    Kickstarter Traveller 5e powered by the DnD SRD in 2026 crowdfunding

    I thought so too but Carbon 2185 has shown me that the power level can be curbed and adapted. So, it’s not as far apart as it might seem. I’m guessing if this thing bombs hugely it will be because it misses both 5E and Traveller feel.

    Worlds of Design: The Hierarchy of Authenticity

    I would say in my experience things do tend to be on a spectrum in character depth. Ranging from avatar to actualized being. I've also experienced the range in different RPGs. Fantasy ones such as D&D tend to be more hostile "just shoot" situations, where as others treat the situation as more of...

    Karma, Rewards /Consequences Do you use it? If so, what is good, and if not what is bad?

    My issue with rewarding good behavior (and/or punishing "bad" behavior) is it leads folks away from organic play and into meta decisions. Does it really interest them or are they looking for a karma cookie? I want my players to come to their decisions out of interest in the setting and exploring...

    Game Balance, what is it to you, why is it important, and what if you all but threw it out?

That, A, you have your own system, B, that dragons have hundreds if not thousands of HPs in that system, and C, dragon slayers are not a thing because its assuming to be extremely...

    Game Balance, what is it to you, why is it important, and what if you all but threw it out?

    Recently, there was an article about story vs gameplay. The gist was that you make a good game first, and then flavor it afterwards. That has always made a certain amount of sense to me. So, often the mechanics are in the background, or "under the hood" as I like to say. I dont waste a lot of...
