I'm interested in creating a Traveller thread; I'm an old grognard who played it starting in the LBB days of the 1980s and the MegaTraveller era, dropping out when Traveller: The New Era arrived--thus, my focus with the OP would be more about old-school Traveller and its influence as an early SFRPG with an absurdly rich game-world (that the developers decided to entirely blow up for no good reason, not that I'm still bitter about it or anything.) As a game it has lots of wacky idiosyncracies that are fun to talk about (dying during character creation, gameplay requiring a scientific calculator, furry appeal for fans of intelligent cats/dogs/starfish/homicidal vegetarians, Imperial space marines before they became SPESS MEHREENS) and as a game that's been around for 40 years, with lots of adherents and variants. Other than a couple "WTF, Traveller?" articles on the main page and occasional passing references to the game in a few posts, I'd never seen a Traveller megathread here so figured it might be time to create one. Time to  ?

Crossposting this from Tradgame Chat: How do people here feel about doing some kind of a TTRPG equivalent of the Creative Convention's Thunderdome? An Adventuredome, if you will? For those unfamiliar with TD and hates clicking links, it's a weekly flash fiction contest where a Judge or Judges (usually the last week's winner and one or two thread regulars) issue some kind of a prompt ('limericks about capitalism!', 'superheroes with rock band inspired superpowers!', 'stories that actually have some kind of rudimentary characterization!' and other wacky stuff like that), specify any restrictions like story length, give out personal sub-prompts for anyone who asks for one, and at the end of the week after the deadline, a winner is chosen from the stories that actually got written and posted, the Judges give the entries some crits and the winner becomes this week's Judge and picks a new prompt. A couple of weeks ago TD did a week where you had to create a short D&D-ish dungeon/adventure/hex, inviting people from this forum over to the thread, and it seems to have been quite popular, which led me to think that people here might enjoy this sort of thing on a regular basis. What are your thoughts on this? I personally think it would be fun, at least for a few rounds. If I were to set this whole thing up by myself, I'd probably make it a triweekly thing, to give everyone a bit more time to make it good - one week to brainstorm, one week to write it up, one week to playtest it (and then frantically rewrite it from scratch while sobbing from terror). As for what a good entry would look like, I was thinking aiming at something One Page Dungeon or Trilemma Adventures-sized for D&D-ish content (but, obviously, not as polished) or for something like the short adventures in Fear's Sharp Little Needles for CoC for more investigative or social scenarios - 2k-3k words and a simple map of some kind, if necessary. The judge would specify what system/genre they want the entries to be for that given week.

Since it got brought up in the chat thread, I'm curious. How many goons actually play the Digimon TCG? I've been considering making a thread for it, but I only want to put in that effort if there are people who'd post in it.

Haha well most TGers don't look at the thread index much, they stick to their bookmarked threads. It's not a bad idea to mention and link to your new stuff from one or two related threads. e. Oh, I see you did link it from the pathfinder thread. Well! We'll see, there's no guarantee of interest but it's still cool of you to post it.

A thread like that for comparing/contrasting VTTs (especially when someone wants to run a specific system in one, but doesn't know which one suits their needs) would be pretty useful imo.

Nope! It's a game from 2003, there might have been a thread for it that is now in archives, but I don't see any active thread. You could try posting one, or just ask questions in the chat thread where undoubtedly someone who knows the system could answer.

Savage World Adventure Edition, the latest version, only came out in 2018, and there's a Pathfinder version that is coming out now. It's not that outdated.

RECENT NEW THREADS, which everyone should go look at! Vintage and Collectible Games, inspired by the recently closed collecting subforum, which also has given us Collecting Trading Cards!, a thread specifically about the trading card collecting thing, presumably including both stuff like sports cards, and cards that are also games The One Ring - Drop Into Mount Doom With Bong In Hand was actually made back in February, but that's still pretty new. There's been a kickstarter, to reboot this classic RPG, not to be confused with the boardgame of the same name... Do you want to Roleplay in the Devastation of World War 3? If so, check out Twilight 2000: Good luck. You're on your own. This classic RPG is now entering its fourth major edition. Flesh and Blood and other TCG Finance - Scam for $1000, then Go Again is a thread specifically about the Flesh and Blood card game, and also more generally about scammy collectible card games and the weird finance guru slash game nerds who promote them on social media. Back in June, we got a fresh Traveller thread: Dying during Character Creation: The Traveller Thread. This is for discussion of any edition of that game. Infinitum wants to see your board game collection. Show it off in Board Games - Literally just 50 different copies of Monopoly on a shelf, or just gape at other people's huge investments in boxes of plastic and cardboard. Grey Hunter made this thread about some kinda homebrew game some folks were working on I guess? Campaign - 18th Century board game development. Maybe you can help! DrSunshine wants you to summarize your setting, in one sentence, here: Summarize your setting in one sentence Libertad! is doing some kind of game rules conversion project here: Converting Settings to Spheres of Power & Might Do you use Spheres of Power & Might? Would you like to? Maybe check it out then. Frozen Peach made a game called Heckin' Hounds: Heckin Hounds - Hades' dog walkers compete to be the most mediocre. The kickstarter was successful and seems to be moving towards manufacture soon. What's so cool about Itch.io? IMO it's cool because it has loads of indie games, and takes less money from their makers when you buy them there. We also have a new map thread, maybe y'all missed it: Siivola posted:I come bearing a map thread. I may have missed one or two but this is most of the new threads, go check em all out.

Iron Heart posted:Which thread is the thread to post in about DIY projects? Interested in throwing together a wooden dice tower and other such things. Hmm. Probably the chat thread. We have a game-creator's thread, but not one specifically for game-adjacent projects. You could also make a new thread! A thread in HCH would also work, and you could post a link to it here & in the chat thread.

Where can I post that I'm looking to join a game/what systems I'm looking to play? This is kind of a big gap, isn't it? I think we should have a place where people can present themselves as available for online play, including PbP and also discord/VT/etc. It'd need to actually have participants, of course, but anyone think it's a terrible idea?

It's not a 'terrible' idea, but I am on a few Discords that have channels for players to post their LFG and there's basically no point. The ratio of people who want to play to GMs is like 50 to 1, at the least, and no one cares about the players' channel. It's entirely a GMs market.
