Yeah, I’m aware of the Savage Worlds settings, but I consider that system more “rules-medium” . Have to check out the other ones you mentioned

Doh! You’re right. Updated my original post. I do remember it embracing what it called “splatter-punk” style, reflecting a lot of the horror literature and movies of the late 80’s, especially of the urban ilk. That includes the style of video box covers, which the game cover reflects as a...

Yeah, sort of falls into the "Build Your Own" like the suggestions for Savage Worlds or GURPS. Is there a "rules-lite" toolkit game like that? Nothing comes to mind.

I’ve played every edition of CHILL, including a playtest version of 3rd edition that never saw the light of day due to licensing issues (and the published version which unfortunately ran into some creator reputation issues) There was Nightlife, a game that came out almost the same time as the...

Frontier Scum is decidedly not in the realm of Western cinema the OP is referring to. It is an interesting game, though, as a self-described “Acid Western”. More like a Wild West game dropped into a degenerate Yellow Submarine or a Mœbius comic strip. Much heavier on the surreal than say, 3:10...

Dragonbane GM here. I definitely try to discourage “I just make a roll” mentality by asking players to describe what they’re doing, not just asking to make a roll. Searching a room, tell me what parts, what furniture, what sections of the wall. Only one person at a time can search a given...

I think the main question is… squished, and then what? 2d6 damage isn’t likely to kill most characters

For a successful roll, I’d allow the target to choose… ride the pillar up or step to the side just in time. Or randomly roll to see which situation they end up in. In some cases it might be advantageous to be up higher out of reach. Once the pillar is in place, they can get down with an...

I have DungeonDraft but alas, haven’t messed around with it much. The same assets can be used as tiles in Foundry, and I do use them there a fair amount.

This one is too, both for February Zine month on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arcanescrollworks4/tales-from-the-locker-1

Subscribing at lower tiers you still get great static maps you can use in any VTT, including in Foundry to build your own scenes. Tons of other resources too. I often use Limithron’s Assets pack in other rpg worlds in Foundry to dress up maps.

I’m a Patreon member for Luke’s Pirate Borg content. At the highest level you get tons of Foundry scenes ready made. Only need to sign up for a month to get all of the existing content, including all kinds of ship deck plans

For those who backed the Book of Magic KS, what are your thoughts on the nerf to the Protector spell? Especially the part where the spell ends if the recipient moves…

Yeah, I keep refreshing my DTRPG account page to see if the file has shown up yet! The KS email about it went out at noon CST, EOD Swedish time, and said "if you don't see it in 24 hours..." so it might be sometime tomorrow, I guess. Ask me about my acronym problem...

There was also the parallel development of Nightlife and VtM, the former releasing just a few months before the latter, but never found the same audience. Possibly due to differences in distribution and production values.
