"In hindsight," Mummy said, embarrassedly looking down towards the floor over the rim of his tea cup, "it was a regrettable idea to teach him."

Vengeful Driver + Saboteur = F1 Tension (At the 1966 Mexico Grand Prix, in this case.)

It was years ago now but I ran some SW games for my group under the d6 system after we bounced off another SW game. And it held up quite well! There are some aspects that I think still clashed with SW-style action, and I'd re-arrange the attributes/skills a bit, but as a foundation d6 is a...

Haha... we rarely did stuff in a city and even when we did we never broke out the skidding rules. I think deep down we knew why... ;) As an energy-heavy player... I didn't like ammo kabooms which is probably why I energy boated. :P I'm with you -- just don't go into battle with the ammo if...

Och, I meant to post here after reading the results document and then lost it in the shuffle... thanks for pinging it back to the top! :) Glad they ditched the side torso overkill! Will need to look again at the consolidated piloting revisions, but alleviating the "I took more damage from...

(Dead) Bodies everywhere; not by us.

Another Gen Xer 'reporting for duty'. :)

Assault on the archeological ruin! (Truthfully we are on an archeological expedition, but there wasn't really an assault... I found it humorous to follow the trend of the previous two posts ;))

That is my next step, to at least see it in action or, even better, play with it at the table, so I can get a more full sense of it. Though I have a bit of the same Aldarc issue where there are other games that I'd rather see/try first that keep getting stacked in front of it. :) (If anyone...

That was it, the Magister. And indeed, looking at the TOC it's right there on page 53, the Wand of Teeth. Great classic supplement.

SW/SWADE is funny for me. I know lots of people love it (one of my best friends has run multiple campaigns in it), which has led me to read through it multiple times to try and get into it. Yet it seems to live in this awkward "uncanny valley" for me where it has neither enough mechanical heft...

Wow, that cover has a deeper recognizability to me than I would've realized or guessed. Might be because of the Top Secret article that I likely referenced often (I mean, machine guns and rocket launchers? Heck yeah! ;)). And "multiple tables" with a string of nearly undecipherable...

Late to the game here, but I do like metacurrency. Perhaps it's because it has been in my gaming toolbox since the first RPG I bought/played, TSR's Top Secret.* It isn't a hard requirement for me to like or enjoy a game system, and there are even ways where it can be not quite a detriment but...

Great, thanks! I voted based on the "survive" idea as in "if I were starting up a campaign tomorrow, what systems would immediately come to mind to use?" And for that there are three + D&D*. One of those systems is my own, so I didn't vote for that ;) while another (Legend in the Mist) is...

I've been in the hobby for 35+ years. I both given away and sold fan-made supplements though magazine classified ads, usenet forums, personal website, and online marketplaces such as DTRPG and DMsguild. For 95% of that time, gen AI wasn't a thing, and so my works are light on imagery and what...

Cortex Prime would definitively be in my top 3, could it be added please? :)

Just to close the loop on this, the name of the game is Anima Prime. :) (Note that I have not played it so can't opine on how well or not it runs in practice/at the table.)

I want to give this many thumbs up both for its sentiment and because it well articulates (in a way I might not have myself been able to put my finger on it). Just about any mechanic has examples of where it was executed with great elegance and examples where it was poorly done. Similarly...

Hmm, our adventures should've had a crossover! ;)

Maestro violin showdown in Venice! (Final session of the adventure "Echoes of the Fugue Aeternum")
