I understand your point of view. I also happen to agree with points raised by @talien. In my work, when I need to deal with conflicting ideas, my preferred approach is to seek a draft, then to publish the version that is acceptable by most interested parties, and then we add supplementary...

At the heart of the issue, we have several people who claim that an article is missing a section on negative impact of colonialism on indigenous people. At the same time, the article is a fine piece of work. Requesting that the author puts more work is quite unfair. Especially since it could...

You're definitely not a bad person. All I'm asking is that you write a piece, a short section that would meet your expectations, and then request adding it to the original article. NOTE: I have no ties to ENWorld. This is just a proposal.

In that case, do consider writing such section, and request inclusion in the original article. The amount of effort you've already committed to this thread, plus your decent writing skills, prove that you should be up to the task. By the way, your caps lock seems to be failing.

For some reason I have got this nifty adventure idea: Your job is to track down and off a chap. Sure. Where do we start and what do we know about the target? Scrawny guy, lives by himself. Here's the address. Great, let's get going... hold on, why are we being called to deal with a no-name...

Ok, apologies for waking this particular sleeping dragon. NOTE: The recent years turned me into a cynic with regard to this particular topic. I am now fully convinced that people love to ignore history lessons. So nowadays I try to stray from forcing a particular theme or experiences on PCs. I...

You know, the goblins are usually portrayed as creatures that breed beyond local resource capacity, and who turn to others for more. Unless you present them as nice rural folk instead of hungry monstrosities, you do not have a case. And if you change them into somewhat xenophobic, yet still...

The last item on your list. I think you're right. GURPS is overdue for a new edition, with streamlined and simplified rules at 200 pages max. All the people I know who had played, are no longer using the system. An odd resource book, yes. Otherwise, it's like with HERO. Gone.

I would like to say that this post is great. You're being specific, put forward examples and add content that enriches the original article. Seriously. From my perspective, as a person who deals with project initiatives, I would like to say that no starting document is ever perfect or complete...

Umm. You are being kind of heavyhanded here by selecting a specific narrative and asking the host of this conversation to promote it. You are also attempting to shame them into compliance. That's neither nice nor constructive. Why not become a bit more positive and provide a perspective you...

While not your typical colonization, there is resettlement. This is an uprooting of large amount of people, usually of the same ethnicity, and forcibly moving them to a new locale, for political reasons. For European example, have a look at twentieth century Soviet regime operations after second...

Please, keep going guys. I want to learn more about these pearls.

Dishonored https://modiphius.net/collections/dishonored-the-roleplaying-game Agents of Concordia https://modiphius.net/products/agents-of-concordia-core-book I wished to see more of these. The Dishonored brought about Victorian steampunk gaming renaissance for me, and the 2d20 version was...

Precisely this. A fail on a routine difficulty roll can be interpreted as minor complication. A success, as a little extra bit of niceness for PCs.

Please take the following with a grain of salt. 1. Latest version of their core engine is superior (see Blade Runner). 2. The panic rules, while cinematic, were underwhelming. Same for standard mechanics. Pile enough rolls in one place and you end up with casualties. My Vaesen players also...

Form over function: brief setting introductions, illustrative pieces for rules. Function over form: The rules. Key setting material. In the light of the above, Mork Borg gets away with the layout because of its minimalistic rules and setting. If one were to read hundreds of pages built in this...

Played the Sunless Skies, loved the atmosphere but disliked the design. You're captain of a locomotive that flies through night/void/space. You have Victorian sensibilities, looming threat of insufficient resources, people going insane, missions and a map that cannot be trusted...

Sounds like a nephew of Laundry Files. Does the game support longer campaigns?

Would you be so kind and elaborate a bit on Flee Mortals! monster book?

The main issue with Apocalypse World 2.0 is that bountiful complications and relations can prevent you from exploring. You get a different set of players, your continuity goes the way of dodo, because each character brings their own little set of issues. In my opinion, your characters should...
