I haven't seen Dick Turpin but if you want to see Noel Fielding's comedic style check out The Mighty Boosh. There were three seasons. It's from about 20 years ago, but shouldn't be hard to track down on a streaming service somewhere.

Different strokes indeed. Ah well, each to their own. :cool:

Saw it the other night. It was not great. Still looked good. But it struggled with getting the story out. I get that they were trying to tone down the white saviour aspects of the story. But they really didn't do a good job of it. They needed to cut out extraneous bits (e.g. everything with...

Just to warn you, my preference is to do away with classes all together. I much prefer points based systems. So all my thoughts are coloured by this attitude. My first thought is that the divine magic/arcane magic split is dumb. I would just lump all spells together. Characters have pretty...

I'm still noodling through how to do this with my Hero houserules. I'm currently going with 1-3 hero points (I'm calling them soap points) are earned for invoking a disd, depending on the intensity. The number of times a disad can be invoked depends on the frequency of the disad. Very common is...

Thank you, mate, for your contributions to Champions. I've been enjoying the game for about 35 years now. And thank you, mate. I enjoy a compliment.

Games where you built in disadvantages for your characters. GURPS and Champions specifically. My first thought on encountering the idea was something like "Why would anyone want their character to have disadvantages?" :rolleyes: It was one of the things that broadened my understanding of role...

I have an unreasonable dislike of roll under percentile systems. No idea why.

I did NOT like Champions Fuzion when it came out. How dare they get rid of all those lovely numbers! Fast forward about 25 years and my house rules for Champions are looking very Fuzion-esque. I should really re-visit it to see how I feel about it now.

I admit I didn't. But now I do. Thanks. :-)

No. No no no no no. Monopoly might bore someone to death. But if you want to destroy long lasting friendships and all trust in people, it's Diplomacy all the way.

I was joking about the chatbot.

@EzekielRaiden Dude, why are you bothering? The guy's at best a troll. edited to add: or maybe a chatbot.

It is indeed a saucy title. I like the word. I once gave an anti-paladin NPC a warhorse called Swyver. Coz he could swyve you up.

Isn't the 50/50 chance of success the whole point of "bounded accuracy?" I should say, I hate "bounded accuracy" as a concept precisely because of this 50/50 nonsense. Player: "GM, I wanna do the thing." GM: "Flip a coin." As to the OP, I think what's being described is a type of...

Pendragon 6th ed Starter Set.

OH! Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac. There's totally a whole thing there about a faerie queen stealing away lovers. Which I have gone and mashed up with Delta Dawn to create my plot seed (above.)

Long Black Veil by Johnny Cash and the entirety of the album Henry's Dream by Nick Cave for all sorts of small town Southern Gothic murder mysteries. My current campaign has a plot seed inspired by Delta Dawn. The players are curious as to what the lady sitting in the park all day is about and...

HERO System, hands down. Differing speeds, aborting phases and holding actions, defensive and offensive manoeuvres that any character can use, pushing an ability for more effect, optional martial arts rules combat skill levels. I went on about it here so I won't go on about it. L5R 3e has some...

Oh man, this is one of the things I hate about Champions character sheets. So many needless effing numbers.
