Well, today 2023-08-25, the news came that there will be a new version of Mutant Chronicles. It will be made by a new company named Necromakina. For disclosure, I am not involved in the production of it but I am friends with the ones that are making it, and I offered to proofread it for them...

Just got my copy of the game today. I opted for the Swedish version during the kickstarter, and only got the basic box. I assume that the English version contains the same things. First impression: Like most other stuff from Free League it is gorgeous. Most of the art by Johan Egerkrans. He has...

Tried Pathfinder 2e yesterday (have played quite a lot more of 1e, and tons of other games since 1984), and was wondering about what I percieved as being overpowered encounters. Have now experience it in at least 2 different scenarios. One, which we tested yesterday (don't know the name of it...

Seems that they had a chessgame between ChatGPT and Stockfish (an actual chessbot). Let's just say that ChatGPT was "creative" in the interpretations of the rules...

The trailer for the upcoming short-film Lackadaisy looks very cool. The comic it is based upon is gorgeous and hillarious. Humanoid cats in a 1920s USA during prohibition. I want the full film now, and I want an rpg based upon it.

For those of you that like to make games of varying kinds, this might be of interest. The webpage techdirt.com has for a number of years gone through what stuff of films/books/music etc comes into public domain in the US at the beginning of every new year. I think 2019 was the first time...

Always fun with experimental recreations of history. Tod from Tod's Workshop had a crowdfunding-campaign to get more money to do experimental recreations of history. And to see how dangerous the archers were at the battle of Agincourt in 1415. He is joined by an archer, a fletcher, an...

A German version of The Troubleshooters is now being crowdfunded on Game On TableTop. So it seems to be a good game if you want to train langauges, as it previously came in English and French. ;) Forget Language-apps, get a rpg instead. ;) The Troubleshooters - Rollenspiel (Green Gorilla)

Well, now the first semi-final for Eurovision is on. I felt the entries this year was not that good. Here you can see all entries: Participants of Turin 2022 My favourite this year is France. Semi-final #2 is on Thursday the 12th, and the final on Saturday the 14th. This year 40 songs...

Time to brush up your language-skills, and grab your passport.. :cool: The author (Krister Sundelin) of the game The Troubleshooters, wrote on the kickstarter-page the 13rth of April 2022, that the French books now had been sent to the printers. His guess was that fulfillment of that would...

In the most anticipated rpg during 2021-thread, I noteds that my musings of various SF-properties migth be better suited for a separate thread so here it is. OK, the two big ones that everyone knows about are of course Star Trek and Star Wars. They both already have their own games, and are...

The Dune Rose is a Swedish indie-game originally named Ökenros, and is now translated into English. It is written by Wilhelm Person who has done a couple of other small games before, that are also availible in both Swedish and English, and it is illustrated by Ronja Melin (who really is an...

One thing that struck me yesterday, when my group made characters for the rpg Tianxia, is that the official character sheets often seem to be badly designed, with way too little space to write things. Tianxia, is a FATE-based game, as such you have your five aspects. Yes, there was room to...

Well, The Troubleshooters rpg from Helmgast is now in the upcoming queue on Kickstarter. Doesn't say when it will go live, but as far as I know it should be soon. Personally I can't wait till I have the game in my hands. Guess I better start working on more scenarios though... ;) Link

The following is the aftermath of something that happened in-game. It details the problems that supernatural events cause from the viewpoint of mortals. There might be more stories later. They will in that case not be made in chronological order. Edit for clarification: My character is...

Given that we here in Sweden will soon get the translated and localized version of Call of Cthulhu 7e (with lots of extra materials in the forms of adventures and so on), One question is how well does the material from one version work with stuff from other versions? Have only been a player in...

Found a somewhat irritating and in my opinion sub-optimal design of certain books regarding their format. In this case it is the setting-books for the John Carter rpg from Modiphius. The problem is that they are in a Landscape-mode, not the standard Portrait-mode. I did not think much of it...

I started the planning for a campaign in Daring Comics rpg well before the 2016 US presidential election, and some of the choices I made, unfortunately did not work out that well for different reasons, which I will explain later. The choices I made was the following: The characters would be...

Just gonna give you a heads up on a really cool game that a colleague of mine has made. A kickstarter will come soon. I have playtested it, and done a first proofreading. More proofreading will be done by native-speakers of English. We all love rpg's, and I hope that a lot of you guys like...
