Correct. The major hurdle for soloists is combat. If you have to roll initiative, both sides' attacks and damages, it can become tedious, unless you are in a war gaming mood. Removing initiative and linking it instead to success is a good idea*. I often use average (fixed) damage instead of...

The more I'm reading about it, the more I like it. Crap! I'm not supposed to buy new RPGs in 2025. Hum... would make a good Christmas gift. :sneaky:

He said no Ducks! :p;)

No Tolkien elves or dwarves with a detailed campaign darkish setting and other weird playable races, is a tall order. Numenera comes to mind. Using the rules, you could easily reskin regular humans into animal, insect, clockwork and alien people. They could be sci-fantasy mutations or natural...

I know. I'm still 1% naive at 60 years old.

They could if the Suits decide not to take annual bonuses for 2025. :eek::devilish:

My choice would be to use The Expanse* by Green Ronin. It’s humancentric, no aliens, and the rules are not simulationist. Ship design is easy. Campaign and adventure guidelines use TV series tropes. Characters usually don’t die; instead, they are KOed. With the rings, I would decide that one of...

Open d6 with the Space Opera book. It’s Star Wars WEG with the IP filled off.

Cool. I was talking about the upcoming D&D starter set, in case the wasn’t clear. Yes, cards are helpful to teach to new players.

Your reply tells me you do not know what the cards are for in the new starter. Go check a video about it. But you are correct on the last point. They are not meant to affect the regular game. They will not be part of the regular game.

After watching the ebb and flow of the battle at the begining of episode two, the system is growing on me. I liked the unpredictability of activation. I see now how it would be good for solo play. The CR crew were really stressed out.

Coriolis is Arabian Nights flavour with mysterious 'Alien Gods'. We did a space trucker campaign, and it worked fine. To do true Firefly, you would have to ignore a larger part of what makes the game unique. Better to use another system.

Starforged (Ironsworn)

Minor nitpicking. GR ported it to the AGE system.

The initial response on the webosphere was excellent—almost no bashing. With the art style targeting younger kids (8+), it will look good on the shelves. Parents will pick it up.

D&D is loosing players but it is gaining new ones faster. The new starter set with cards will bring in troves.

The uphill battle for any RPG, including D&D, is to get new players in faster than acquired players leaving for another system. Shadowdark needs to go mainstream in hobby shops and on Amazon to sustain growth.

Dissatisfaction grows with usage. The core fans stay. The others leave for other games. It's been like that since the beginning.

Please do! :D edit: We all know DH should be d20 roll over. Odd numbers are with Fear and Even numbers are with Hope. :ROFLMAO::p

Yes, I know. What I'm saying is that gamers are notoriously not very faithful.
