Awesome conversation and info, folks! I appreciate the posts thus far.

I'm currently playing in a Star Trek Adventures game online via Start Playing. I'm enjoying it but we just got started, so... I own several games (Infinity, John Carter of Mars, Star Trek 1 & 2) and I'm evaluating it for a setting I'm writing thinking of publishing on the Content Creator...

DItto. I think this game would fit 2d20 really well. Also, the books Modiphius has made for other franchises are gorgeous! I would be curious to learn more about your experience. I'm currently playing in a Star Trek Adventures game, and I own a couple of older games in the system. Perhaps I...

Please post your Patreon/Kofi/GitHub or other links so I can buy you both a cup of coffee. I feel like I actually grok this game after trying to get into it for years. I bought stuff and read it, and got lost. Thank you! When you stop in Seattle on your comedy tour, I would like to show up...

I played a little MERP when I was a young lad. Don't remember much. Read some books before, but never played. I don't really have comparisons. I have run GURPS 4e for many years, as well as HERO 6e. I hardly consider RMU to be anywhere near that crunch. Frankly, the hardest math is in the...

I have recently become enamored with Rolemaster Universal (RMU). I would choose that with a homebrew setting and campaign.

My interjection; If I use the term "modern" to describe my game, and you want to buy it? My game is modern. It's "innovative" and "delightful". If I use the term "modern" to describe my game, and you don't want to buy it? I retract my statement. My game isn't modern. It's "classic". Like a...

For the sake of this discussion, there is a new version of BL23 and a SWADE version released last year, IIRC.

(queue up Bernie Sanders on the lawn chair meme...) Once again, I'm here to talk to you about 1-second combat rounds. 1) In all the GURPS games I've run, I've focused on frenetic combat and kept a brisk pace. I see combat as chaos. Keep things moving so people don't get distracted. The...

Yes. Any longer. I started playing in 1981. I was post AD&D pre 2e basic Moldvay Red Box. In my circles, people used to wax poetic about authenticity to the ugly peculiarities of the medieval personage. If you hang out in any OSR spaces, I still believe there is a crowd looking for this...

If you look at popular settings in today's hobby, I'm confident players are not looking for the "dark ages reenactment of historical accuracy" any longer. I believe FR was still rooted in the Tolkien medieval fantasy aesthetic when it was created. Today, people want high fantasy, "this is...

You don't need to spend a round just to talk. It is suggested you limit the length in "realistic" games. It has never come up at my table. I just let people scream at each other during the frenzy. You don't need to remain in 1-seond rounds for a whole combat. The rules provide advice on how you...

I like a little crunch myself. :) I have backed many Kickstarter projects from Green Ronin and bought directly from the online store (and directly from Chris Pramas at local cons), and all my transactions have been fantastic. Not sure where the idea that GR are "grifters" came from, but my...

In GURPS, 200 hours = one skill point. That seems like a pretty good measuring stick to me. Of course, for cinematic adventures, I doubt we would care. :-)
