https://grimandperilous.com/thanks-for-all-the-fish/ I had to look to make sure it wasn't April already. WTF? That "most of the team" bit seems like there's more to the story

Courtesy of Hans on RPG Geek. 2023 KICKSTARTER RPG REPORT DISCUSSION POINTS: I'm going to put this at the top because it's probably what must people want to read first. * 2023 saw the greatest number of projects ever (1754), beating the previous record in 2021 (1396). * 2023 had the 2nd...

Foundry VTT is now open testing Crucible to all Foundry VTT Owners https://foundryvtt.com/packages/crucible It's specific to Foundry and is VTT only. Not something I'm really interested in- it's too constraining. But they say it uses features that only a VTT would be able to replicate. But...

With the death of David Drake, I started thinking about my influences. They range all over the place for me. Writers Vince Flynn/Kyle Mills Daniel Silva David Drake Steven Barnes Steve Perry Erik Scott de Bie Matthew Woodring Stover Dan Abnett Anthony Ryan Brian McClellan Glen Cook Richard...

My Rankings (The Correct Ones, unlike the above) 1. (tie) Sweet Potato Fries 1. (tie) Curly fries - sorta coasting on their form factor, waffle fries are technically better 3. (tie) Steak fries - assuming they are indeed fried twice 3. (tie) Waffle fries - technically a better texture than...

I've started to work on my campaign, and have my first stab at it. I'm putting down my thoughts, to actually get somewhere with it and get the ideas out to my players sooner than I would otherwise. Rough Timeline (no years stubbed in yet) 1. Technological Advances lead to humanity discovering...

Justin on the Alexandrian has an interesting installment on Bluebooking I'd forgotten that Strikeforce was where I'd gotten the idea to do that, though my uses have evolved over the years. Does anyone else use the technique?

https://cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2023/06/17/weekend-update-6-17-2023/ I mean, this wouldn't hold up in court, but they're effectively bullying a smaller company. And the game isn't really big, though I do dig the system and it gives me ideas. Their response on their Discord: I wish the...

There was a thread on RPGG about Social Skills and their applications against PCs. Though I know that in some games, the Players have to know everything that's going on because of meta-currency and other considerations, I was surprised at how many people seem to think that not lying to your...

Over in the Kickstarter thread, there was talk about how the direction Kickstarter has moved in has affected smaller publishers, i.e. the fact that these days you have to have something concrete to show (a draft at the least) is stifling creators. Well, numbers help show the trends, right? And...

It appears that there is a new player in the OGL space, and they have nabbed a few IPs that I'm interested in, even if I'm not overly interested in d20 games. Everyday Heroes seems to want to capture the d20 Modern crowd - even to the point of having a special edition that looks like d20...

Just received an email - Free League Launches New Licenses For Year Zero Engine & Dragonbane

I saw this on Mastodon and thought it would be interesting to try here: I don't know the answers to all of them for myself (and I don't even understand 19) but still interesting, and I'll try to answer a bit later.

Just that. Usually it's pretty snappy, but a lot of features of the site are really slow- I hit new posts and it takes minutes to show. I click a response, and it takes seconds to respond. I drop down the notifications menu, and it takes many seconds to respond, etc, etc. To give an idea, I...

Shamelessly pulled from another post and I couldn't be futzed to file off the serial numbers: A lot has been happening of late, revolving around Satine Phoenix and Jamison Stone. I have no knowledge of the truth or otherwise, I am just reporting on the stories that are running rampant on the...

The Sixth Gun Role-playing Game (2015) also The Powder Mage Roleplaying Game (2018)

I didn't see a generic thread for site problems, so excuse me if there is one. I wanted to see if it was just me, or if it was something I was missing with notifications, or of there really is a problem. I'll tag threads to watch them, and it seems to work fine. But after a while, I stop being...

https://cortexrpg.site/Community-License Still leaves a lot to be desired, and the fact that you can't release even for free on platforms puts a damper on things. And the fact that if you make a new mechanic, they claim ownership of it. I really don't get why Fandom wants to maintain a...

I've been talking about doing my Transhuman/Conspiracy Horror campaign for a while, and it is preparing to start. With this group, I haven't been the GM (other than a one-to-one I had with one player for playtesting a Gumshoe one-to-one game), and the GM hasn't really played in any of our games...
