I'm looking forward to seeing the Band of Blades and Blades Against the Darkness hacks for Blades in the Dark for use in Dungeon Crawl games. I think its a much better fit for the genre than ApocWorld from which it descended.

Also its Cyberpunk hack, because why the gently caress isn't there a good lightweight cyberpunk game? Shadowrun is a god drat clunky mess, nevermind Cyberpunk 2020. [edit] And Eclipse Phase isn't my flavor of cyberpunk.

Well, Blades can do "gear porn" to some extent, in that there is a variety of items that players can choose to bring on scores and they have a limited capacity and quality is also a factor. Granted its not detailed in a "Uzi III vs AK-2000" sorta way.

Also, some of that poo poo (especially cybernetics) could just be moves IMO.

It definitely works better for Blades than *World. There are several cyberpunk hacks for *world and they're all bad IMO beacuse they try to emulate previous Cyberpunk RPGs and thus fall into the same trap as Dungeon World.

I should dig my Heroquest book out and give it another read, I can't remember much about it. I should also reread my Sartar Kingdom of Heroes book because Glorantha is :krad:.

There is also the nation of "Dixie" in Crimson Skies. Then again that is hardly a huge crime compared to "The Nation of Hollywood" and "The Empire Stare" and sillier.

A lot of people want things simple as hell when doing role playing games, and Nazi's/Confederates/Soviets are the perfect strawmen for you to punch.

Several westerns managed to have former-Confederate villains without resurrecting the entire confederacy. Its just not needed.

You could also try expanding the die size. A d10 would work just about as well (10% increments instead of 16%) while giving a bit more range between sanity and madness.

So are there any other hacks for Lasers & Feelings besides Scrolls & Swords and Chrome & Punks? I mean, other than this CoC one.

Two-Fisted has to be one at the very least.

Technoir is pretty good!

So after having this mentioned here and in another thread I started looking into the game and while I see some good stuff written about it, I also see that the author apparently completely bailed on his stretch goals for his 24k (2.5k goal) kickstarter. That makes me a bit leery of wanting to give the dude any cash.

Yeah, if you gotta play a D&D game, I recommend 13th Age, personally.

Alternatively, try Microlite20. :v:

The 2014 Indie RPG Awards nominees have been announced. It's a pretty eclectic mix, but there's some cool stuff in there.

Read "The Few" earlier today. Very nice, if a bit too simple.

Also, kids playing d&d :allears:

There are much better RPGs kids could be playing IMO.

Personally, I'd see if the parent(s) were dedicated on D&D or if its just a case of "thats what they know". I'd probably do something like Ryuutama.

You're thinking of some of the best Sci-Fi. Now think about all the rest.

By "Bad" he probably means cheesy, campy, but still thoroughly entertaining. Think Star Trek TOS in terms of Sci-Fi.

It looks like it's just meant to symbolize two different genres, with the sword clearly being the divider between the two. Sorry to be a downer. :smug:

Who cares, Elves with M-16s is cooler.

Yeah, long backgrounds aren't something I like either. Honestly, when I come up with a character, I usually just make them a vague copy of someone from a movie or similar as a foundation and let them develop into their own thing in play. The Rogue Trader I played in a years long campaign started out as a parody of Errol Flynn characters, for example.
