Goat-men, anyone who has spent time around goat will find the though of human sized intelligent goat-men terrifying.

Been GMing for almost 40 years, and a dozen different systems. I am tired. I voted Player but finding a non DnD 5e game anywhere seem to be mission nearly impossible these days.

My kids (8,10,12) wanted to play Root but just like dad they failed to grok (grok is still a think right?) PBTAs Moves. So I just defaulted to my Classic traveller Referee mode and ran it like that. We kept the No, Yes but, Yes dice mechanics and it played fine that way.

Took a look at this and Vaesen, Vaesen won by a mile. V has no meta currencies, good character progression, a realistic setting that is easily changed, much better and clearly written rules and several supplements and investigations already published. CO leans to far into narrative games for me...

Star Trek Alpha Quadrant is based on traveller and IMHO quite good Link

Thats about 25% of his discord or youtube followers. Seems like the ficus on building a cult…er follower base has worked out well.

Dragonbane and … yeah that was it. Maybe two sessions all year, its been a rough 12 months.

I must be into niche games more than I thought, I only bought two of those. Dragonbane and Nochet (itself a supplement for a niche game…). Interesting that most of the top sellers are more traditional games/complex games and none of the “narrative first” story games are in there. Correction I...

Not bad fulfillment, only 5ish months late. Thats pretty good for as large as it was and being a small company.

Having the lvl 1 mechanics sort of hashed out is nowhere near the point at which I would say you could get a feel for the game. this is an unfinished manuscript that's missing at least 80% of what it needs to be complete and ready for editing.

Even the designers don’t know much about it…

I love me some necro threads! I love DGP-CT/MT task resolution, it was simple but with enough granularity to account for time pressure (or lack there of) and presents PCs as competent. My biggest pet peeve in rpgs is the incompetent PC. If that the character concept the player wants its fine...

Role master and Harnmaster are IMHO not very crunchy in play (I am in the minority here but I have also actually played them), character gen is detailed but in play its usually making a percentile roll for skills. Sure combat gets detailed but it usually doesn't last very long and the injury...

100% depends on where the complexity sits with in the game. Character gen is a place I have a high tolerance for complexity (I like life path systems that feed into skill based play systems). At the table I want the game to provide enough granularity to support the setting and some depth of play...

It was always a money grab, the money is all in 5e and paying game designers to build new systems would cut into those profits already made thin by licensing fees.

WEG Starwars, WEG ghostbusters, and FASA Startrek. All were fantastic, well supported and died way to soon.

If Phoenix command had a VTT module to do all the math and record keeping it would be popular now a days. Not super popular but people would play it for sure.

Delta Force takes me all the way back to high school, I was trying to explain it to a couple of the younger generation and they could not understand why you would want to roleplay that. All I could say waw "Chuck Norris on a rocket launching Moto cross bike".

Yup same reason fantasy games always sell more than Scifi and modern combined. People like playing elves

The most complex math in DnD is basic adding and subtraction, you make it sound like its particle physics or some thing. I was just thinking about how as the national math averages have gone down so has the virulent hatred for any kind of math or charts in ttrpgs has gone up. If players can’t do...
