Quote (from me) from the Nice Marines game I'm playing in, ""I'm eager to get into combat, but I'm also eager to get this parade that I've planned started. So I'm going to grab it, and just shove it down the cliff face to start the parade." This game is fantastic

'It'' was the lead float, people and all, that was supposed to taked the planned parade route down the cliff face, across the financial district (which we buried under half a mountain), towards the centre of the city where heretics had infiltrated the Astral Hyperchurch and started an uprising.

I just played Mausritter with my son and I gotta say, if you're looking for a game to introduce your kids to RPGs this is the one. It's cute without being patronizing, challenging and gritty without being dark or gloomy, delightfully magic-infused without being over-the-top, and OSR-inspired without being married to the sacred cows of D&D. I'm considering running a hexcrawl of it for my adult group just because it scratches that Torchbearer itch without being, you know, Torchbearer. Oh, and it's PWYW on itch.

Itch bundle just updated with hundreds more titles, ttrpg related first thing I noticed was Hex Kit and a bunch of add-one for it like HPS Cartography. The Ground Itself looks like a neat story game, very much like A Quiet Year.

 I just published "Banned From Argo, an rpg" on itch! It's a Honey Heist hack (with some original rules) about Space-Fleet's finest taking some shore leave and generally raising hell, inspired by the (in)famous filk song of the same name. You create a crew member complete with a shirt colour (yellowshirts go boldly, blueshirts spout technobabble and protocol, redshirts... do what redshirts do), and you have two stats: A Little Fun and Too Much Fun. Oh, and a criminal record. https://twitter.com/SpeaktheSky/status/1270497166814052354

Interesting stuff in the I liked itch.io bundle besides a bunch of indie that hasn't been mentioned here "Here's my take on ..." stuff like someone who has a persona inspired rules lite, a spooky horror game you play with a tarot deck, a play by mail game where everyone makes up a prophecy and how it comes true/what twists it has 2 adventures for troika (including a not-starjammer game) a system agnostic but recommended for dungeon world or 13th age adventure a system agnostic book on how to make fantasy races (and it specifically avoids the name races instead opting for 'folk') compelling without being racist, including a bunch of sample "here's some ideas for elves.." "heres some ideas for fish people" and so on. pbta magical girls/transformation based RPG there were also some hex creation tools, and at least one set of playbooks for monster hearts.

Which one's the Mahou Shojou one? Wonder how hackable it is for Tokusatsu... I know the Persona Rules-Lite is Stand Up!, an interesting counterpart to the in-development Legacy hack Voidheart Symphony. EDIT: Looks like it's "Glitter Hearts".

DoctorWhat posted:Which one's the Mahou Shojou one? Wonder how hackable it is for Tokusatsu... If you have or are willing to buy Savage Worlds, there's a module in there for Tokusatsu specifically, it's called "Savage Tokusatsu." There's an extra adventure in there too, "Savage Tokusatsu: Shimmer Guardians Adventures!" Anyway, the specific magical girl game I found in there is Glitter Hearts, which does have alternate rules for Super Sentai (nothing for Ultraman or Kamen Rider though, if that's what you're more interested in.)

paradoxGentleman posted:I am extremely interested in these ones. What are their names? The spooky game is Black Mass, it requires a GM, and is about two girls wandering the Woods of Salem it has 3 scenarios based on time of year and general theme (like October is spooky witches, February is winter desolation) The system agnostic lore book is "One Page Lore Fantasy Folk" and as the name implies it tries to give a bunch of interesting new races and fantasy staples some interesting hooks and quirks. I've skimmed it and there were some interesting ideas for dwarves at least and fungus people. As a quick heads up, it also seems to be less a guide or tips and how do to the same and more the stuff the writers came up with for their games. DoctorWhat posted:Which one's the Mahou Shojou one? Wonder how hackable it is for Tokusatsu... Other fun things I saw, but actually named this time instead of vaguely referenced ANTological theory: GMless game in which 3-5 ant philosophers engage in debate. Aurora Mixam: The Oracle game I mentioned, designed for play by mail The Atomic Robo RPG Impulse Drive: A Space Jerks PbtA hack 6 bites for 6 princes: The dungeon world/13th age suggested system agnostic adventure I mentioned earlier Chronicles of the Spacejammer: The Spelljammer Troika hack So you've been thrown down a well: A Troika adventure that starts with the party being thrown down a well

