After a long break from video games I’ve started playing Rogue Trader, lots of fun! Exterminatus!

I fine Common Knowledge and such useful when players MIGHT have picked up snippets of info, but it’s not at the top of their head, like about a space station in the region that they haven’t visit. The better the roll, the more info and details.

I GM all social stuff so that rolls have some impact, but roleplaying is the major deciding factor. It works at my table.

In how I GM Savage Worlds it would be all skill rolls and roleplaying, except for the social stuff where I let the roleplay heavily impact target numbers, we love some actual fasttalk at our table. The Heavy will be occupied with roleplaying, perhaps to the point where I make him roll to not...

Tiger king is thrashy but with such sky high entertainment value it almost become quality, in some kind of postmodern twist.

SW is my goto system, and I can only agree.

Now I’m old and jaded, but I still treasure the massive rush of SOW I got from Runequest 2e and its fantastic supplements.

I sometime mess up my YT algorithms by minor binging US gun nut stuff, like Demolition Ranch and such. To me as a northern European that stuff is insane, almost surreal.

No, but I forgot to mention in my post that I use Jackass and the British variant Dirty Sanches like comfort food. So stupid, so thrashy, so entertaining.

I love grimdark RPGs. I am also a sucker for the various TV series versions of Anne of the Green Gables. Just can’t help it, it’s like a palate cleanser from our messed up and dying real world.

Thanks! Well, keyboard and mouse is superior, but the iPad ports are surprisingly playable. It just slow down the gameplay a bit, which is fine in my situation.

Matt often has interesting things to say, but I just can’t stand his forced voice and manners.

I’m currently on a drawn out hospital stay to fix my heart and get a pacemaker. So I’m replaying the old Baldurs Gate games on my iPad. Good stuff that are kind to the blood pressure 😄

I agree, but I’m happy to pass the role of dedicated magic damage dealer to one of the other full caster classes.

I’m fine with the wizard being mainly a controller and utility dude, like in many other d20 systems.

I haven’t been a player since the 80ies, it’s simply not fun to me.

This. Since every PC is the same in 5e - 30’ move, no race limit for stats etc - this would raw allow an all Smurf party 😍

Is it now we start up the Sapir-Whorf vs Chomsky fight? 😀

Doing a quick sidestep from my planned reading with a re-read of Paul Austers New York trilogy. Still incredibly good!

I only own Hole and Incandescent of the adventures, but to me they are masterclasses of how commercial adventures should be written and structured, with almost zero unnecessary fat. They are probably the most zero prep of any adventures I've read. Now, I'm a 99% home-brew GM, but the OSE...
