I like the idea of forming an RPG troupe in which everyone learns a system together and players switch off in the GM role. Everyone has a character or a few, but whoever is GMing has theirs sit out. Then, after the one-shot or short arc, the previous GM becomes a player and someone else runs...

Sorry, my low vision missed that.

I already have this in PDF from EN5ider, and print books aren’t very accessible for me anymore. Is there anything new in this version, besides there being a print copy?

So there is no paradox in refusing to accept intolerance. ——— As far as removing the power of an attack by “owning it” before the attack can be launched, I call it the “8 Mile Defense” because in that film, the rapper B. Rabbit disarms his rap battle opponent by self-deprecation, admitting to...

I am wary of randomness as a rule, and have always thought it bizarre that, in D&D and similar RPGs of that era, you get to choose almost everything else about a character, but not their ability distribution which plays such an important role is which roles you can effectively play. Some want...

Back to the game, I appreciate how you managed to combine randomness with fairness in character creation. I generally prefer the choices and fairness of point-buy ability scores, but I understand that some people still find it fun to randomly roll stats. When GMing, it’s harder to balance...

Sure, if it's "not for everybody" in the sense that it wouldn't suit everyone's taste, that's inevitable. As long as it's written to be inclusive enough for anyone who wants to be involved, that's what matters. I got Now & Next. Does the LQ version have fewer speckles behind the text? I'm...

Great, thanks. I’m going to skip the Kickstarter, but I’ll be interested to see the system cleaned up, and I still enjoy the mutant animal concept, even if the system, and its owners, may not be great. I know the system is a hodgepodge mess, as were the early couple editions of D&D, but TMNT...

Is MItN a conversion guide, and where is it available?

Example of the basic BIO-E options. I don't know about a wolf needing 3 growth steps to equal a human in mass, though.

Mutations in TMNT&OS are handled through a system of points called BIO-E. You spend them to have animal traits or humanoid traits: Human Looks, Hands, Bipedalism, and Speech. BIO-E not spent on humanoid traits can be spent on whatever special abilities the animal might have, such as flight for...

I have FoundryVTT and would like to use it, but it’s not accessible to anyone who sets their display above 100%. Mine is at 125% for visual accessibility, and there’s not only a huge pester-message banner on top, there are important buttons which get cut off on the bottom. I’m aware of and use...

That's just a graphic, but in the era before resale speculation, you actually used the stuff you liked. Just be glad there's only some scuffing, rather than a corner or two rebuilt with tape.

Looks like Akanni’s ability scores are still off by a point. From December last year: “Akanni is an Adept, with the STR build: 16 13 14 10 14 8 With 27 point-buy or array, that started as: 15 12 14 10 13 8 The Acolyte background increased WIS, which is the set point, and STR, as that’s the only...

Monsters like dragons, gods, and magic are all fantasy; rivers are not. If ‘Thunder River’ is Indeed a river, which way does it flow? Water flows downhill, so if one ocean is of higher elevation than the other, then it’s also higher elevation than the land between them, and it would swamp the...

The game that was similar to HeroQuest, but randomly built with tiles, is Warhammer Quest. The base game has 4 characters, a bunch monster minis, and a bunch of tiles & corridors to connect them. Going to town was often more risky than the dungeon because you didn’t get any choice about what...

Ah well, I think it’s hilarious. Because proponents of a moral panic don’t actually read or otherwise know the media they attack, the anti-comics nutters don’t seem to have noticed the 616 thing. It’s kinda like how the anti-D&D satanic panic crap never seemed to notice that the ideal stat...

About Marvel’s Earth 616; the earliest versions of the book of revelation give the number of the beast as 616. That’s because the Romans weren’t the only culture to use letters as numerals, and the name ‘Nero Caesar‘ adds up to a different number depending on the letter-numerals the author...

I'd like a spell-less start with a few options to add spellcasting via subclass. Some of the options could have a built-in minor version of Subtle Spell, so while you're mechanically casting a spell, it's easy to reflavor. Aragorn's use of athelas would be an example: he said a few words...
