    Name some of your best Party Origin methods

    I never quite got the game off the ground, but in a reboot of a super power setting of mine... "Between Five and Ten Years ago, an experimental treatment by Doctor Jones completely cured you of an illness or injury which was either fatal or permanently debilitating. What was the illness? How...

    Technical play skill + setting/situation + narrative + player dissatisfaction

    I don't mind subverting expectations, or having abilities the PCs don't. What I mind is when it's out of left field. It's there to surprise the players. And I mean players. You know how in a Video Game your character walks into a large open space strewn with corpses and resources and you go...

    Technical play skill + setting/situation + narrative + player dissatisfaction

    Okay, can't seem to use quotes in an edit, so... I understand this... But when the programmer cheats first, none of us should get the remorse. Does this excuse it? Or should we work harder? Or level cap ourselves? I will admit there's a threshold of prep time/effort beyond which I just don't...

    Technical play skill + setting/situation + narrative + player dissatisfaction

    Here is my instant reply. I'll read the thread and expand if needed: My son is an avid computer gamer who also role-plays (where as I am an avid role-player who also plays computer games). He's very into the theory and intent of game design, and spend a good amount of time practicing to explore...

    Your Harebrained Ideas?

    I love this. I my case, the poker face is when I mine their OOC comments for material. :P "That is the dumbest idea. Tell me in detail how you think it would work..."

    Your Harebrained Ideas?

    I don't have harebrained ideas. My players have harebrained ideas that turn out to be right.

    RPG Evolution: Please Play With Me?

    Actually, it was 1998. :D I worked weekdays, my wife worked swing and weekend. We basically never ate a meal together for like 10 years. But also after a while I got REALLY bored and depressed. I went looking for alternative and I found... WebRPG Online. I have looked, but my Google-Fu is...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – TMNT, Grimtooth, Eclipsed Phase, and more

    I bought it in the other thread about the TMNT "reboot", but other people should also buy this. ETA: I mean I was inspired to buy it in that thread. :) I bought it from Indie Press Revolution.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – TMNT, Grimtooth, Eclipsed Phase, and more

    I'm still sad that TMNT finally makes a comeback and they're still with Palladium. I guess we can look forward to recycled text and art galore. However... Gun Belt looks amazing.

    RPG Evolution: Please Play With Me?

    I like this. I might add, not so much how to find players, but the patience needed to build a group, especially if you're not running the games it seems most people are looking for. I've been running almost exclusively in online spaces for 25 years. It started as a way to game while home with...

    Kickstarter Spherechild - multidimensional P&P roleplaying game

    Sound very interesting. And you've got the broad strokes of Everway (Though if you got caught up on DriveThru you probably saw the "Silver Anniversay" edition. It's awesome, but doesn't convey how groundbreaking the game was in the mid-90s. I'm not sure it all aged well, but I still remember it...

    Jane Austen/Regency flavor to throw into an adventure?

    Int 8? Not like, 1 or 2, beast numbers? Otherwise awesome. Might replace my Circus' pack of Dire Squirrels.

    Kickstarter Final 72hrs: Lineages of the Long White Cloud, New Zealand wildlife in 5e

    I know this is a small project, but why so little attention? Thanks for posting this. I'd have missed it otherwise. I'm in, for what it's worth. Not much, since my bank will almost certainly decide to block the payment, as it likes to do to all foreign countries. :p
