I've seen it enough now that I can tell when the end is coming for my fur friends :(

I had a girlfriend with BPD. Those were interesting times.

One of the pitfalls of these discussions is the idea a simulation is total reality with no game, and that a game is all game with no simulation. The truth is a bit of each is in the DNA of any RPG. The simulation is in the abstraction of game elements that are attempting to emulate the...

Opened ended includes 6 sessions as well as 60. I think the idea was that the session would go longer than average which is probably closer to 30 sessions or probably less.

Its an admitted broad generalization so not prone to being true across all time and games. This blurb itself is just one example from many RPGs of the time. Though, its interesting to note that the discussion was happening even back then so the two (of many) schools of thought have been argued...

Starting to think bolding for emphasis is the new all caps text screaming.

Im still rockin Diplomacy in my mid-century modern gaming.

I've only had 3 players over the decades like this and unfortunately two of them in the same game once...

I could see the vision in two ways that come to mind framed from the discussion so far. Generic Cyberpunk It has general rules for body augmentation, hacking computers, various near future combat. XP systems for advancement Specific Emulating the film Bladerunner in the cyberpunk genre. It...

I'll take the edgy backgrounds over the few male gamers i've had who always showed up to sessions zero like this. "My new PC is also a promiscuous supermodel lesbian like my last PC"
