From 1983 until about 1990, I had a clear favorite: Classic Traveller, then MegaTraveller; If it was a pick up game, this was my usual pick, second choice being Starships & Spacemen. My regular scheduled games varied. No, I didn't play just that one genre (it's really not a single genre game...

In fall 2014, I was subbing at a local high school, and two juniors (letter jackets for class of 2016), in the music department. It's lunch time, I'm reading a rulebook for an RPG... and one of them starts making an obvious pass. "Hey, cutie, you new here?" is pretty unsubtle. That was the day...

The reality is that non-white is a problem for naming public buildings. Shouldn't be, but is. Did he have a relative in Anchorage AK? I knew a chap who looked like a skinny version of him. This was me in about 2015:

In case it escapes someone, to get the pdf, when you've "purchased" it, the pulldown on the right end of the open button includes the option to "download PDF" - not just TOTV, but the TOTV Monster Vault.

the new edition uses one unified mechanic... and it's just as easy to call for a level 2 SR on Luck in this version... but noting that luck isn't scaled the same as the others. (typical is going to be 3, but it can range from 1 to 7 for starting PC, unlike core atts, which are 2-4)... The lack...

Only if said creators actually like the system elements. For many, biggest games in the SRD space (D&D 3.x, D&D 5.x, Pathfinder) are mediocre. (or worse.) Played because they can't find players for a game they prefer. And let's not forget the d20 bubble, and its bursting, hurting mostly...

That's variable. Fear of losing characters needs only emotional attachment to the characters and a clear and present threat to said characters. More narrative inspired fear is possible, and is helped by atmosphere of the play space... but is also more reliant upon GM skill and upon player...

Yeah, the phone version of Pugmire lacks the core adventure. I didn't buy the phone versions, but the phone version of Pugmire was a freebie in the twenty-teens at some point.

Then they REALLY don't know WTF they're on about. Most of the games I've seen under a CC license are CC-BY-SA, then next most often CC-BY-NC. ORC is basically equivalent to CC-BY-SA. Same for WOGL1.0a. CC-BY-NC is fundamentally a different entire thing - it's a "free work only license"...

Just add the share alike clause in CC. But, to be honest, this whole thread is proof that CC is too poorly understood. Creative Commons is NOT ONE LICENSE It's several. The base level of CC is a truly open one, allowing modified or unmodified use, not requiring attribution, and allowing...

I seldom enjoy live plays, but the Dial the Gate vidcast ep 8 where they demoed Stargate was amazing... Largely because most of the players (5 of 6) were stargate cast playing the nearly completed rules.... David Hewlett (Rodney McKay), David Blue (Eli Wallace), Alexis Cruz (Skarra), Julie...

Sun Fallout: Meet Sentient Rats. Make nice.

fear of loss of characters is a real fear. Some players get attached quick.

I found it incredibly painful to use the results in descending roll order within Star Wars d6 1e...

My players noted a horror edge to the QP module. I doubled down on it in my follow-on. I set up a buffed wraiths encounter (Tier 2 wraiths), with the questions: "What hell does this section of woods make you think of?" and "Who from it does that tree there remind you of?" Then the wraiths...

Look at the one in Monarchies

Alpha, not Beta. And I can see the lineage; it's lineage is through the T&T CRPG as much as the TT... when we see advancement, I suspect a 7/7.5/D mode. I'm not surprised at all by the switch to a count-successes model; given that combat rolls can easily hit 6d, at which point expected...

Just resolve them in posting order.

Nor mine. More importantly, the legacy interface for my library plays much nicer with several bits of hardware I use.
