There were times it was more tricky than others. Being willing to play one or two down makes a big difference. Kids are now mostly grown up or at least in the age bracket where they don’t need their parents every day.

It works out on a practical level similar total play-time as playing 2-3 hours per week, but only gaming every 3-4 weeks is easier to arrange for us when everyone has family and work commitments.

We played online during Covid and it was a life-saver for our gaming and mental health. But we reverted back to f2f once the situation improved to the point where we were all comfortable being in the same room for 10 hrs (our normal play pattern was a 10 hr session on a weekend every 3-4 weeks)...

This was my super hero system back in the day so I may have to pick this up for nostalgia if nothing else…

That looks like the original box set to me.

Guess he’s a 10 on the Mohs scale…

A couple of things come to mind on that thread, one general and one specific to the Narrative Dice System that FFG uses. In general, this kind of flow does not have to be mandated by the system. The GM can totally run other games with a similar flow to movies; it is my default style. Zoom in on...

WotC seem to be keen on multi-media leveraging of the D&D brand so they need to do something with their IP in a different media at some point…

I haven’t played the FFG Star Wars systems recently, but I do recall that gear was potentially still a thing in that system. And I think sci-fi particularly prone to this dilemma due to some things being extremely expensive and the assumption of a large economy. My players joke about it in the...

I’m talking about my experiences - ask them about theirs

That was the game we were playing, and he knew that but didn’t understand the implications until it was explained. Now we all get it and when we are playing genre games we stick with them.

I’m in a similar space, though with D&D rather than PF1. I’ll still use Savage Worlds for pulp fantasy but I think TBE may well become my go-to for gritty fantasy.

There will be one more live stream tonight before the finish…

I had a similar thing running Firefly a few years back. The party were in a saloon on some planet and a fist-fight started. One of the players reached for his gun to open fire because “that’s the highest attack skill I have” but I stopped the scene and explained that ‘bar brawls and fist fights...

If people are interested in The Broken Empires (which seems really cool to me, and I’m already backing it) there is an AMA scheduled for tonight (if Trevor’s internet is fixed :(). For some reason the imbed isn’t working for this, here’s a link. The system has a really interesting combo of...

Trevor has been collecting opinions on what people want to know more about, so I am sure there will be some more videos talking about those things between now and the conclusion. And if he has said everything, I’m personally already sold. 🙂 The system is a fresh gumbo of juicy RPG mechanics...

I would think quite a bit more than that - the 48hr reminders usually trigger another bigger wave of backers. $500k might be achievable and I bet Trevor has a number of YT videos to go out and build interest in the final week, too.

Very nice … and Amazon one-click

I met one Ian Livingstone and one Steve Jackson at this year’s UKGE… But couldn’t see a second SJ… 🤔

Steve Jackson wrote at least one of them under the pseudonym of Steve Jackson…
