For me the recommendations would be Foundry or Owlbear. Do you want a powerful engine you can heavily customize but might have to turn half of it off, but for which “there’s a mod for that” is the answer to most if your unmet needs? Or do you want a chat box, a pretty picture to set the mood...

Even years before Daggerheart came out I liked the idea of getting the players to describe what they see for me. Give a few mood triggers for a scene, then have them fill it out. I always struggled for ways to do the obvious without actually doing it - Daggerheart just suggests directly asking...

My biggest problem with Otherscape is that so far every game I have found running it is running Shadowrun setting using the Otherscape rules. ;) The game is "almost literally" Shadowrun with simpler rules. Probably a better setting too, since it hasn't retconned itself and I don't believe it's...

I'm almost wanting to say "nothing." Over the years it seems like every attempt eventually gets too complicated to run. In theory I think the best example I have seen is City of Mist - but I don't own it yet, I own another game in the same line: Legend in the Mist, so this is based on an...

Me too. But it is true that a LOT of DH players and GMs are coming from D&D and their idea of fantasy is whatever is in a WotC book, rather than literary or mythology based. So while that's the last thing I want, everyone else at many tables wants it first.

This. I did buy the Pathfinder 2E playtest - in print form in a local store. But charging for a playtest PDF. That's unethical. That alone might cause me to pass on M&M, and for a few years it was the main thing I ran and played. As for finances. If that's an issue - you use kickstarter...

"Skynet" has been here for about a decade. It's just a random set of memes instead of a hostile killer computer.

Lace and Steel. I barely remember the rules but recall they were interesting. However any game who's core ancestries includes Satyr needs to be more popular in my opinion. :) That it was one of 3, alongside human and "I forget", made it all the better. A tight core where each therefore had room...

Not on this forum but on some other software I was using in the last year the report and reply were side by side and so yeah... I hit the wrong one a few times. Thank goodness over here report is on the opposite side of the interface. :) EDIT: Right next to the edit button so the mods here can...

Do you want the genre to be action or the gameplay to be action/tactical. If you want deep story in an action genre - City of Mist (modern ley key with mystic powers) or Otherscape (Cyberpunk but where mythology from around the world is trying to creep into reality). So those are both 'magic...

See we would have thrown any kid that cheated at monopoly right out of the house. The first time I met anyone that figured the idea of doing that could be acceptable was around the year 2000 or so from the author of BESM on his then forum. Had never seen it in boardgames as a kid or after. I...

That said, I am very "let down" by the move to not use DH for their main show. As I've said elsewhere, we learned we're the sidechick. We always knew, but now it's just out there. It will take a lot of the steam out of DH's momentum to see that it's own publisher mainly focuses elsewhere, even...

Just a clickbait title. Folks may hate that but if you don't clickbait your title YouTube sends your visibility off to Gitmo - even for your subscribers. If I see "OMG the world just ended" as a YouTube title, I check the name. If I know they're not insane, I'll watch it. And that guy isn't...

These days everyone keeps saying the bad writing encouraged them to houserule a lot. For us back in 1980 it just meant reading better. After all, the hobby was new. And why would I cheat at AD&D if I wouldn't cheat while playing Chess, Basketball, or Tag? The idea that houserules weren't...

I highly suspect this thread isn't meant for me - a person who actually does NOT want to play 1E. I suspect the thread is more meant as humor and fond memory digging for those who do want it. But... here I go anyway. Oops. I've never understood people who said it was confusing and hard to...

Oh and they (well a fan made it, and then they linked to it on their discord) just launched a character creator app: https://mist.altervayne.io/

Yeah I've found some decent actual plays going on. It's also got 3 Reddits (one for each game in the system family), a discord, and already has Foundry support for all 3 of it's games. Granted the system is so light that the Foundry is very basic. I'm less worried for a game like this than I...

Yeah I've just noticed that when I watched them show a gamplay demo of it. The more I see of their three systems the more I'm liking it. I do find it curious that Legend in the Mist was voted 'most anticipated game of 2025', is number 2 on DriveThru, but seems to have landed largely to...

That description is how I see Daggerheart minus only the word 'rustic' as that to me is a term in search of a definition when it comes to RPGs. :) But I do think a lot of people have a more action focused view of Daggerheart than I do, and the classes do as well. But both DH and CitM focus on...

While the reasons you didn't like it might very well have stayed true other wise... yes. You got handed 2 classes that I would NEVER hand a new player. The fact that you ended up with both of the worst possible classes to hand a new player is very bad luck. I have no idea if you would have...
