WEG Starwars, WEG ghostbusters, and FASA Startrek. All were fantastic, well supported and died way to soon.

If Phoenix command had a VTT module to do all the math and record keeping it would be popular now a days. Not super popular but people would play it for sure.

Delta Force takes me all the way back to high school, I was trying to explain it to a couple of the younger generation and they could not understand why you would want to roleplay that. All I could say waw "Chuck Norris on a rocket launching Moto cross bike".

Yup same reason fantasy games always sell more than Scifi and modern combined. People like playing elves

The most complex math in DnD is basic adding and subtraction, you make it sound like its particle physics or some thing. I was just thinking about how as the national math averages have gone down so has the virulent hatred for any kind of math or charts in ttrpgs has gone up. If players can’t do...

I have a tendency to use traveller for all my Scifi settings, i think it would work for starwars with some tweaks to the psionics rules but its not going to give the “cinematic” feel I got from playing WEG back in the day. Maybe a pared down scifi version of mythras since it already has Jedis… I...

I was responding to the quoted text not the video.

Its Tunnels and Trolls, both sides roll up all their damage and compare totals. Highest wins and inflicts their rolled damage on their opponents.

Sooo its tunnels and trolls. Yes very ground breaking 🙄.

Hot Take: the marketing makes a game OSR. The slightly spicier hot take: OSR games tend to be structured around an imagined (mostly by designers who were not born yet or not playing ttrpgs at the time) play style supposed (by those same designers) to have been dominate in the “early days”...

I vastly prefer D100 variants for long campaigns, they have a couple advantages. Slow skill based progression, more grounded in reality, no power fantasy/ super hero level power creep, and it is my experience that games like Runequest, Mythras, Magic World or Open quest (Dragonbane seems to fit...

My kids don’t understand tropes…

Saving the world from the angry vegan druids and their secret Dracolich leader and trying to not go broke in the tavern.

I agree with you that converting to Forbidden lands will be a huge undertaking. I plan on using Dragonbane without changing much of anything as I have run several BX and OSE adventures without needing to do much of anything except thinking of beginning DB characters as 3rd or 4th level BX/OSE...

One of the things Free league has said is coming is a bestiary. Their is also a setting and campaign book on Kick starter from the host of the Sweden Rolls podcast based on his several decade long campaign.

the only thing I can fault the Box Set for is that the Standees didn't have a couple of the monsters from the adventure book but that's a small quibble. The game looks great and plays fantastic.

I would look at the Polymorph version but frankly if your publishing for three or four different systems it screams cash grab to me. Especially since this is an IP thats pretty old at this point, last episode aired in September 2018.

Oh good another game with funky (expensive) dice and “improv” based rules. Great.

Wow, most copy writers for marketing (mostly 500-2000 words) make from .40-1.00 per word. Rates vary based on experience but anything under .10 is fresh out of school zero experience or portfolio

Renegade Game studio doesn't make any games I am interested in but I will avoid and trash talk them all the same. Renegade City on the other hand sounds interesting I may have to pick up a copy.
