I posted on my True20 experiences in my Dino-Pirates of Ninja Island thread. I'm a convert. Yes, working the Damage Track is fiddly. But I created a 9th-level spellcasting unique NPC in TWENTY MINUTES -- that's from concept in my head to complete stat block written and formatted. Seriously...

I've got a one-pager you can grab from my website that I'm rather fond of, myself.

UPDATE: The second playtest session went very well indeed, and I'm now polishing up the document so that I can get it playtested by somebody who doesn't already have it all in their head. Anyone wants to volunteer, drop me a line and let's discuss. Reasonably serious inquiries only, please...

Glad you approve of ol' Zipakna. We certainly haven't seen the last of her, I assure you. Nope, the 60's spy/ninja girls (Dangerous Women) remains on the shelf in my brain. Where it continues making me very happy.

Swashbuckling Cards: The Thread that keeps on giving... Okay, if you clowns keep coming up with good cards, I'm eventually going to have to update my document. Sheesh.

I love that idea. Even tried it. Sadly, I just always forget I have a card, and so the DM's card never gets played. Very annoying.

He was a great one.

I have to say, spambots are getting fascinating.

I knew exactly what this game was about as soon as I saw the title. Awesome.

Uh, every single one of the five hundred people watching A Midsummer Night's Dream with me Friday night. The audience was SHRIEKING they were laughing so hard. The entire last hour of the play was uncontrollable howling. A little girl down the row from me fell off her chair onto the floor she...

Ooh, yes. And the writer of Gawain and the Green Knight. I guess it's not entirely fair to choose a poet on the basis of ONE poem, but GatGK is very nearly THAT good. We're going to get along just fine, Huw. I can tell.

Hey, taky. Welcome back!

One of the great things about the cards is they're so customizable. If any card isn't right for your campaign style, just leave it out. It's not like, say tweaking the magic rules, where if you miscalculate, you're kind of stuck with broken rules. With swashbuckling cards, if one card turns out...

Agreed a hundred-fold, with the caveat that no other playwright demands as much PHYSICALLY from his actors. In order to successfully deliver those lines, you need vast reserves of energy and you need the training to direct and manage that energy correctly. He does all the intellectual/emotional...

Honestly, the mechanical balance issues aren't really a problem. Seriously. It can turn one of your encounters inside-out, but big deal. It's the plot ones that can really cause trouble.

Nobody ought to feel guilty about LOVING Josie and the Pussycats. One of the funniest movies EVER.

Hi Rob I wonder if you could talk a bit about some of the rules changes you made and the thinking behind them. What design considerations drove your decision-making, what did you learn in playtesting, all that geeky stuff. I love that stuff. And thanks for creating this thread!

Thanks, led. We're heading towards the wild finish now, but I'm pretty sure I will run another Dead Man's Chest game at some point. It was just too much fun to leave behind.

The best thread EVER is JPL's Define Some Genres thread -- the infamous ORIGINAL source of Dino-Pirates of Ninja Island! What could ever be better than that?

It's called Drunk Southern Girls With Guns. It's funnier, creepier and wilder than just about anything. Ever.
