If you are tracking fuel for your spaceships, I would make takeoff / landing very fuel expensive.

Players play for lots of different reasons. Some players play to tell a story. Others play to have a story told to them. Some players play to overcome tough obstacles or tactical challenges. Others play to feel cool and powerful. Some players play to pass the time with their friends and throw...

No, that's The originals. Alphas was about people who had, mostly somewhat believable minor superpowers, but that came with drawbacks of the mental health variety.

I did not think that Chilling Tales was preachy, so much as I thought that many of the characters are overtly sexist. Although, that some of them are demons or otherwise fanatically inclined makes that somewhat less surprising. I didn't watch Riverdale, mostly because I don't have enough time...

Probably the latter, though I did play a few of these games (Beyond the Supernatural, Call of Cthulhu, Kult, Dark Conspiracy, and World of Darkness) concurrently, so maybe that counts for something.

You forgot an (s) on the end of player(s). The DM is one of the players.

Absolutely they should. There is no reason that the DM should expect everyone to be 100% focused on them the whole time. If the phone user is not disrupting play or bothering the other players, leave them be.

So... In relative private, I have absolutely zero filter. For a game at home, or with those that I consider my friends, I would definitely not use this. Those who are sensitive to any subject at all are safer and will be better off if they simply avoid my company. For a game in public (on the...

Excellent! I cannot wait to see what sort of terrible things happen to your player characters.

Nothing to see here.

So... You did get the playtest document. And you did not give them any personal information for it? So you got it for free. Good job. You have proved that it is free.

There is the Five Fires RPG which is focused on hip hop music and its surrounding culture, which may be of use to you.

Probably not, no. Much like the Star Wars RPG is inextricably linked to West End Games and Wizards of the Coast, due to their past handling of that license, the Robotech RPG will always be linked to Palladium Games. Any discussion of Robotech will inevitably include mentions of Palladium.

So for a VTT solution, particularly when everybody is on the VTT, almost any one will probably do well enough. I like Maptool due to its programmability, but it does lack in ease of use. Roll20 is pretty adequate, but very easy to use. I have not tried FantasyGrounds. When you have some...

I have never suffered any occasion where I was unable to suspend disbelief.

I stole a thing from Zak Smith for my goblins, they being the personification of bad ideas. Whenever someone (including another goblin) has a bad idea, a goblin is born (through spontaneous biogeneration). The type of goblin is determined by the general nature of the idea. Most bad ideas result...

On Thursday, I'm going to be starting Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Next Monday, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I have started (about six months ago, or so) doing live reading streams on Twitch, of these books that I've been mentioning in the "What Are you Reading Now"...

Yes. It is a nonsense word (used initially some posts back) to refer to some unspecified act, group, or device that might be used offensively, ostensibly to avoid getting caught up in the specifics of said act, group, or device.

I have played with between dozens and hundreds of different DMs. Most of whom were very nice, but they have all been people.

I have not read the new installment yet, but I wanted to stop in quickly and say that I am so glad that there are further updates. This Story Hour has been very cool
