I think my copy arrived today - but I’m on travel so haven‘t been able to open the box 😢

I see a lot of posts on EnWorld that lead me to believe that the poster probably has similar gaming philosophies as myself or just be entertaining to be at the table with, but my memory for names is so bad - particularly if I have no faces to mentally associate with them - that I would not be...

The only one I know of: Join the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time & Space Discord Server!

who says they aren’t? Traveller is basically a game about spacers living out their retirement. 😛

There was an rpg based on Dream Park, a book co-written by Steven Barnes.

I have Blue Rose, and it does capture a lot of flavor - but I‘m greedy, I want the specific IP.

I’ve always thought the world of Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar novels would make a good rpg setting.

Best Fantasy Hero campaign I ever did started by combining Mythic Greece and Mythic Egypt.

Who remembers Amazing Engine?

I thought I was the only one...

I've never played EABA, but I've been reading recently (along with the EABA version of TimeLords). It's a neat little system (although dice pool system aren't usually my thing).

I’m pretty much well off of that fence at this point - mostly because I don’t really consider PbtA to be a “system”. I view it more as a design philosophy

I like Hero System a lot, and used it for many games over the past few decades. With the right group of people, the various iterations of Fate can be cool - but the entire group needs to buy into the basic conceits of the system. I wanted to like Savage Worlds a lot more than I did. GURPS never...
