Thank you😊 @Fenris-77 @hawkeyefan @prabe

Actually I hit post in error on this when I meant to change a quote and apparenly I can't delete. So I'm editing this and in a timey wimey warping of the space time continuum going to resond to the post posted after this. I agree that if players want to resign from Star Fleet and go their own...

It's funny. Until joining forums like this I hadn't really thought about these things (in this way at least) or really been aware of the debates but coming of role playing age in the late 80s/early 90s if you asked me what a GM does I would instinctively descibe something similar to the...

Update us when you've decided your next steps you've obviously put loads of effort in so I hope you get it out for people to play it. I'm always idly thinking of ideas for new systems or mechanics or games but I never get past the stage of manic scribbles and half thought out ideas in notebooks...

I wouldn't get my hopes up too quickly about Science Fiction abandoning one species = one culture when it still can't leave behind one planet = one climate.

I like it. It pushes combat into more of it being AN option not the option (a bit anyway). I also like the idea that enemies retreat and surrender instead of fighting to the last like fantasy terminators. Can you think of a way to reduce the moral role to a side of combat instead of individuals...

Yeah, what he said. I'm always interested in new games and different systems/ideas how to do things but it's hard to respond with so little info. The best thing to do is get it out there so people can see it and you can get feedback. I would like to know how the 3D10s work though, seeing how...

To see if @Aldarc has a point. I think that a thread about language used to discribe how we play, use, critique rpgs has often been reduced to discussing individual style issues such as the use of rainbows and vacationing and their effects on players fun says a lot about the underlying...

I treat them differently, I put the word "Space" in front of the sci-fi kind.

I prefer; This is my TTRPG. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Way back when I was DMing my first group with a 2e AD&D campaign, I went on a school trip to Germany so one of our group asked if he could DM the week I was gone. "Sure" said I. What I didn't realise was he would take the crude map I'd drawn of the valley they were adventuring in, give each...

I'm not saying it can't be done but the advantage of the roguelike definition is there was a single original game that the genre (and definition) is based on. The equivalent would be if we looked to OG D&D only for defining points, but the reason OSR exists is most modern games have moved away...

Basic and Expert box sets then 2e AD&D before being seduced by the new sexy excitement of the World of Darkness ( l still like Mage and Changeling settings but the "ooh I'm a Vampire feel my pain" appeal has waned since my teenage years.) I was in a heavily modded Nadia: secret of blue water...

Cool! glad it helped.

Does the character has a specific area or theories they are researching? Do they have rivals either in a race to discover "the truth" or opponents with a rival theory. Scholars usually had patrons for financial support and these often tied in to the rich therefore powerful patron's political...
