We solved that with rubber bands in 4th grade... Yup, same, but for me, also to force me to not retell the same thing.

Any game based upon the rule system of Apocalypse World, not quite synonymous with AWE (Apocalpyse World Engine). PBTA is generally a wider term, but the narrower AWE isn't that much narrower. Key aspects (pun intended) of AWE: Move Rolls: 2d6+asset vs ≤6, 7⋯9, 10+, for fail, complicated...

It is a problem for my online group, but not a big one. Whomever I heard first (being the GM) gets to go first, and the other next, barring fear or failure. This group really digs the options for gridded play and for the 3 activations per round... I'm still learning the interface of the Forge...

I've had listeners-in since the mid-80's in some of my groups. Two of my group-hosts lived with one or more parents. LH, elderly mother & roommate of one of my gamers, who hosted, never played, but would often give me ideas. DB's mother loved to listen in most of the time... She occasionally...

It's also Tolkien's mode of the origin of Orcs. Corrupted from Elves. But Tolkein's Orcs and Goblins are the same thing... well, regional variation.

Sentinel Comics leaves it to the character building process whether the spiral is positive, negative, or absent for competence; it always has an increase in powers capability for further down the HP stack. the Health status stack is divided into Green, yellow, red, and out (0). The Health...

Note that that's true for the Commonwealth nations and the US, and some others; France and Germany both have far more extensive creator's rights.

To quote half a dozen professors at two different institutions I have attended: "One source is plagiarism. Three or more is research." A few have also said, "0 sources is ignorance." One said "No sources is fiction." (He was a practicing lawyer.) But even most fiction authors do research. And...

Pirates are a Mantis , Crab, & Crane issue.

Turn it loose, and you will be held...

Judging by parish rosters and attendance, the common folk have been more religious since the 17th C than the leadership. It is only in the 19th C that we see significant non-participation in faith activities by the common folk. Including secular authorities imposing restrictions such as...

If you're relying upon wikipedia, you have bigger priority issues. Go read the US copyright circulars, or even decent law offices FAQs on it... US Intellectual Property Law: Board Game Designers Guide II 17 U.S. Code § 102 - Subject matter of copyright: In general (cite as 17 USC §102(b) as...

No scale creator can create an unbiased scale. Risus substitutes the ocassional die roll for the say-yes of improv. Not significantly different in rules weight. Actually a bit less, when I compare to my notes from Theater class.

Find and read "A Merchant's Guide to Rokugan" - the title is a misleading one. It's about the Scorpion Clan's ninjas and their dark alliances... Oh, and edit to mention: Classic Traveller Book 9 was released this year. Book 9: Pirates (link to DTRPG.
