What would you be looking for in an S&S game that DW doesn't fit?

LogicNinja posted:

I'm running my first game of DW (albeit via play-by-post) and it's plenty interesting. The GM move guidelines have pushed me to do things that I wouldn't have otherwise, and it's worked out pretty great.

It's just a little bit that you think a conversation about a game that includes a less than optimal outcome must by it's nature devolve into a battle of wills and social skullduggery.

sounds like a good time to have a conversation as adults about their behavior and expectations for how the game is going to go. if that fails, then show them the door

Chat has been loving dreadful this year. Like, somehow worse than last year which I didn't think could be a thing?

LOL. I thought of it the other way with in character leakage:

PC1: What was that shadow?
PC2 (looking out of a porthole): Something huge just went past us, guys.
PC3: It’s over here now! It’s just swimming around us!
(A huge cry shakes the ruined hull)
PC1: Oh, don’t worry. It’s just threat escalating.
PC2: What?
PC1: We’re in a “nebulous external threat” scene. Don’t sweat it. Just put on your best act.
PC2: Our act?
PC1: Yea, scream and run around and stuff and it won’t touch us. Or it might look like it will, but trust me, we’re all getting out of here completely intact with the gem.

So, not knowing anything about the blastersaber I do a quick google...

wookiepedia claims the lightsaber part is built "light and swift" to take advantage of his speed....how the hell does that work. The only part of the lightsaber that should have any weight is the actual handle, and he's the only jedi that has an actual gun snapped to the base, meaning his should be the slowest (outside of the weird exotic ones light Maul's extra-long saber-staff). Unless they're somehow claiming that his laser-blade somehow weighs less than other laser blades?

Trying to remember a RPG that I've heard of in passion. Something about giant mechs being piloted in tandems, with an emotional compatibility system between pilots and partners. Very anime.

Any ideas?

Are there any RPGs that work well with just 3 people?

Is there a good game for playing as a ruler of a duchy/small country? I'm looking at REIGN but am open to other ideas.

Are mechanicless/roll-less PBP games allowed here? Role play with no systems or mechanics (aside from an inventory)?

Is there an example of a wargame, ala Infinity, that has a narrative element that has ended?
Not like, line cancelled, game shuttered. But the Devs go "this was the story we wanted to tell, no more fluff updates."

I understand that in the case of a still living and hugely popular game that's unlikely. But beyond that.

I have little to no TRPG experience so I have no real perspective on how hard something is to play. Regardless, I don't have anyone to play with, but if I come across the book again I might just pick it up.

I still have to actually rope some people into playing Dungeon World, though.

If I wanted to play in a particular system, but the goon games don’t have any of that type recruiting right now, what’s another good place to find groups? I want to avoid the insanity detailed in the Cat Piss thread so I’m wary of joining random poo poo on Roll20, but that doesn’t give me a lot of selection. IRL friends aren’t interested in starting a TRRPG campaign due to something I’ve never figured out.

Serious question, did anyone here buy Guide to Glorantha and, if you did, did you actually read it cover to cover?

I feel like a good number of shonen battles - at least in better series like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or One Piece - are kind of more like puzzle challenges than straightforward fights. The hero has to work out how best to leverage their own powers creatively to beat a foe that is likely unbeatable in a straightforward fight. Though that's not always the case, of course, sometimes there's a secondary element or dilemma that keeps the hero from just throwing out whatever their Big Attack is, like a hostage or a promise they made or they've been debuffed somehow. I'm not sure there's a system that really does that well yet, through I know folks have certainly considered it.
