Yeah! Please, run as you like. :D Plus, depending on how long you want to run, different options and setups can make total sense. :) I have run 2 full Trilogy films in this rule set, that is gaming 4 hours a week, every week for 2 years. So we have a LOT of hours into this and I am happy...

I would like to see more PBTA games go the direction of Pasion de las Pasiones. Here is my 7th Sea hack of it, (link, its free) simply to demonstrate how the system works very very well in other genres and game styles. Basically, it comes down to this = - the [tags] system of CoM, and LitM...

I did not like Burned Over, it made changes that took away from the game. Kinda how Deep Cuts was really not fun for us for Blades in the Dark.... But we play AW regular and BitD regular lots lots, so we love these games. There are issues with AW, and we do have to ignore like 80% of the...

Because you are making a false dichotomy of minutia. "I roll to pick the lock" = where does the point of failure interrupt? the pick breaking? the lock opening a bit then jamming? taking too long to pick and getting caught? I can think of more... .."You tried to pick the lock and...

Conan is far from low fantasy by its spell effects. While the setting its self has no elves or flying dragons, those are easy to put in. The magic rules on the other hand, are in many ways far more powerful and far more magic than even D&D. There are spells to essentially split the earth...

Yeah, the crunch is a bit different for them all, but not as much as it may seem once you are very familiar with how Momentum works. So here are my recommendations = - Start with Fallout The reason why is that most players will be to some degree familiar or very familiar with the setting...

Sooooooo I want to comment on the last bit of the video = Monte talking about "we will offer clearer types. You want a barbarian here is a baked up barbarian ready to go." I have been thinking this for ages, and honestly = yeah, people still like and crave and find great use in 'typed...

Not to give you a hard time, but....... Fairly certain I have posted this to you at least once, if not several times. :) But just in case = C.A.T.S. Use this and make agreements during Session 0 Concept This is the main concept of the game and the type of overall plots everyone wants to...

Yeah, its part person, and part medications. So that's a whole other thing. (and not limited to a single person either...) I will be honest, for decades I had not really "seen" it before... until I did. Just like with bad systems that players willfully gloss over, I finally noticed that...

Yes. Here are a few examples = X-Card = . "You are limiting my fun". Player A wanted to make some bad choice that would get them into trouble or even dead. By and large, this choice would not affect other player characters, or it would but only in a tangential way. Player B cast a spell...

Instead of taxing a player's XP = we got rid of ALL XP spends except for Advancement. For re-rolls we did "Devil's Bargain" which I feel is much better than a XP spend to hope you roll better. This was so much better than a re-roll for us. It was what the GM wanted "some added drama or...

On one hand sure, its fine to just stick to what we like. But you seem to have missed the point of my point you quoted = personal attacks are a problem and pathetic. I assume and state nothing about others engagement with a game, and he should too. And no, I disagree. There needs to be a...

Oh, no no no. We are not done with Daggerheart yet. And we have not played a full campaign of Cosmere yet. Lots more play to come! :D I don't want to get into Daggerheart discussion in this thread (it was only intended as a perspective comment earlier, and too many people are...

It's a long list... But her are my to favs. Some of which are "in the rotation" regularly... - Pendragon (current new edition): this game has simple rules, characterful characters, and a very well utilized Trait and Passion system that let me feel like my character has different opinions...
