I do have an idea for a steampunk game. But the idea has so many uncertain, undefined aspects that it would benefit from the restrictions of a game system. And seeing how different systems restrict the idea could spark some good ideas (I hope anyway.) In the end I suspect the idea is not...

Yeah, that was my mistake. I meant newcomer to toolbox RPGs. Which I did not realize sounds like newcomer to all RPGs.

The PDF prices of D6 Space, D6 Adventure, and D6 Fantasy are great! Is there any advantage to one of the versus the others?

Let me try to be helpful and be more specific. The dream toolbox RPG would support all the play styles 😆 But a more realistically possible one would probably have modularity that allows changing different play elements to fit a specific campaign idea. It would probably have a default play style...

There are some really cool setting books for Savage Worlds! I am definitely interested.

I found the Book of Hanz is online as part of the Fate SRD site. It looks really good!

I don’t feel ready to invent new PbtA moves yet 😆 Although, creating new moves does seem like a powerful tool. I am curious why Openquest or another variant of Basic Role Playing is preferred. Is it that some of the variants are more streamlined or just better explained? I got the impression...

I really like this post! One thing I hope toolbox RPGs will help me with: I have these half formed campaign world ideas, where I don’t really have anything for the characters to do 😆 I also think that well worked examples and detailed guidance is critical. I feel caught in the bind of not...

I am really appreciate the Fate world books recommendation. While they focus on Fate I find they are a great resource of ideas. So far I have only read the description of most of them. But so many of them have cool ideas. Savage Worlds has a bunch of great settings, thank you for the...

If this is referring to sealioning. I wonder who you think is doing it and why?

There is so much to unpack here. First, bad faith and brain fog should not be linked by the statement "person's state of mind." Brain fog refers to a slight cognitive impairment, if used medically, being absent-minded, or "out of it," otherwise. Bad faith refers to communication where one...

Bad faith argument. I responded to your claim with evidence. You did not respond at all with counterclaims. You repeated your initial claim.

Push back for what purpose? I am getting frustrated/concerned with what feels like replies written from brain-fogged individuals. (A "feels like" statement separates what I identify as an emotional response from what would be a factual event) -Almost verbatim repetition of canned, generally...

There are so many Worlds of Adventure books!! I don't know where to start with them. Fate Worlds of Adventure Archives - Evil Hat Productions Which ones do you like best?

I was unclear that my context had changed to engaging with friends and colleagues with the cognitive overload symptoms discussed in the thread. I apologize that it seemed that I wanted to confront people on this forum.

I am not saying anybody should do anything. I find that my daily walks around the neighborhood are helpful if I try to notice all the changes around me. I focus on the birds I see, the new flowers I see, the butterflies, dragonflies, and squirrels. I don't know if it is engaging my mind in...

What would be the cure for this kind of brain fogged thinking? -Awareness seems ineffective. Or people hear about these issues, agree that it is happening, and then act the same way. -Confronting people seems ineffective. It's seen as an attack and not an observation. -Presenting material that...

It's probably a leap to consider the effects of what you are describing (and I agree with) to a link in cognitive abilities, but it certainly makes my next car trip a horrifyingly suspenseful trip 😱

(Ban everyone, just kidding) I know there is nothing to do (or maybe nothing I can think of.) My mother-in-law is suffering from a worsening onset of dementia. So maybe I am seeing the symptoms of dementia everywhere?

I am getting frustrated/concerned with what feels like replies written from brain-fogged individuals. -Almost verbatim repetition of canned, generally accepted online viewpoints. -No sharing of personal experience. -No consideration of implications. -Low to no consideration of the original post...
