That's a new thing; I stopped tracking the lore in detail about the time 40K went to big boxed sets. And the novels started. There has been a LOT of development of the 30k era It's been moved away from that, but WFB3 and WFRP1 era, it was just as fascist and crapsack as 40k:RT and the...

I did that in AL play.

Like all Fox Sci-Fi shows of the 90's and 00's that weren't Buffy related, it was put in death-slots. And it ended on a MAJOR cliff-hanger ending. Perhaps, someone personally funded completions or even extra seasons, never released...

Sun Daggerheart AoU spectres, everywhere. Two known spectres.

Canon has always said so, to a degree. His incarceration in the Golden Throne may be just a way to keep the unaging man out of controlling the faith the preceptors of Holy Terra use to control the Imperium. Does the throne enable the Astronomicon? Yes. Does it need him in it? Probably not...

Just adding some details on how I'm doing it in Foundry for my remote group: I turned on the tracker... I am using the 3 activations per "round" option from the rules. The players have the ability to "raise the hand" on the combat tab. When it's time for a player, I take the oldest raised...

not quite; it was in my notes, but didn't stick in my (neurodivergent) brain. Yeah, It's quite amusing to have 4 Ribbets death-from-above on a PC...

Planet of the Apes (released this year) uses D6 system; Magnetic changed a stat, and reduced to six skills per attribute, but it's still firmly grounded in OpenD6 (D6 Space, specifically). I'll note that many of those who have divergent tastes, D&D 5 isn't in the top 10. For some of us, it's...

The TV show was worse than the novels. One thing I realized: the additional spotlight spend? It's not intended for the same character - there are specific enablers for allowing respotlighting the adversary twice in a row... which means the general spend should be for other adversaries... I've...

in my FTF group, I'm using small gaming stones for hope, fear, HP and SP. Except for fear, they're just placing them over the sheet. The players' stones are kept in individual pill bottles, with a soda cap as a divider between used and unused stones.

"We almost beat him!" Followed by the inner monologue "Muhahahah, they had no chance!" Haven't done that in decades. Lost the taste for it in high school.

It's worth giving it a shot if you're GMing. Especially as a hook... GM: Hey, A, which long lost love your character wants to reconnect with is across the market? And why are you glad she's shown up today? A: Dahlia the Blademaster, who was once my fiancée... restriking that hoped for... GM...

Same. I've run campaigns of games where facts of the setting are handled as: player states desired truth GM sets difficulty based upon likelihood (but never to unobtanium levels) player rolls: Success, it's truth. Fail, it's not true, and the GM picks some alternate if it's immediately...

@Thomas Shey I'm used to "here's a task system, and a labelled ladder for difficulties" - that was a conceptual revolution for me in the 80's... Twilight 2000 (1e) had a 3 label ladder, DGP used a 5 step ladder in their Classic Traveller supps, GDW used the DGP task system in Traveller:2300...

Yeah, I had concerns there. With my groups, no «bleep»ing way will we be doing that part. One of the players would immediately go into persecution mode... in each group. That's part of the thought. Nothing I've seen that's not in the books already. And it's not like FFG let the devs post on...

Not even scrubbed off; just given a fresh coat of paint. there are some mechanical changes, fairly minor. It's a clone, but it's not a strict retroclone, in that category of clones like DCC... the core is the same, the setting the same as far as mechanics go, but there are single edition level...

I instantly get two mental images: mothballed armored tracked vehicles with cannons over 7cm a field full of water boiler tanks removed from homes. A little effort, Space Above and Beyond, a normal graveyard, but all those inside are the genetically modified humans, nicknames for the...

Specifically, anyone got experience with FFG's End of the World series/system? For those unfamiliar, its a series of 4 corebooks: Alien Invasion, Revolt of the Machines, Wrath of the Gods, Zombie Apocalypse. The system uses a small trait driven dice pool, with attribute setting the ≤...

Currently Top of the chart? Alien. It fills a deep sci-fi space trucker need. Legend of the Five Rings 5th (aka FFG L5R). A robust fantasy setting with plenty of room to explore; plus, it's a very adaptable core. WEG d6 Space, Savage Worlds or Hero System 5r... I can't decide stably between...

In my experience, yes, it brought a bunch more women into the hobby, but not that I didn't know a bunch of female RPGers prior, even dated a couple prior. At the time, I loved the variable TN system of 1e VTM. I don't care so much for the fixed TN 8 of later editions; My campaigns, however...
