Lack of an actual fail de-games a game too much for me. I don't mind a range where complicated success is allowed, but there are times where I want a real failure to be an option, and that's most of the time.

In release order: Serenity RPG: Cortex [classic] System (NOT Cortex Plus) Firefly RPG: Cortex Plus. Cortex Classic is a 1d(skill)+1d(att) step die vs TN, medium skill list, few dice tricks. Cortex Plus is a variable size pool of stepdice, keep 2. The dice included in pool: 1 each Att, Skill...

I didn't find Mekton until the 90's, with Mekton II.

Any situation where it might provide information of a weakness, be it combat, social, or magical conflict. Any time where knowing the right fact about a subject enable better planning. I would use it as a form of self-help fairly often. I also have allowed Trivia/Lore rolls to define something...

Not really. In combat, the number of uncancelled success symbols is added to weapon damage. Healing, price negotiations, and some Lore checks have flat rate distinctions for how much from a success; Lore, it's the number of questions answered; prices, it's generating the discount; Healing it's...

I don't know that they do; It's about setting attachment, and that can happen for me on first read... I genuinely prefer modern count successes systems, so the settings are what I'm attracted by, but I found also that I can't recapture the feels, so I don't try.

Yes... in PDF at least. DriveThruRPG The mechanics are the same as for HG, with a few minor differences in rating mecha, and the . If you like HG, you should like JC just as much. There is a LOT of lore in the corebook; there's much more in the player's guide and world books. Note also: They...

There were some rough spots a decade ago, but generally, Marc seems pleased with them. And most of the fanbase seems ok with them, as well.

TNE was the T2000 port of Traveller... ;) :p

Dicebag (last count was well over 300 dice, without the FL and FFG dice... Games: Hero System 5th ed Sentinel Comics ALIEN (Free League) Twilight 2000 4th ed FFG L5R Cortex Prime Dragonlance 5th Age varying by week, either Marvel Heroic RP or Advanced Marvel Super Heroes. I'll note as well...

I strongly disagree with the quoth bit. Most of the games I like have multiple success levels, but not all have a fumble/botch/crit_fail. MegaTraveller has 4 standard levels of success/fail, Exceptional Success, Simple Success, Simple Failure, Exceptional Failure... and Exceptional failure is...

Perhaps... but the costs of storage are most likely going to go up. And with that, the cost of digital delivery. The problem is that storage at scale is still expensive... (Not in the way RAM or Disk Drives were when I was a kid, but...) And it's not just the drives themselves, but also the...

The hardware upon which they are stored is manufactured mostly in Asia. Even the "assembled in the USA" computers are mostly from parts from China, Japan, Korea, or Taiwan, or some of the new fabs in other Southeast Asian nations. There are no current generation nor last generation fabs in the...

couple moles per m³ in interstellar medium last I read. The solar system's interstellar medium is a tiny bit lower.

Whichever one was in the bundle deal. My taste in character gen is different than it used to be. I no longer have the patience to run, say, FASA-Trek, with the involved lifepath... despite it fitting readably onto 2 pages. This hybrid lifepath/point build is offputting to me not just in this...

molecular and atomic hydrogen are rare as substances on Earth, Mars, Venus, and most moons not orbiting Jupiter or Saturn. In chemical compounds, however... We all get some of the science wrong some of the time. Our experience of the universe is non-quantum, but at its heart, the universe is...

I have one former (potentially returning) who fails to think ahead... this was survivable in some games, not in others. He's good about generating new. I've another who enjoys finding story-based edge cases, rather than rules based. They're not openly adversarial, but they are often the cause...

And that's all before considering that the administration is also targeting all the social safety nets, and also looks to be going after Federal Employee Retirement System, too. (We've two disabled vets in the house, and 5 disabled persons of 7 total. The two non-disabled are non-drivers, and we...

Fallout: Wasteland Warfare is a minis wargame; There is another one, too, also from Modiphius: Fallout: Factions. I'm unclear as to the differences twixt them. Edit: Grabbing the QS for F:F... F:WW is a custom dice system using colored custom labeled d12s, but F:tRPG ranged SPECIAL. F:F is a...

A pretty direct competitor to Warhammer, roughly 28-30mm, and many casual players cross sides. TTWG has a bit higher fractioning than RPGs... and is a smaller base, too. Partly, due to expense. While a typical flagship TTRPG runs $20-$40 for a starter box, and $40-$80 for a monolithic corebook...
