Now that the Virtual Flea Market is over, I was wondering if the people that have games listed here for well over 6 months are going to clear out the listings? No reason to have pages and pages of probably out of date listings.

Yes, sounds like a good milestone - I'll start up a clean-up.
Thanks for the prompt!

Sorry Peter, didn’t mean to spur you into action, was hoping people could manage it themselves. With that said, thanks for doing it!

No problem, I need it. I've been meaning to for a while, but kept thinking the time wasn't right. The time is right now!

This is the geeklist's 3-year anniversary!

I seriously thought it was a good time to end it, for reasons. But the truth is, I still have fun doing this. I realized I would probably keep doing it after closing it, in a private list, just for myself. So I decided I could just let it be the way it already is, so others may benefit from it if it is of any interest for them. Yet don't see it as anything but a selfish entertainment on my part.

And just a fun stat to end the day: the average number of crowdfunding game per day is now at 1.98... Isn't that crazy, when you think about it?

Dungeon World is fantastic if you are don't mind PbtA meets old school D&D. I ran a custom made one shot for D&D 5e and Dungeon World, 2 times each, and Dungeon World was more dynamic and fun each time. It's not a tactical battle game like D&D but the narrative mechanics really work.

Let's take one scenario I had where Dark Mantles dropped from the ceiling of a cave while the PCs were on a rope bridge. Instead of giving everyone disadvantage due to their magical darkness, and therefore missing attacks at least 50% more often and creating a tedious game of attrition, DW PCs could only attack if they rolled a 7+ out of 12 on Defy Danger roll and the attempt made narrative sense.

On a 1 - 6, they failed and were put into a precarious situation (e.g. the druid suddenly changed back into a human when climbing on the rope bridge support as a squirrel) and no needed to roll to save themselves before being able to consider attacking. On a 7 - 9, they could attack but might have gotten a hit on them or pushed / smacked a teammate on the way to pummeling the creature. On a 10+, the did exactly the epic reaction they wanted avoiding the danger and got a +1 on their their attack roll next turn.

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing.

It is precisely why I am looking at systems, now, other than Pathfinder and 5e. As much as I enjoy Pathfinder, I am growing a bit tired of the 1" grid combat style where a large battle with many players could take an entire session or two. As a wargamer, I have options for tactical combat, so when I play an RPG I want more narrative-driven mechanics. I won't abandon Pathfinder, but I think I will move on from 5e altogether unless one of my buddies is running a game as he does it so well. If I could go back to the '70s when I rolled my first character, I would. Theatre of the mind was a blast.

Another friend ran a little game for his wife, my wife, and me. It was in a weird western theme. I forgot the underlying engine, but it was nice playing something different from Pathfinder/D&D. I wouldn't mind trying 4th edition. I saw some Chris Perkins videos where he ran games for folks. It looked more like a coop miniatures game but with a ot more depth and options for the players. If I am in a mood for a one-off with combat, it could be a good system to explore.

In season one of Me, Myself, and Die, Trevor introduced me to Savage Worlds, season two to Ironsworn, and season three to Dominion. All of them have some cool ideas.

Does anyone want to split a table at the Flea Market? I have enough games to fill half a table. GM me if you want the other half.
