    Rules for Romance in TTRPGs

    If you play D&D and you are looking for a Traits system that has mechanical use and is compatible with 5E as a general d20 system = I suggest Pendragon 6th ed. (link) In this system they have a pair of Traits : - Left side Traits tend to be virtuous / chivalrous - Right side Traits tend to...

    Upcoming Superhero RPGs Coincidence or Zeitgeist

    oohhh I was gonna ask this question, I am so glad you did :) For me its Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (Cortex Prime) , by such a long shot .. that no supers game ever released is even close enough to consider or sniff at. If you took that from me, I would stomp on each one of your toes... but...

    Upcoming Superhero RPGs Coincidence or Zeitgeist

    I think one that hit a good amount of its books and deadlines was Prowlers and Paragons? Anyone keeping up on that game and its many updates?

    Upcoming Superhero RPGs Coincidence or Zeitgeist

    I can't think of a time when every year or two a super hero game didn't come out. Aside from fantasy, its the single most consistent release for the past 20 years.

    GM no-roll

    I have seen this very very often. One of the complaints players have about D&D and Pathfinder is that in a 4 or 5 player game, each turn can take up to 30 minutes or more to get back around to them... In a 1 hour of combat, that's getting to do something twice, and sitting for 45 minutes with...

    GM no-roll

    What was it that you miss from D&D 5e that Dungeon World didn't seem to do or satisfy? Just the 'feels' of D&D or some specific mechanics/rules? I assume there are lots of differences in the games and rules but seeing as you even played 5e modules in DW, I am curious what stands out.

    GM no-roll

    You are right! I have forgotten to add a option in the poll for = "But me the GM likes to roll dice too!" (despite if GM no roll dice mechanic works well or not) Would it cause you to give up on your fav system if it turned into GM no-roll? Or would you still run it anyway?

    GM no-roll

    Could you see it working well in D&D 5e? Would it make much of a difference?

    GM no-roll

    I tried to look this up to see if this had been asked but I could not find much, so here I ask = What do you think of games where the GM never rolls dice? Would you be happy if D&D and Pathfinder and GURPS and RuneQuest switched to GM never roll? (players only rolled to...

    Friends, Gamers, Editors, Lend Me Your Ears! (New Rules)

    Good point! I personally would still stick to success with complications, and one of the complication suggestions would be to handle "what interesting thing happens when neither side wins" or "what interesting thing comes up in a stalemate". But making it a overall success with complications...

    TTRPG Genres You Just Can't Get Into -and- Tell Me Why I'm Wrong About X Genre I Don't Like

    Urm... Wat?? There are 8 lines of my post there, I see nothing about your response highlighting PvP in particular. And the line I quoted had no mention of PvP at all... And my own post is not about how PvP isn't fun... so.... Also note, PvP is not the reason Paranoia isn't fun for us...

    TTRPG Genres You Just Can't Get Into -and- Tell Me Why I'm Wrong About X Genre I Don't Like

    I am not sure I follow your statement there... ? if it means.... Paranoia always fun... well, that is 100% invalid to claim "this game is fun for everyone!" = no such thing exists. Claiming there is some magic "I know how to beer and pretzel fun game, why don't you?" = seems arrogant in the...

    TTRPG Genres You Just Can't Get Into -and- Tell Me Why I'm Wrong About X Genre I Don't Like

    Yup, that is what I thought too. Years later, different GM's etc etc. Still a big NOPE for me. I was never much entertained by being a murderhobo, or backstabber to other PCs, or just aggressively defiant against plots and setting ethics. So I am not saying players who enjoy Paranoia...

    That picture baffles me. My mind tries to interpret over under and shapes and ... it is of no help. OVERALL = - I see a few too many edge-cases for points, situations, abilities. The core mechanic is not doing enough heavy lifting and is requiring too many bumps, geek ups, extras. Stuff...

    TTRPG Genres You Just Can't Get Into -and- Tell Me Why I'm Wrong About X Genre I Don't Like

    I didn't know I had any rpgs I could not play and enjoy until recently. I tried Paranoia.... I can't find the fun in genre of making everyone else miserable, frustrated, and back stabbed pointlessly. Paranoia is not fun for me. Teens or kids... I think the genre and game Kids on Bikes is...

    QuestWorlds is coming—who else is hyped?

    Funny you mention this. I just had a conversation with some folks in regards to QuestWorlds and I may get to add some GM toolkit stuff to QuestWorlds to help with creating stories and plots. :) The general idea would be to create a simple three-question prompt for the GM to answer which...
