    Kickstarters Thread

    I'm not a fan of using D&D derivatives as the basis for superhero games. It sort-of worked with M&M, but every other case of it I've seen I disliked.

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    Yeah, I'd find that kind of steep, honestly.

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    I'm unclear what the difference is, then.

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    I'm still confused, then, I think; what's the difference between subscribing and purchasing in this case?

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    Ah, there it is. The lack of ability to reinstall is a dealbreaker; I've had to do that with software too much to consider a product that doesn't permit that more than a long term lease.

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    What works against FG is that its a subscription service. I realize I didn't mention that previously, but while I'm willing to put out money, I'm not willing to do so repeatedly.

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    I can do an install fine. Coding--it depends. Maptool requires very little of that for its basic functions (there's more if you want to go down the macro rabbit hole).

    Theory The Forge - Essays on RPG Theory

    A lot of RPG theory is, functionally, trying to develop language to talk to other people about what works for some people and not for others and problem areas. The big problem is it only tends to survive a limited time; I saw this years ago with r.g.f.a.

    R.I.P., Astral Tabletop

    My own feeling is that I don't want to be dependent on anyone else's servers. Among the big names, that seems to consist of Foundry and only Foundry. (There are a lot of lesser ones where that's true including the one I actually use--Maptool). That said, I don't expect a lot of automation...

    They've certainly had no lack of material output.

    Bundle of Holding Thread

    Yeah, I'm thinking of picking that up even though if I ran a version of SR these days it'd probably be 4e or 5e.

    Do you actively run Supers RPGs at your table

    For a while I was running a BASH UE game; it ended prematurely, but for reasons that were more social in nature than anything to do with the system.

    The 'PF2ER' thread - now that it's out, what do you think?

    Its unlikely to change your opinion about any of these. That said, I've heard the organization is better which might have some impact on your #1 above.

    Forgotten RPGs

    Well, in the RPG field, a classic example is Shadowrun; as you take damage, you start taking penalties to actions. This, of course, makes it more likely, sometimes directly, that you'll take even more. Thus, "death spiral".

    Forgotten RPGs

    I used to have mixed feelings because while I saw some of the problems you have with it, I thought they served certain purposes in a more "realistic" (if someone doesn't like that, sub in a word that suits them) sort of campaign. I've since come to the conclusion after a lot of years of work...

    BRP The Edition Wars To End All Wars

    Same. I've kind of moved away from BRP, but I'm always willing to give a system a chance to evolve, and I like the RoL setting, so...

    Forgotten RPGs

    I'm surprised you can even find the originals.

    Forgotten RPGs

    My memory is crap, honestly; I just remember because I thought the setting was really interesting (being a big post-apoc fan at the time) and really liked the system in theory then (since then I don't think death spirals are a particularly great thing on either game or realism grounds, but then...

    Forgotten RPGs

    Okay, thought so, but its been, well, a long, long time.

    Forgotten RPGs

    The gods business was actually later; the original was (and I'm going by memory here) some unknown source involving orbiting "entities" that were suppressing higher tech--but it actually took a perceptible length of time for them to notice you were using it; I remember a bit of business with...
