The Closing Triangle "Dammit Caspian," Tabitha whispers as she watches the melee develop on the screen. The crew of the Nikolai Bukharin are still shaken by the sudden reversal with fear and anger etched on their faces as they watch mercenary pilots flicker out of existence, painfully out of...

Well, that tracks. Some discussions on EN about "what counts as an RPG" have dismissed certain systems because "they don't count as a game if there is no element of competition" so to some people D&D must be...errrm...competitive...??

Icon has fewer character "classes" than Gubat Banwa, so you could start there...

A post-lockdown piece on Joe Manganiello, with a brief (not very deep) check-in on his D&D campaign since it moved online. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/joe-manganiello-dungeons-dragons-magic-mike-xxl-true-blood-1235111072/

(Blades in the Dark) Accommodating captive kid. Still terrorists.

For all those people who said Degenesis failed because it put up all its RPG PDFs for free, these are more data points proving that making the pdfs free (or source material, in the case of SCP) isn't doomed to fail, but it does need to match the business model. I think the Degenesis studio just...

Consider putting a beta of your game on itch.io and itchfunding to get to a funding goal (like getting to print). https://www.geeknative.com/135597/stressful-and-exciting-an-end-of-the-line-rpg-guide-to-itchfunding/

For Ras Shamra and Rittermeer Despite the earlier failure to land a solid hit on the Nikolai Bukharin, the Titania and its escorts are still doing more work than any other Purview battlegroup in this engagement. Amidst a firestorm of secondary turret fire and mech weaponry, the Titania's...

Only one white guy plays RPGs! This is based on my observation of roleplayers...here in Malaysia.

LANCER rewards grappling slow friendly units. It's like the "Toss me" moment in Peter Jackson's The Two Towers.

Places, Places Battlegroup Eland is now at Range 5. Battlegroup Splinter is now at Range 3. Caspian looks at the plot in annoyance, "I appreciate the sentiment Colonel but I am considerably more worried about getting picked apart or boarded by these pests." He highlights the sole surviving...

I'm happy to see Cepheus and even 2300AD mentioned in this thread. Traveller is an important branch of early traditional RPG development because of how it builds characters that broaden their abilities and skillsets, instead of making them exponentially powerful through level-ups. Certainly not...

Then there's LANCER: Battlegroup, in which players and NPCs control dozens of capital ships and hundreds of fighters and mechs. Positioning is abstracted into six range bands on the gyre map, because when fleets are tens or hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, and a single round of fighter...

I started this thread to see if we can get one or more definitions on a local level. Call it the "'Berlin Interpretation' Interpretation." There can be lots of definitions and interpretations out there! Most of the world interprets "RPG" to be a single-player, GM-less experience - run by a...

looks at a Google Image Search So they are the same as hexes.

Staggered squares - aren't those functionally the same as hexes?

One of my favourites is the job-switching system from some of the Final Fantasies - Tom Parkinson-Morgan tips the hat to the Job system by literally calling his combat classes "Jobs" in ICON. Also, having character builds that have a specific function (defend, control, damage or support), with...
