Officer Tyre is sent to the group by Mr E., over time his complicated relationship with his employer became clear. Due to his similarity to a tractor tyre, he struggled to bond with their daughter Kuberta who is now missing.
I think I'm gotten the hang of BRAVELY DEFAULT II's combat engine now! I can tell that I'm going to have fun with the Brave/Default mechanic once the game takes off the kid gloves and challenges me for real!
Because it's the first "Universal Game Engine" released under the free #ORC license, the new #BasicRoleplaying is poised to become the #Linux / open source software of the #TTRPG world. You can do almost whatever you like with the text of the book, including copy it, subject to the license.
I love #GURPS too, but it's not free & open the way #BRP is - yet.
I've been looking for a general GM screen for years and haven't found one that I'm satisfied with. But this one looks very promising. #GMScreen#GM#RPG#Kickstarter
Look, I still HATE clumsy writing of the "Character has a hard time limit In Story, but also just after we find out about that time we get all the side quests!"
The dumbest example is STILL #Cyberpunk2077 where you literally do not have access to the open world and 90% of the gameplay until AFTER you find out you will "absolutely certainly die in two weeks".
I guess I have to blame the idiotic writing on the #Crunch the management forced everyone thru? #Cyberpunk#RPG
A person in a #rpg subreddit is suggesting that as a GM, if you have trouble improvising you can have your NPCs act weird/shifty and then offload the improv work by working it out, before the next session and explain it later.
... they have not played with most groups, clearly.
'X is acting nervous, shifty and weird'
'Yeah, ok, we'll just drag them into this alley and shank them, then.'
Another new Mythosesque RPG crawls into the light, using Ken St. Andre's Monsters! Monsters! rules: "Shub-Niggurath Always Rings Twice."
I know nothing about this one. It's the same publisher as the reprint of The Lovecraft Variant (which received some criticism for layout and presentation) but looks to be a completely original adventure with quickstart rules included.
Good Morning Friends! This morning I talk about #HonkaiStarRail a game I have been playing a bit on the side lately. My hope is to play this casually so that I don't notice the paywalls too terribly much.
Because the entire coding staff is me, and the designers are me, and the executive staff is me, and the cost of developing the game is in the whole dozens of dollars, not counting an eternity of time (thanks #UE5), the semi-overly-large #RPG I'm developing will be a good value to buy. Who needs more than a few bucks for a video game? Besides #WoW, which also requires a monthly subscription and your firstborn as an offering, I mean.
So. Here’s the thing: I loved D&D as a youth, although it’s been decades since I last played (but I still have the dice!). As a digital alternative, the only thing I’ve found that gives me the same joy are two games from Spiderweb Software: Avernum (6 separate games in the same world) and Avadon (3 games in the same world). Both give many, many (many!) hours of adventuring fun, and can be returned to and played again and again.
@kyonshi Nearly: B10 Night's Dark Terror (1986) has a riverboat ride between towns and the main adventure area, with encounters.
Judges Guild Sea-Steeds & Wave-Riders (1978) has stats & procedures for riverboats, but no adventure. Verbosh (1979) & Tarantis (1983) have river-side adventures, but don't say how you get there; the river pirate base in Tarantis might be hard to assault by river! #rpg#ttrpg#osr#riverboat
