We thought this same thing too! But here is why we went with this rule and it was better = It results in the same. Roll 5 times, and eventually they do it roll 6 times, and they did it but you had to offer concessions, or do favors etc. Roll 7 times, and it fails and they are not going to...

Blades in the Dark does things like this. You set up a Clock with 4, 6, or 8 segments. Then each time the players do a thing to set-back the enemy's overall plans, add a tick to the clock. If the enemy completes their plans before the clock is full, the plans go off as intended by...

Please do! I would love to hear how it works for other groups :D

James Bond meets Final Fantasy 8

We moved to using this rule for most all games when it comes to 'persuasion' or negotiation or even interrogation rolls... = Success = you did it, they will do it this one time... Fail = they counter offer, they will do it but... (you or GM picks one) It will cost you something extra first...

Flashbacks from Blades in the Dark. They take the panic and faff out of any game.

So I want to know more about everyone's experience with Glorantha and RuneQuest. I have two main questions as I peruse the books for you all = - If you cold switch it all to another system, which system would it be? - If you like the current BRP system, what matters most to you about it...

You asked for some character suggestions, and some folks gave them in good faith. Cool Cool.. But.. um... your response is not doing... anything. Where is your response of how this works in your system? Just stating the word "dragon style" means nothing. Where are the completed character...

Vampire the Masquerade would absolutely have this level of mishmash. Tzimisce at worst, Nosferatu at best, Bali if you are abusive = swamp thing. Beyoncé = Toreador Sir Galahad = Brujah ............................. GURPS can do this, and GURPS, for us, isn't fun to play. FATE can do...

Yeah! Please, run as you like. :D Plus, depending on how long you want to run, different options and setups can make total sense. :) I have run 2 full Trilogy films in this rule set, that is gaming 4 hours a week, every week for 2 years. So we have a LOT of hours into this and I am happy...

I would like to see more PBTA games go the direction of Pasion de las Pasiones. Here is my 7th Sea hack of it, (link, its free) simply to demonstrate how the system works very very well in other genres and game styles. Basically, it comes down to this = - the [tags] system of CoM, and LitM...

I did not like Burned Over, it made changes that took away from the game. Kinda how Deep Cuts was really not fun for us for Blades in the Dark.... But we play AW regular and BitD regular lots lots, so we love these games. There are issues with AW, and we do have to ignore like 80% of the...

Because you are making a false dichotomy of minutia. "I roll to pick the lock" = where does the point of failure interrupt? the pick breaking? the lock opening a bit then jamming? taking too long to pick and getting caught? I can think of more... .."You tried to pick the lock and...

Conan is far from low fantasy by its spell effects. While the setting its self has no elves or flying dragons, those are easy to put in. The magic rules on the other hand, are in many ways far more powerful and far more magic than even D&D. There are spells to essentially split the earth...

Yeah, the crunch is a bit different for them all, but not as much as it may seem once you are very familiar with how Momentum works. So here are my recommendations = - Start with Fallout The reason why is that most players will be to some degree familiar or very familiar with the setting...

Sooooooo I want to comment on the last bit of the video = Monte talking about "we will offer clearer types. You want a barbarian here is a baked up barbarian ready to go." I have been thinking this for ages, and honestly = yeah, people still like and crave and find great use in 'typed...

Not to give you a hard time, but....... Fairly certain I have posted this to you at least once, if not several times. :) But just in case = C.A.T.S. Use this and make agreements during Session 0 Concept This is the main concept of the game and the type of overall plots everyone wants to...

LMGTFY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Card#:~:text=The%20X%2DCard%20is%20an,holding%20up%20the%20X%2DCard.

Yeah, its part person, and part medications. So that's a whole other thing. (and not limited to a single person either...) I will be honest, for decades I had not really "seen" it before... until I did. Just like with bad systems that players willfully gloss over, I finally noticed that...

Yes. Here are a few examples = X-Card = . "You are limiting my fun". Player A wanted to make some bad choice that would get them into trouble or even dead. By and large, this choice would not affect other player characters, or it would but only in a tangential way. Player B cast a spell...
