    And then what? The AI conundrum.

    1) The kickoff to the series Skynet started to make cyborgs. The human theory is that these were made so Skynet could send in spies. Maybe the real Skynet long term goal was to create something that could be Skynet and live in a human society as they could pass for human. In time these...

    Dark Heresy: running a campaign without money

    For some reason this question is stuck in my head. As I am sitting here eating lunch I recalled someone made a crpg for Rogue Trader. On the thought someone might of made a wiki with prices somewhere I did some searches. The crpg trail was a bust, but I did stumble across a DH wiki that...

    Dark Heresy: running a campaign without money

    In Rogue Trader 2E they have a similar abstraction system. One player I had really doesn't like those types of systems vs. more details accounting of knowing the coins something is worth from a static price list. If that is the case for your table maybe just grab your favorite scifi rpg and...

    RPG Print News – Mongoose Publishing, Arc Dream Publishing, and More

    The default setting is in something loosely based on Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborean Cycle stories, with a number of other pulp writers of the same era having some of their tales show up, including Howard's Conan. It is a far future science fantasy setting. The sun in a giant red sun. You...

    Are there any Alien Invasion RPGs/Settings

    GURPS "War Against the Chtorr" based on the books by David Gerrold. This is as close as I can think of in the inspiration show list you had. As you noted that "active war vs. modernish humans" genre of Alien Invasion is not that common in ttrpgs. I wonder if you might find inspiration with...

    Dragonbane Post-Mortem

    Cards is not what I was expecting you to say. Sadly that makes Dragonbane a pass for me. Despite my enjoyment of Savage Worlds, the card based initiative broke down as the table I play at is pretty big and passing the cards around was a pain. Pushed me to pick up SotDL and I never looked...

    Dragonbane Post-Mortem

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I am somewhat aware of the game, but only a bit. I am somewhat curious in a few rules. What is the initiative system like? What did you as the one running the game most enjoy? As for the other side discussion about replacements while I am a fan of...

    Do you need or prefer physical dice when playing?

    Where is the option for the punch out chits? I have these plastic tiki cups from Bob Chin's to draw them from. I do have a few physical dice that I generally use when in public. Chits are for good friends.

    Hyperborea — Thoughts?

    I picked up the 3rd Edition after reading about it during Thanksgiving. Been playing in a game in it for a few months now. It reminds me a lot of my early D&D game play. The rules themselves are like a house ruled version somewhere between Basic D&D and AD&D 1st imo. Overall I enjoy it a lot...

    Running adventures in systems that they were not designed for.

    Ran War of the Burning Sky in Accursed (Savage Worlds). That was a lot of fun and not as big of a change as I expected. The oddest mix I did is nearly 2/3 of the way through the Age of Worms campaign in 3.5 I had to bring it to an early end due to some real life demands that needed...

    Good Modern Systems

    Give EABA v2 a look. Forum has some example of how others have used it for T2000 and other modern settings. https://www.btrc.net/eabav2-119/eabav2core Drivethru has a 6 minute video with a quick overview on EABA. Likely enough to give you a gut feel for the system and if it is worth your time...

    I need a good non-D&D fantasy campaign

    DCC Castle Whiterock is a megadungeon option. I suspect it could work well with the Hackmaster 5e system w/o too much fuss. My own preferences tend to shy away from running megadungeons like that, though I do enjoy reading them for ideas. For my own table I am preparing to try out some of...

    Campaigns that don't get the love they deserve

    I rarely play campaigns as is. Tend to setup sandboxes and see where the players go. That said, I read several and borrow from them quite a bit. Typically use a rule system other than what they were written in due to personal preferences. Here are ones I've used a bunch of content from...

    Sketch of Generic Power Rules for Blades in the Dark

    You might find some inspiration in the Tales From Mauxferry Season 1 Session 0. They use the BitD system, but base it in a D&D campaign world they have played for a long while.
