As a player/GM, it hinges on the degree to which the group thinks dealing with such topics is important. If you are trying to create enjoyable experiences at the table, and not historical reenactments, that's the prime concern. As a creator of content, you should try to express why your work...

Agreed. Their stated rationale is that "if you are driving to work and you're 15 minutes early, you go slow. If you're 5 minutes late, you drive like a maniac." 13th Age has an Escalation Die which rises each round, giving PC's a combat bonus.

It's not my favorite title, but nor should the name be dismissed that lightly. It has endured for half a century, and provides the game's iconic locations and antagonists in a poetic and succinct method that's still copied today. My favorites are the Gumshoe titles Night's Black Agents, Trail...

These are what I'd like to run: A Sentinel Comics RPG game where we are making actual lines of comics as we play. I realize that's done in a general way but I would want to make my own background as opposed to using theirs. A Fall of Delta Green campaign that adapts Masks of Nyarlathotep in...

Dennis Detwiller wrote a scenario in TUO 14/15 set in Rhode Island involving bootleggers and FBI agents, "Call of Duty." But the modern idea sounds good too!

And Loren would have known - as a part owner of GDW, he is one of the fathers of Traveller.

Several companies prospered by publishing d20 titles and using the profit to fund other lines: Green Ronin & Atlas Games come immediately to mind.

After the game I am a lot like George Costanza and the comeback: I think of great things I should have done.

Runner up: The GM's job is to create situations, and the players' job is to have their characters figure them out. Winner: If there is a problem, talk about it at the table. There are no awards out for most in-character performance at a gaming session.

I played the original as a tween and it definitely made an impression.

I used it for a pulp one-shot, to good effect.

Pretty sure it was G2.

Offhand, I would say you focus on family/known associates you can interview; if you have the ability to track a ship, its whereabouts; if the target is a thief, where stolen valuables are exchanged for things. Watch Andor and root for the ISB :) Intercept transmissions, find patterns from...

-can a bounty hunter bring in the clone of a target? -is all I got rn

There is a GURPS Traveller book about Bounty Hunters you can mine for information.

I think the common thread of both wargames and board games leading to RPGs is investing your tokens with a personality if you play them often enough: "this soldier with the bent barrel has made it across North Africa, Sicily, and Italy!" Someone else - I wish I could recall who, possibly Greg...

A GM who has taken time to familiarize herself with the setting lore (whether by creating it or absorbing it) can smooth over the edges of where the lore runs out. An example might be creating a new mercenary company on the fly in the Battletech universe: having seen enough of them, she can make...