DoctorWhat posted:Which one's the Mahou Shojou one? Wonder how hackable it is for Tokusatsu... Not related to this bundle, but if you want a toku game, have you looked at Henshin? It's a Belonging Outside Belonging game (though annoyingly it doesn't explicitly acknowledge this) with each playbook representing a super sentai colour.

Cross-post from the production/publishing thread: I just put out my first ever game! LAST SHOOTING  Cover by Simon Sweetman Last Shooting is a 2-player game about mech pilots in a series of duels within a war. It uses the auction-based resolution mechanic from Final Bid, but in a new scene structure, and the way your list of biddable resources works is completely different. It is intended for single-session play, but with plenty of flexibility so no two sessions will be the same. Define your pilot, and destroy them in turn. The battle hinges on what remains. PDF on Itch PDF and PoD on DTRPG This started as an idea I had at work one day last fall, and I've really enjoyed bringing it to this completed, professional-looking state. I'll probably make some more small projects every once in a while, but it feels good to have this first game done and hold it in my hands.

As someone who playtested Last Shooting, even if you don’t particularly like giant robots you should play Last Shooting. It does a remarkable job of building unique and intimate stories from some random rolls and your own desire to win.

DoctorWhat posted:Which one's the Mahou Shojou one? Wonder how hackable it is for Tokusatsu... Check the back of the book. Glitter Hearts has rules for "Vehicle Based" heroes which is clearly Power Rangers. That said, I think I prefer Henshin. I don't know. I am intrigue by this recent trend of "playbook-agnostic" powered by the apocalpyse games. Or games which clearly use PBtA but don't use playbooks, instead reverting to more traditional methods of character generation. However, I can't help feel like they miss the point of playbooks, to reinforce genre conventions and facilitate emulation. I don't know. Maybe I am just a fuddy-duddy on this issue since hacking PbtA was my first big "hack" thing.

CitizenKeen posted:Can anybody tell me anything about Skull Diggers from Jacob Randolph/Gnome? It's a game made up of three sub games: A town worker placement game where you try and make the town nicer to give you better gear, more classes, and better worker placement spaces by spending money from dungeons and trying to get the good spots before the other people in town take them. The GM plays other factions who don't have your best interest at heart. The exploration game uses a deck of playing cards where you go out and try to scout out the dungeon in the wilderness and then explore its depths. You flip cards off the top of the deck (with different characters having different ways they can react to the cards) to build your path and you can spend cards from your hand to alter them. Depending on what card you have, you either get in a fight, find an obstacle, find a dead end, or find safety. In the dungeon you can also find treasure you can sell in town for cash for the village game. The combat game is dice poker. The enemies go first, letting the players react to them. There are various positioning moves and class abilities that modify it, but the combat roll is three dice where you try and make a pair, a triple, or a straight, with better "hands" doing damage. I'll admit this is the one I understand the least, as I haven't gotten to sit down and read the books all the way through as if I was going to play it. One last thing is that the game is split completely into two books, and the Marrow Master's book has an enjoyably sinister voice that explains, "You are playing the villain, and you are out to kill the characters." Since the game is very deterministic, you don't have to pull your punches, as you're not planning dungeons or monster encounters. You just know "I've picked this set of baddies for the dungeon and the cards will fall where they may." I like the theme of the village being completely unconcerned with you, the people who go out and do the work that keeps the village running, and they will happily choke the life out of you to make a few more coin. It's definitely got some bite, and it's made me want to go dig into it more. Downside is that it seems like it'd be a pain to run online, and... well... I haven't gamed in person in a while for obvious reasons.
