There is no role-playing game that supports Beyonce on a team with Swamp Thing. Well, maybe Paranoia. Anyway, I'd like to see Bilbo Baggins in 2M, and/or Doctor Strange.

Or not be able to project things into the future. I think it would be a fine window if the astronomer could send her data 100 years further into the future, to a thoroughly-polluted Earth. "Why didn't you tell us this 200 years ago?"

This is something AI would do. Humans like to hold on to their vile ideas. I'm onboard. The (many) world in which a time traveler pops up out of nowhere (or in place of the air particles that were previously there) isn't non-existent. It's just way, way down on the probability scale, so no...

Norton says it's a phishing site. Maybe try blocking it on your browser.

These are all significantly better role descriptions than whatever the heck the Dungeon Dudes were trying to say about "Utility." . . . but I would call the "Leader" a "Commander" instead. And the "Guide," a "Steward." So the Pathfinder can remain "Pathfinder," who leads and guides. Did the...

Wait. Is this a prequel to Fallout? Kidding, but I might try it once it hits Netflix.

Modos RPG avoids all of this with Pro/Con/Tie results. Beat the GM's roll, and your outcome is favorable. (The rock misses the tree but beans the guard, knocking her out.) If GM beats your roll, your outcome is unfavorable. (You hit the tree, but threw some dirt too, which hit the guard in...

In the words of Tyler, "you are not special. This does not belong to you."

I can appreciate a streamlined starting hero. Unlike D&D 6, which starts with broad characters that basically grow into tall AND broad characters. I thought this was a Final Fantasy-inspired game? If so, it missed the mark, because FF (old school anyway) was all about tall characters who...

I'm confused. This article takes quite a bit for granted. The art's cool, though. I don't fit into this "most GMs" category. Maybe that's my issue.

I'd like to hear your take on these. I've seen the Dragonbane free quickstart, but I couldn't tell you how broad/tall it was from the small sample. Well yeah! Modos 2, my ENnie nominee, uses an a la carte progression system by default. Players choose an attribute bump, skill bump, and a perk...

It's for levels 1-3 in the "starter set."

Allow me to draw your attention to the "class features" section of the "pops." I'll hand it to WotC, it takes a hero's courage to try and simplify 6e.

5/10, one reason being clarity: A: What's an NPC? B: It stands for non-player-character. A: So, everything that's not a player-character. Like my sword? B: No, it means every character that doesn't have a player. A: Who plays the character if it doesn't have a player? B: The DM. A: So the...

No, the fire dragon keeps a log of each gem encrusted in its hide. It's sort of like a balance sheet. I'd like to know if one can capitalize on the low Luck score. Otherwise, my merry band will be avoiding such creatures.

These are both questions of scale, illustrating how much progress the GM wants to award for the roll result. It seems that Baker uses "conflict" for simpler activities, and "task" for more complex ones.

Thought you were going to end this with . . . "definitely doesn't make noise if she doesn't want to." Anyway, I thought some shadows floated around whispering, "kill kill kill kill."

Zweihaender is excellent for this. I feel nefarious characters with palmed stilettoes all around me when I read the book.

The suggestions were a little more nuanced than that. The first was creating a world condition to solve a problem, the second was reacting to world conditions to solve a problem. The problem can vary in scale in both situations. To me, OP's question is closely related (even if not stated that...

After trying King's Fairy Tale, I'm not in a rush, or a walk, to see this. And I know that 4 mph can be maintained for at least 12 miles.
