    Kickstarter BURN 2d6 is LIVE

    There are so many zines and supplements Kickstarting this month that it would break almost any household budget! However, if you love indie games and have not seen a new system come along in a while and you already have as many Mork Borg and/or Mothership variants as you can handle then back...

    Rules as Law vs. Rules as Guidelines

    Rules v. Rulings is the age old RPG battle. It all comes down to can a player do something they want to do withing the rules and how to we arbitrate success. I prefer systems that leave flexibility and do not detail the rules on trip hazards and cooking injuries... that is too granular for me...

    Your thoughts on Generic versus Bespoke systems.

    Interesting discussion. As folks have explored here, it is a preference thing. I do like how Modiphius tweaks its 2d20 system for different bespoke settings, like Dune or John Carter of Mars. Now that they have an SRD, it can used for a generic application. I took a lot of inspiration from both...

    Kickstarter BURN 2d6 - Rules lite RPG Pre-Launch on Kickstarter

    In playing it with folks, range was questioned, and so ranges were added into the rules. You just get one +1d6 difficulty, two stats BURNed and that's is it for your PC. Two BURNed stats seems to be the right number before a PC is incapacitated. In play tests, the element of danger remains...

    Kickstarter BURN 2d6 - Rules lite RPG Pre-Launch on Kickstarter

    Moving along in pre-launch followers, hit 92 and still pushing for 100. So why should anyone pledge? The game system that I designed and have playtested, and has been playtested by others, seems to have struck on a concordance of game mechanics that just work from action rolls, to they way...

    The importance to RPGing of *engaging* situations

    I think a lot of engaging play depends on the how the table is set. Is a game runner open to hearing any kind of proposed action/interaction and making it work within the ruleset? This is the old debate of rules v. rulings. Does your game system have a rule for everything from successfully...

    I need a soundtrack for a dungeon-crawling adventure with the vibe of a cheesy 1980s fantasy movie

    Pirate Borg -- any of you scurvy dogs have it?

    Well, the dark age of piracy I'd say. It is a dark alt history Caribbean. It is lighter than Mork Borg. And, I think it is great!

    Kickstarter BURN 2d6 - Rules lite RPG Pre-Launch on Kickstarter

    Well, I was able to get a friend of a friend to put this video together for me to support my Kickstarter. And, just wanted to say that I also received some feedback from a person who ran BURN 2d6 at a con in the UK... they said it was unbelievably good. So, why? The game mechanics work together...

    Pirate Borg -- any of you scurvy dogs have it?

    The darkness of Mork Borg is not for everyone, and it is the same for Pirate Borg. You do you. However, this is a gorgeous book that was obviously a labor of love. I backed it, received it a couple of weeks ago, and thoroughly enjoyed reading through it and gawking at the art and layout. It now...
