Ugh, too true ... I once spent an entire session attempting to disbelieve a series of encounters.

Yikes. They are expensive already. I can't imagine having to pay double that.

Can someone confirm this isn't Nordic? If so, that is a bummer. I'm sure the material will be great but I may have been misled by the title. "Have you seen the campaign setting Apache Nations? It is set in mythic Africa."

Awesome. Thank you all. I really appreciate the input. I think to solution is going to be a mix of several suggestions. I promised to run this specific game, so part of the social contract is biting the bullet and running said game, regardless of clunky, 20 year old mechanics. Toning down the...

Well, there was the suitcase minigun in Snowcrash. But I think you might have the solution, Blll. Trade the assault rifle for a heavier SMG, make everything slightly more believable, and leave the insanely heavy weaponry to the cyberpsycho boosters.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply! The game's genre is cyberpunk, so whereas in D&D you'd have to work up to dropping a massive fireball, in the dark future you are simply shopping. You didn't go on a quest for that assault rifle, you bought it from a pawn shop or of out of the back...

Hey all, looking for some expert GMing advice, regardless of system. I'm running a one-shot at a con, so it is a given that some of the players won't have a high degree of system mastery. Reviewing the game rules, I'm seeing that some of the weapon damages require rolling a ton of dice (7d6+3...

They run into someone else trying to steal the same MacGuffin, but for different goals. And she is cute. And an hour ago, the party paladin swore to defend her honor at the masquerade ball going on downstairs.

100% awesome. This thing is firing on all cylinders.

Yeah, there's a stealth cleric operating out of the Keep. Easy to get lost in the mix, though.

Capitalism tells me they were worth a total of $6 at the time.

You would need to fudge the timeline a little (or maybe no one would even notice) but you could have him be an assistant to Tesla, caught in an experiment gone awry. Plagued by powers he doesn't understand, he flees to the frontier. Ala: File:Tesla colorado adjusted.jpg - Wikipedia, the free...

Wait ... so the answer is, "Yes, but in D&D's absence something else might have come up with D&D-esque elements"? How do you argue against that? By your reasoning Einstein, Ford, Pasteur, Newton ... none of them count for squat because, eventually, someone else could have figured it out. (Lol...

I would submit that D&D played a vital link in the chain of events resulting in an Austrian winning the election for governor of California.

I always thought he was farming us for XP. We give better drops at higher levels.

I'm intrigued enough that I'm going to try a Dark Heresy weekend using DitV rules. Any advice/thoughts on 40k Vineyard?

Sold! Thank you. Well, if you want to be smart about it, sure .... Thank you, guys!

Awesome. Thanks for the pointers. I must have played cyberpunk (R. Tal) for about 10 years through and out of highschool, but they were largely player directed games. ("Okay, we've finished your life path, now what do you want to do.") Now my players are looking for something a little more...

I don't care for what system. Can anyone recommend a few amazing cyberpunk adventures? (For pay or for free.) Most of what I've found on the web are a little ... off. It's almost to the point that I'm considering adapting Grey Mouser/Ffhard stories for the urban noir.

This. A divergent evolution.
