Man I had no idea this game was so great. I was pitched this game as 'oh this is kinda like old D&D but updated' and my reaction was 'so either it's a retroclone in which case no thanks, or I could just play D&D 4th edition'. I picked it up on a whim on Drivethru and I know my group is gonna just love this, this is the most storyful of storygames I've seen in a while and that rules.

That looks right up my group's alley, gnome. I'll pass the link on to them, I know a couple will be as into this concept as me and back.

Yea in my group it's always been the second example. It's a great way to make worldbuilding a group experience, players can obviously enjoy a premade world just fine but when you let them toss in their own flavor it helps everyone feel involved in the story. You say your thing, then roll, then the GM either says 'yep that's right' or 'well you're half right' or whatever.

I don't know if Grim World is for sale to non-backers or not but it's an absolute must buy, even if you don't dig the whole dark and gritty aspect of it just the base mechanics listed in it are really good.

Yea the best tips for new GMs here I can think of is to remember 7-9 rolls aren't 'you succeed not as cool' but more 'you succeed BUT...'. That's what, in my experience, usually keeps the story flowing in a smooth way. At the same time, though, you shouldn't be trying to gently caress them,t he complications should be interesting, not just complicating. Sure for things like hack and slash sometimes you can't do much more than 'you hit but leave yourself open' but be sure to add in things that add interesting options for characters to deal with to keep things fresh.

Just got Mounted Combat, it's great, it has basically any mount you'd need done pretty well, everything gets a unique move or two to make it feel different. A boar rider is different than a sandworm rider and everything seems, on paper, balanced well. Also I've said it before but get Inverse World, it's a delight.

Reason posted:How is pirate world coming along? I was really looking forward to it, but it doesn't seem like there has been an update on the website in a while, but I might be looking in the wrong place. Just got a backer update yesterday or the day before where he basically said he's been swamped with things and understands he's very behind but still plans on getting books out.

The Supreme Court posted:Yeah! I didn't get the project finished before my Uni exams, which was a total pain. My exams are done and I've deliberately not picked anything else up, so I'm basically working full-time on Pirate World now. Hope to have it finished soon. I'm glad to hear you're back working on it, and I'm also glad you weren't insane/stupid enough to prioritize 'pirate RPG' over 'university exams', so just in general well done.

Both mages are great but I gotta say Winter Mage is pretty awesome.

Any good playbooks for playing a pixie/fairy/some other tiny magical nature creature? My dude in the campaign I'm running just bit it and we're deep in fae country, figure it could be fun to dust off an old favorite concept of 'tiny barbarian' from my Hackmaster days. My other option is to just use the barbarian book of course but I wanna be all sparkles and fairy dust while I chop limbs off.
