Face to Face, I run a game at my church and we let anyone play.

GURPS Time Travel covers a lot of the different possibilities. I've always liked the recursive nature of "The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold. So many different possibilities for time travel including jumping to different universes created from decision branches. Such as "The...

I always prefer to pick a setting that fits into the style of the campaign I want to run and general avoid playing in games that shoehorn a system into a setting. I don't really have a system preference other than I have a fondness for GURPS but will admit GURPS doesn't handle high power levels...

If you are doing a more Mexican Day of the Dead themed, try these quotes from Coco and a few other places “Seize your moment.” He’s been forgotten. When there’s no one left in the living world who remembers you, you disappear from this world. We call it the Final Death. “Our memories, they...

You say your goal is to reduce HP bloat but you do so in an unfair and uneven way. You claim you want realism but decide to play one of the most unrealistic combat systems for an RPG I personally don't care what you do to damage your game but the concept of HP bloat is D&D and there are so many...

I am enjoying both the lovecraft horror and the look at the racial issues of the time through a new lens. The heroes are flawed and are stumbling towards a truth that the viewer knows is going to kill them. Or maybe a fate worse than death.

What are you trying to solve with this cap? You mentioned teamwork but how does lowering hp increase teamwork?

The magic system of D&D really doesn't work like the Earthsea one at all. There are better systems to try to work with. Mage: The Ascension HERO GURPS Fate

In the Los Angeles conventions (Orcon, Gateway, Strategicon) in the 80s, there used to be a castle set where people could bring any character they wanted and try to make it into the castle. I didn't usually have time to participate but I don't think many characters made it to the castle doors.

Session 0 should be to work out if your character ideas work with the adventure being run. And why everyone is adventuring together and what other hooks into the adventure characters might have.

Clerics are the worst. Such a great line.

I can remember dropping TNG early. I think the criticisms by DC Fontana pushed me over the edge on that. I do remember watching the borg season finale and opener but never really got into it. DS9 was my jam and Voyager didn't keep me interested. I really wanted to like Enterprise but only...

I think the show does a good job world building. It would be interesting to run it as a campaign where a group of immortals and or mortal companions deal with the evil immortal of the week or just complications for being immortal. Or if you merged Highlander with Dresden Files and now you have...

For space games, I've preferred Traveller or GURPS over Star Wars. Partly because there just seems more room in the Traveller Imperium or in my own homebrew than in the Star Wars space.

GURPS handles each hit location with modifiers around damage that penetrates. It can take some time to die but once you are down to 1/3 HT you have to make rolls to keep going. There are locations for Face, skull, vitals, groin, torso, arms and legs, and hands and feet. Example. Neck (-5)...
