    Amazing info! Thank you. I'm currently running a session 0 tutorial where I started the players in low berths on a crashed Far Trader...

    Awesome advice, thank you! I might pick up the Borderlands book and maybe explore that before we get into PoD. Right now we're doing my...

    And you keep coming back to 'Here is a platform which is completely designed around d20 as a measure for how popular a non-d20 game is'...

    I haven't checked this claim, so maybe it is true -- but I thought the most popular RPG around the world was 'Call of Cthulhu' by...

    No one is "getting worked up about a Holy War". That's just you being a jerk and disrespecting other peoples' opinions. This is...
