clockworkjoe posted:It's called Wield. It doesn't really do what it promises though. The whole game is supposed to be about how magic items and their mortal wielders vie for dominance but there aren't mechanics to cover those conflicts. There's also no character sheet PDF out there as a free download. You could handle that idea with a game like Monsters and Other Childish Things better. Or play "Swords without Master."

Galaga Galaxian posted:I can't wait for WWWRPG: International Incident to come out so I can try to rope some of my pals at the FLGS into a one-shot. I even bought a microphone at a thrift shop. Nathan Pauleta said in a recent update things were ahead of schedule and it should be out this summer. IIRC he delivered WWWRPG early too, so I'm hoping he's right. The rules were ready before he started the KS (and available with a $10 donation). For the final version, Nate believes in great looking products.

Hi, I'm making a fallout rpg. The first thing is to keep Luck as a stat, because tabletop games are exactly like computers and --

Lemon-Lime posted:A luck stat is perfectly fine if it's actually used in the game and the rules are open about exactly when and how often you'd be able to roll it. A "stat" that represents luck seems pointless compared to: -A pile of luck points or tokens -A trait that lets you be lucky in X circumstances. What does "average" luck mean? What does a 5/9 luck get you that 4/9 get you (unless you have a crit table?) What does luck represent that randomized dice rolling doesn't?

Played "Fighting Arts" or some huge, huge box dungeon crawler. It was okay but everything took too many options; it felt as if they combined the annoying movement rules of 3rd edition and the punitive parts of a CYOA. We had an hour and a half fight with a giant screaming stag w/ hands hanging out of its abdomen, and I hit the thing maybe twice -- every time I'd get close, it'd rush to the other side of the battlefield, where the rest of the team (who started over there) could do actual combat.

Zurui posted:No, I know what Kiefer Sutherland looks like as a vampire. I was curious what this slam is in reference to: Many of the Skins for the Skinless were movie ripoffs. One was a ripoff of Cat People, another was Carrie. The skins were either dull or unplayable, but the ripoff ones were blatant; the Cat People one had the move "every time you're emotionally aroused, you turn into an animal or freak out." The "Fury" had other players betray you, until you developed psychic powers to kill them.

Evil Mastermind posted:Well, in Black Flag you are forced to stop your cool sandboxy pirate and exploration adventure to return to the "real world" and walk slowly around a modern office building to get unskippable cutscened at. That sounds like something Wick would do. It's also the best pirate game ever made. And the one with the best views of downtown Canada.

If we only played the games by people who agree with people we agree with universally, the hobby is me and Bucnasti playing solo '77. It's also a Barn Door/Horse situation where Avery's made 300% of her goal by day 3 of her Kickstarter. People get a lot more from threatening to pull $18 then they ever would from a Monsterhearts Community Patch.

Aloha Louis makes some good points. The closer you set a game in real world systems the more likely you are to turn gamenight into an argument. The definition of someone using the book to slow down play & win is rules lawyering.

I played once and it took an entire evening to do setup & one fight. It was a deer with man-hands that charged huge distances at us as my guy slowly, slowly moved between healing ferns.

I just unbacked Madcap https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sanguine/madcap-screwball-cartoon-role-play-for-tabletop. They released the quick rules and well it kind of tells you how to make a cartoon game, the system does you no favors, the playbooks only have two moves and default stats, and the book isn't funny. I'm not paying for a cartoon game that isn't funny.

Bedlam hall is a great game but it's completely messed up that other people can use moves to decrease your XP, and you need to reach +4 to actually level up.
