Opportunity Actions: Review – The Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game

Hey, gang, it’s me again, your (not really) humble Opportunist. I’ve been doing a lot of reviews lately. Here’s another one.

Welcome Me to the Sandbox

I’m not usually a sandbox-style DM, but darn it, I am now.   I wouldn’t call what I do railroading, either, so much as tailored storytelling.

Ideas for D&DNext

(I want to preface this post with a note. This is my (AlioTheFool) wishlist for D&D Next. This is by no means a list of demands, nor does it necessarily reflect the views or desires of anyone else here at RPGMusings.) I’m now looking forward to the next iteration of D&D. The idea that Wizards [...]

Getting The Party Started

As a GM, there are few things I hate more upon starting a new game than the mess that inevitably arises from getting a load of PCs, who may not have anything at all to do with one another, into a vague semblance of a coherent group. Most of the time, it just feels like [...]
