My local gaming store backs kickstarters and then they sit on their shelves forgotten by the DnD and Pathfinder people that come to play. Tremulus has been sitting there since the original KS and first printing of Night Witches and Vornheim!

Nice! Tremulus is at the top of my to-get list.

Dragons Lair in ATX does the same thing. They had a hardback copy of Dungeon World sitting on the shelf one day. I snatched that sucker fast.

Night Witches is the painful hollow in my PbtA shelf!

Props to your FLGS to have the indy books in stock and to back Kickstarters at the retailer level.

The D&Ds and Pathfinders of the world are always going to be the heavyweights, but it’s good to see a FLGS stocking stuff like this. Now they just need someone running them to coax people away from the standy-bys briefly to see there’s a much wider gaming world out there. 🙂

Angela Murray oh, if only I had enough time. My local has said they are up for me running Dungeon World there; it’s now all on me 🙁

Chris Shorb Time is always the problem. I work nights, so I had thought about trying to run a weekday afternoon thing at one of the local stores for kids off school in the summer, but never got around to organizing it. Maybe next summer, or during one of the week long breaks during the year.

Has anyone played #Tremulus. I am curious about its feel at the table?

I’m on the wait list for it too, I think – just in case!

I played it as a one shot a few years ago and I enjoyed it, but that may have been the GM more than the game itself. I’m not the biggest Cthulhu fan, so I’m probably not the best judge.

Shame on those D&D people. Vornheim IS D&D!

Mm I think Vornheim would have sold fairly well. I think it was brought to the front to sell and I nabbed it right away before going back to the stacks!

I’ve found that a lot of people today are pretty focused on “official” and “correct” being the same thing. Vornheim & DIY takes them out of that comfort zone. So they scurry back to safety with much muttering of “imbalance” and “risqué”.

I don’t think think that’s anything new. It takes a degree of maturity (or contrariness, because I’ve met immature folks playing fringe stuff too) to venture outside those safe zones.
There’s also a degree of funneling with what GMs introduce their players too. There are plenty of groups out there that have one GM, so they play whatever that GM wants to run. I’d love to see people be adventurous when getting a chance to play something new, but there are also folks who want to stay focused on whatever game they get in regular doses.

Fraser Simons You made it off the waitlist for tremulus, but you’re only RSVP’d for Sessions 1 & 2. If you want to be in 3 & 4 also, let me know.
