The TTRPG I regularly run that would handle the OP scenario in a structured way with subsystems is Savage Worlds. You could run it easily via its already mentioned dramatic tasks, as well as its quick encounters and social conflicts. I've had little problem runnning such scenrios in a timely...

I use Fantasy Grounds and Foundry and have previously used roll20, but I don't have a favorite. They all do some things well and others not so well, so IMO none is ideal. I'll ditto being able to support other game types like tabletop miniatures and board games. With true Player vs Player...

I've been homebrewing a Paleolithic setting for a while. It's set in the now extinct Berring land bridge, which historians refer to as Beringia. I was inspired by comment's by the coordinator of the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center, who wished there was a TTRPG which could support students...

There were a number of Pulp setttings, companions and adventures created for Savage Worlds. Triple Ace Games published their Daring Tales series and Adamant Entertainment has their Thilling Tales series. The latter has a companion of the same name that's a quality product with wide coverage of...

Yes this is what I do with a number of TTRPGs + the Battletech Alpha Strike miniatures rules. I tried GMing A Time of War (official Battletech RPG), but eventually neither my players or I cared for it. Tried 2 earler editions of MechWarrior too, but they both posed problems. I'm now running Mech...

I vote "yes", mostly because psionics is a big factor in one of my homebrewed settings and is present in others. That said, for me it really depends upon the setting and genre. I like powers/magic/weird tech to be thematifc in my homebrews and any prewritten setting I might use, so it really...

I've played the Terraforming Mars videogame and enjoyed it, but I'm not sure I'd want to RP in that world. I'd worry this is competition for my own IP which I hope to publish by 2026, but it's a different premise. The gritty and often times lethal aspect of terraforming is background in my...

Many thanks for that explanation Prunellas. I downloaded the QuestWorlds SRD and have been making a casual read of it. I'm interested in games with a more narrative style of play, which I'd describe the FATE and Cortex Prime I use, as being. I know I have a limited audience for such rules, as...

This is the 1st time I've heard of it as well, although I am a fan of Chaosium owning all the CoC7 core books, Basic Roleplaying UGE and the new Pendragon 6e. The description at chaosium.com and drivethru tell me next to nothing about the core play mechanics - no preview at DTRPG and the one at...

OK, my bad - I didn't scroll back to that post. I for one are glad that Smiteworks went with cloud hosting, as it's been very reliable for me for connecting players. Considering the cost of a full server (Ultimate), perpetual license costs half of what it did when they 1st intro'd FGU with...

Only if you launch your campaign in CLOUD mode. If you launch in LAN mode Smiteworks doesn't have anything to do with connections. I just launched a campaign in LAN mode with my router disconnected from the Internet and connected with a demo client running on my laptop, also disconnected from...

As I got into my post, I had a thought hat you might have meant that. That's why I included the last 2 paragraphs about LAN/Internet connections. Just know that FGU has 3 networking modes; LAN only (only up the LAN), directly connected Internet clients, clients connected via Internet cloud...

Ha ha. For sure I'm old school when it comes to the terms used in User Inteface design. Circles that you can click on & off is what we called radio buttons back in the early days of Windows programming. I don't know what a modern word for them would be?

Oh heck yeah. IME if you use lots of fan-made add ons for Foundry, you can be in for some fun. Personally, I've found FGU extensions to generally fair better for reliability. Part of that is no doubt due to FGU's seamless auto-update feature, which fan-made extensions uploaded to the Forge also...

FGU has only ever run locally. It's a locally run server application that runs on Windows, MacOS or Linux. It's because of the newer edition's use of the 3rd party Unity Engine that it's referred to as Fantasy Grounds Unity (FGU); previous edition is known as Fantasy Grounds Classic (FGC.)...

Do you know that for sure? I posed that question earlier and nobody ansered it. I've had canadian tax added on to purchases of PDFs I've bought from some USA online retailers. The same is true for digital VTT content I buy from Steam. That didn't start happening until after the free trade...

I'm going to agree with those who've already said the "C"drop was mostly due to RPGs on PCs and game Consoles becoming more mainstream. At least more mainstream than Tabletop RPGs. I'm early into my senior years, but even in my social circles RPG means a PC/Video game to most of my friends &...

I voted for Fantasy Grounds Unity, but in truth I'm fairly evenly split between it and Foundry. I own more content for FGU having used it longer and tend to run campaigns with it a bit more often. For overall features, I have a preference for Foundy. I've found the official and 3rd party...

Firstly, drivethru support requests are now handled by the roll20 support team. Since that's happened I've noticed a decline in the quality of responses to my queries. Also...I was told by a developer that adapted a ruleset for a competing VTT, that publishers that also retail their PDFs on...

What I'd like to know is if there'll be a difference between digital and print? For some time I've been only buying print for the CRB and on rare occassions, for a player companion/handbook . Being a Canadian, going forward I'm for sure going to focus on buying print & digita that are from a...
