Character Advancement = You get some XP from Desperate rolls, not failed 6- rolls. So in this, the FitD is trying to use its dice pool mechanic along with its Position and Effect to encourage your character to take on more than they can handle. This is very much a mechanical device, and...

Well... this for us was in 2 stages. First for us was to stop playing D&D. Even though we played it since the 80s, it's not a rpg, its a wargame people talk over. So we gave up on it two decades ago. Its just combat, and nothing else, and we wanted more guides, rules, and abilities around...

Hmm... ok. What if it was not based on a system/rules? Now I am kinda interested in a "pick your least desired setting" with a list of, i dunno... 10 or so? not too many...

I wonder if there should be a separate thread for "Are you open to other game concepts and settings?" Like, its one thing to say "Are you open to trying Powered by the Apocalypse" games. But its very different to ask "Are you open to playing a game of a Spanish Telenovela?" (which happens...

So I have to respond as per the past, not now. Years ago, my group had a system they were fine with. Was it great? no. Was it D&D? no. It was simple, they knew the rules, and it worked across the genres they were interested in. It took maybe 10 years for me to understand new systems well...

I think this counts as a JRPG TTRPG? I made a Final Fantasy 8 RPG (link) (just fan stuff) It uses Cypher system as core rules... We are still working on the Guardian Force part, and need a few more Spell Junctions...

We went through this stage too. Here is where we went.. Morkborg: Fun but ultimately like all OSR games, it does not hold attention for long. Blades in the Dark: great game, takes a hard-shift to change from D&D combat to Blades combat though... Exalted: Essence edition: This is the...

Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (cortex) Only the one main book is needed, anything else is superfluous. Blades in the Dark Perfect as its. Even the creator's Deep Cuts isn't needed. Pasion de Las Pasiones Possibly the most fun/hilarious rpg ever made Dread There is no need for anything else...

Oops my bad. It was in my Modiphius folder and I remembered wrong. (i corrected) Answering questions and picking options certainly took us easily 2 hour to fully complete character creation with 4 players. But for both Into the Odd and Liminal Horror, it isn't much quicker for removing...

Assuming you are taking about this game = Liminal Horror (link) Not great at 1 shot sessions. Fine for horror campaigns. Creating characters alone can take 2 hours. And the rules are fairly D&D, so combat can take over an hour each combat. It's a fine game, its just that you would need to...

Why did that remind me of this? =

Go for broke! "It is always better to ask forgiveness than permission." :devilish:

So.... Deeper Cuts.... + Score = Engagement Roll result of "Controlled". um... so since that result is kinda "just succeed", how do you resolve the Engagement roll in that case? The character's basically skip the intro to the Score and move on to... I dunno.. It just felt odd to entirely...

Describe your Kaiju buddy (it's sentient-ish?) .. can be fantasy or sci fir or anything really... - What special ability or talent do they have that helps you on your adventures? (that is not an attack) - What did you do in order to befriend this Kaiju? (save? trials? oath? other other?)...

I think your spider > many spiders polymorph spell was fine. If the word Freeform was at the table, then your theme was plenty close enough to the spirit of the spell as to cause no harm, and still allow risk and fun. And, there is indeed a moment of "the rules answer that, consult the rule...

Yeah, I think you pointed out what I was thinking. There is a part of an RPG which is "let the rules and dice tell you how it resolved." Which is to say, if the player wants to do something, then you say "Yes" and let them interact with the rule that guides them on how to do it. (Skill...

I'll be honest, until later age, I never even thought about font in RPG books. Someone mentioned it, I went back and found a very large number of RPG books were 10pt, some were 9pt... Now when I create games, I start in 11pt before it goes to editor and design team who have their way with...

Fair question. That really makes me think for a moment on how to phrase... hmmm....

Ok, sure. Let's talk about that. If we know there are assumptions here, let's address them. Does "GM always say Yes, permit players to override GM rulings/inputs" ? IMHO, Here is why it should not imply such. - Rules still apply. So rolls are still made. dice can still be used to...
