There's Tana Pigeon of Word Mill Games who wrote the Mythic Gamesmaster Emulator and other solo tools. (I think the books are still listed with her old name on the cover)

KingKalamari posted:I mean, it's unfortunately a harsh truth that sometimes a creator can have really revolutionary or influential ideas in one field while being just a huge, terrible dingus in others. I think that a lot of the concepts introduced or popularized in Crane's work have influenced RPG design for the better...But that doesn't change the fact that he's a stupid poo poo head I don't want to give my money to. It depends what you like about Torchbearer, I think. The aesthetic? The resource management gameplay loop? I haven't played Torchbearer but I have played Mouse Guard and took a long look at Torchbearer 1e. If you like resource based exploring and a fantasy skin, the translated Japanese game Ryuutama offers that. It is not as easy as you might think based on the art. It's also very focused on journeys and gathering stuff, not so much on combat. You can find the website here: http://kotohi.com/ryuutama/ If you are also into scarcity and resource management, and the idea of adventurers who are only doing this until they can get enough cash to retire, there's Red Markets. The default setting is post-apocalyptic zombies; I realize that many people are tired of that setting. But the core game play is very solid and could be easily adapted to other settings. I'm planning to use it for a sci-fi survival game in the near future, for instance. Website here: http://redmarketsrpg.com/ If you're just interested in looking at the rules, I think there's a quick start on Drivethrurpg.

Red Markets does also take a rather different tack with "zombie apocalypse" from standard. (Have an F&F running, setting section is already covered.) It would handle porting to anything the carrion economy could cover, so a lot of apocalypse and mercenary type material. Just keep the very high lethality in mind.

If what you like about Torchbearer is the rules for logistics and/or skills and/or combat, but with less convoluted mechanics than their AD&D/D&D Basic equivalent, there are different games that do that. But I can't recommend any specific game if you're looking for Torchbearer with the serial numbers filed off. I recommend asking in the Old-School thread.

Rose Bailey who did some of the best work ever with Vampire is somebody you should absolutely support. Her work in Requiem is of course excellent but she's done a lot of other games, too. I personally recommend Miserable Secrets and Bite Me: How to Write Vampire. Her company page on DTRPG is here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?keywords=rose+bailey&x=0&y=0&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=

The elevator pitch is: "If Mars has canals, Mars must also have Venice." (Disclaimer: I wrote a smallish chunk of the book as well, but it's good in spite of that. And the stellar concept, mood, and game mechanics are all Rose.)

It manages to be both high adventure and somber because the planet's kind of dying.

I figured someone would have already done it first, since I got off of work so late. Fellowship is one of my favorite RPGs. The RPG scene is very lucky to have so many amazing trans creators.

I mean, if there are actually other instances of him doing it in his sold work people would've found it by now. The internet loves a plagiarism treasure hunt and most of these "oops I stole one thing" turns into "oh actually they stole everything" within a week. This hasn't, yet. so, for now I buy the apology and he seems to be doing the right thing.

Another trans creator I almost missed: Mikan from Funhaver Industries https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/4547/Fnhaver-Industries?term=funhaver Unfortunately, she got harassed out of the industry and doesn't make new stuff, but I assume she still gets paid for Funhaver stuff if you want to support her. I don't see a place to buy Last Stand, which is too bad because it's a great game.
