Awesome ideas! Thanks for sharing.

I think using D&D 5e as a model, I could create new classes with the three Archetypes for other genres or settings. You could splice in setting specific options and then restrict core classes that don't fit. Instead of the "kitchen sink" approach, a tailored approach with the appropriate...

Version 2 is now ready for your reviews, comments and suggestions! Major revision. I think this one is MUCH better thanks to community feedback!

While debating the nuances of "common verbiage" and how they apply to "rules enforcement" you generally fail to (passively) notice your impending doom, are surprised and promptly eaten by a specific rule. Please roll up a new character. Let's go with something LESS... let's call it "INT...

Hit up Staples. Have them use their cutter to trim (closely) the end binding off. This should separate the covers and all pages. Try and get the book pages "aligned" at the binding before they cut it. Then you have a couple options. Option 1: Spiral or comb bind the pages. They "might" be able...

That would not only make great business sense but would be splendidly fun!

I suppose if my revelations are too verbose to ponder through, I can summarize; I'm getting back to my roots. I like the new edition of D&D. I'm going with simpler rules because complexity hasn't helped me find what I thought I wanted, takes too long to make characters and has likely irritated...

That should do it!

I like the HD option! I will state again, I really don't like the Lingering Wounds option in the DMG. Different strokes and all that. Just too stark and specific for me. I'm thinking with each level of Injury you take a level of Exhaustion (works the same as the rules, a long rest reduces by...

So, I've come full circle. I'm back with my first love - D&D. This is my "why". It's important for me to share, as my hope is to provide insight into the mind of a habitual system-addict, manic seeker of the "perfect medium complexity depth because #feelings" RPG and perhaps help other...

Here's a link to the initial draft. This is a rough draft I hope would start some discussion and input on! You can skip to the end to see my "design philosophy". I wanted something I could "plug in". I really like the Exhaustion special condition so I emulated that to an extent. The initial...

That is a draft for discussion version! :-) I'm already looking to simplify it. I will create a thread here. Stop in and give me your thoughts!

I have to work this weekend (against my will). I will not be able to run these games. I have contacted the Con organizer. My sincere hope is that work will get organized to the point where I can make plans and not have them squashed. My sincere apologies to anyone who was planning to attend.

The gaming schedule is up! RustyCon Gaming

Happy New Year!! May your year be filled with joyous gaming, friends, mirth and good fortunes!!

What other game systems are you familiar with? I ask because there are several hundreds of games out there. Several of them have "mechanisms" for supporting play styles that appeal to various people's tastes. They range from the traditional ultra-detailed to the "new school" "narrative"...

I have to say, this is an incredible labor of love. Gorgeous character sheet, tons of info. Very impressive!

You can check out my other thread about the Con and the description. I'm going with a "crash land on derelict alien spaceship, explore, solve mystery, survive, discover something, escape" adventure with [redacted].

I'll be running 4 HARP games at the con! One each of Fantasy and Sci-Fi on FRI and SAT. I will be available to run a "part 2" on SUN (or even later FRI/SAT) for those who really like the game and want to see more. There will be a strong Privateer Press presence, and it looks like at least one...

So, sci-fi adventures seem to have a broad range of possibilities. What are the most fun of those possibilities? If someone pitched you an adventure for your next sci-fi game, what elements would you be looking for? Which ones are exciting to you? I want to put together a scenario for a con...
