I'm an amateur game developer, tabletop enthusiast, and featured reviewer at DriveThruRPG.

I'm primarily focused on cyberpunk and science-fiction, though I love a good fantasy setting. I'll freely admit that I'm relatively new to tabletop gaming (three or four years), and most of my knowledge is in more contemporary games and indie games, but I try to be helpful.

11h	awarded	Guru
11h	comment	Where can I get fantasy public domain art? And even then, BY-ND is questionable for use in a product, since you'd probably have to modify the image (making a derivative) to use it.
14h	comment	Savage Worlds: Safety Harnesses and Airbags? He answered a while back ago, and since his answer's pretty authoritative I figured it'd probably be a good bet to accept it.
14h	comment	How can I run games in Shadowrun, without going overboard? Nope, carnal sin is a distinct category as well.
1d	accepted	Running a Counter-Strike style Shadowrun?
1d	accepted	Running a “Chaotic Evil” PC in a morally ambivalent group?
1d	accepted	Things that all characters are vulnerable to in Shadowrun?
1d	accepted	Savage Worlds: Safety Harnesses and Airbags?
1d	answered	Justifications for the existence of cyberpsychosis
1d	answered	In D&D, A PC became king. How do I keep him in check?
1d	comment	How can I run games in Shadowrun, without going overboard? Basically, for the last part here, what I'm trying to say is "Don't blow stuff up too quickly." Start characters slow; my players have learned to appreciate 3 Karma a session as a nice treat. At a certain point characters go "godmode"; I've found this to be about 450 Karma-when you reach this point the only possible answer is to escalate well outside the boundaries that Shadowrun handles well.

1d	comment	Messing with the Wild Die? Lower individual dice do work better, but when you're taking the best of two it matters a little less. The mode of rolls from our session (of the better of the two) was 2, and while that says horrible things about our experiences with probability, they certainly weren't getting better to six. Basically, what you wind up with is the better of the two-the d4 has a better chance to ace, but the other die will usually be higher and have a better shot.
2d	comment	Does there exist an application for tracking your library of games? I've found several tabletop games on Goodreads, for what it's worth.
2d	comment	Messing with the Wild Die? Seen it-not the same as changing the Wild Die, but got me thinking on the subject.
2d	comment	Messing with the Wild Die? It wasn't too far away from it.
May 19	comment	Messing with the Wild Die? I ran a session tonight-not with the full on apocalypse rules, but just with the d4 modification, and it was hilariously pathetic; it was a Mafia themed one-shot, but it basically ended up like Snatch, with constant epic failures.
May 18	answered	How effective would a mech be in a city environment?
May 18	revised	How effective would a mech be in a city environment? Added wh40k tag, because it really is about wh40k.
May 18	comment	How effective would a mech be in a city environment? I immediately thought of GearHead, with its city-based battles. With even three or four combatants, skyscrapers get knocked down by accident.
