    Awesome Character Sheets

    heh, I actually aped that style for what is essentially a Cortex Firefly sheet.

    Favorite Random Character Gen

    I've been completely delighted by Sentinel Comics. you still have a ton of control, since the randomization just takes you from 20 options per stage to two or three (each of which has a bunch of choices) — but it's brilliant for when you're hitting writer's block for your characters.

    EXALTED in Cortex Prime

    ok. everything in Blood and Fire 2 and everything in Blood and Fire 3 can be expressed in either Plus or Prime terms. but there are enough differences between the versions to be important. the Plus version is basically just a reskinned MHR, and the Prime version saw Jeremy exploring different...

    (SciFi) Starship Blueprints

    I saw the canon Nova show up a couple times in the thread — I started work on a Kelvin Timeline film era Nova, but never actually finished it because that game never got off the ground. I might have to jump back into this at some point...

    Favorite Systems

    also absolutely stealing Vik's (and Butcher's) list. except that my region settings insist "favourite" is misspelled, so gonna "fix" that, lol. I'd probably answer "Cortex" to almost all of these, so I'm gonna try to go outside my box. (with maybe some Cortex parentheticals) Favorite adaption...

    What games do you feel you have a strong command of the system?

    I don't think I could claim this anymore, but while I was playing them I had a fairly comprehensive system mastery of D&D 3.5e and 4e, and M&M 2e (I didn't get to play 3e much, but it seemed weirdly both so similar but off enough to require care). while I dearly love PbtA/FitD/Resistance, I...

    Setting neutral lifepath generators that you enjoy

    the pathways in Smallville are my favorite variation on lifepaths (it's collaborative with the whole play group, and generates the setting as well), but it's pretty heavily biased towards CW-style super-opera. but! Cortex Prime just came out, and it's got a simpler, generalized version that can...

    Cortex Prime

    ooh, ooh, I wanna see it. (when you're comfortable sharing that is) also, I threw a bunch of the little graphicy widgets I've been using in my sheets into a CC-0 thingy. I made some different choices regarding dice shape (like the d4 and d12 are flipped from Fandom's for example), and there's...

    Dear RPG Writers: Please give me an actual short form of your rules.

    regarding flowcharts, I threw this together at some point for Cortex. between Cortex, Fate, and PbtA games, I don't think a lot of what I'm playing lately is complex enough to require ye olde three-panel DM screen. that said, PbtA (the games with well-designed playbooks anyway) and D&D 4e (with...

    Dragonlance lawsuit filed

    I think it's pointed out a few times that it's pronounced similarly to cardamom, so I've always used that to assume hard C.

    Cortex Prime PDF Ships to Backers

    physical copies went to KS backers, which included some commercial backers, who may have put their KS copies on shelves before the 20th. the 20th was the official street date, and FLGSs who weren't in the KS could put them on shelves. everything seems to be going through Atlas right now — Fandom...

    Cortex Prime

    absolutely zero effort. you just do it. you want a trait set to be explicitly "Mind / Body / Social / Soul"? bam, done. (in fact, I did exactly this for Heroes of Metal & Bone) every trait in Cortex is what you make of it. every trait set in Cortex is only limited by how you define it in-game...

    Cortex Prime

    imo, there is a version of Fate that does a great job at two-column builds. give ya one guess who helped write it, and what other game it mysteriously resembles.

    Cortex Prime

    I've made kind of a pile of character sheets for Cortex, and in the last few days I've started to go back and make rulesheets for some of them too. feel free to AMA, if you want "explanations of what decisions were made and why" — there's also a ton of great discussion on the Discord. you...

    Lifepath Rpgs

    the Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide had a serial-numbers-filed-off version of it, and like @Ladybird points out Cortex Prime (releasing in 17 days I guess?) also covers Pathways — but not nearly to the extent as Smallville, and one of its expansions: The Watchtower Report. I'm hoping that as Prime...

    Lifepath Rpgs

    surprised not to see Smallville's Pathways mentioned yet. the entire group collaborates with each other during the process, and the various character elements are laid out on a monstrous mind-map, with linking arrows turning the whole thing into a web full of plot hooks, NPCs, setting details...

    I really want to run a shroompunk game.

    I personally adore the Alice-in-Wonderland / fish-out-of-water situation, and the 1993 film utterly shapes my conception of what you've been talking about. also (and you know this) I'm partial to Cortex, but I'm still interested no matter what poll choices win out.

    (PBP) Knights of the Mushroom Kingdom (BoL)

    ok. fine. I'll bite. this sounds amazing. so, here's what I'm thinking. I figure listing distinctions could be almost as good as a paragraph or two? Parkour Enthusiast Way Too Into VtM LARPing Literally, Can't Even they seem like such disparate traits, but the intersection of all three seems...
