    Monte Cook Games' Darkest House Is Designed For Online Play

    While this sounds like a great idea, the fact that MCG is the one doing it kills the concept for me. The fact is, I just no longer have trust in that company to give me a good product in return for my money. This isn't just griping from someone who can't afford Monte's games. This is from...

    Primogeniture help

    The unfortunate facts here are that... Succession Law was both a really big deal and incredibly complicated in RL history. This means that you can make up how it works as anything you want, and you could probably find some version of that from real history. Anyone who's played the Crusader...

Is the therapy you mention something that Cyberpunk Red added, or were there rules for it in older editions that I somehow missed or forgot...

    Cyberpunk Red (I didn't know it was out!)

    Cyberpunk's Humanity rules always struck me as strange. It felt like you were being sold on the idea of playing a cyborg by the game's elevator pitch and then punished for doing so. Would it be fun to play a Wizard in D&D if you slowly went insane and eventually became an NPC every time you got...

    What are you running right now?

    I'm currently a player in a Lancer game (Mech combat). For the first time in decades I'm not running anything (usually I'm the Forever GM). But I'm working on a conversion of the Modiphius 2d20 system to run a Star Wars game that I should begin running in a few weeks.
