For whomever was talking about running a Cyberpunk game, I suggest looking at the free Quickstart of MoonPunk. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/293755/MoonPunk-QuickStart?src=newest MoonPunk is a Powered by the Apocalypse rpg that has really good instructions for playing an overbearing government or megacorp that they call The Authority. I'm using some of these instructions to define the actions a Call of Cthulhu conspiracy will take against players. For example some of The Authority's hard and soft moves include:
- Introduce chaos - Divide them - Give them a choice and tell them the consequences - Take away one of their things

Found an interesting minimal RPG with a focus on GMing shared by a number of attendants, coupled to a wager and betting system. It is called The Gambler's Court and it is a short Storygame. One player creates a character (the Wanderer, a person who has become lost in the woods) with a number of freeform talents and items. The others play as a group of supernatural Gamblers (fae, spirits, or lesser gods) who take turns narrating challenging scenarios for the Wanderer (Riddles), and bet gold among themselves along the way. If the Wanderer makes it through a number of riddles, they win. If they lose the same number of riddles, they become lost forever, and the Gambler with the most gold wins instead. I thought it was a cool premise. It is free, very thematically illustrated and on itch.io here: https://monchop.itch.io/the-gamblers-court

Found an interesting Patron on the Wicked Ones discord channel. Epic Isometric is the Patreon where you can purchase premade isometric maps with monsters and hero packs. Given everyone is social distancing I figured these would be useful for online play. https://www.patreon.com/epicisometric The Wicked Ones is a Forged in the Dark game modeled off of Dungeon Keeper. You design and draw out your dungeon and attack the Overworld as vile fantasy monsters. I'm 80 pages in and it is very good. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/338480/Wicked-Ones

I recently got roped into "playing" the wargame Star Wars: Armada with some friends on the East Coast. Since I can't be there in the room with the miniatures, I can't actually move the pieces around and fight ship-to-ship combat. So I was given authority to control three pirate fleets, the Mandalorian fleet and a Mining guild fleet in terms of making their strategic moves (ie what planets the fleets try to occupy/raid) to take some pressure off of the GM running the story behind the wargame. My pirate fleets are happily bumbling about the Outer Rim, acting as commerce raiders and targets for the main players of the wargame to blowup and take over their ships. I'm reading Wicked Ones which is a Forged in the Dark game that is basically a Dungeon Keeper tabletop where the players are monsters. I don't have much game time, but I can see myself playtesting the game once (or twice) because the cooperative narrative play and the mechanics are very cool. Maybe this month? We'll see.

I'd love to hear more about that. Delta Green is great. You don't have to make up dumb hooks why a party of wildly diverse backgrounds (in the 1920s usually) will want to get together and solve Mythos mysteries when they really should be running the gently caress away from anything that even hints at the gribblies. In Delta Green you are part of an illegal (or quasi-legal) Conspiracy that is probably embedded in the US government to shut down supernatural phenomena, that if left unchecked will lead to a worse situation. Therefore you can plausibly have a professor of archeology tagging along with a couple of law enforcement officers and a cryptographer out of Quantico because everyone has had experience with the unnatural and has been tapped by the Conspiracy. http://fairfieldproject.wikidot.com/ https://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/category/systems/call-of-cthulhu/delta-green/ Also Caleb Stokes, a goon of Roleplaying Public Radio and Red Markets fame, has been tapped to write some official Delta Green material.

I like procedural generation in gaming supplements because it usually makes it fun for me to whip up something that will have features I do not anticipate. Scenic Dunnsmouth (published by Lamentations of the Flame Princess, but it's system agnostic) takes a dice-and-deck-of-cards approach to building a unique decaying backwater with plots, hooks and treasure. I recently saw that Mothership - Dead Planet had a dice-and-tables method for making the entire floorplan of a derelict spaceship. Included are rules for procedurally generating hidden airduct connections. The rules are quick and easy. In addition if you are looking for tables for nightmares, weird weapons caches, personalities of space cannibals, or a module for a planet like in Dead Space, then Mothership - Dead Planet is for you. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/249108/Mothership-Dead-Planet

No one goes to Mar-Milloir who has a choice, it is a wretched and perfidious region of serpent-haunted mountains, wayward nephilims, and heretical holdouts who refuse the reformation of the Grand Heliopapacy of the Cathedral Tempestuous.

