Me, I would probably be happy hustling in The Sprawl compared to the irl societal development. There you can at least dream about and strive for a better future. Here it’s currently only a question of what will kill us first.

This weekend I have Synners by Pat Cadigan as bed reading. Got it used like 20 years ago, and despite me being a cyberpunk aficionado I didn't touch it until now. It's good, comfy, old fashioned cp, and dated in a good way for the fan. Needed some comfort reading now, as next week I'll have to...

Seems like a desciption of my players party of Good adventurers in action 😂

Dex save to avoid getting hit, Con save each round to break the poison. Come on folks, it’s not that hard, just a common sense interpretation of bad rule text most of us have done hundreds or thousands of times.

Imho the more I automate Foundry in different systems, the more time per session can be spent on roleplaying and fun stuff instead of long tedious engagements with crunchy mechanics. That doesn’t mean I fill Foundry with animations and explosions - one can automate different things.

Was planning for DCC, but with the Savage Worlds Sci fi Companion finally coming to Foundry, my next campaign will put the players in space for a year or two.

I guess that's a matter of how much magic you have at your disposal, and if corporate law and ethical boundaries are set by a tyrannical lich emperor or a benevolent half-elf king. My players sure had fun developing their corpse re-finishing bulk sell business, "the freshest zombie material in...

My table usually have two recurring themes during campaigns, no matter what system or genre: Establish trade or business with the long-term goal of monopoly. Crush the oppressing government, no matter who or what kind of government exist, they manage to construct it as oppressive. I indulge...

Dying is treason!

I used to love reading massive purple prosey, fluffy rpg tomes with complex rules that took work to parse. But nowadays the reading rpg books for fun has lost its lustre. My goto game is Savage Worlds. Even though it's not totally stripped, its core and companions are pretty thin. Lists of...

I wish all rpg tomes came it two formats: one with art, lore, fluff and walls of text, and one in a strict tech manual format like Old School essentials. With that said, my current love-hate books are C7:s WFRP 4e. I love the art, lore and fluff, but the actual rules - which are unnecessary...

As an older perma-GM, I prefer long sandbox campaigns. This is a D&D thread, but I still want to say that I'm sad that a lot of newer games doesn't support that playstyle in practice, like a lot of Free League stuff. I might like the system, concept, worlds etc, but if it isn't long...

Oh la la!

I want a Rokoko supers game, with heroes in heel shoes, white stockings, powdered wigs and insane amounts of lace and rushe. Let the sun king of France be a perpetual evil, nemesis to heroes like madame Chat Blanc and monsieur Cygne Vindicatif.

I also only play via Foundry, and yes, WFRP4e is playable there with all the automation. Still, without knowing the rules and the basics of table contents etc, my players can't really make meaningful choices in game. In a lighter system, the players can learn and do a lot just by intuition and...

A revised and un-quirked WFRP 4.5e system would be ideal.

I'll keep my eyes open for what system C7 will use. WHFR4e is not only crunchy, which I can live with, but quirky and unnecessarily unintuitive in the wrong places. 2e would be ideal, but there's no VTT support for that.

In fantasy, I let my players decide if and when the question pops up. The world will still be populated by people with "defects", since hey class society. In Sci Fi it's only a matter of credits.

Not enough though for artists to have chosen only phallic motifs, or for us to remember it as The Empire of the Schlong.

Unless the physical society is extremelly infested with and dominated by phallic shapes, artists have a choice of motif. It’s possible I guess, but s far I haven’t seen Dick planet in Stars Without Numbers tables.
