@Trippy and @Edgewise talking about this convinced me to take the plunge and I ordered a hardcopy, reading the pdf and about half way through The Black Madonna campaign while I wait for it to arrive. First off, yes it is a modified PbtA mechanic. If you hate that system this won't change your...

Not sure if this intrudes on the no-politics rule but I'm a bit fascinated by the old (1984) Christian RPG Dragonraid. It was created by Dick Wulf as a Protestant Christian alternative to D&D. Apparently they received a lot of blowback for even trying such a thing during the Satanic Panic even...

This was sparked in me from another thread here. I’m usually a mid-to-light crunch player and GM but get the appeal of heavy crunch. But it often seems to me that the heavy crunch doesn’t feel ‘right’ for a lot of games. So, for me, I don’t see why a fantasy game, or superhero game would be...

It's a sad day. I just found out that Steve Jackson Games is going to be shutting down Pyramid Magazine at the end of December. :sad::cry: Here's Steven Marsh's announcement: There's a few posts in the thread from the standard "doom and gloom" and "ZOMG!" panic crowd, but for the most part...

So, the OTU has PCs dealing with the secrets of the Ancients and even the Primordials from time to time, but nary a word is said as to how that really affects a character's sanity, let alone their understanding of how (and why) humans were scattered throughout the stars (as well as why the...

I'm not usually one to Kick the Start but there have been a few projects that caught my interest recently and I figure I may as well grab the pdf at least. Mike Evans of DIY RPG Productioms (Hubris, Gathox Vertical Slum) is publishing Zak Smith's (aka. Sabbath) next game DEMON CITY, a not-OSR...

Date: 131/1116 Location: Darmon's Lucky Star, Regina Downport Startown World/Sector: Regina - Regina Subsector/Spinward Marches 1910 @Krajin and @Daniel Martinez One would think that you wouldn't be able to find a dive on a cosmopolitan world such as Regina, but yet here the two of you are. A...

Intro Music Character Generation Character generation is handled using the rules presented in Chapter Two of the Pendragon 5th edition rulebook (5.0, 5.1, and 5.2). As the starting year is 494 and not 485, we will not be using the Salisbury Family History (at the beginning of Chapter 3). If...

A while back I read through Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet series and was intrigued by the arsenal the fleet had - hell lances (plasma cannons?), the null field (a disintegrator field), and grapeshot. Yep, grapeshot, you heard right. Now, grapeshot, in the historical sense, was basically large...

OPENING MONTAGE We see the free trader enter another system and separate from the convoy to dock at a highport station. The scene pivots to follow an Empress Marava-class far trader leaving the station to jump outsystem. We follow the far trader through jumpspace and into a frontier system...

Spinward Traders LIC is looking for people willing and able to act as traders and shippers throughout the Marches... Applicants must be capable of dealing effectively with: Scoundrels Rogues Nobles and Worse Traveller: Scoundrels, Rogues, Nobles and Worse (or Traveller: SRNW for short) is a...

So, I'm running a Firefly-esque Traveller game IRL where the PCs are an eclectic bunch of unlikely heroes destined to become Big Damn Heroes/pirates in their own right. However, I can't get enough. So, if I were to run a Traveller play-by-post game here, there are some things I'd like to know...

Alright, I have decided to tackle my Gamer ADHD head-on and actually commit to a project as best as I can and as such, I have decided to go with a concept that could easily hold my attention and passion for quite a while. The concept is called Waifu vs. Zombies and it is a zombie...

A useful list with links to the many PbtA games that is close to comprehensive and does get updated.

So, as some of you already know, I occasionally write fanfiction and I have written RPG fics in the past on other Fanfiction accounts (haven't completed them yet, but I will), but I decided to make a new Fanfiction.Net account for the sole purpose of campaign journals and RPG fanfics with an...

So, I'm wondering if anyone has ever written fanfics or other stories about your favorite RPG's? I don't get to play as much as I used to, but I do get ideas for stories set in various RPG settings, or ideas of potential campaigns that I sometimes convert into stories. I don't usually post them...
