Yes! Exactly! :LOL:

More specifically to your grumbling; I wonder occasionally what the thinking process was for a trap of this kind like this. Like, are these treasures the boss wishes to have available for all posterity, so that proof of their greatness exists long after they died? ...My name is Ozymandias...

No, I contend this scene is at root of many decades of awful designed traps placed in awkward places in written adventures for decades. Was it exciting to see as a young person in the theater? Yes! But Mage Hand was always that bag of sand.

I picked the AF versions of these on a Black Friday; def. concur with others' assessment that they read pretty well (given rule set) from cover-to-cover, in addition to being readily accessible if you have to quickly look something up.

People already have mentioned the go-to's. To be honest, practically any system-agnostic/OSR ruleish module can be amazing as long as its usability and vibes align with what you are wanting in the moment. There's been creative 1 page and tri-fold adventures that just sing (w/ a little love)...

It struck me just now you may find Idle Cartulary's Advanced Fantasy Dungeons (you can find it at their itch) of interest; well-considered decisions on 2E.

This sounds like GLOG.

Genuinely, reading @darjr title, then seeing your reply not long later in the thread after I had posted... it was much needed humor I needed yesterday-- so thank you both! :giggle:

I misread this thread title as meaning Shadowdark Kickstarter sign up for its Western (bang! bang!).

I want to push back a little on this assessment with an anecdote: I'm not terribly versed in PbTA games/system, but got the opportunity recently to listen in to a one-shot of Night Witches by Bully Pulpit games, and got to ask questions while the game was in session. In the game, you play...

What the table really wants to know, did Umbran make a hup sound the second time?

It was suggested to me that Ironsworn's rule set using Mouse Guard's setting works pretty well!

Since downtime play loops have come up, some may find these writings helpful and could adopt some version of them as makes sense for their game.

My initial exposure to games w/ this set of aesthetics was Mouse Guard. Of course, that setting leans more on the need to confront dangers in a physical fashion. I've learned of quite a few others since then, and obviously more besides based on the ones others have linked.!Almost all are by...

I feel like there should be space for above kind of play. I think the current edition would benefit from smishing the levels by half. Restructuring could spur more product to be developed i.e. for older editions, where higher level play (Levels 1-36) exists.

Posting to 1st echo calls for Traveler & Dragonbane. Another avenue to consider would be how these game systems you look at are constructed towards exclusively solo play, or to cater to solo play.

It's surreal to read everyone's responses. People are really passionate. My Star Wars package essentially is: Clone Wars The Original Trilogy (Han shot first) Andor Rogue One With bits & bobs from The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, etc. Not all the Disney+ series & seasons. I haven't even tried to...

A reason why, is it's happened.

A good story can increase your candidate pool.

For Other: I try to the extent I can, to accommodate the modes of play my table enjoys.
