Im.not sure how either of those things apply. In Watchmen, no one is super (well,one guy, buy I don't think Manhattan is a PC). And in The Boys, everyone but the PCs is super.

Cozy at least is a genre that is up and coming in TTRPGs.

While I agree,I have long wanted to try and run a "you are supers but no one else is" campaign and just see what happens. I have never had the opportunity tho.

As one does.

What if they are audibly silent but can still be sensed? A wrongness in the area or a sensation of chill (classic ghost stuff)?That way you could still utilize "perception checks" to whatever degree you wanted, but not make them make noise.

I was sort of trusting (general) you to be able to figure it out yourselves....

I don't think rating a thing needs to be in comparison to anything else. I liked Superman 2025. Great fun movie. I don't need to rate it in comparison to any of the other Superman things.

I just assumed you were prepping or writing for Pirate Borg.

That first one is Empire of Blue Water, btw. Which looks really great. Thanks! (I have read the other two.)

I really need a new audiobook for my commute. I have kind of run out of WW2 era espionage books, and books about the history of video games, comics and RPGs. I need a really compelling nonfiction narrative but no true crime.

Yeah, it seems very strange to me that some people think OSR=low level and that's the defining feature.

I went with 5 as well. It's... fine, I guess, but also not fine in places. And after I finish my current campaign I won't be running it again (and it is probably my last 5E campaign overall).

The books certainly look great.

On a scale of 1-10. EDIT: where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best. Just a simple, non-scientific poll. Of course, if you have more nuanced opinions, that's what the thread is for! EDIT: Also, I made sure you can change your vote, for the wishy washy among us.

A genre I just can't seem to care about: anything "cozy." I need stakes.

That is a helpful explanation. Thank you.

Session 3 of our Age of Umbra campaign last night -- which started as a "test the system" one shot, then a "pick up game" second session and now is the campaign. I need to remember to implement more clocks, both short and long term. Otherwise I am starting to get a good feel for spending fear...

What I mean is that a TTRPG cannot, by definition, require more GMs than players. At the very best, it is 1:1 and that is exceedingly rare.

4E definitely does not qualify for this discussion.

This is why I advocate for talent trees in a theoretical 6E. Have fewer classes and let the player decide how to specialize (or not). Just don't have trap options or dead chains.
