Curious: How do you pronounce the following word?

Drow.

Drow, rhymes with crow. That’s how we’ve all been pronouncing it, right?!! Right?!!!

Cuz I just saw a video on YouTube by Ed Greenwood, and I suppose he’s the one who would know, and apparently that’s incorrect.

Drow, rhymes with cow.

WTF??!!

I don’t know if this idea has ever been presented or done, so forgive me if I’m restating something you heard before. It’s also my first post here, so go easy on me if you can.

We all know the many tales of the unfortunate job of the park ranger. Whether it be dealing with teens having a bonfire, finding the body of a kid, somehow finding a town full of missing people, encountering a cult, or dealing with hell’s escapees, these guys really don’t have the best luck when all they do is sit in a tower. It really makes you wonder what it’d be like to be these guys.

Obviously, you wouldn’t feel the terror if you’re some hulking warrior that can delete things in 6 seconds, so this would have to be set in the Call of Cuthulu system. The investigators and rangers are similar in nature (get it?) and the whole point is feeling powerless.

Id run this game to play test it myself, but I have no idea how to run a Call of Cthulhu game and can’t even run a game anyways. Still, I’d like to hear your thoughts on a game like this. What else does it need?

Hey Reddit! I'm looking for ttrpg systems that have survival mechanics. And I mean mechanics to track certain needs for survival (food, water, resources), and there being impacts when you don't. The most common one I could think of is DnD and their exhaustion mechanic, but it's a bit... limited.

Anyone know of TTRPG systems with more parameters/mechanics for this, with a more realism or resource tracking experience?

As someone who dabbled in D&D and Pathfinder in the mid 2000s and only recently came back to the hobby, it's been a shock to my system at how much the presentation of games has changed. Obviously this varies from game to game and book to book, but going from older books that read like textbooks to more modern systems that have concise, well spaced wording amazes me.

I'm now completely spoiled by good presentation and can't go back to the cramped, wordy structure of many older games. I tried looking into some Pathfinder PDFs that I've had for the better part of a decade and good lord did my mind disengage and my eyes slip off the page with just how damn dense and verbose it all is.

Books like Bladerunner, Dragon's Bane, the Borg books, and Flames of Freedom all have excellent layout that prioritizes clarity and readability over density of information. Obviously this is easier to do with rules light systems over more complex rules heavy games, but it can be done none the less.

So, how important is presentation to you guys? What is the most important part of a game's presentation to you? What are good examples of good or bad presentation?

Either be a obtuse system, rules that are hard to follow and what not.

i personally HATE when ttrpgs recycle art from other media (like card games) and try to pass it as original art, or re using art from previous editions....or being AI art

Hi all, I would like to write/adapt a one-shot or short campaign heavily inspired by Stanislaw Lem's works, particularly The Invincible with also a bit of Solaris lore. I am especially keen on the atmosphere of his works and would like to reflect them in the game as much as I could and looking for the systems that can back the atmosphere with its mechanics as well. I'm thinking about Mothership or Alien RPG from Free league. If you have experience with these two which one do you recommend and why ? I would also be glad to hear if there are other systems that you would recommend ? For example ,while searching online, AI, etc. I ran into Grups Space but have no idea about it) Thanks for all suggestions.

Hey everybody, I'm wanting to get into Call of Cthulhu more and was wondering what are the best ways to learn how to run this game? Have any suggestions for videos to watch, practice modules to buy/download?

If actual plays are suggested, I'd prefer if they were edited, have good audio, and good for learning the game. Not quite looking for that awesome audio drama like quality for right now.

Seems like a silly question because I'm sure the answer is "Yes." Just curious because you have to ask "the player if the bond is resolved" to make a new one and get XP. I assume I'd just be the player in that case. Just couldn't find it in the rulebook.

Quite curious suddenly about playing in the world of Samurai Shamploo. Amazing animation and adventure path to follow.

Got a Taschen book for Xmas, Edo to Kyoto path of 69 stations. I imagined someone must have examined some kind of RPG for this combo of adventure seeds. Looking for the flavor of an old Japan. Meditative, exploratory, alien but comfortable to a westerner without monsters.
