In my upcoming Treasure Planet but with bounty hunters Strike game, one player's putting a ton of thought into her character and her character fits the role, so I asked if she wanted to be the ship's captain for the players' ship. She's totally into that, and immediately asked, "Can it be a ship I stole?" Thanks, player, for dropping an absolutely golden plot hook in my lap

Hey, can I get some recommendations on RPGs for a friend? Their main experience is with D&D/D20 but they've also played a little Dungeon World and Shadowrun, with some freestyle dragoning thrown into the mix. I'm mainly looking for good dungeon crawlers, but wouldn't mind suggesting a few rules-light or narrative games of other genres either.

Shadow of the Demon Lord is a good dark fantasy game that you could do some tomb running in. There's also a really good bundle deal on the game right now.

Spellbound Kingdoms is a good underappreciated gem. Imagine someone jammed the good bits of The Princess Bride, Errol Flynn's Robin Hood, and Stardust into a blender, made a setting out of it, then made an impressively unique system to suit it. That's Spellbound Kingdoms.

For dungeon crawlers I would suggest Dungeon Crawl Classics and Torchbearer.

The system seems like pushing uphill with weights on. I know hard-mode is the point of Torchbearer, but the mechanics do not feel streamlined.

That's Spellbound Kingdoms.  The game's also highly stealable-from - the equipment lists are amazing and would drop perfectly into your average D&D game to give you something to spend money on after the early game - D&D's awful at that. The mass combat and organisation rules are also pretty usable elsewhere. Highly recommend the purchase even if you're not going to run it.

It's a bit awkwardly organized sometimes but it is worth browsing. The only thing is that I wish it provided a bit more guidance on how to make level-appropriate challenges or build monsters and fighting/spell schools from scratch. Maybe we'll get more on that whenever the kickstarter for the new supplement goes live?

I find it scratches the same itch as Shadowrun, where you're a pack of wandering problem-solvers who have to deal with assignments that are always more complicated than you bargained for. Unlike SR, it's not instant death rocket tag nor do characters become so hyperspecialized that anyone who isn't in their specialty can't even participate.

I am extremely excited to start running Strike. We can't start until next weekend due to scheduling issues but goddamn I want to start ASAP. I love designing fun and unique encounters but tend to burn out on miniature combat games because combat can drag out for so long, even in 13th Age (all the escalation dice in the world can't save you from a bunch of lovely damage rolls). If Strike makes combat flow as well as it looks like it does I'm going to have a great drat time with it. The only thing is going to be keeping my players focused and making sure they actually know what their abilities do before their turn comes up so everybody's turn doesn't take five minutes as they re-assess the board and re-read their powers every drat time

My Lovely Horse posted:Yesterday one of my players gave us that coveted moment of excitement you get when you experience something you've only ever heard of by rolling three critical hits in a row. Then turn order moved on to the next player, who made an attack and also rolled a critical hit. One time in a Vampire game, an Akhud blood sorceror used magic to set off a demonic fiery gently caress-you in front of the whole party. We all had to roll frenzy checks at some godawful penalty and if we failed we'd take a derangement among some other awful poo poo. Every single one of us was on a chance die. Every single one of us rolled a ten. There were four of us so it was literally one in ten thousand. That was the absolute best time to accidentally step in a faerie glade and for the normal laws of probability to go out the window.

I'd love to hear some opinions on it before I pick it up. It's a good FATE iteration. But it absolutely requires the right player group, and honestly way more GM-work than a lot of other settings. It's hard to do discovery and puzzles without a solid long term gameplan
