I still don't know what Dogbert is talking about with gangsters and Fate, but I've played Accelerated and MotW. MotW is one of the least bullshit PbtA hacks, has a good one shot session generator (although that might be Demon Hunters: Comedy of Terrors). I liked the narrative bullshit point meter se...

I've been very sparsely creating something or other for years now. I don't have a lot of free time or rest so I tend to work on it only during vacations during the year. That being said part of the elevator pitch includes the fact that I intend on making use of downtime similarly to how it's done i...

Ok, admittedly this is a big broad question, and I don't expect a definitive answer, but still... A common complaint for many games is that the fluff doesn't match the rules. Is it generally wiser to try to come up with an evocative setting, and try to make rules that work for it, or to come up wit...

What do you want, a setting where every mud farmer knows Teleport and Fabricate? You know, that would at least be ORIGINAL. The current status quo of every other fantasy game being where creating a tower out of stone is a once-in-a-generation power reserved for the best of the mages? SEEN IT. Be th...

Fuck, you're stupid. Institutionalized American racism, of which our White Nationalist movements come from, was designed to keep broke white people from realizing they had it just as bad as broke, emancipated black people. White people were indentured servants right along black chattel slaves, and t...

If we're talking about 3.5 splats, they made the 3.5 paladin and ranger a lot more playable with plenty of cool unique spells (and the bard gets plenty of cool prcs besides unique spells), also 3.5 ranger ACF for wildshape and plenty of other nice goodies, while the 3.0 paladin and ranger spellcast...

I'm still sad movie Thanos wasn't literally courting Death, like comics Thanos. But my understanding of the time fuckery was setting up alternate universes for a Crisis on Infinite Earths-style event down the line. You have the Stones as quantum locks. The snap and destruction of the Stones locked U...

Super-ultimate thread necromancy ho! Your current write-up has carnivore asuras and vegetarian elves. This seems backwards. The Sidhe and the Vanir were famous hunters, illusion magic is great for hunting, and you've already specified that elves are psychologically adapted for solitude and self-rel...

Someone once told me of a milk bar in New York that uses human breast milk, but I'm not sure how real that is.

In other news, the orgy of wrestling that was Mania weekend is finally over. GCW affiliated shows (except maybe Joey Ryan's) and DDT put on insane events, the NJPW parts of the G1 Supercard rocked the house in, NXT was NXT and Mania sent the fans home happy-ish. Now they may have fucked the finish t...

Since the MC never rolls any dice, they can only make a move when the player has met the conditions. If this were strictly true, that'd probably help improve player agency by forcing the MC to be purely reactive. Unfortunately, in AW it's not. The rules are as follows: However, when a player’s char...

*I disagree with the notion that Inquisitors are a clear case of Rogue/Cleric hybrid. I agree that they match the spirit of one rogue concept, that being violent social engineering, but that’s not an explicitly core competence of the d20 Rogue class, it’s just something they can do. My deliberately...
