The Tavern needs to be a safe place and comply with the law. In the UK the OSA requires us to know the age of our members and posters, and yet the UK Govt. has not provided a method to do this that is affordable to small voluntary BBS like ours. To that end, all members are safe and secure, we know you must be adults by now. However if you wish to join as a member, please contact us using the form at the [very] bottom of the page and we shall do a one to one verifiaction.

I’m one of the moderators for the Mythic Gamemaster Emulator Discord - if you’ve got questions or just want to talk co-op/solo GM-less play you should hop on in.
We talk about all GM-less tools, systems, styles with very fluid and friendly conversations. The server has a goal of being are supportive of folks new to this particular slice of the hobby. Many of us also use these tools as “GM Prep” aids so even non-GM-less folks are welcome.

I think I will not go big this time and settle with just the Player's or GM's bundles.
I just bumped up my LOKE wilderness battlemaps pledge by adding a generic GM screen, the dungeon and town battlemaps and a book of encounters.
Also bought a big star field game map with hexes for the lovely space ships @Vodkashok painted for me.
Then I doubled down and bought an early access Philippines fantasy game in the style of 4e's tactical styling Gubat Banwa
Then I went wild, bought a D6 Space solo and the 20th T&T solo, the Amulet of Salkti.

Loke Battlemats, the A3 size that open up to A2 laid out are superb. I used the Sci Fi ones a lot during my Starfinder Campaign. Also got the towns versions. The only one in their series I skipped was wilderness. Have many of those from Pathfinder.

Like the Guvnor I've also gone with the LOKE wilderness battlemaps and added the first Giant Battle Maps book that I missed first time around. I've now got Sci-fi, Cyberpunk, Dungeon, and Town sets. Next task - get all those minis painted!

I resisted my fanboy urge to get Fallout the RPG for ooooh all but 20 minutes. I picked up the GMs pack. As a Fallout 4 fan the pre-order pdf is hitting all the right notes. The layout is clean, and the colour art, which looks like its straight from the concept art dept of the Video game itself is evocative. Although I'm a 2d20 system virgin it seems straightforward enough.
Already inspired enough to put together a quick scenario outline, along with pitch that I'll be offering soon as a one shot online game
Oh and while I was at the Modiphus web store, I picked up the standard edition of Dune, because well it Dune. Not dug into that yet

I have the SciFi, dungeon, and cyberpunk books and they’ve been a great investment.
Peter Schweighofer’s Asturia Incident? It is good fun if so. Otherwise do share the title as I thought I’d played all the solo D6 material.
Our friend @Vodkashok has made great use of them, and I just need to plan for post VTT gaming.. I have got so addicted to good mappage.

Yes! I played his short library based one and it wetted my appetite. I follow his blog and it's interesting to get the insight from someone who worked at WEG from the early days.

I am tempted to get his Pulp Egypt just for the read.

It’s pretty good, as was the Pacific one. That’s through a lens of over a decade, so take it with a pinch as I’m not sure how it stands to modern sensibilities. It did nail the genre.

The first 2d20 game for me was Mutant Chronicles, which I always saw as the poor man's Warhammer 40,000, so obviously I backed the Kickstarter.
Corvus Belli Infinity, I never heard of its miniatures game so skipped it, until Graham Spearing got me indoctrinated at Northstar.
Robert E Howard's Conan is my all time favorite, both the source literature and the particular variant of 2d20 rules powering the game, so I spent big on it. And even got to work on The Black Kingdoms.
Star Trek Adventures with its focus on The Next Generation, that was a definite buy in from me. Remembering my childhood, we would regularly on schedule visit our rich friend who had satellite TV and access to foreign shows just to watch TNG (yes, I did not grow up in UK and my family were lower working class economically).
John Carter of Mars, the art of Michael Whelan and his Dejah Thoris illustrations got teenage me to read all the novels, so I just had to back that Kickstarter, including miniatures.
Finally, Dune, need I say more, gmaes as if there was a choice not to go all in, when even my church pastor quotes Dune.
The only non-popular one in the Modiphus 2d20 games garden is Achtung Cthulhu, but its pulp action punching of Nazis and mythos minions got me unto that train too.
So yes, I have way too many 2d20 gamex.
