      Lkke Kleenex and Xeroxes for tissues and photocopies, DnD is now the generic term for tabletop analog RPGs. All the wizards of the coastal AND land-locked regions can suck on that fact.

        I think it’d be more fun if everyone just went on google and searched ‘ad&d 2nd edition filetype:pdf’ and just declared that the de facto. Kinda like how we still call it Twitter and largely ignore it except when we’re hosting a screengrab that deprives X of revenue

        Blades in the Dark, Mothership, Masks, Monster of the Week, Slugblaster and many many more are definitely worth looking out for.

        Rpgs can and are so much more than DnD

            I’ve never actually played the original but have had a huge amount of fun with many “Powered by the Apocalypse” games, especially Monster of the Week, my group were all huge x files fans so it was a great fit.

              I’ve never played Slugblaster but all the rest were great fun. However, I have had the very best sessions with Apocalypse World 2 and Monsterhearts 2. If you are into either of those genres and have the group for it you’re in luck. A good session feels better than literally taking happy drugs.

              (Finding the right group for Monsterhearts is quite the trick though.)

                Slugblaster is brand new. Not actually played a session yet but the book is a work of art and the game looks fantastic
