    Kickstarter: GURPS Mission X

    Nice. I’ll be looking forward to that release. There’s a couple upcoming GURPS releases there I’ll be snagging.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    My only experience running Shadowdark was 12 sessions of Arden Vul. I had a really good time with it, as did my group. The moment they started looting torches instead of actual items was golden for me.

    Kickstarter: GURPS Mission X

    It’s out. GURPS Skill Trees. It’s a good book about reconfiguring the skill system through a skill tree approach. It there’s also some Information about reducing the number of skills without resorting to the Bang! Skills solution.

    What Is Your Go-To Pick-Up TTRPG?

    Another vote for SWADE. Teachable in ten minutes, tons of options, lots of short one page adventures.

    What do you do when a Player dies?

    I lost a player last year in October. Two year cancer battle. It just sucks. We immediately canned the campaign and took a coupe of weeks off. Savage Worlds was his favorite game and one of my favorite games to run. I hadn’t been able to touch in 8 months or so. Every time I thought...

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I've been trying to settle on a campaign setting for a couple of years. I picked up Midgard this evening to give it a read.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    The last models abd resin add-on bits I for my nascent Blood Angels 40k army. Robin Williams was right. Cocaine is a cheaper habit. It’s going to look good when it’s done but it’s been twice as expensive as I was initially planning.

    Non-fantasy RPG suggestions?

    You might try something like the GURPS Action! line. It’s designed to emulate 80’s action movies. Core GURPS would also work just fine for this.

    GMs: When Is Enough Enough?

    The 6 session minimum kind of happened by accident. I’m the forever DM of the group and was going through a phase where I wanted to try a bunch of different stuff. My players got frustrated. When I asked the minimum number games should be per game they all said 6. So that’s what we go with...

    GMs: When Is Enough Enough?

    We have a 6 session minimum rule for games. One shots aside we can typically tell within 6 session whether a game is going to work, needs house rules for us, or if we need to bail. It also gives my players time with their characters. We might have to house rule something if we find it...

    Deadlands Weird West Blood Drive Session 1: He choked the horse out?
  15. thullgrim

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Deadlands & Blood Drive VTT modules. I’m starting a Blood Drive campaign Wednesday night. The Savage Worlds Foundry implementation is good adding the Blood Drive and Deadlands core modules is going to make my prep-life easier.
