600+ pages but no real setting? Inane terms instead of things like roll # dice? Mind-worms no one believes in? :oops: I'm glad I saw it. I am impressed, I have to say.

Not a fan of SW. I'm not actually looking for a campaign, just wondering if anyone had produced a game in the genre that wasn't supers or occult. I have zero interest in the supers genre in any form, and I'm familiar with the occult invasions. Although other than CoC, that aspect has not...

But unlike Rifts, it might be enjoyable.

Exactly. Alien invasion is not an uncommon Hollywoof genre or video game, but it is very under-served as TTRPGs.

I don't play D&D.

I often suspect that GURPs is a form of alien invasion.

By alien invasion I mean straight-up 'War of the World', 'V', Battle for LA' types, not occult-style such as CoC or Tribe 8, or supers. Seems an under-populated genre.

Has a strong CoC Dreamlands feel.

I run a long-term group, and I dont use D&D. How I handle this sort of thing is to make a hidden roll against the villain's social skill to determine how well he 'read' the PCs. If he's successful, I target the player, not the PC. After years together, I know the buttons to push. Watch the...

Looking over (and Googling) the list left me cold. A lot of the same, really, plus the usual assortment of second editions. I would have voted for the Pirate Borg setting, but I guess it doesn't count as a new release anymore.

Change settings, and in each setting, tailor the group premise for existence to the setting. For example, the last five campaigns my group has been together (4 years real time): 1) Fantasy 2) Occult-hunting while serving as a detachment for the Chief of Scouts (intelligence officer) for the...

We literally finished Monograph #339: Return of the Ripper (Chaosium, 1986, Call of Cthulhu 3E) tonight, using the Aces & Eights system. set in Chihuahua, Mexico in 1889.

Reverse it. They have the Golden Backscratcher of Endless Potential, and are fleeing the Red Death Wallaby cultists who wish to take it by force. they wreck on the island, and must dodge zombies and Red Death hunting parties while desperately gathering the means to survive and escape.

Man, no substance for all but ToC 2E. At this rate, new RPGs will be printed on Post-It notes.

We have been sexism-free at my table for years. Although we have no female players, either. Its a lot easier to combat sexism in those circumstances.

Sounds like a personal problem for the player.

I say 'No'. I usually follow it up with why, but that is just a courtesy.

Which is a system failure, IMO. But using a d20 system, there's really not many variables you can plug in. But in systems using a count-up system and weapon range issues, you can really start to make player choices mean something. No one load-out will be viable.

Yep. Which is exactly my point. :cool:
