Thirding/fourthing cheat sheets. Constructive criticism available if desired. Also everything will take twice as long as you think it will, plan your time slot and adventure accordingly.DalaranJ posted:Yeah, someone had 5e there this year, and no one playing even knew that.

Also everything will take twice as long as you think it will, plan your time slot and adventure accordingly. Except when it doesn’t and they somehow magically blaze through everything or intuit your mystery on the first guess or whatever. Always have extra content you can fill with (or well some half assed ideas you can riff off of), but also kill your darlings and be willing to drop stuff at a moment’s notice. Fundamentally you’re doing improv so you want to be prepared but flexible. You might wanna check out some version of a *World game that suits your genre/tone. Those basically all fit on one sheet for the basic moves and then the individual playbooks, plus the resolution system is pretty understandable. I’d love to say Blades but that has too much session zero, and The Spire has the opposite problem of too much setting out of the book. Dungeon World or whatever the fixed up version that gnome made probably fits your bill if you want generic fantasy.

Zurui posted:Are ERP modules you know, a thing? Venger Satanis wrote several for the OSR and his own sci-fi game Alpha Blue. James Desborough wrote a tabletop RPG for the Chronicles of Gor novels. While a setting and not an adventure, it's quite clearly intended for ERP. I believe it had an adjoining module, but I do not know its name. As for ERP modules not written by chuds, I cannot think of any off the top of my head. Pathfinder and 5e's OGLs clamp down heavily on that kind of content, which is why for D&D derived variants the OSR claims most of this territory. There was a 3rd Edition 1 on 1 module called the Pleasure Prison of the Bthuvian Demon Whore, which itself was a parody rather than something to add to your spank bank. It's actually a joke from the Fear of Girls youtube parody. As for non-D&D RPGs besides CthulhuTech, I cannot attest. I should note that sexy tabletop tends to go more for sourcebooks than adventures, a la Book of Erotic Fantasy. Adventures tend to be railroady and constraining if done for ERP. This is due to the fact that lots of different people have different kinks and turn-ons, so unless said adventure is intended for a specific fetish or sub-community it has limited appeal.

There was that one really specific fetish trpg that someone F&Fed where being obscenely fat gave you superpowers. As in, you got a really fat rear end? Congratulations, you can turn invisible. Why? Shut up, that's why.

This probably doesn't count as ERP, since I don't think anyone intended for the thing to be played as erotica, but Dungeon published a BoVD tie-in module about an evil brothel in ShittyEvilburgh. The Porphyry House Horror, I think? All I remember about it is that, to nobody's surprise, it really sucked.

Splicer posted:Are we talking a rich untapped vein to induct into actually good games without having to work through the taint of D&D, or are we talking a bunch of 3.x probable lost causes, or are we talking the left leaning swing voter option that is 4e? I went on the less populous night, and the people who went to play D&D were the guy the DM brought along, two adults who had never played before, and two ten year olds I had just finished playing 5 minute dungeon with. I heard one other person say "Oh, D&D, I haven't played that in ten years!" The rest of the people there completely ignored the table.

I'm very confident in my ability to GM games from a book or from scratch or completely improvised but I can't even get my head around what running an erotic game would even look like. These are purely theoretical and written by someone who had their genitals in one hand and weren't meant to be actually played, right? The level of shamelessness that the GM and players would have to have is really what gets me. There's this whole list of things I don't bring up in my games because I'd die of embarrassment and essentially everything an erotic game needs is on that list

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that functional erotic RPGs would either be written for two players total or require an already pretty intimate group if you know what I mean. But I suspect most 'erotic RPGs' are written to be read alone, in actual practice.

To expand on this one year at Gencon I went to a few Beginners Welcome! No knowledge of system required! Games across a few different WoD settings. And since each one has its own gimmick I needed a crash course when it came to how to play and the GM kept rolling his eyes like how dare I not know these things. Thankfully the actual players at the tables were nice and would pause to explain things from mechanical and lore sides of things. If you play something that has one of those "succeed at cost" systems rape is never a justifiable cost. That was the last con game I ever played in because are you loving kidding me?

I figure that most actual ERP comes out of kink adjacent groups. Since, you know, those are the folks that are into sexual openness and role play.

Always assume there will be around a hour of people kinda dicking around, cross-talking or showing up late during your con game and plan and plot accordingly.

Hostile V posted:Yeah that's fair. I just mean in general if you're given X hours for your slot, plan for the worst case scenario where it has to be X-1 hours so there's leeway for stuff like people being late, having rules questions, people getting stuck on puzzles, etc. Yeah, make your adventure modular so that you can do some montages and skip to the finale if time runs short. It's more frustrating to not end than it is to skip bits.

Played a con game once where we stayed on target right up until we hit the room just before the final bad guy, spent 30 minutes dicking around in that room, then finally opened the door and oneshot the boss.

It's like they've never even heard about storygames. Just roll +Splurt and on a 7-9
