This would be akin to using a tow truck to tow around another tow truck. You're riding for a bunch of different reasons. Horses can move further in a day than people on foot. They travel faster, and can keep at it for longer. That doesn't mean however that the people riding or driving...

My very first CoC character had been a priest who started off by using his faith as a bastion against the things he was battling, eventually (and maybe a little blasphemously) revising said beliefs to incorporate the new horrible things he had learned, and in the end revising his beliefs to the...

There's no answer on the poll for me. I tend to only buy a new edition of a game that I already have if I'm currently running or planning to run a game.

"Program" moves > characters take their actions > movement happens, modified by character actions

One of the things I really enjoyed about Thousand Year Old Vampire is the mechanic where, as your vampire ages, you have to decide which memories to hold onto and which ones to erase so that you can make room for new experiences. You could swipe that idea and have him not even remember himself...

This really boils down entirely to the system, what the system is trying to do, and what kinds of stories you're trying to tell with it. I remember a flurry or "realistic" rpgs in the early 90s that had you track separate armor hit points (as well as separate body location hit point totals ala...

(sorry for the slight tangent) @Morrus what kinds of new account numbers do polls like this generate for the site? Any guesses as to what things we can be doing to aid in retention?

I'm kinda surprised that I haven't run into any of these podcasts before. Gonna have to do a little bit o research and charge up my bluetooth headphones.

#1 "Night of the fool moon" tickles me pink. #2 What system is this in? It'll help narrow down which tools you have available to you

I'm also a huge fan of Blades in the Dark's Duskvol. The setting is a post apocalyptic world which has been magically severed from the afterlife and has been set adrift somewhere between sunless dimensions. It's a haunted, Victorian, industrial era Venice, where iron clad whaling ships hunt...

Check out Band of Blades. It isn't the world of the Black Company, but it is HEAVILY inspired by it.

Sounds like a job for Jasmin!

If this were a Western, the big bad rail company/oil baron would divert and dam up the river, or poison the town's livestock.

Bizarre coincidence: going though boxes of my mom's old files and just found a stack of paperclipped photocopies, mimeographs, and newspaper clippings from 79/80 along with a note from some PTA friend warning about satanic cults.

(the satanic panic is an offshoot of the world's recurring obsession with imagined sexual predation by otherworldly and often demonic forces, it's not just about role playing games)

Just found out that Jeff Ibach, @DM_Jeff passed away this past Sunday. Jeff did freelance writing for a handful of different companies and ran my sister and bother-in-law's main D&D games for the last dozen or so years. I didn't know him well, but I had the pleasure of sitting in on a fair...

Check out the Satanic Panic psyops the British army was running in Belfast during The Troubles. Also Sabine McNeill's all too recent accusations that a London primary school was ritually murdering children and cooking their bodies in a McDonalds in an attempt to summon demons. This isn't just...

Oddly enough, my parents' fears weren't targeted at the cartoon (no more than any other cartoon we watched) or even really at the game. Their fear was that Satanists were using the game to meet children, and my my friends and I might somehow accidentally run into some and get kidnapped and...

... Did I see you at Black Forge Coffee up in the slopes like 4 or 5 years ago?

I realized that I never announced the final release, version number is v1.4.4141. At this point, the only thing it needs is to be put through the paces a bit. The only weak point I SEE is tweaking of the dramatic pauses as the tower gets closer to falling. Please let me know if you poke...
