A slightly older selfie (lighting courtesy of antique lamps).

Superman, Fantastic Four, and 28 Years Later (in that order).

D&D Basic Set (B/X) at a garage sale.

Eh. I had no issues with it. I mean, it didn't blow me away but I've seen much, much worse over the years. It's ultimately a matter of personal taste, I think.

You can play Night's Black Agents as a straight spy thriller (just drop the vampires). It's a very, very, good game.

I picked up some extra cash from fixing some computer account issues today, so after I bought some groceries, I picked up Rasyr's Fantasy Express Lite and a copy of Adventure Perilous.

When I was growing up in Kansas, it was "pop" - but everywhere I've lived since then, it's been "soda". So, for me, it's now "soda".

I use "Debrau Initiative" (named after my old Star Wars WEG GM). Basically, in combat, players take turns starting with the person seated to the left or right of the GM and rotating clockwise or counterclockwise (the GM may shake this up at their discretion). Characters get one action each by...

It depends on the game. In my horror/weirdness games, my goal is to reach and maintain this tempo (Caution! NSFW because of violence!): My fantasy games tend to be much less frantic.

For me, it was the copious amounts of malt liquor and the Manowar (played on 10, of course).

That might be difficult. While Maelstrom is technically still in print, it's through a different publisher. I think the original designers are no longer involved with the TTRPG industry.

Maelstrom Storytelling used/uses a die pool system where only odds count as successes vs. a target number. It's a legitimate system.

My current house system, Front Range Minimalist, is complete in three pages (there is a supplement of character creation and world-building options). I love it. It's very much inspired by PbtA (the dice) and Risus (the descriptors). Perfect for one-offs and short campaigns. PM me if you'd like...

Anything that isn't current edition official D&D or current edition World of Darkness, sadly.

See post #10 for a list of systems I'm interested in running. :)

That was what I meant by weighting Roll20's steep learning curve against utility. Roll20's isn't hard to learn, but it also isn't easy to learn and its suite of tools is kind of... meh (especially for what you pay and the amount of learning you have to put in). IME, anyway. Some of the other...

Haha. Yes. HarnMaster probably. Maybe Blood & Bone. Possibly Champions and/or Fantasy Hero. The only thing I really plan on playing in person in the foreseeable future is Star Frontiers, and that's because I invested in a Megamat and a bunch of starship minis for space combat (via Knight Hawks).

Wow! Thanks for the detailed answer!
