Thursday short semisession for the Sunday L5R: Report written… Scorpion gonna Scorpion!

I find myself tempted to to SR 1e setting with Savage Worlds...

A teleporting NPC in Traveller with a PSR 15 but ONLY Clairavoyance, teleportation and LR teleportation. He can show up on a ship in jump even. Other than that, he's Pilot 2, Brawling 1, Pistols 1, Engineering 2. I usually faked him to CCCAA6 for Atts. He started as a PC... ruleset was...

If they're contributing nothing, that's a failure on the GM and players' part. NARRATE THE «BLEEP» OUT OF THOSE MISSES!!! Every attack, success or failure, should have some narrative effect. That's as true in SavW as it is in FFG Star Wars, D&D 5e, and Og! Unearthed. As for fast... it only...

BiTD and the other FITD games are narrow action type engines that are easily reskinned for similar activities in a variety of settings, on purpose. Focus on what makes it sing, and include only enough setting to encourage creativity — much like AW and the AWE/PBTA spectrum. And the FATE spectrum.

I think I only had one of those adventuring days since 1990... and that was using 3.x And that only because they split the party... and it was an almost TPK. Large party (9p) and the cleric of Benekander (the ONLY cleric of Benekander - we switched to 3.0 when they threw the switch on the...

FITD is derivative from AW... Which was pretty much intended to be a "rework these rules into other settings" by D V Baker at the outset. It wasn't quite open licensed initially, per se, but Baker is proud of the wide range of games using AWE and its close derivatives (FITD, Ironsworn) and even...

It was pretty straghtforward. It was expensive to get into, tho' as the dice needed (6 full sets) cost as much as the player's guide. The numbers of dice are the only reason it got almost no table time from me; otherwise, it was pretty straightforward. Savage Worlds Deluxe + Deadlands Reloaded...

You've misplaced Savage Worlds. It started out as a simplification of Deadlands into a minis game (Great Rail Wars), then was turned into the RPG.

as did 1978 RuneQuest and Starships & Spacemen.

I knew there was a reason I didn't include Mystara - yeah, the Republic of Darrokin is fully renaissance save guns, and has presses in canon.

Sun L5R Solved murder; goblins did it.

Game: any of a dozen or so games; D&D is never one of them. Breakdown: only one element stable: ≤2% off topic. Preferably less than 2/3 combat and more than 1/3 conflicts (including combats). I like the minigame aspects of certaing games conflict systems. The pizza may or may not be present...

My read of both FR and GH, and my homebrewed worlds for D&D, there are monster bestiaries, including draconomicon, there are books covering the various realms and planes, and upon the underdark... but they're all copied by hand or by autoquill, not by printing press, and cost a small fortune...

you've just offloaded that choice to the devs; the same core mechanic is used in half a dozen games. There are several dozen preconfigured FATE games where you don't have to make the choice, but they're the same mechanics as FATE Core. It's the question of Adapted Core vs Core+Splats... and...
