    Werewolf: The Apocalypse Reboots The Moonlight

    Pity. Thanks for the reply. Just so that I am not misunderstood as a grumpy oWoD (old World of Darkness) nutcase: 1. I have had high expectations for both v5 Vampire and all other reinvented products. Generally, a shared urban fantasy ecosystem with transplanted lore and logical in-game...

    Werewolf: The Apocalypse Reboots The Moonlight

    Have they finally added more usable content on building campaigns with regards to the broader context of WoD? In other words: - are Garou finally compatible with vampires and mages with regard to mechanics, powers, world foundation myths? Can I finally run a game without constant...

    By the way, I have asked ChatGpt to rewrite the text as if they were several different writers. Here's Stephen King: ---- The freakiest damn thing in the world, I guess, is how our brains just can't seem to connect all the freaky dots. We're like living on this little boring island of...

    133 years ago...

    Folks, 133 years ago, on 20th of August, in the year of 1890, a writer was born: The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not...

    Dice pool game design woes

    Apologies, I wasn't precise - the data is spread over a few freely available downloads. Start with Creator's Kit: https://gilarpgs.itch.io/slayers-creator-kit Then head to Slayers by Gila RPGs, scroll down to Rules reference and character sheets. Between the two you get everything besides...

    Dice pool game design woes

    @Morrus I have toyed with a few dicepool mechanics in my Storyteller and Year Zero eras. Probably best implementation is to be found in Slayers (Slayers by Gila RPGs) - I cannot recommend enough the game. A must read for any modern dicepool designer. Here are a few observations: 1. For...

    PbtA Games: Sell One Well +

    City of Mist: you're a human implanted with a myth. This can range from literal plot armor, to a huge tentacled friend, to a legacy of a knight of a round table. This is not pure PbtA as the story is not created by character actions. Mechanically, a character is composed of four cards, each...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Farewell to Arms, Out of the Maw, Psychic Kids, and more

    I feel that CNGH is a huge risk. But the names of people involved made me back the project. The things that I would add to the project: 1. Structured proposal for continued development - there should be a promise of a site with SRD (or at least a GITHUB project) for this. Actually, creating a...

    D&D General PETITION: Acknowledge Hasbro's hurtful content (Black orcs, Asian yellow orcs, Native American red orcs)—through an Amendatory Bundle [+ thread]

    (IMHO) 1. Existing disclaimer is fine. 2. Drive Thru RPG should annotate the product with highly visible tag: #raciallyinsensitivecontent. 3. Instead of curating hundreds of works, which would require a lot of time, would invite disputes as to the sound judgement of moderators, just allow...

    D&D General PETITION: Acknowledge Hasbro's hurtful content (Black orcs, Asian yellow orcs, Native American red orcs)—through an Amendatory Bundle [+ thread]

    Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana Book burning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning These sum my thoughts on the subject.

    Naming Fey characters

    Assuming that you have a divide of the Fey into Courts, Houses and Station, you could create elaborate naming scheme that refers to these: I am Court-adjective Court-noun. I am Court-verb Court-adjective Court-noun. Station-name. Of House-name. For example: (Spring Court minor clerk and...

    Paizo News: Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Hits One Million Copies Sold

    Question for someone who played Wrath of the Righteous: Has the game got the same silly artifacts as Kingmaker? Camping (Pathfinder: Kingmaker - Camping Guide), Friendly Fire (spells), etc.

    D&D 5E (2024) RPG Evolution: The Art of the Apology

    The original initiative to re-invent OGL had to pass through many hands and get an approval from higher-ups. It was not a random, impulsive or incidental blunder - it was a premeditated action on a part of a major business entity. Taking responsibility for such action requires rebuilding...

    OSR Are There Any OSR (or OSR-adjacent) Games With Modern Sensibilities?

    If I were to run a game in Game of Thrones world: - Forgotten Lands. If I were to run a games in a realistic fantasy world, like Symbaroum, with some mysticism, magic that comes at a cost, and wuxia thrown in: - WwN, with Legacies (aka demigod levels) If I were to run games in typical D20...

    OSR The Monster Overhaul

    I concur, the monster entries are awesome. And by monsters I mean creatures like mercenaries and goblins. Thanks to activity, motivation and other feature tables, the book is usable under other fantasy systems.

    A Review of Blade Runner

    Note: With regard to art style, Coriolis preceded Blade Runner. As for the system, this version is slightly superior as it makes pro characters more reliable.
