5e is a great edition. The tools were very handy, and being free allowed me to get a number of new gamers to buy into RPGs in general and 5e in particular. Like having a friendly cousin who'd help you get your sheet right, or tie your skates on before you get onto the ice. I would welcome...

I'm a new publisher myself, with my first solo DCC RPG-compatible product up now on DrivethruRPG: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/143780/Wrath-of-the-Frost-Queen That title is all me. As in aaaaaaallll me: Writing, illustration, layouts, InDesign, everything. Some feedback from others...

I want to play a Space Fantasy style game, one where the players pick a fantasy archetype and put "space" on it. Space Magic would be The Force (basically psionics), swords would be light sabres, ranged weapons would be blasters, there's storm troopers, clones, droids, Jedi and Sith; but they'd...

I... this is great. "Are... are we bad guys?" "Nah, we're punk rock, right?"

Jedi-centric vs. Cinematic: I don't understand how these are mutually exclusive. Wouldn't Jedi by default involve things like jumping from (space) trains, or (space) car chases, or (space) sword fights? FFG: I'm super broke. Plus I've always wanted to use all my RPG books for a campaign...

It sounds like you want to give him the most iconic D&D experience ever, but also catering to what you think he would get a kick out of? You're at once drawing on your own relationship, plus your gaming mythology, for what you think he would like. Yoda would ask something appropriately...

EDIT: I had a brain-explosion and wrote the third post, so I re-did the title to be more clear. I've always wanted to try out Star Wars as a game, but I've never liked how the systems make Jedi unreasonably powerful, so that even all-Jedi games aren't fun to GM. I had a padawan use...

neat! Fun concept. Looked at the write up. Could use more info, including playtest scenarios. Bookworm has the older class name "bookie" in the first info block. Honcho has only one skill, iirc. Also, interrupting or cancelling someone else's move will be abused by players. I can see it...

AGREED! And thank you, Queenie, you too! :D I'm in the new house, with a new kitten, and my computer is finally set up. Drawback? Can't find my wacom tablet and stylus, which I have been using as a mouse for some time. That's... really not good.

Agreed. Never played fate, but I've designed a system or three at home

Merry Christmas, folks! I know I'm lurking, but I'm extra lurky for the next bit (sudden moving over the holidays... yay?). Anyone get some nice booty in their treasure chests this ye-arrr? I got a 5th ed DM's guide. It looks great. I've noticed the edition is less... numbers-add-up than...

Big day! Woo, got accepted by a program that will try to help me get... well, into a different program... Okay, it doesn't sound huge, but it's phase one complete! And it is gaming related, just mysterious... And fade to crew would be great. I'll keep you lot posted. Basically I'm creating...

FYI: neat setting, and I'll keep lurking. I would also like to keep picking people's brains for other material, as I have been. I'd like to keep posting, I'm just not sure it's fair to the group while my schedule and ability to keep up is so up in the air.

Hi all! Yeah, ten days is way too long. Honestly, I completely forgot about my pbp games. I think I ought to bow out. I'm not used to being this busy, with pbp being my usual RPG outlet, but I'm just not keep ing up with most of my games. Sorry folks!

And apparently I rolled a 19 naturally, so either way! :D I hope we don't have any actual Latvians reading this, and having their feelings hurt. If we do: all depictions of character acitons are based upon assumptions of what they would have thought in the 16th century! 1700s nautical...

While Doctor Varlock has been acting rum-soaked, he had barely touched what drinks he'd held earlier. Still, the Latvian mercenary not budged as easily as Varlock had expected, and it seemed clear the man was up to something. Was he holding onto his chair? Some kind of potion for strength...

Varlock takes a moment to flex, then wobbles again in his chair before putting his arm back down. Seeming to collect his focus again, he slurs out I better not flex too much before we do this: I lose too many coats when my muscles burst the sleeves! Hah! No, no, no, I wear the coat so I'm not...

For the comment to Nia, I was thinking that Varlock was standing next to her ("the crew"), so that her comment to Katarina would be in ear shot. Also he's got, y'know, supernatural abilities including telepathy (I share this ooc, but we can bring it up IC when the party does our thing), so...

Games: I've recently been introduced to Skyrim, and it's pretty neat. The best part, though, is that the game has been "opened to the public" for mods and additions, by the company that makes the game (Bethesda). The mod community has the usual nsfw additions you'd expect, sure, but for the...

ooc: Varlok's black spot is on his left arm, which is covered by his coat, with long sleeves and a fingerless-glove over his hand. IC: Varlok sees the rowdy mercenaries speaking ill to the Captain, and gives Nia a nod and leans in to whisper. Follow the watcher while I draw attention...
