That's variable. Fear of losing characters needs only emotional attachment to the characters and a clear and present threat to said characters. More narrative inspired fear is possible, and is helped by atmosphere of the play space... but is also more reliant upon GM skill and upon player...

Yeah, the phone version of Pugmire lacks the core adventure. I didn't buy the phone versions, but the phone version of Pugmire was a freebie in the twenty-teens at some point.

Then they REALLY don't know WTF they're on about. Most of the games I've seen under a CC license are CC-BY-SA, then next most often CC-BY-NC. ORC is basically equivalent to CC-BY-SA. Same for WOGL1.0a. CC-BY-NC is fundamentally a different entire thing - it's a "free work only license"...

Just add the share alike clause in CC. But, to be honest, this whole thread is proof that CC is too poorly understood. Creative Commons is NOT ONE LICENSE It's several. The base level of CC is a truly open one, allowing modified or unmodified use, not requiring attribution, and allowing...

I seldom enjoy live plays, but the Dial the Gate vidcast ep 8 where they demoed Stargate was amazing... Largely because most of the players (5 of 6) were stargate cast playing the nearly completed rules.... David Hewlett (Rodney McKay), David Blue (Eli Wallace), Alexis Cruz (Skarra), Julie...

Sun Fallout: Meet Sentient Rats. Make nice.

fear of loss of characters is a real fear. Some players get attached quick.

I found it incredibly painful to use the results in descending roll order within Star Wars d6 1e...

My players noted a horror edge to the QP module. I doubled down on it in my follow-on. I set up a buffed wraiths encounter (Tier 2 wraiths), with the questions: "What hell does this section of woods make you think of?" and "Who from it does that tree there remind you of?" Then the wraiths...

Look at the one in Monarchies

Alpha, not Beta. And I can see the lineage; it's lineage is through the T&T CRPG as much as the TT... when we see advancement, I suspect a 7/7.5/D mode. I'm not surprised at all by the switch to a count-successes model; given that combat rolls can easily hit 6d, at which point expected...

Just resolve them in posting order.

Nor mine. More importantly, the legacy interface for my library plays much nicer with several bits of hardware I use.

Then just change it to a +3/-3. It's not a huge issue. I will say, Pugmire lives up to one of the failed promises of 5e... reducing the mods on rolls. It also cancels by the pair, unlike core 5e.

Plus there's a nice limit of 3 shorts before the rest needs to be a long. In re non-action... I didn't. I took something else on the list for inaction: they're yielding the spotlight to an NPC. It's not a golden opportunity... My golden opportunity moment, the Guardian leapt at the war wizard...

The one drawback of the Pugmire system (all 3 core games are one system and one setting, in 3 different subsettings) is that it's got some very heavy allegory on race-relations in the mid-20th C US, most visibly in the Monarchies adventure in the corebook. That can put it off of some people's...

D6 Space actually is what was slated to be WEG SW 3rd ed.

I had swingy bits in each fight. Plus in my follow-up on the cue at the end of the QPM's postlogue.

To be honest? Firefly (The Boardgame) the great big one with the map of the system and crew... as the mission generator, with the dirtside stuff resolved via Firefly (the RPG, Cortex Plus). Traveller isn't cinematic enough without tweaking under CT/MT/MGT1, and is too gritty on ships but too...

I got monarchies to table, not pugmire... Juneteenth is the right time to play its corebook's adventure...
