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...

To be fair, it's dead simple to make monsters in Fabula Ultima. I get it, but it's super easy to do yourself.

A few hours in and already close to $1/2 million. Good for them. Absolutely fantastic for that JRPG feel.

Just thought it relevant to mention considering your post about all tech being regulated, when...you know...that's not true and all.

Not really. It carried forward for quite awhile. It's in 81, the Traveller Book, the Starter Set, etc. I'm not sure when it disappeared, but it lasted longer than just the original.

Well, not really. Depends on the tech, depends on the place, and depends on how we define tech. Even if we broadly define tech to include things like agriculture, there are some aspects that are regulated and others that are not. As long as you have access to soil, rain, and seeds you can...

Yeah. All that. For me Traveller works best when it’s the ultimate sandbox. I find the trying to pay off ship-debt angle boring. I don’t want to RP having a job. I think of it like Frederick Pobl’s Gateway books. Anything is possible out there. So go out there. I also view the bones of the...

Most people don’t care until it directly effects them. The people cheering loudest about “AI” advancements now will be out of work and out of luck like the rest of us.
