Using the Bedlam Hall setting with different rules. From the discussions online about Monkey Fun Bedlam Hall I found that people love the setting and premise but dislike the rules. -Are the rules actually okay (a case of internet exaggeration?) -Is there a PbtA ruleset that can drop in easily to...

A collaborative character generation game would be cool. I don’t know if there is a game like that would be simple enough for commercial breaks.

I figure someone here must play some game during commercial breaks. Some ideas I would like to try -A few rounds of Jenga -A few rounds of Checkers Some things I tried -Fidget spinner is okay -Reading articles can work -Reading a book fails, I get to distracted

The thing that Pikimin does well is not an absolute reward for steps(which it also does), but rewarding for a increase in the amount of steps (getting healthy for doing better then the previous week.)

Pokemon Go you add step points to the eggs to mature them. Pikimin Bloom, your Pikimin find fruit, plant flowers, and find seeds, based on location and number of steps. (Location could be the distance between your work desk and the restroom though.) Pokémon Go seeds are new Pokémon. Pikimin...

It's a weird one but: Incentivizing steps from a pedometer in some way. Like Pokemon Go and Pikmin Bloom. I also think porting steps into some points would be tedious at the table (though Pokemon Go and Pikimin Bloom do that.)

Blades in the Dark -What kind of horror tropes does the setting embrace? -What post apocalyptic tropes? -What twisted and corrupt society tropes? -Does it embrace any revolution or overthrow oppression tropes?

I know very little about Trophy Gold but I want to know more. -It is related to Cthulhu Dark, and Trophy Dark -Trophy Dark is doomed characters -Trophy Gold works well with OSR adventures -What is the player agency versus GM guidance balance like? -What is the separation of the player...

The player types makes more sense when I think of Runners from Shadowrun. I don’t know why I was not making that connection before.

The Demon Girl Next Door. It’s full of encouraging words for the hero.

Probably because I don’t understand Blades in the Dark that well. And the podcasts plays I heard of it used flashbacks a lot. If heists are not the main thrust of the game then I really would like to know the structure of games it supports (again I don’t know.) And excuse me if I am wrong but...

A Goodman Games’ Mutant Crawl Classic bundle goes live on Bundle of Holding https://bundleofholding.com/presents/MCC2025 $7.95 the basic bundle $18.16 for the deluxe bundle (I believe the deluxe bundle price can change.) Fanatical has its Lankhmar Dungeon Crawl Classics bundle still going...

I don’t think it’s been raised as a point in this discussion yet. When you adopt or even copy a rule or subsystem of rules from somewhere it’s been play-tested (usually, I know there are crazy exceptions.) -Than it is not a dead end (great sounding ideas can be terrible in practice.) -The idea...

Yes, yes we do. Where else would Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder etc borrow ideas to refine and evolve their products from? Do fans of Critical Role deserve a game any less than fans of Lords of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian, or Dying Earth? And finally do people who wish to experience a...

Blades in the Dark appears to be an example of: -A (criminal or rogue) crew going on heists narrative -Emergent Storytelling, players provide preparation details before heist and with flashback mechanics -Everything and everyone is grey, morally ambiguous players in a corrupt world -The dice...

Hogby is officially the last name of my two Guinea Pigs

Luther Arkwright: Roleplaying Across the Parallels DriveThruRPG is the Mythras multiverse book, maybe paring it with After the Vampire Wars would give you the material you need (Mythras is similar to BRP)

I am going to call this the vacation problem. You have limited amount of time and very many options to use it. The optimal way to spend the time is to chose: -Options as different from each other as possible -Options that are great experiences -Options that have meaning to you So do I think I...

To ask a different but related question "How can a person get a survey of the different types of RPGs." Survey of different approaches -What D20 system(s) should be read to understand how they work? -What Dice Pool system(s) should be read to understand how they work? -What Percentile system(s)...
