So it was D&D night at my local University gamers' club. We had a pretty big turnout so I offered to run a table for Mines of Pandelver - an adventure I've never run, played, or even read. In my frost turn I critted, dropping one pc. One tpk later, I turned the first encounter into a...

One advantage to Deadlands is that Savage Worlds is a multi-genre system so adding other genre mechanics is dead-simple.

For me it was fail and suck. But the dm told me today that it was actually two monsters he added to the mix - Void something or other - that caused disad on saves, no save, then hit with a con save to avoid paralyzation. Sucked. On top of that, the fight wasn't particularly...

Also known for his work on Trail of Cthulhu with Laws.

Mercer finale save or suck

In my last two games playing an Assassin (once an actual assassin and now playing a Swashbuckler with Assassin Armour) we tweaked it a bit so I'm not hogging screen time constantly scouting so I can open combats with surprise that we might have wanted to avoid. In the first round if the target...

One edition too late.

Also, NOT sleeping doesn't fatigue you, either. And no matter of exhaustion/fatigue will make you pass out - it just kills you.

Not even GURPS has rules for underwear.

If it's anything like this, 5.0 will be the last edition I buy.

...and half of them will be labeled Rouge.

This is really starting to remind me of the old "gravity is a house rule" threads way back when.

I'm not sure I get this. Here, in Saskatchewan, I'm quite familiar with cold weather while still being quite hot enough in August to have a beer outside.

Last Wednesday and this, our regular Encounters game. Last Sunday, Dec 18, at long last, I restarted my Dungeon Fantasy (GURPS) game, last played pre-covid. Off yesterday - for some reason my players all couldn't make it - but we'll continue New Year's Day because we're all nerds and will not...

Recently, in a game I'm in, a fighter - he was a real problem player but has recently improved quite a bit after a talk with the DM after the next death after this one - had made a deal with the devil and had an unholy weapon. He was arrested due to the actions he took while under it's...

I think the initial call by the DM was the bad call - apparently the only way to fail jumping on the car was lethally. She could have been too late, missing completely; less too late, hitting the side - painful but not necessarily lethal; landed on the roof but couldn't hold on, etc. After all...

Savage Worlds can be very lethal with its exploding dice.

Nope, they had similar concepts because Paramount ripped of B5. Straz pitched his show to multiple companies looking for financing, including Paramount 2 years before either show was made. Mimbari were originally androgynous shapechangers in the pilot. Sound familiar? He changed the...

Of course, that was due to the "war" with B5, the show it ripped off. B5 was gaining in ratings and had a big war, so...

We did it with a GURPS time travel game, but placed it in the future with idealized versions of ourselves to avoid arguments and to make us at least adventuring-adjacent capable.
