12+ years of "pick the lesser of two evils" as a guiding philosophy has left a lot to be desired

I can agree with that. Though, I would also posit that "modern sensibilities" seeking to shy away from the tearing-down bits have been a contributing factor in a degradation of skillsets and less* proficiency at basic tasks. Both the carrot and the stick have their place. As for...

Mostly yeah, but it depends. There are things I learned via negative consequences in the military that I could literally still do blindfolded, even after having not done some of those tasks in years. So, there is a place for negative consequences. However, I do agree that positive...

I vaguely recall people being angry at Monte Cook in the early 2000s, but I honestly don't remember why. I own the 3rd Edition version of Ptolus. As said elsewhere, if a DCC version existed, I would buy it. I'm not aware of any of the people involved in producing the book doing anything that...

What playstyle would you say that Freeport best supports?

For a system that I play would be nice. This product being available for both DCC and 5E was of value to me. Having only a DCC version is preferable to having only a 5E version. Post in thread 'Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter...

Something that is made for both -and not Lankmar- would be good.

How difficult is it to add some crunch back in if desired? I'll look more into the game. I had dismissed it because, admittedly, I misunderstood what the game was meant to be.

I've heard good things about Shadowdark. I was unsure if it was an off-shoot of 5E (like Tales of the Valiant). Re: Your post about Ptolus - There are a lot of pieces of the setting that I like. I'm certainly not against using it. I own a physical copy of the D&D 3E version. I would need to...

Maybe. I played Rifts a few times, so I'm open to checking it out. I liked a lot of Palladium's stuff. The mechanics of the system were sometimes a bit wonky. But, I still have some friends who would possibly play.

I would be open to Genesys (as it is the underlying engine for games I already play). If there's something that fills a similar niche as DCC, I'm open to hearing about it. I like that DCC is familiar enough to D&D players so as to not be wholly alien when trying to learn, while also going back...

It's been quite a few years, but I somewhat remember Cook saying that Ptolus was what he felt a setting would look like if a setting were built specifically for the 3rd Edition system and built assuming that the physics engine (for a lack of better words) of 3rd Edition is how the settings world...

They could try hiring Pinkerton Agents to harass them in compliance. Kinda worked for WotC.

"A different thread is something I'll likely do later on, after I look at some of the suggestions people have offered throughout this thread. For now, my short elevator pitch would be something like Ptolus, but either fully embracing magi-tech (airships, machines, and such) OR closer to...

•Usually, if I'm planning on running GURPS, I take time to convert other things to that system. City Stats is helpful at doing that, but I still usually need at least some basic info from the original product to know what I'm working toward. If people want to support an ethical (to the best of...

I answered that in response to @Morrus. Though, I'm having issues with the multi-quote. Give me a sec, and I'll copy my response so as to post it again here. Edit: To Link to Previous Post Post in thread 'Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State...

I am. Doing me includes answering the questions you had. What other questions do you have?

How is it vague? You asked questions. They were answered. They've been answered throughout this thread. So, any frustration that has come from 2-3 interactions with you (in which I provided answers) is not something I understand. If you have specific questions, ask. •The hypothetical...

Currently, I play a lot of DCC. I also have friends who still play 5E on a regular basis. As this product is all of the things you mentioned and is made for both systems, a comparable product would also cover that. In 3.5 stuff, I own Ptolus. For DCC, I looked at some of the Lankmar stuff, but...

You would think so.
