Oh yes, it is perhaps the ultimate classic (the counterpoint being/becoming the high-level scry-and-slay). :)

IIRC, in the Gold Box/Silver Box games, they had hitting a held target as an auto-kill. Cue my spellcaster paralyzing a dragon, then throwing a single dart to annihilate them...

As a continuation of @Reynard's first post and @Snarf Zagyg's advice, rarely is there an adventure (or campaign!) that is totally dead/sunk/screwed up. There's often the chance to course correct, even mid way through, to get back to a place that's cool and exciting for the group. It's happened...

I will third Cortex Prime as a system that handles well what is generally meant by characters of different power 'levels.' The way I'd describe it is that each character is roughly equal on their ability to contribute and to move the story forward, even if their 'physical' power level in the...

Was playing around with "vibrant watercolour" as a base and thought these turned out quite nicely. Adding this character to my "next character to play" pile. :)

Nice! What style are these? Vibrant watercolour sketch or something similar? :)

While I concur that it doesn't fully fit the original concept of the class, I would like to note that in isolation I found the Artificer a very fun and capable class that I played from 1 to 20. It still has some of the vestiges of its origins (such as buffing magic items), and could be made to...

I cannot express nor necessarily understand why this is so darn delightful to me. Love it. :D

Given Top Secret was my first RPG, I'm always on the lookout for good spycraftian (and I do have Spycraft 1 and 2) action. Right now I'd probably run it using Cortex Prime (I was not overly excited with TS NWO).

Got a chance to update the Grade... it dropped slightly in its grade but remains quite top heavy in its results while also having great 'brand recognition' and a pretty good played score as well. :)

Hi all! I'm travelling and behind on updating the Grade on the opening post... aiming to get to that tonight! :)

So far I have only given the system a try in Blades in the Dark, and my experience was quite positive! I enjoyed the narrow but strong ‘mission based’ loop, the idea of flashbacks and downtime (and vices), the partial success/at cost mechanisms (and the idea of the devil’s bargain), and clocks...

Have you played or run the Forged in the Dark system? First introduced in the Blades in the Dark RPG, a CC licensed SRD was released and it now powers some 300+ games of all sorts of genres, including Band of Blades, Scum and Villainy, Beam Saber, CBR+PNK, Asphalt & Trouble, Crescent Moon...

Well, this one seems to have run its course. I'm a bit surprised at the low score, I guess it must have rubbed some the wrong way. Though the unfortunate about it not being introduced to newer/expanded crowds isn't so much about the rules (myself I would likely use a different system now) but...

Cool, thank you for that confirmation. That latter bit is one of my biggest concerns that it isn't finding a way to announce itself to a newer crowd. :/ (Something I wasn't able to really do either with the fanzine, though my marketing skills are... well, I might well have a negative stat...
