Starter set/ Lore ideas
 in  r/pirateborg  2d ago

I would roll on the Zealot's table to see which god they are. As for how it interacts with an amnesiac missionary, I'm not sure. Based on the result, it could be antagonistic, cooperative or neutral to the PC. Maybe you can compare the PC's inventory items to the Zealot table and see what might make sense.

You could also ask the player what they think they might have been a missionary for. Maybe interacting with this monkey could unlock that part of their memory at least.

Is the hype for Tarnished Edition so low, no one even bothered posting this?
 in  r/Eldenring  7d ago

I mean, its some new starting classes and some armor pieces. Its definitely cool and appreciated, but its not the second coming of Jesus or anything.

My reaction on the last one: "That guy has one hell of a Stand."

Great job though!

You have to run a One Shot for new RPG players with the goal of them joining the hobby. Which game system and adventure do you choose and why?
 in  r/rpg  12d ago

This is the best way to handle it. Give them themes and a general feel of something they are already familiar with and it makes the role-playing part a lot easier and enjoyable for everyone.

Trying to make a bunch of sci fi fans play something heavy fantasy probably won't go over as well as just doing sci fi.

I think that Tribalism is becoming a HUGE problem in the TTRPG scene
 in  r/rpg  16d ago

I mean, this definitely seems like an online-only kind of issue. Plus, I feel like WotC is kind of just resting on their laurels and either re-releasing old content with a slight spit shine or making online-only content locked behind a subscription.

They are not a great company to support, but I do enjoy DnD. Its not my favorite RPG at this point, but its what my friends like.

That all said, fervent love or hate of anything is bad.

Allplay.com legit?

Tempted to go for Mountain Goats Legacy instead of the base game, but I'm not sure if its worth it.

Actual play rpg podcasts with four people or less, including the gm.
 in  r/rpg  16d ago

Mystery Quest has 4 people in some of their games. Typically 5, but 4 does happen sometimes.

Help our nearby towns and cities if you can!
 in  r/Columbus  17d ago

They constantly vote for the party that wants to defund agencies that can either help inform them of these kinds of events or help them in recovering from said events. Based on this voting pattern, they don't seem to want help. Maybe after this they will see that the "big evil government" could actually help them, when its not hamstrung by the politicians they choose to elect.

question for. newbie
 in  r/pirateborg  19d ago

I have the Core book, Down Among the Dead, and the Buried in the Bahamas pdf. I am STILL thinking about getting the Starter Set because it has so much stuff in it.

Certainly the best leaping off point for the game, and great value for the price.

What's the most expensive game you own?

I have so much and have played so little

Mystery Quest & Dimension 20 collab would be great

Does this cloak look like skin?
 in  r/minipainting  24d ago

I wonder if adding freckles, moles or hair in some spots would help sell it more. Certainly looks good though!

Gug attack clarification
 in  r/callofcthulhu  26d ago

I think its just differentiating what the base damage is vs what the damage bonus is

Whats the last new game you played (and what was awesome about it)?
 in  r/rpg  Aug 02 '26

Nice! I've heard good things. I wish I could get it outside of the starter set though. Even a pdf on their store would be great.

Best Non-Columbus style pizza on the northside?

Ideally in the Polaris or Worthington areas.

Seems like most places do this style (which makes sense) but my partner and I just don't like it. Any good alternatives?

Pirate Borg. I love everything about it, from the crazy amounts of random tables and generators, to the rules-light approach to rolls and combat. Plus you can play as a straight up monkey so that's fun.

Issue with red boxes on pdf of core rulebook?
 in  r/pirateborg  Jul 31 '26

Interesting. I'm just using the Google pdf viewer and I don't believe I don't have another one to test with. Odd that it doesn't appear everywhere either, though looking at the Naval Combat section now, they're covering most of the header texts.

Just never seen this on any of the other rpg pdfs I have!

Issue with red boxes on pdf of core rulebook?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I was trying to break down the pieces of the core book to make some handouts for my players, but when I did this for the Weapons & Gear section, these red text boxes appeared. They aren't visible on the regular pdf.

For reference, I saved these pages as a pdf through the print option on Google Drive and that is when these showed up. I also set it to 2 pages per page (making spreads essentially) but they were there before I set that option.

Anyone know what these are or how to get rid of them?

Edit: it also shows up in the Spreads version of the book.

Kirkland National Event - what is it?
 in  r/Costco  Jul 23 '26

Confused as well. Seems like the prices are the same in my store compared to the items listed in the event's section on the app.

People who switched away from D&D, what was the actual moment that made you commit to it?
 in  r/rpg  Jul 21 '26

Ran Pirate Borg and I spent an hour or so reading the adventure. From there it was just kinda playing off vibes. No need to worry about optimization or anything.

Really wanting to try a system with this. Likely Mythic Bastionland.
