Kill Him Faster is a fun little game about time travellers speedrunning killing Hitler.

But all of that can still be true in other "cultures of play". Bringing characters to multiple games is something I think of as being part of Gygax's era and mode that the blogpost author is always posting about on Reddit being the Ultimate Gaming Experience.

Has there ever been any other writing on the "Six Cultures of Play" besides the original blog post? I have never been able to comprehend the author's ideas because of his terrible naming conventions and the fact most of it is dedicated to "and here's why this thing isn't Real Gaming". Has anyone...

I want that 300k funding achievement for The Between so bad.

Yeah, unfortunately Google has deemed "learning information via our search tools" to be an unnecessary part of their business. I have till yet to see a compelling rationale for "AI" text and images to be used. Much like crypto, the only visible use case that is ever seen is making/buying...

Hell yeah. I'm starting a game of The Between soon, another Carved from Brindlewood game, and I cannot WAIT.

Disregarding authority or whatever, it's a very weird argumentative tactic to declare that all RPGs are about combat and then reject all evidence to the contrary.

Coolest and most interesting character death is when it just happens to be the most dramatically fulfilling thing that can happen. Love when death is a player choice.

7 looks so damn good. Excited to see them trying new things.

I have absolutely zero interest in unilaterally designing a setting as a GM. I tried, it was boring. Now we all make the settings up as a group, let things change or develop as necessary, and bam, everyone is more engaged, one person doesn't need to take on the role of Designing Everything...

Kickstarter community head quits, apologizes for controversial RPG project Considering the last time Luke told a bunch of people that Koebel was 100% definitely not involved in something.... not much confidence in the project here!

I think even in games where they work fine, they're definitely ugly. Such an ordeal to sift through.

You can walk across the frozen water because you can walk across frozen water. Why would there NEED to be a rule about that? It's like making a rule about how you can't get nutrition by eating rocks.

People basically only ever talk about the video game-type magic system when they discuss his books. I'd read a billion posts about how cool his magic was for years and it took physically picking up a copy of Mistborn to learn that it's a heist story about a wizard dude named Kelsier. People...

They're hoping to get it out like the remastered Beginner's Box afaik - an update to the PDF without having to make people buy the second one.

The Delta Test was soooo cool. Can't wait to pick up the final release when I've got the spare cash.

Really boring name, but at least it's not named after himself I guess? This really does make it sound like it's a game about like, Errol Flynn style swashbuckling or arena combat, and not at all the General DnD-esque Gameplay Milieu that it is.

A good example of how this really does just mostly come down to pure opinion - for me and my players, this helps us get more invested in everything!

The less big-ass lists in a game book, the better. The best magic "systems" are where you just do whatever it is you're doing and say it's magic-related.

There's plenty of great sports RPGs. Full Court is a thing of beauty, Gravity RIP has the best racing mechanics I've ever seen. Also, yes, RPGs, being fiction, are hard to make non-fiction (which is not a genre).
