alien are great games, YZE is a great system, check them out!
Ptolus is a fucking monster of a book. Seriously it’s huge. I don’t think I’ll ever play it as is, but I’ll definitely borrow ideas here and there! It’s full of them.
This book was left on my doorstep yesterday. I don’t remember ordering it but I had dreams about it these past few weeks. Is it my handwriting in it? Can’t be, it’s part of the printed pages. Hold on, my nose is bleeding, be right back.
Finally got my hands on a Thieves World boxed set. I would have LOVED this as a kid. Maps and encounter tables and “street level” intrigue and NPCs… looks good!
I already had the Dreamlands one in French, but I recently grabbed both in English (they had a decent price on eBay!) For a long time it was my only systemless RPG supplement and I loved how that, with its weird illustrations, set it apart!
