OMG! Snarf is an assassin?? He said he just was on vacation!

Too often and too late, as I click a thing, i think, "Why am I clicking that thing?"

What he was or was not 5 to 8 years ago is irrelevant to what he very clearly is today. People change, and opinions of people change; there's nothing weird or mysterious about that.

Yeah, that's kinda why I'm also wondering about Hostile. Since it's based on Cepheus, I think it'll be close enough to Traveller to be pretty familiar, while I think also including some sort of panic mechanic. But I'll find out soon enough: I went ahead and ordered a copy of Hostile Solo for a...

Thanks everyone for the info! I really appreciate your time and insights, this is all very helpful.

Oh yeah, another good call. Somehow I never played more than a few sessions of Traveller in all these years, and only just picked up (finally!) a facsimile version of THe Traveller Book this past summer. It's been great fun to experience an actual old game "for the first time" again.

Who is "we"? And what is "cleansing"?

My excuse for keeping so many books is that they'll make a fine funeral pyre.

This raises a question: How Musk is too Musk?

Good call, I'd forgotten about Blade Runner. Definitely another one to consider.

Thanks for the input. Do you recall if the game is strongly tied to a particular setting, or is it pretty neutral in that respect?

Got it, thanks for the info.

Oh! I didn't realize Mothership was pwyw, thanks for the heads up. Do you know which books comprise the core rules? Is the game playable with just the players guide, or is the warden's ops manual also a core book? I admit I'm a little confused about just how the whole MOthership game is put...

Whatever the setting, we'll see the return of XP for GP dogecoin.

TO be sure, "not good" doesn't have to relate to making money. It could relate to employee safety and treatment, customer service, environmental or community responsibility, investor accountability, and so forth. All those things can be "not good" and still result in tons of money being made...

Aaand now D&D is getting sucked into the nonsensical vortex of money-bro meme stonks. Just great.

It's a RPG genre I'm not too familiar with, but I'm interested in picking up a game to learn. I kind of prefer lighter weight games, but strong genre mechanics are also important, imo, for such worlds with such atmospheric settings. In poking around, I've seen a quite a lot about Alien and...

I can sympathize. I've always been a minimalist, and gone through a couple major purges. For the most part, i don't really regret anything I've gotten rid of, though I have reacquired a handful of things here and there. However, what I've found in the last ten years or so, as I've played so...

Presumably he'll insist on reintroducing an even edgier, modernized Harlot Table in this brave new edition of Doges & Dragons.

I used an otyugh as a local crime boss named Glarbage Gligh, aka "Mister G". His organization was mostly a smuggling ring, though he could make pretty much anything or anyone disappear for a price. Payment for his services generally involved some combo of gold (for his henchmen) and a big bag of...
