    Modiphius - Cohors Cthulhu

    "OK, OK, calm down! Now, only one of you can play a character who's essentially Maximus from Gladiator. In order to settle this you shall have to fight in this arena I have constructed //gestures towards previously unseen stuff in back garden// Well, you did say you wanted greater immersion!"

    I'm looking forward to Blade Runner.

    As much as I love the original film, Deckard isn't the hero and the Bladerunners are the bad guys. They hunt and kill without mercy escaped slaves. Having them as the focus of an rpg is just way off for me.

    Fancy Dice

    Some of those just give me a migraine looking at them! I'm very much in the "plain colours and easily readable numbers at the gaming table" camp.

    101 Funny and Serious D&D Lore Tidbits from My Games

    109 seems like pretty sound strategy to me.

    The New A/State RPG and why I’ve decided not to back the kickstarter.

    If you love the first ed then I don't think you have anything to worry about with 2nd ed. Its got all the stuff that make the setting unique, but it feels even more alive (right term?) Been reading it over the weekend (yes, I know, it's a bank holiday in England and I'm sitting inside reading...

    The Big Generation X Nostalgia Thread

    I found to my cost the first time I did something like this that the combination of jam (jelly is clearly for our cousins across the water!) and peanut butter, heated just a little too much, is basically napalm for the mouth.

    GURPS: If you could only buy ONE GURPS book...

    Wow. I had totally forgotten they existed. I loved the Witch World books but have never actually looked at the GURPS supplement.

    The New A/State RPG and why I’ve decided not to back the kickstarter.

    Reading through the alpha pdf of a/state2 there are some relatively subtle setting changes (like what were 'macrocorps' are now 'trusts', and the names of some of them have changed. I quite like the changes actually). And there's some good stuff on the weird aspects of the game that was never in...

    What are y'all up to these days?

    Finally (finally!) coming off of about 6 months of relentless 12 hour shifts, which has meant very little time for anything other than commuting, working, sleeping, and occasional eating. Thank heavens that's over for now. Hopefully getting back into some games. As I mentioned elsewhere, my mate...

    Tell us about something good that you got recently

    My mate Al has MB, but we've not got around to playing it yet. Looks good though.

    92 and 93 gave me a LOL moment for sure.

    Tell us about something good that you got recently

    Would it be worth picking up at some point? What's your take on it so far?

    Tell us about something good that you got recently

    a/state 2nd edition PDF just got released to backers. Its very nice. Not had much of a chance to do more than flick through it but there are lots of differences to Blades in the Dark and the book looks amazing.

    GURPS: If you could only buy ONE GURPS book...

    GURPS New Sun. Maybe doesn't quite capture the books, but interesting.

    a|state 2nd edition - who would have figured?

    Nearly 1000 backers and 54 grand in backing seems pretty good to me, especially when Delta Green and Avatar have been sucking in all the Kickstarter attention and money. I've not backed many Kickstarters, but this one seemed to be very grounded and sensible - concentrating on expanding the core...

    Thinking about 1920's/30's Spy game set in Europe

    Pretty adaptable for games that rely on trust/tension no matter what the period/setting. I've played in con games for CC set in Medici era Italy, HW on a space station slowly crashing into a gas giant, etc. Strip away the period trapping from both and you have a really solid set of mechanics and...

    Thinking about 1920's/30's Spy game set in Europe

    Sounding like broken record but Cold City or Hot War would work well from pretty much any spy/espionage game. In different ways they both capture a lot of the uncertain grey-areaness of espionage, and the ways in which trusts and relationships work within that genre. I also think that ebfore he...

    a|state 2nd edition - who would have figured?

    Ah, right. Got you. That's good to hear. Looking forward to see what's contained in that chapter. Fair enough. It would be really great to see a/state better supported than it was before. More books on The City areas, different groups in the City and stuff would be nice to see. And supplements...

    a|state 2nd edition - who would have figured?

    So will all the locations that appeared in the first edition appear in this new version? How much support is there for this stuff? It was vague in 1st edition, so it would be good to get an understanding of how it's developed in this new version. That's good to know - the support for the...

    a|state 2nd edition - who would have figured?

    Hi Jacob - you work for Handiwork, right? If so, I might have a few questions for you and the a/state team (particularly Malcolm - any way you might persuade him to join here and answer himself?), if that's ok? Are the locations inthe new edition of the game going to be from the 1st edition or...
