Through a Glass Darkly, Part 2 The GM calls for a perception roll on a d20. The roll: 10. Success. It seemed like a coincidence that the same shifty old woman was going their way from the transit platform, but after two junctions and a short flight of stairs, it becomes clear that the woman is...

13th Age hits my desired level of complexity as well. At every step you mention. But: The organisation of the book is a bit weird, and it makes a few assumptions that only make sense if you've played a version of D&D before you get to 13th Age. It could use an improved rulebook, to be honest.

Through a Glass Darkly, Part 1 Half an hour later, the doors of the transit car open at the Magnolia Gardens platform, one of the main population hubs on Toroid 1 of the station. Caspian, Tabitha and scores of other disembarking military personnel join the flow of foot traffic along the wide...

Station Change, Part 5 Caspian nods in acknowledgement and turns to the pile of summaries, reviewing after-action reports and news articles. Tabitha won't like this, he thinks, taking a sip of his coffee, the commander of Battlegroup Eland has always been an idealist and seems to take the...

Most doggies don't like getting "fixed." I imagine the werewolf barbarian didn't like it much either!

Station Change, Part 4 As 5019U turns to 5020U, a hand-picked strike force of Union warships explodes out of nearlight within the defensive sphere of DS1 Harrison's World, the Armory's industrial center in the Shore. The UNS-BB Blyde River Canyon slashes through the Armory's Planetwatch...

I used to work in computer game development (MMORPGs) and I can't see one good thing NFTs or blockchain could do in that area either. This guy I once worked with had a video talking about it:

Thanks for the info!

Could you summarise the gist of the mini-campaign? What challenges are the PCs supposed to face?

(For The Queen) Gave queen plague, saved queen.

Whovians are a very passionate lot! I'm not so surprised. I bet a lot of the fans of the existing Who RPG are experiencing "edition war" feelings... My two cents: D&D is about solving all kinds of problems, including combat. But the most involved part of the problem-solving engine is...

Exactly the same here. Started playing with AD&D, started GMing with Fighting Fantasy, Basic/Expert, and Ghostbusters RPG. Now I do a mix of storygaming (Blades in the Dark et al) and tactical combat RPGs (Lancer). I've transitioned my games entirely online due to Covid (my partner is...

Sillier than a Dalek!

Surely you're not suggesting the COO is uninformed about the efficiency of a technology his company is about to dive headlong into 😉

Kickstarter COO Sean Leow talks with a reporter from The Beat about Kickstarter's controversial blockchain strategy, which is alarming many creators, including game creators. The reporter asks some pretty technical questions about the efficiency and reversibility concerns around blockchain. And...

There's no immortality cultivation in the old kung fu RPG Weapons of the Gods either, except as a plot device. Immortality is for the bad guys. That said, former D&D YouTuber CJ Leung did a good job discussing Cultivation as a magic system here:

The DreamSEA Bundle is an itch io sale bundle of 10 tabletop roleplaying games from 10 independent creators from across Southeast Asia, running the gamut of genres and styles: games with GMs and without; themes of mystery, memory, heartbreak, homesickness, and battle beyond the stars...

Yeah, and the global supply chain crisis, as discussed in the recent Extra Credits thread... Still, I'd expect a bit more meat in the box set at that price. https://www.enworld.org/threads/extra-credits-tabletop-industry-extinction-level-event.686114/#post-8548899

One factor behind the rise of NFTs is related to the culture of a niche of people who have what this article calls "money as a hobby." Ugh. https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22922511/crypto-nfts-sports-betting-money-hobby The overlap between tabletop hobby gamers and these "money as a hobby"...

There was a TIME article about the shipping crisis and its impact on board games, back in September 2021. There was a quote from one of the DUST 1947 people, predicting that they would go under because of this crisis. Shortly after, they did! https://time.com/6096497/board-games-shipping-crisis/
