Some great stuff here, thanks for the recommendation!
Great idea, gotta look into those and see if I can find smth fitting, thank you!
Thank you for the tips, will check those out!
Played in a very fun 2E Kingmaker game. Which was mostly dealing with the death of a character last session and some other roleplay things.
Also GMed more of my Traveller game; a great Pirates of Drinax campaign. Also ran the first session of our Call of Cthulhu "Horror on the Orient Express" campaign; which everybody survived, always a nice start to a CoC game. Plus, the 14 year old street urchin shooting down a zombie was great fun.
I'd recommend checking out the AD&D 2E Planescape campaign setting specifically. It's basically THE "alignment matters" setting in D&D history, and just great fun in general imo.
Really excited to the F1 grid hopefully growing a bit again with proper entries. Andretti and Hitech are the two candidates I see having the best chance in being there longterm, and maybe being competitive.
My group just had to retreat in our last 2E session yesterday. Got ambushed at night, horrible player rolls, plus our GM rolled max damage 90% of the time. After two rounds we had to run and leave the fighter to die to avoid a TPK.
When it comes to who wins the race, sure, it's fairly boring. I just focus on the midfield, and my personal favorite Albon. Watching it with that mindset makes it a lot more interesting in my mind.
Been watching F1 since the early Schumacher years, so one driver/team dominating all years long is nothing new. At least the field as a whole is a lot closer than it has been in those days. No more people getting lapped 4-5 times, and a genuine battle in the midfield. Could it be more exciting, sure, but phases of dominance is pretty much how F1 works these days. I hope the cost-cap will change that going forward a bit more. And stuff like Aston/Alonso just surprising everybody with their amazing performance still makes for a great story and races.
My prediction is that with One D&D, or whatever they're gonna call it, physical books will be basically gone. All digital via Beyond, plus I'm certain they'll block any other VTT from using the new material. So if you wanna play online, you either use the old stuff, or sign-up for their own VTT.
Really glad I never touched that hot mess of a system. WOTC is just pure garbage at this point.
Call of Cthulhu, Traveller, Cyberpunk RED, Pathfinder 2E, Savage Worlds. The only D&D system I will ever play/run again is AD&D 2E. 5E is just a horrible system imo, plus the additional BS that WOTC has been pulling over time, means I will not touch that system with a 10-foot pole
Big Fan! He introduced me to Traveller, and now I've been running a Pirates of Drinax campaign that has been going strong for nearly 2 years, and will probably run for at least another 5 :D
Another map I made for my Traveller Campaign. Combination of a base map made in Dungeon Painter Studio and a bunch of assets from the FGU store.
This was made to represent an attack of the characters on a military outpost/missile silo in the "slum" part of town
Just a quick little map I put together for my "Pirates of Drinax" Traveller Campaign. Entrance to an old Sindalian Vault with a small settlement outside.
