Thanks for the really extensive discussion of my question regarding Daylight Saving Time. To put it into context: Whilst most modern operating systems can deal with DST changes without issue, it is partly the interconnectivity through the Internet, and update servers and software relying on...

I had already tweeted about my current project to Jon Bolding. I am busy working on a conversion of The Elder Scrolls for Fate Core (and eventually Fate Accelerated) with the help of the Fate System Toolkit. I found a partial conversion under the title "Scrolls of Fate", but was missing some of...

As long as you are all having fun, it is not so much 'wrong' as 'house rules'. Just because the rulebooks for an RPG say you have to do it one way, doesn't mean you can not decide and agree on another way with your friends. :)

Not sure I would classify "Monopoly" as a role-playing game ... but then again, it would all depend on how much you channelled your inner Gordon Gekko!

I am currently playing a D&D 4e and a Fate Core campaign with friends from the UK and Finland using Roll20 [http://roll20.net/] and Google Hangouts. I have also used Fantasy Grounds [http://www.fantasygrounds.com/] (Steam [http://store.steampowered.com/app/252690/]) for table-top games over...

With the Spiel 2014 Expo [http://www.merz-verlag-en.com/index.html] starting this week (Oct. 16th-19th, 2014) I am revisiting my role-playing book collection before I hit the "bargain" bins at the Expo. Of course this is also the time for fond and less fond memories of the various game systems...

I hesitated about that. Thank you for your insight!

The topic says it all. Is the Gaming Discussion forum the right forum to discuss tabletop and role-playing games, or should this be done in Off-Topic - or even a separate forum?

Not sure why Kross would be involved, or why he would want to trick you ...

I had started to use my Commodore 64, my first computer and gaming system, to also do work for school. Beyond the keyboard that was part of the main unit, I used a joystick to play games, or in this case to move the arrow cursor through the GEOS (the C-64 equivalent of Windows) environment. It...

My increased enjoyment of the Escapist also comes from the increased coverage of tabletop games, science & technology and related topics compared to a more sparse coverage beforehand. The fact that there are now dedicated Senior Editors for these areas is really encouraging. The fact that this...

A few months have passed since the Escapist expanded the site with new sections and design, and I wanted to take a brief moment to express how much I am enjoying the changes and additions. I have grown especially fond of the Tabletop and Science & Technology sections (in addition to Video...

Whilst not a game as such, I have drawn a lot of enjoyment and value from the Playstation Plus subscription. With a few games every month, I have picked up a few titles I might not have looked at closer if I had to spend the money on them. A few of the games from your list, bartholen, are...

What will they think of next! Will we be seeing LEGO Sets appearing in Minecraft? Oh, wait ...

Since food is important: - gyros is Greek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_%28food%29 (and this is how you pronounce it [http://www.stavros.io/posts/how-to-pronounce-gyros/]) - doner kebab is Turkish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab - shawarma is Arabic...
