that's probably why I've never gotten on board the harry potter train, from day one I'm like "why aren't all these adults in jail by now"

Do they have junk food? Of course they do, everyone does. But I defy you to point to a better tasting junk food than a piping hot battered fried fish sided with fat fluffy crispy chips, drizzled with malt vinegar and lightly dusted with salt, served in a wad of (uninked, please) newspaper and wolfed down steaming in the cool night air along with your fifth pint of beer.

So now between sessions my washed up war reporter Media is interviewing it to figure out what the hell it's been doing the last 20 years, and whether letting a shipboard AI that led a worker's revolution and executed the officers on board get transferred on land to take over a factory or something is wise.

What could possibly go wrong?

One of my favorite extremely rpg.net moments was some guy thinking about using DitV for running a game where everyone is a Gestapo officer.

Albedo's RPG is entirely about each player playing a squad leader, the entire combat system revolves around it.

for what it's worth what I'd be looking for here is "superpowers" worth a drat

like, if it's Superheroes By Way of D&D Fifth Edition I would expect that you're not making an attack roll for d8+4 damage against a single target anymore. Wow me with something!

LCGs are, in theory, less of a consistent money sink than traditional TCGs, although I've found that once they go on for a bit they have higher buy-in costs. I don't know too many board games, tbh, but there's a lot of deckbuilders out there. Does she consider those too simple?

Yeah, we talked about that in the AP thread. Turns out Dark Dice is run by Travis Vengroff who, quoting Wikipedia, manages low-income housing and sits on the board of one of the world's largest debt collection agencies. So.

Honestly Google's dice roller in the browser search does just fine for simple rolling if you only need it locally. Though that's not a widget, it may be a solution that happens to take no local storage or anything else.

Does anyone have any experience with these "solo RPG" supplements? This one company made a bunch of "Solo but for X" PDFs for all manner of RPGs. I haven't bought any b/c I'm not sure how many of them are truly good adaptions to their specific systems beyond just reprinting the same general advice and Oracle sub-system.

I honestly think that the Basic D&D modules are a much better source of old school adventures than the famous AD&D modules.

I haven't checked out the latest 5E supplments, but I assume the specifically mentioned rule is a house rule. So the one house rule we have evidence for seems to support your conclusion.

Weren't there a lot of AoS rules at first that were really silly and unworkable? I faintly recall hearing something about that.

Had that thought while reading the Locked Tomb books, actually - it's impressive how you could go in blind and date them down to the year just off of the internet references in them. Especially the second book (I honestly never expected a "none pizza, left beef" reference to not only make it into a published book but actually flow in dialogue but here we are). Doing it with RPGs sounds fun too.

Take this post from the Historical Facts thread about Early 20th Century Manchuria, which can be summed up as "The Wild West, only the bandits have full-on armies with real rear end guns"

If anything, this just reinforces that I will absolutely trust his word. If he says "this is the next big game, get hype", I'll be fuckin there, cash in hand, ready to roll. He was painfully honest, and after that it's on the proud owners of T҉h҉o҉u҉s҉a҉n҉d҉ Y҉e҉a҉r҉ O҉l҉d҉ V҉a҉m҉p҉i҉r҉e҉ to come to terms with the fact they didn't listen to him.

he also claimed it was not a journal etc

quote:

It's not a writing journal, character sheet packet, or adjunct for TYOV play.

which is semantic at best

the pictures I've seen make it utterly loving useless as a journal or character sheet as well.
