    Systems That Model The World Rather Than The Story

    I've found it really depends. When I run WHFPR 4e I use Foundry, the official tool, and all the bells and whistles. It's great. It really makes the run smoother. I've tried running GURPS in both Roll20 and Foundry. Foundry is a better tool. In both instance though, we discovered that for...

    The thought of switching VTTs is so daunting

    I started with Roll20 when the pandemic hit. I switched to FGU when they had a big sale. I now run Foundry. I am considering a switch to Owlbear Rodeo. I’ve been using Foundry weekly for going on 2 years now. I would let the game Im running dictate the platform I use.

    What RPG do you most regret parting with?

    I got an email Free Leagues today saying MY:0 reprints are in bound. Including Mechatron. It’s going to be for my wallet.

    What RPG do you most regret parting with?

    My complete Planescape collection from 2e. I bought Star*Drive a couple years ago after parting with it in the late 90’s. I like Alternity and that setting. It wasn’t that expensive to replace.

    Grade the GURPS System

    Combat reflexes generally gets repriced in my games. I tend to be pretty heavy handed though. Mandating templates, or when I ran an action game we used the Action 4: Specialist rules and tightly controlled how and what was available. If Rule 0 is have fun, in GURPS Rule 0.1 is the GM has to...

    Grade the GURPS System

    I voted "I Love It" and could just have easily vote "I Hate it". GURPS is a game I love conceptually. In application I have mixed feelings. It's the first thing I reach for when I'm thinking gritty, realistic (not really, but a gameable approximation) with tactical options.. I spend a ton of...

    Musings On Post Apocalyptic RPGs

    I think the biggest mechanical element for me is resource management. I know it’s gets boring for a lot of people though. After that it becomes a decision about what kind of PA game your looking for. Action? Gritty realism? Science-Fantasy elements? Sun-systems that drive the kind of game...

    D&D 4E Gamma World (7E) Post-Mortem

    I run Deadlands and Rippers in the same universe. Leverage a lot of the Deadlands assets with a more Victorian screampunk setting rather than the Old West which I too am rather meh about.

    D&D 4E Gamma World (7E) Post-Mortem

    I love these. I’m always glad to see impressions and outcomes. Highly recommend Savage Pathfinder.

    Multiple Games Stat Blocks

    As a user, I’d be fine with star blocks in appendices or as a separate smaller booklet.

    Grade the Modiphius 2d20 System

    I gave it a run for four sessions or so of Achtung! Cthulhu and was a player in the Falliut playtest. I found the system in an awkward spot between narrative games and crunchy ones. I prefer a traditional combat system generally though I don’t hate zones per se. I found it awkward trying to...

    I'm Ready For A New [BLANK] RPG

    This and @Retreater comments have at least made me think about what it would take for me to come back to a D&D branded game.

    I'm Ready For A New [BLANK] RPG

    Yeah I have it. It’s very good and I run a lot of Savage Worlds. But I can’t run it out of the box for SR. As a foundation it is great. In some ways better than Sprawlrunners. Back on topic I’d like to see a new Blades in the Dark with a more traditional bent. I love so much of what Blades...

    I'm Ready For A New [BLANK] RPG

    Earthdawn is a great choice. I ran some 4e and while I love the setting the rules were not for me. Genesys would be awesome here, a credible SWADE hack, even something crunchy like HERO or GURPS. My choice would be Shadowrun. It has great, great setting content but the rules are a hot...

    What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Used A Different System?

    There is an extensive fan conversion ready to run for Savage Worlds Star Wars. I've seen it POD'd. It's impressive. As to the subject at hand - I'd like to John Carter in Savage Worlds I'd like to see Inifinity (the skirmish war game) in GURPS I'd also like to see Fallout in something other...

    Grade the Pathfinder 2E Game System

    Leverage their Archetype system. At level 1 you pick your class Archetype (sub- class) and that fills in the class feat blanks as you level. Skill feats could be tree’d up the same way. I want to go with the Healer Skill Spec which means I get the healer appropriate fears as a group up front...
