Ack!!! I think they just captured this human's money, even though I am not fond of the d6 system.

Uh. Wow. I had not seen any of this up till is thread/trailer. I'm in!!!

one of the things that has really liberated my prep time is leading questions. in my profession (teaching/social work/counseling) those are often a no no. But for a GM they are perfect since they mostly require just a yes/no, and can then prompt the players into new directions with almost no...

In the Captains Log rule book they did just that. There are no d6s to the base system. I will use that version of the system for any ST games I run. Whilst the Captains Log rulebook is intended for Solo play, it does include advice for group play, and with a GM. I would not be surprised if they...

When I am in the zone GMing wise. I tend to prep in such a way that makes improv the focus. Lately I've just prepped a few scenes for the session. And then I just follow where the players go. I have a larger picture established, its called a throughline, and I know the ultimate goal of the...

In this issue you, dear comic book player, will get to know the master of mentalism: Brainwave. Through their own vast mental capabilities they have mastered the mathematics that make the world run. They've unlocked the world, and can now maniuplate it like a puppet master. In this issue...

@Thomas Shey Or, you know, you could be familiar with the material yourself, so your comments wouldn't be based on the comments of other people, faulty or not. And thereby be judged based on their own merits, and not shift the burden of your opinions onto others.

I play exclusively online, and so I have had A LOT of players. I have gone from writing essay length "here's what we do at the table" to "sink or swim". I finally settled on writing my game pitches like "looking for ads" in newpapers long ago. So I will write something like this in my initial...

you said it better than I could!

I have read it. Like most RPG books I find it boring. But Between the artwork, and the layout design, it was functional. The chapters are all rather short. I have not felt like it was hard to find anything that I did not understand. In fact in the back there is a glossary/index. Here you will...

I do not think it is an overly complicated system. I would say it is simplier to create characters than in 5e (just a reference point: here's another: it may take 10-20 minutes to create a Rank 1 character)

Some of my players and I have test run the game in prep for an upcoming campaign. My quick review: It doesn't bring much innovative to the table (or superhero rpgs) and I am fine with that. if you've played 5e you aren't going to notice much difference in the feel of play (in terms of...

Lord of the Rings (the One Ring iteration): I know the mythology well enough that I can just inhabit the world. Creating adventures and the tone are just comfortable! Superheroes: Same thing as LoTR. I am so steeped in the general mythology of supers its just like slipping into a comfortable...

I've used Roll20 from the beginning, and its worked great for what I need, but honestly since I rarely play games like 5e, or similiar games, its been easy to use. I remember wondering when they started if they would last long. Glad to see they have, and that they are finding ways to be more...
