Would love to see that as a mash up!

Wibs! Thank you for providing an opportunity for others to play!

Two frequently paraphrased adages: Clark Kent is Superman; Batman is Bruce Wayne. Clark Kent is who Superman is; Superman is what he does. Any discussion about Superman's personal character really needs to keep in mind Siegel & Shuster's actual lives, I feel. I'd also suggest reading "For the...

In that scene, this response felt human. Not, it. (Which at least from this trailer, is the point) I like the "S," it feels new? But its outline really hearkens to very early Superman "S" for me.

P-A-R-A-N-O-I-A (really!)

This is a harder question for me to answer. I think, at least at this point in time, I like systems whose bones scaffold me as a player such that I gladly engage in the game, in ways that are fulfilling and meaningful. Right now, I don't have a heartbreaker game that is the game. I've read that...

This is tag language. Which is used a lot in some games! It's similar to something like Maven Moves from Brindlewood Bay. A beginning player may not know intimately what a "B.A. Baracus" does, but they'll immediately know it has to relate with physicality or protection. It plays into pop...

I can see this! It's footprint is smaller; perhaps too soon to say with consensus.

I'm not as versed on indie ttrpg development, but my understanding is that that game has been iterated off of about as much as PbtA (system) has (Cairn being a recognized one. Collectively they're just known or referred to as Odd-likes). :3

Hum. It seems to me Into the Odd has a deserved place.

Let's start with the premise. If the intent is to have the party be plummeted into the Underdark, why not open with that? Some are in the mine because they were ordered there as laborers. Some go in ostensibly on a tour. As the latter descend, their elevator has a mishap. The ones in the...

A suggestion that your group can discuss if it's necessary or not. Some PbP groups use out-of-character tags, which everyone includes in their response for the purpose of just keeping everyone on the same page, so the OOC channels don't get clogged up w/ clarification requests. It typically can...

Lots of short stories by Haruki Murakami; I don't think it's necessary to have to say why I specifically like or know of them! For those who may be less or not familiar, readers tend to describe his writing as being seated in "magical realism with surreal elements."

Pretty recently, I've been reading a few blogs that have been exploring the idea of stuff (tm) a character could conceivably have; mostly let's say equipment or tools, but applied granular to how those define the character, and how they're often not applied with benefit in the fiction. Games in...

Besides HOME, also in this space would be Stonetop. It comes up often for this kind of scenario!

Yes!

I have never purchased a Goodman Games product, nor have I had the opportunity to play City State of the Invincible Overlord. At the announcement, I expressed excitement because I was aware of the place it had for many. Plainly, if you're a customer intending on purchasing a product, one should...

This layout feels unified, and seems easy to locate specific information about the class! I also appreciate the very brief flavor provided right away for each subclass, so you immediately have an idea of what it may be like.

What stands out to me in this bones summary is: Don't limit "the way in" behind a gated die roll. If the party is relatively convincing in their depiction at the entrance, let them pass. Does another means inside exist besides bluffing (disguised) at the gate? Be sure these different clues...

This also allows to facilitate the game to be more about other things besides combat, loot hoarding and high focus on character game mechanics etc., if that is what you and your table would like. (y)
