That does sound like a good overall introduction with plenty of room for expansion in GM advice, settings and adventures. I do tend to feel that Star Trek is better with out easy access to Time Travel, but then I don't really enjoy the many god-like beings floating about either.

BattleTech is great. On the TTRPG side of things, I don't love MW Destiny but I do really like A Time of War.

Does someone have a gently played gloomhaven?


I have an unplayed copy that I will sell you for $20. It's the standee version from the second Kickstarter; I just never got around to playing it, and after playing the PC game, I am not sure I want to, tbh. The box contents are all punched, so it might need a bit of a sort when you open it, but it's been chilling in my storage unit so it's in great condition. Send me a DM if interested.

I think it would be hard to argue that books from the 80s and 90s are a better physical product than modern books.

I think modern books are prettier, as so many are full-colour hardcovers, but I'm not sure they're actually better. I miss the sheer legibility of black text on white paper with no page art and minimal text decoration. Given the option, I'd still rather have the old-style layout.

(And like you, I also miss pen-and-ink illustrations.)

Open ended questions rather than ones that invite one word answers with a lot of room for discussion rather than answer and leave tend to work best, imo, though how to craft that last part in particular is tricky.

I asked this QotD specifically so I'd have an opportunity to opine that any QotD which can be answered with "yes" or "no" isn't a good prompt for discussion.

That's not to say that there's no place for yes/no questions; they just need follow-on prompts. "Have you ever…" is a weak question, because "no" is a complete answer. And the more specific that question gets, the more likely that a significant proportion of the replies will just be "no". But "have you ever…" augmented with "If not, why not?" or "What would convince you to…" leaves room for more interesting responses.

August, a month so busy that I usually miss it. It's here. There's a big conference for work, so next week's column might be on time, it might be late, or I might let well enough alone and catch up the following week. We'll see, I guess, how I feel next weekend.

As a reminder, I cover bundles from Monday last week to this last Sunday so I can draft the post in advance. I'll cover yesterday's bundle's next week.

Bundle of Holding

The only bundle this week from Bundle of Holding is the Dungeon Age 2 bundle, which brings together a number of old school fantasy scenarios by Joseph R. Lewis for you to run with your favorite old school system.
