Wait, they're upset that D&D youtubers talk about ... well, basically, D&D? (Sorry, couldn't resist ...)

Has anyone played their Zorro d6 game? I'm not that interested in the IP, so I skipped it, but I'm still curious about the new d6 version. I have some Star Wars nostalgia and still kind of feel that d6 is great for scifi.

I don't know the first edition, but I seem to remember having heard that they did mostly cleanup work - though a lot of it. Like making character generation balanced by default, re-doing all the core supplements like College of Magics. The gameplay itself probably hasn't changed significantly. I...

I'm reading Shadow, Sword & Spell at the moment and thought I'd just start a thread with some observations and questions (since I know @rogue_richard is active here). First: While I'm still not quite sure why it works with 2d12 insteab of 2d10, I like the core resolution mechanism. It is not...

I'm not that sure how gameable the new movies would be ... the first two original PotA movies are perfect for RPGs, as far as I am concerned. But the Whole XXX of the Planet of the Apes series - while I generally like it - doesn't present a lot in terms of a gameable setting; though I do not...

Is it based on the Deep Space system? EDIT: Never mind, it says right there in the product description that it is based on deep space :ROFLMAO:

I think the differences were also pointed out explicitly several times in the dialogue of the original movie; I'd have to re-watch it to be sure, but I think the Orang Utans were supposed to be the clerical ruling caste, the Gorillas were the grunts, and the chimps ... I don't know, everything...

Any news on that crowdfunding? Not trying to rush anyone, just wanting to make sure that I'm not missing it!

To point 1: Well, then maybe you're missing what roleplaying is about for many players. To point 2: You wouldn't explain "reality" to him, you would be telling him a lie. I can only hope that he doesn't believe the lie and finds a GM who cares more about fun for the whole group and less about...

I really like that kind of "gift economy" of role-playing. If you come up with something that seems to be a better fit for another character, just offer it to them!

While I'm inclined to chime in with pretty much all of the other responses, maybe there's a little caveat to be found here ... While I am very opposed to the notion that the GM should judge "good roleplay", I do enjoy players coming up with fun bits of roleplaying - not necessarily great...

Get well soon - and then maybe take some additional time to recover and read, if you can, it can't hurt! If you like horror, I can also highly recommend No Security by Caleb Stokes - a series of system-agnostic cosmic horror adventures set during the Great Depression (cosmic, but without any...

I'm not going to argue the semantics of what a "clone" is talking about RPGs, because some people will only talk of clones if the original rules are virtually unchanged, while others have a much broader definition ... It just seems that ZW either gets slammed for being too much like WHFRP2 or...

I'm feeling weird about keeping to defend ZW as als rules system, because I'm not really that invested in it and have already decided to not back the KS, but that sounds like it doesn't really make a lot of sense in context - either it is WH 2nd with the serial numbers filed off, or the changed...

Okay, just to make sure that we're talking about the same thing: I take roll-over to mean that you roll a die, add your score and modifier and try to reach a target number (as in SotDL or D&D5); while roll-under means that you roll a die and need to stay under your (ocassionally modified) score...
