There are too many IPs, causing many of us to lose... Hey, Look! Squirrel! Woof! WOOF! uh...

It's still a restricted GM style. And that's very non-Trad. It's probably the biggest step away from D&D, and the one that is most likely to both be a stumbling block and to be house ruled away. One of my groups is likely to take full advantage, and generate mayhem. The other? Not so much.

Sunday group Fallout Sess 3 So, they decided to crawl over the wall and into the area mostly burned out and still largely uninhabited... one, the courthouse blew over and largely buried. (Between sessions I figured out just where the hits landed.) So... the Chef Handy, Gordon Morimoto, goes in...

Fallout was session 3 of 3 for the group, but 6th session run, not counting session 0 sessions as sessions, and each group had 1 of those. What was it? A separate Mr. Handy hit location table: RollLocation(Considering changing to) 1Left Eyestalk1 2Center Eyestalk2 3Right Eyestalk3...

More than 90% of people I've gamed with own at least 2 RPGs. Almost everyone since 2008 has read at least part of the D&D PHB or the SRD, or the D&D Basic Rules. Even since about 2001, most have at least read part of the SRD. I'd say at least half of all the gamers I've played with since 1995...

I like "Procyonids" far more than "Aroughcoune" which, aside from spelling with an ou instead of oo, is going to have the same issue as raccoon at least half the time. Plus, Procyonid allows for "ringtailed cats", coatis, olingos, and kinajous...

Given that the GM can call for rolls, set scenes, but doesn't get to use NPCs until someone gets fear or the GM spends fear, or triggers them to act, its right out there with Apocalypse World. In that aspect, it's more narrativist than Fate is. (Pun intended). Fate, NPCs are given normal...

Compared to D&D? Even to VTM? I've friends who love it... but none of them play it much anymore.

Sunday Fallout: Looting; Assaultron Salesman — American Dollars!

Fate isn't GMless. Nor are FFG Star Wars, Burning Wheel, Burning Empires, Mouse Guard, any of the 2d20 games... Daggerheart... They're all in the same zone of the GSN graph...the corner of the center triangle along the GN line, a bit from the edge.

You're making a far more gross generalization: that "has read" requires "has bought." I've read more systems than I've bought. Until she met me, my wife had never read any rulebooks other than HSR 4. before we were dating, she borrowed and read my WFRP. Many of my players have borrowed and read...

It's growing on me as I read it. The usual shorthand in the PNW is a deep south denigration term for persons of African ancestry. same; my groups don't mind that hybrid space. Several of my former players do. it's becoming more commonly seen, with 2d20 systems all being pretty closely to...

CJ Carella's Witchcraft was probably killed because it was in direct competition with the publisher's new licenses: BTVS and Angel. Plus, anything for AFMBE is compatible with Witchcraft.

Goths went away? (Thinks of 20-something player's very goth little sister, now in high school, still rocking black, black lace, black eyeliner & lipstick, pale base, straight out of the VTM corebook look, except for the fangs)

Usenet predates the public internet by more than a decade. I know that alt.rec.frp was going strong in spring 1988 when I got to college. And had several subs - alt.rec.frp.dnd alt.rec.frp.misc I never even heard of Amateur Press Association until the 1990s... but I had products with Lee Gould...

I've yet to walk into a game store or national chain bookstore which has only D&D - most have Pathfinder, as well; prior to the Asmodee/FFG cluster—«BLEEP», most of them had Star Wars as well. Paizo being in the Book trade lane gets it most of the same places as D&D.

Are you describing the new one or the existing? Because the existing (pre-Rebellion) is a two mechanic game: Combat: dice based upon weapons, adds to them by attribute, only open-ending if berserk. Non combat: 2d6, doubles open end recursively, add attribute, compare to TN.

And in DB, the GM can bonus or penalty your skill level.

It seems pretty ingrained by upper elementary kids.

A natural outgrowth of the unified progression of 3E...
