to make my point more clear: That DH lacks negative uses is a huge difference in what is "good" mechanically in Fate vs DH that suggesying Fate aspect best practices is almost wasting people's time.

You are making several assumptions here that may or may not be true... Without fudging, I've had a dozen PCs I ran AD&D1e for make it to 10th from 1st, no rezzing needed... but it wasn't with published modules. Several issues that may affect the lethality: 1st is that of comparable...

The EU GDPR killed a bunch of major companies' forums. Not directly, no... but by requiring increased privacy rights and removal rights, many non-US companies killed their forums rather than deal with upgrading to GDPR compliance. Some US ones did, too. That's a right that is constrainable...

Sounds like ST: Picard, seasons 1 & 3. And the Fenris Rangers and private medical ships.

Burning Wheel is noted for that same dichotomy. I found it something my players did in The One Ring... on their second characters, at least. Cortex Plus, especially Firefly, has enough flexibility that character optimization is not overly beneficial... but it is beneficial. Quite a few...

Not a bad idea, but "exactly like" is a gross overstatement and oversimplification. First, there is the range issue either can be invoked for +2... but on DH, that's on a 2⋯24 range being affected, while in Fate, it's either a -4 to +4, or -5 to +5. (There are flavors with 2d6-7, others with...

Because it's "Adult Content" - without regard for whether it's straight or LGBTQIA+. Or for subject matter. I'll note that noted LGBTQ game Thirsty Sword Lesbians is still in the searchable, but I don't know if it's turning up because I got it in some bundle, or if it's not been hidden, or...

Individual class sheets probably is a relayout. It's not as intense a relayout...

not one or two cards; 6 subclass cards, of which 3 are relevant, and 42 domain cards, of which 21 or 42 may be relevant; having duplicates of the 18 racial and 9 environment is useful. (either way, it's shipping with 42... it's just that the second domain is only relevant if someone else is in...

Traveller has a number of tools for different campaign styles... I'm talking CT, but MGT1 has similar tools. (I don't know, nor care much about, MGT2). The core rules for CT provide for several kinds of campaign. The Space Merchant: buying and selling, using the T&C system in Bk 2. If you want...

Normal folk. I'm multiply neurodivergent, normal people are outside my wheelhouse. Aliens are easier — outside star wars, star trek, and Traveller, "getting it wrong" is usually unnoticeable. But normal people? They're hard.

Rifts and Palladium Fantasy play fairly well, for a 1981 game design. d100 ≤ skill for non-combat, 1d20+(skill based mod) > 4 for combat. Note that I'm only going to talk about 1e Revised, as it's the one I have run. Have it both in PDF and dead tree. Anyway... Palladium Fantasy's core is...

My limit is about $80 for core rules on paper. Which, generally, I've found, is good for most everything coming out except D&D and Rolemaster. I paid under cover for Daggerheart dead tree, including shipping.

Yeah. gets odd anytime you mess with the chart, but if you guarantee that they get their slots, just not when, it's not too bad.

Usually, two different games. Cheat sheets to hand to keep the att/skill lists and difficulties straight. I used to run 3 a week. I can't anymore. My last "3 a week" - D&D at the store, and two different FFG star wars - one F&D campaign, playtesting the Gatekeeper campaign. One EotE, with a...

Which makes the game aspect complete fail - the even pace is for fairness. "So, Mrs. Lincoln, aside from that, how was the play?"

In fantasy hero, I had one PC who was speed 8 (when the magic was on). I later restricted PCs to Speed 6, period. The cards approach works fine if ∑speeds ≤ 52 (french deck, no jokers). Above that, you need a second deck, or to include jokers for more than «shuffle the deck». Or to go to the...

Another system problematic for dyslexics.

I was intending the pace of combat, not frequency. Frequency is a good bit high, tho', too. Champions suffers from steady pace of combat, too; it's phases chart by speed is NOT a solution to the even pacing of combat. A more realistic approach, keep Speed... but roll (speed)d12 and go on the...

No. It's a fixed pile. Body type produces a modifier which reduces each hit's damage. It's not quite linear, and a BT 2 is -0, BT 10 is -5... 4 boxes of light, 4 of serious, 4 of critical, 4 of Mortal 0, 4 of Mortal 1, 4 of Mortal 2, ... 4 of Mortal 6. Stun saves are 1d10 ≤ BT, -1 per full 4...
