    What gets me playing Draw Steel and not Pathfinder 2e?

    This is 100% our same experience when we played last night ^ It felt minis skirmish game style, reminded me of Necromunda plus the addition of minions rules. Not a deadly game. I suppose characters can die, but there are tons to options to keep that from happening from just a few bad...

    Post Apocalypse Settings

    You know, this kinda seems like it would be fun to have a community wiki of "enter your town as a wasteland post apoc" thing. Where we enter in as a base setting that fits Mad Max (since its no magic, no mutants, and its real world), and that could be a springboard for folks who later would...

    RuneQuest and Glorantha ideas

    For everyone who plays RuneQuest in any BRP version (i think that is RQ2, RQ3, and RQG?) = how often do you run or play in those games? Do you play any other BRP style games? Warhammer fantasy? Call of Cthulhu? Other?

    Post Apocalypse Settings

    This is pretty much the vide I am going for as well. On occasion we can dip into the body horror of mutation or the madness of gaining a power, but honestly, Mad Max was such a rip riot of fun, and our few sessions of Apocalypse Word led us to want more and more. Turns out we can have fun with...

    Post Apocalypse Settings

    Is this a setting? I always though the without number books were more chart-generation stuff? (which... is actually fine and useful here, i was just hoping to see what full featured settings were out there)

    Post Apocalypse Settings

    I thought gamma world was mostly fantasy? is twilight 2000 post apoc? I thought it was during ww3 or something?

    Post Apocalypse Settings

    What RPGs have a rather detailed and developed post apocalyptic setting based on our real world or a similar version to our world? And that the setting had at least 1930's or new technology.... Looking for a full setting book(s) with things like cities, NPCs, local history, lore, maybe even...

    Which "Tactical" TTRPG Would Work Best As An X-Com Like?

    Lancer (link) Why it works better than any of the others for X-Com = - It is combat that is resolved ONLY via turn-based, hex-grid combat. - Terrain, LoS, status effects, range, AoE, facing - all matter a LOT. - It has a tier rank up system - It is a nuanced package upgrade system. You...

    What gets me playing Draw Steel and not Pathfinder 2e?

    I don't think we can put enough emphasis on what this poster said... Like real life real play folks - 5 players at the table for PF typically means 20 to 30 to wait until you get to go again... And that's a pretty swift group! I think there is soooooo much fun and time lost in systems that a...

    Friday Chat: What Mechanics Do You Steal From A Game To Use In Another?

    We thought this same thing too! But here is why we went with this rule and it was better = It results in the same. Roll 5 times, and eventually they do it roll 6 times, and they did it but you had to offer concessions, or do favors etc. Roll 7 times, and it fails and they are not going to...

    Friday Chat: What Mechanics Do You Steal From A Game To Use In Another?

    Blades in the Dark does things like this. You set up a Clock with 4, 6, or 8 segments. Then each time the players do a thing to set-back the enemy's overall plans, add a tick to the clock. If the enemy completes their plans before the clock is full, the plans go off as intended by...
