Synopsis
The...
Fantasy and sci-fi painting and illustration.
Godzilla and other kaiju films and figure collecting.
I mean, the above are my other hobbies anyway. However, if something were to REPLACE RPGs, it would probably be fiction writing, or at least writing world-building guides for fictional worlds ala...
Lightspeed RPG
has all the scifi tropes including robotics, aliens, cyborgs, mutants, psychic powers, VR, etc.
Has at least a dozen stellar nations with diverse shticks for PC backgrounds:
Good guy Federation inspired by Star Trek
Evil Totalitarian Empire inspired by Star Wars
Ultra-Capitalist...
Might I humbly suggest Lightspeed by (ahem) Christian Conkle.
A humano-centric galaxy.
Kitchen sink sandbox setting with lots of factions.
Makes reference to every major sci-fi setting trope of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Easily customizable setting.
Several supplements.
I sold the rights to this...
Another atrocity on that aforementioned character sheet was "SDEXM OD"
Again, to this day, anytime someone needs to say "Dex Mod" in D&D, it's pronounced "Suhdexim Odd".
It's not the most common, but the funniest typo was in the Mongoose d20 Conan RPG where they did a global search and replace of lb with lb. to standardize the abbreviation for "pounds" of weight.
Except it was such a terrible editing job, every instance of the word "spellbook" became...
There was a lot of debate - and even more discussion on my Discord https://discord.gg/6j9mHe6w
I have settled for sure with a version compatible with Stars Without Number.
Part of me really wants to make a version compatible with Star Frontiers, but I think that's the same issue as XXVc, People...
In a recent thread on another site, the consensus seemed to prefer porting the original setting to a new simpler system like SWN.
I also took a lot of notes on updates to the setting, which is why this isn't a new edition of Overlords of Dimension-25. I'm moving it to our dimension but in the...
Not quite a typo, but people saying "player" when they meant "player character".
As in "Three players died during last week's session!"
Another not quite typo that bugs the crap out of me is when people pronounce "golem" as "gollum".
No! No no no! It's "GO-LEM"!
People ask me, "Christian, how do you make any money if you're giving away your product for absolutely free? What's your business strategy?"
"The answer is simple, Volume."
Ahem, Challengers of Vanth has a core book and eleven sourcebooks (three Opponent Opuscules, seven adventures, and one Persona Portfolio). :goof:
Plus an Excel-based character generator.
And easy-to-read illustrations and layout.
But yes. I agree with you about all the rest.
I just found the Net Mekton Zeta Sourcebook (Nemesis) 2.3 file on the Mekton Zeta facebook group. Unfortunately, no Armored Core mechs were in that one. I mean, if it did they'd be AC mecha from 2002.
That's what I wound up doing a lot, but eventually, at a certain point, if every task is easy so the players can feel better about the characters - why not just increase the skill percentage?
Yeah, but one-minute rounds for character-v-character combat?
My first take was to limit uses of...
Yeah, same here. It's a nitpicky detail that never comes up in the game and has no bearing on gameplay or mechanics.
My personal challenge was to run it pulp-STYLE but still trying to maintain the hard science. I wanted to create a pulp sci fi setting with the real-world physics and astronomy...
