Capitalism proving yet again that necessary services should not be tied to the profit motive.

Best of luck to your striking postal workers. Hope they get everything they want and more.

Of the Mongoose editions, I liked 1E because it at least looked and felt closer to the original. Of the various editions over the last almost 50 years there’s nothing I’ve seen that will pull me from the original 1977 Traveller. It’s just too streamlined, too light, too open of a system...

RIP Jane Goodall. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/dr-jane-goodall-legendary-animal-rights-advocate-dies-91-rcna235001

They’re closing in on $850,000 a bit over 24 hours from launch. They added stretch goals and blew through all but two. At €777,777 they’re commissioning an OST by JRPG composers. They will most likely reach this today as they’re only €58,000 shy. At €999,999 they’re unlocking “the future” of...

There’s a thread on the purple site about the Kickstarter and the idea of dungeon crawling came up. It would work fine. You just have to give the PCs opportunities to recharge IP (inventory points). See the second half of this post...

Exactly. Take all that underhanded survival at all costs experience from those dungeon crawling games and apply it here. Prepare. Drop a ship on their head. Rig the briefcase with explosives. Fight at long range from reinforced positions from behind cover. Etc. The game's mechanics for combat...

All this about the OSR is one reason I love Classic Traveller 1977. It's very old-school design in the "rulings not rules" sense, but holy Spaceballs would it benefit from some OSR-style graphic and information design. I'm not as familiar with the Cepheus Engine stuff, but I'd be surprised if...

Some days are like that...

If we’re sticking with proper D&D-like games, d20-based that’s an offshoot, clone, fork, etc of D&D, then it’s Pirate Borg at the top followed close behind by Shadowdark, followed a bit behind by Old-School Essentials Advanced. If we’re opening things up to non-d20 and not direct offshoot...

How long did it take to fund? It’s only at 130%. Less than 900 backers. That’s kinda surprising for a CR Kickstarter. I wonder what’s keeping the interest that low? Everyone who wanted the game already bought the core set? People less interested because campaign 4 isn’t Daggerheart? Too...

For those wondering, the lock icons and numbers represent which scene in the quickstart you will use (or unlock) that part of the character sheet. It legit walks you through how things work in a specific order to teach you the game like a JRPG tutorial.

To me this is best exemplified with Inventory Points. Each PC has 6 IP they can spend on the following: mana potion (3), healing potion (3), anti-condition potion (2), elemental damage (2), and a magic tent (4). You can spend those IP at any time and they recharge at certain points. That's the...

Oh. And they're minutes away from unlocking their last listed stretch goal, solo mode. ETA: And unlocked.

Already passed the $500,000 mark. Here's to hoping it's another $1 million Kickstarter. Congrats to Emanuele Galletto and Need Games.

It's a great game for what it's trying to do. It's more narrative focused like Daggerheart, shared worldbuilding, shared storytelling, etc...but it has no illusions about emulating a real world. It's very much a game that's trying to be a JRPG simulator. Things work like they would in a JRPG...

I made a general [+] thread for Fabula Ultima. https://www.enworld.org/threads/fabula-ultima-general-thread.715533/

The [+] is to keep things positive and prevent arguments about Fabula Ultima and more narrative-focused or video game-inspired RPGs. There are plenty of other threads to hate on games and play styles you don’t like. There are a few people on here who play Fabula Ultima and want to talk about...
