Not worried about being too permissive or restrictive, the checks aren't really the point (sorry I should have phrased the question better - "what do you think of that Weakness dynamic?" would have been better). ;) Just curious to hear folks' thoughts on that particular rule and the specific...

So here's a little puzzle using the Weakness system that came up in our last session. One of our players' characters has a Weakness of "Gullible," and another has "Overbearing." The Gullble character was "convinced" by a story that the rest of the party thought was dangerous if she decided to...

I dunno. As long as there’s enough room in the tree, you could show games that were developed in parallel or branched off from each other. And then we can all argue about what spawned what. :ROFLMAO: Those arguments will, of course, be the most intense around any Forge games. ;) It’s more a...

We’re gonna need a bigger tree! 😊

My understanding is that a Magic Book is also in the works.

Is there any way to get to it without Instagram?

I know you're coming here late and all, but the very first sentence of the article has a link to how nominations work. You seem angry. if you want a game to be nominated, you need to nominate it.

Just what I was thinking. VERY cool.

Not sure, it was whatever the current default is at the url.

Has anyone ever played a game where a PC has been co-opted mentally and the GM takes the player aside and makes an agreement about the behavior? I seem to remember some games like this. Sorta like The Thing when they have been absorbed by the creature and are now infiltrating the rest of the...

Has anyone ever done a family tree for RPGs over time similar to the ones done for computer programming languages awhile back? It’d be an interesting visual.

Well when asked if Manchess had done any D&D art, the answer was yes, but evidently he has not. At least we found a pretty great artist.

For this, I would play without any social rolls. The GM/NPC argument would need to tie to the PCs background and make some kind of emotional appeal that rings true, but the player would need to make the call as to how persuasive it is on their character based on what their character "would do."...

I think you misunderstood. The players are the "writers" of their own PCs.

In most places where we have had a deceitful NPC, it has generally been the onus of the GM to present them as honest and reliable to "fool" the players into believing that their intentions are good. There is generally no roll for this, as it would give away the dishonesty. The only cases where...

Writers of stories are almost writing always characters that do things they would never do themselves. They write characters who are deceived in ways they themselves would never be deceived. Perhaps that kind of separation (within the bounds of decency) is a productive way of thinking about it.

I just had an image flash up of that Westworld series remake…

They're really pinching silver pieces right now, but not too much longer I think. They'll make some real headway next session.

We had a good session today, but definitely got into Conditions, and they definitely do matter. One character with a Scared and Dazed, another with Dazed. Not too bad, but they had already burned their stretch rest from an earlier battle and then got hit with some swarms of biting spiders that...

I like slow and steady so 9-10 for me. I'd probably retire characters around this time.
