You don't have to be a criminal to want to avoid cops. ;) Maybe "engage with city officials and services."

"and avoid the cops."

No it's not. People play it all the time.

A friend was able to order it from Barnes and Noble yesterday.

I have a setting I have used with both Monster of the Week and Savage Worlds wherein many creatures and people from Fantasyland poured in to modern Earth as regugees when The Big Bad took over. I would have to tweak it since the lack of a "manasphere" on Earth made drawing magical energy from...

Another related question: do you know of and potentially enjoy and SOLO minimalist or one page RPGs?

Do you enjoy minimalist and/or one page RPGs? Do you have a favorite or two? What do you think of the concept in general? Lasers and Feelings gets lots of love, and for good reason. It implies a lot and if you have a table that is really dedicated to the idea I am sure you could have lots of...

Another potential metric of success: did it influence other games that followed it and therefore have a legacy, even if itself is no longer played/read/purchased/whatever.

Maybe a poll using these criteria and whatever else pops up here?

That is a good idea. For it to be a true Dresden-like one would need vampire and werewolf ancestries, of course. I wonder if any of the existing ones could be easily reskinned as such.

I posted this in another thread but the idea is starting to take over my brain: Daggerheart of Dresden-like urban fantasy. In that genre of urban fantasy, all the action takes place in magical spaces with magical powers. Guns, cars and phones are incidental narrative elements. The important...

While I think success looks different to each company and creator, from sales to critical reeption to simply getting it out there, I think from a TTRPG consumer perspective the thing that makes me consider a game "successful" is if a) I see people talking about it in a positive way online, and...

Demeo is fun, if shallow.

Is there a continuity of "story" in MT2? That is, should I beat MT before I play MT2?

Since it was on sale, i decided to grab Monster Train. Really what pushed me over the edge was Damon from Gamescoop talking up Monster Train 2. I really like Slay the Spire (and deckbuilders in general). On just one playthrough, it is fun. it feels a little more complex than StS, but not by a...

I had a random thought on the way home: Daggerheart for urban fantasy. Specifically, the kind of urban fantasy exemplified by Dresden. While the world is modern, the tools and abilities of the characters in those kinds of stories are usually more typically fantastical. That is, you don't have to...

Based on interviews I have listened to with developers and people who should know, I don't think this is true. Brute force training is definitely seeing diminishing returns, but approaches to both training and models are constantly evolving. I think it is naive to just assume they won't get...

A friend of mine was able to get it on Barnes and Noble today.

I honestly don't think this opposition will last. When this stuff gets really good, people will stop asking and eventually stop noticing. I think the same is true in the TTRPG space, but will probably take longer.

Right. If you want to "interrupt" the players without them failing or rolling with fear, you have to spend a fear(if I understand it correctly). UNLESS they do something that gives you a "golden opportunity" or has obvious, immediate narrative consequences.