whydirt posted:Maybe a useful exercise would be to recommend authors who similar to Howard and Lovecraft but are less racist or are even minorities themselves? Laird Barron writes like Lovecraft except instead of a universe of Cosmic Horror it is a universe of Carnivorous Horror. Barron has also made the point of writing gay and lesbian main characters and in my view did a very good job in one of these two stories. Mysterium Tremendum is just a gobsmackingly fantastic slow burn. Instead of relying on traditional tropes to generate isolation and fear, Barron presents the isolation and hate caused by some parts of American society on the queer community to ratchet up the tension and generate a situation where the main character, his partner and their buddies are truly alone; cosmically, personally and from a society standpoint. It's chilling and real good. I've read it about four times and each time I get more insight on how deftly he crafted the story. Here is an analysis and review (read the story first please) of Mysterium Tremendum's queer themes: https://www.thepunkwriter.com/article/strange-flesh-the-use-of-lovecraftian-archetypes-in-queer-fiction-mysterium-tremendum So I am a Barron fan (obviously) but the story he wrote about the lesbian protagonist and her partner...well I personally think you can skip it. Not because the story is bad or the main characters are written poorly, but because it telegraphs the story theme too much (maybe that makes it "bad"?). I don't even remember the story's name but you can totally tell (Major Spoilers) its a werewolf story. In my view it doesn't quite deliver as a gothic horror either but maybe I'm being too harsh on it. I will add one criticism of Barron's stories. If it feels like Jack London protagonists have somehow stumbled into a Mythos story you are not wrong. Most of his protagonists (including the above to some extent) are two fisted, hard drinking, wilderness capable human beings. But I like that because it is different than Lovecraft. Your mileage may vary. Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 02:28 on May 22, 2021 |

Leperflesh posted:If on the other hand you're just interested in finding good cosmic horror/swords & sorcery fiction that isn't racist, I feel like that's a very tangential discussion, albeit a worthwhile one. Yeah I have another recommendation. Mike Minnis. The exceptional Lovecraftian writer whom time forgot. Sometime in the late 90s, a German gentleman by the name of Mike Minnis took pen to paper. What flowed was a heady distillate of cosmic horror in the architecture of a fictional craftsman. He published 40-odd short stories hither and yon about the burgeoning internet, mostly at small congregations of weird fiction devotees with names like “thousandyoung.net”, “netherreal.de” and “nightscapes”. However, thanks to the Internet Wayback Machine I was able to recover the full text of ten of his stories. I have copied them to pdf, and for the sake of convenience I have posted them to a file sharing service for download. As a disclaimer, I am not benefiting financially from this in any way. I have simply consolidated the pdfs so that more fans of weird fiction can discover and enjoy this great author’s work. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/t6792v35951vg/Mike_Minnis_Wayback_Machine_Archive If you like his work, just give the man $3 for the kindle edition of Your Poisoned Dreams, a collection of ten Mythos short stories. At that price it is an absurd steal. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Poisoned-Dreams-Horror-Stories-ebook/dp/B00JPBN0DO To start, I highly recommend I Walk the World's Black Rim which is a mix of Beowulf and the Mythos.

It's just easier for me to get into the spirit of the thing if there's a logical reason a huge labyrinth filled with traps and treasure would exist other than 'I dunno, wizards be crazy, yo'. In the case of the former, it's that people built bunkers to survive the magical apocalypse and set booby traps to keep out the monsters (kaers) or tried to protect their city by turning it into the magical Event Horizon by trying to hide it in another dimension and make everyone forget it existed (Parlainth), or the dungeon is literally a huge sentient sandworm that rolls around gobbling up random magical places, and you're exploring his guts trying to get to his brain (Stone Thief).

Been reading two books. The first is the Solo Wargaming system 5 Parsecs from Home about making a sci-fi company of about 4-6 characters who fight enemy teams like pirates, mutants or Bloodstone Mercenaries and expand their arsenal of weapons /gear through many random tables at the end of an encounter. It provides plenty of ideas for story hooks if you are into writing up your experiences. Inspirations for 5 Parsecs include Mass Effect, Cowboy Bebop and the Foundation series. Also the designer is a goon. The second is the wargame Stargrave. That is about ragtag groups of space farers fighting opposing ragtag groups of space farers over artifacts in a universe that is dominated by balkanized pirate fleets rather than governments or corporations spanning multiworld empires. Made by the same guy who made Frostgrave.
