In SWADE if you characters are just discovering their powers they use them as unskilled in Focus (assuming Focus is the skill you are using for power activation); D4-2 + Wild Die. It wouldn’t be hard to leverage the skill specialities setting rule to build custom Focus skill specializations for...

D&D 4e. Fresh start with correct math. Non-essentials. Expansion of the Nentir Vale world. Adventures that accentuate the system instead of fighting it. Most of the other games I’d pick, are still in print and being updated although most may not know it. For instance Earthdawn. I just...

Most GURPS have some kind of attribute limit once you tech that your forced to buy skills or talents, and talents might be more problematic than the stat buying. You could also require Unusual background for every attribute point in DX or IQ bought after character creation. It’s a problem to...

Savage Worlds Nights Black Agents Amalgamated corpse monster ate Johan.

WFHRP is set in the classic Old World and is mud and blood Fantasy. When GW blew up the Old World (literally) in the End Times the Mortal Realms were form. AoS is EPIC fantasy. The relationship between WFHRP/AoS/and 40k is a little complicated. Theoretically the original Old World was set...

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/05/12/your-intro-to-the-mortal-realms-may-12gw-homepage-post-4/ for a brief, very brief overview. It was written for the wargame but provides a brief overview of the setting. The Starter set is based in Aqshy I believe, the Realm of Fire.

If I had to sum up AoS in two words they would be: Superhero Fantasy. The heroes start as a very competent, assembled by the Gods, team forged together by a bond. That bond gives them access to some shared powers over above what they get when they pick their archetype. Every characters has...

3.x for the skill system. I think can argue for 4e too. Skill system that works and skill challenges to handle social conflict, chases and other likely city based tasks and challenges.

There may still be a humble bundle or bundle of holding running with the WHFRP 2e line in it. That’s be a great to grab a ton of lore on the cheap.

There is, though it’s mostly limited to the Ubersreik region. I really like how they have handled releases this editon. The ratio of lore to mechanics in the non-adventure releases is really good. Even the Enemy Within Companion volumes have a ton of lore. For instance the Enemy in Sharows...

I like Big Apple Sewer Samurai. I just wish we had better martial arts rules for Savage Worlds.

Might also add the old Birthright setting and mention ACK though I’ve never played it. I don’t think a game needs specific political mechanical subsystems to be a political game but I think it helps. I look at something like Genesys with specific social conflict rules that can be used to...

I think there’s a chance we see a mid-edition update to incorporate some of the Winds if Magic and Up in Arms changes. There was a comment on their FB that it was something they had talked about internally. It’s a fantastic edition. I really like and so does my group. Steady stream of...

Tuesday night Savage Worlds Nights Black Agents Took the money and re-negged!

I backed this on KS. I’ve never gotten it or Blades to the table but it looks fantastic if you can wrap your head around FitD games.

WHFRP wants to play with politics, whether small local stuff or grander things. At least three of the Enemy Within books are significantly political in nature. The rules support it from the career selection on up with various reaction modifiers, suggested trappings (which if played as...

I just want to say I love this thread. I love, love 3.x. I was an immediate adopter of 3.5 and then PF1 which I ran pretty consistently for 10 years. The 3.x family of D&D is a sweet spot for me. A warm comfortable blanket. We’ll broken in, has some holes, but still the one your reach for. On...

I’m a backer on Cohors Cthulhu. I’m super excited. It’s the same world as Achtung! Cthulhu which I also love.

Their trinkets could all be from fantasy land brought back earlier times they found in the attic.

So same characters across four short story arcs at different levels and time periods. Episode 1 arrival and introduce the problem Episode 2 some happens to allow the problem to be solved but with consequences Episode 3 solve the problem and return home Episode 4 return to deal with the...
