That Cortex Prime is a toolbox does, unfortunately, mean it has a high bar to entry. Having to build your RPG system from the kit of parts before you can start playing is not only a bunch of work, but a chicken and egg kind of situation: if you've never played how are you supposed to know...

I can't say I've never houseruled early -- mostly in my youth -- but generally even if I scrunch my nose reading something in a book I will give it a whirl for at least a few sessions to see how it runs at the table and to see if my initial takes/concerns hold and whether the thing does indeed...

Failed rolls induce daring rescue.

I've always got to give a thumbs up for covers featuring centaurs! :)

Hmm, wonder if Heavy Gear by DP9 would have a place on this list, for it's graphic layout, styling, and artwork. At a time when "two column with an image here or there" was the norm, it came out of the gate with not only a plethora of art but also with strong graphic design where every element...

Aye, that was clear to me that's where your question was leading and also what your previous responses in this thread was indicating. All of which is your (and Lanefan's) prerogative, of course. :)

Five hours pass... nothing happens. (Just kidding! The above came about as a joke during the game... :D) Rescuing sheep from Ettins. Heroes!

Hahaha... Well, I think it's only protected under the circle of trademark vs the veil of copyright, so as long as it isn't on your cover you might be fine to open that summoning circle... ;)

Interesting idea! Just as long as it doesn't harm any lynxes in those boreal forests. ;)

I think I did... there were a number of their surveys/playtest surveys I responded to during that time (due to the 2024 playtest packets) and so I likely did that one too. :) Yeah, it's hard sometimes to know what the design parameters of the surveys are, or how to interpret the questions...

This is what I love about the RPG space: so many games for so many genres and play environments. I dove into this thread being in the dark of this particular kind and now I've learned there's a school of submarining RPGs swimming around. Now I want to take a gander at Blue Planet to see what...

I've run adventures that take place in submarines (both functioning and wrecks), but I don't know of any RPG specifically geared to ongoing submarine operations. :)

I said yes, but in all the SW games we've run across the years I think it's only been once in my current campaign (Dawn of Defiance) where the characters are directly working for Senator Organa. (For which he's not a really obscure figure, but he's also not one of the prime characters, so...

I've been playing AD&D for 36+ years, starting with 1e. Cut my teeth on the classic modules. I've played consistently the entire time. Do not feel left out nor like I don't fit in.

Here's a few of the things that bounce around in my mind when I muse on the impacts of these new generative models: a) Though movies didn't fully take out theatre, and TV didn't fully take out movies, or how photography didn't fully take out painting, and etc, neither will generative models...
