Sure, this is how we played Melee. Rather like the way En Garde! developed its social milieu, we started off with a series of pit fights but eventually we wanted to know what happened to our characters when they weren't in the arena, so first there was a tavern they all visited between bouts...

The Cabin Boy's "promposal" to his girlfriend was yesterday. There was scenery and a costume. There was a soundtrack and light effects. There was a crew of four. There was a dress rehearsal. There was two-camera videography. It was a PRODUCTION.

I like sketchy. I like loose. I like adding meat to the bones.

Could be both.

I don't usually have that kinda room.

A lasso's a ranged grappling attack. A net's a ranged area grappling attack. If you're up to speed on how grappling works in whatever system you're using, then whips, nets et al become relatively straightforward to adjudicate.

Noisms has an interesting data point to consider: The OSR is Much, Much Bigger Than You Think Another thought: this explains why tabletop roleplaying games in general continue to be a going concern.

Here's my not-analogy. If I'm a prospective player in your game, I'm going to ask you, "Do you fudge rolls? I prefer to play the dice where they lay, so if that's not cool with you, I'd like to know." You say fudging is in the rules of many roleplaying games, and that's true: the OPTION may be...

Try rolling them on a snare drum.

Can confirm. :thumbsup:

Cultists. The 1975 movie Race with The Devil freaked me the fuck out when I was a kid, especially since we had an RV. Something along the line of Race . . . crossed with The Blair Witch Project, with some Mythos undertones could fit the bill. A little foreshadowing with people in town or at the...

Ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It's one of the reasons that 'classic' Traveller - "Pensioners in SPAAAAACE!" - remains one of my favorite roleplaying games.
