She's playing in the eldest's game.

In re hope gain... Due to ties being crit successes, 78/144 rolls generate hope, while 66/144 generate fear.

Point Hat (YouTuber) did a post-campaign review... but was a review of the beta rules; he edited some corrections in, but it's VERY much not current.

There are concerns with using the cards, I'm sure. Likewise, automating the dice outcomes. Some can't do those. It's not like the cards are a huge problem; the card format isn't essential. And the full text is in the book. Automating the 2d12 Disparity Dice is more of an issue. ALmost all can...

My wife refuses to try my current choices of systems: T2K, Tales from the Loop, Fallout, Alien... She'll play Dune, Star Wars, and several others. I finally decided to not accomodate her desires when I had buy in from the rest.

You're going to get a lot further on that score by simply getting the Trilogy. The Mechanoids:The Mechanoid Invasion::Mechanoid Space:Mechanoids Homeworld. Since Invasiona and Homeworld are in Trilogy... I'll note as well, the letter format The Mechanoids is slightly updated from TMI, but is...

The preview/quickplay released for it. I wound up with it at one point. The irony, despite their licenses ending, FOX lets them continue to sell PDF of BTVS, Angel, and AoD.

More than half my players have autism, I was recently (last 5 years) diagosed with autism as well. As an educator, I've seen a super high correlation with a need to understand why in my students with autism; I've also seen it in my player base. They want to know what correlates to advancement —...

Witchcraft doesn't need some of those splats... The Full Unisystem games are fully interoperable. The ones I remember by name being Witchcraft, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and Terra Primate. AFMB has a ton of splats. (Note: Unisystem Lite works a little differently, but is closely related; it's...

To a point, I'm the same way. I'm more interested in a Trek Like than a novel science fiction setting. I was excited for 2d20 STA when it released. I've run a bunch (a couple campaign-years of almost weekly sessions) of STA, and I like it. I like how it makes it easier to get my players to think...

One of the five settings is a clark-tech sci-fi/cyberpunk dystopia.

There is, present in the examples in 5th, but not explicit as a rule, the idea that PCs should be describing their tactics, and the GM having them make Saving Rolls to get bonuses to their damage. So, for example, if your fencer type wants to disarm his foe, the GM might set a level 3 SR on DX...

No; with my (heavily laden with neurodiverse individuals) player base, that devalues the advancement experience. And yet, none of the groups I know of locally like milestone.

Star Drive was a knockoff of Traveller. Stafall is a few hours shorter than Traveller jump, but is otherwise the same basic set of tropes Traveller has more tech levels, with the stellar levels being 9-16, where Alternity had only 10, and the stellar society level being (IIRC) 8 & 9. But both...

Similar, but if there's a free option on OSR, I nab it simply to see where the OSR is at.

Wed Fallout: Making Friends in Emerald Town.

Except that, in RPGs, the general reception seems to be that a relaunch of an old game that was once hot, even if it's really just a whole new game with the same name and a closely related setting, sells better than a better game by a different party. See also Twilight 2000 2e, 4e; D&D 3/4/5...

My problem is more conceptual, since I often have players miss due to tests or family drama.

I'll note that the abilities are more simply put together in what I've read of the class abilities vs their 5E comparisons (tho' some of the 5E Fighter ones are pretty simple, too). Part of that is putting them in card text, and relying upon common sense instead of detailed prosaic writing as...

GM Fiat leveling is a thing in D&D 5, and in Pugmire (a 5e derivative), the Renegade Studios' Essence 20 games (TF, MLP, GIJ), Final Fantasy ⅩⅣ TT. And a few other level-based games. Not that it's really anything new - there were people using fiat leveling in the 70's; it's just been in the...
