Capes is phenomenal, a great four-color feel. It's just not very learnable from the book. Link up with someone who loves it and learn it that way. I really feel like the world is waiting for the definitive Fate-based supers game.

5 hours. [Um, new work is preferred? Chances are I won't be able to tell tho]

Kickstarter announces tags, in the nick of time - I've been hearing friends complain about the findability of tabletop RPG projects. (Encourage your friendly local KSer to use #trpg, or at least #rpg.)
-
Oh shit! Turn your back for, um, a lot of months and everything goes to hell! Do we still need/want a wiki? And this is utterly idle spec, but: have people seen Federated Wiki?
-
Bhaloidam, one of the year's most interesting Kickstarted RPGs in my view, has made its Creative Commons-licensed rulebook freely available at last. Take a look at a weird, appealing way to communicate a weird, appealing game.
-
oh shiiiiiiiiiiii
-
Been kicking around Leagues of America, an anti-superhero game. Not an anti-hero game. More that the opposition player plays characters recognizable as "superheroes," by rules that mirror those of all the superhero RPGs I hate, where it matters to t…

Not to make this all a bit too necro, but in hopping back to the beginning of the thread for context, I caught this from Ron's first post in it: Because "brain damage" is used as a pejorative by high-schoolers, does not mean a thing, except to peopl…

It seems abundantly clear that Rite is paying Diceless by Design and Diceless by Design is paying the Wujcik estate.
-
Overspended!!! Only to a PDF level, but I am getting those army rules. Tasty, tasty army rules.
-
I quite like the first sentence of Corporation RPG's there. "Roleplaying is a way to play a game."
-
How to Improvise a Full-Length Play: The Art of Spontaneous Theater by Kenn Adams. A little lightweight maybe compared to other improv books, but coming from a different place that I think is valuable.
-
The creator of the first wiki is now at work on something he calls Federated Wiki. It's not quite ready for prime time but is definitely interesting.
-
Sci-fi TV in general makes me think of a rule that would improve the economy in many PtA games: once per episode, when you and another player have dialogue that would launch a thousand fanfics whilst not actually being about sex, you both take a fan…

Every store in my area is either stocking indie story games, or cutting down to about two shelf-feet of D&D and Pathfinder. I would guess that any store not trending towards one or the other of these is, for other (but related) reasons, spiral…
-
D'oh. Let's see what I can do. [time passes] OK, you're in. Very sorry.
-
I posted on Gibberish about roleplaying, the fundamental attribution error, and the limits of "just roleplaying it out."
-
Pbffftahahahahahaha this is rad
-
Arpie, there are a lot of folks in this thread who share a certain fear endemic to American liberals: the fear of admitting that most close-minded hicks are going to stay that way. They haven't been led astray by the glorious truth having been kept …
-
Can anyone speak to setting up a non-profit entity? Obviously it'd change the way in which you could pay yourself for the performance of your product, but I think this is underexplored. I remember the Pagan Publishing guys talking at one point about…

Posted By: Hans c-o Anyone have a judgement on this one? A Switching Challenge is always at Aggregate-class Flow. Meaning, the Initiator has to risk 50 Flow. Meaning beginning characters who start with Switching Experience and their paltry beginni…
-
That said, not everything is a Challenge any more than all acts of violence or possible threats turn into combats in a game of D&D. Maybe that audience is the equivalent of a bunch of kobolds who stumbled across a rare holy relic and then met yo…
-
And done. DO YOUR WORST [EDIT bwahahahaha that was supposed to be a whisper to Rob abt adding him to the wiki member list. So look for his article there soon I guess. Reminder, anyone who wants wiki edit privs and doesn't seem to have them, just wh…

Posted By: RobMcDiarmidAnd if that's true, then, in my mind, that makes the concepts even less useful for anything other than doing group therapy on your gaming group. CA was initially based on observation of what conflicts at the table. Try to use …
-
We define roleplaying because separating form from content frees you from cultural bondage. We saw this happen in the field of comics; it is not coincidence in my view that around ten years after Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, we suddenly had…
-
Posted By: jenskotIt seemed like we had to change the model from "tell us what you want to play" to "were running Dread anytime between 2-6pm, come if you are curious, even just to watch" to make room for less known games. Talk a little more about t…

My GF drew me this for my birthday: It's a little subtle right now, but I am loath to ask her to draw an owlbear in full Log Lady drag; not sure why.
-
No, it's much more abstract - closer to Vinci by the same designer. It feels a little like an investment game in conquest-game clothing.

sidtube's outage seems to have been momentary! hoorayz

Basically I upgraded WordPress and FeedWordPress decided to shit the bed spectacularly. I could rip everything down and reinstall but I haven't had time; it might be sensible for someone else to take it on.
-
Yeah, and I still couldn't get them in any automatic way. I manually copied them out of the one bit of the admin that still works.

[kickstarters in which mr. nathan is interested 1] Posted By: ndpMy new microgame Vesna Thaw is doing well - I'm brainstorming an appropriate stretch goal. Maps? Fiction? Papercraft robots? That last one. OMG that last one.
-
I like the approach but I think it has to get handled very carefully. Frinstance, the difference between asking "what would get your character to concede?" and "what would get Pvt. Hamilton [the name of your character] to concede?" would be measurab…
-
Yeah, but at the very least, our choices are much more constrained by random (or not) whims of biology than we imagine. I have a crackpot theory that some folks actually find the sensation of arguing (and otherwise behaving) without feeling any neu…

So it's sure starting to look like the death of Planet SG is permanent, huh? I will try to get the list of feeds out soon for anyone who might want to use it.
-
Neurology, though. Dresden has the right of it as far as how social combat is handled in the simulation: you wear down their Composure. Nothing's going to wear down people's composure in real life, though. Why would it? All that's really happening …

Or incomprehensibly awesome

Someone really needs to make an asynchronous, web-based version of this. Corollary: "someone" is not me. Dammit I'm gonna end up wanting to do this anyway huh
-
I'd also guess that a lot of sales for Mouse Guard in particular didn't come from "game stores" per se.

Posted By: McdaldnoOn my site, I created a page for all my little games & hacks that I've developed. A new one is posted up there: a generic, streamlined take on Apocalypse World. This is a great framework for hacks! What kind of terms would yo…
-
Yeah, I haven't had time to work on it. It's possible that past syndicated posts will need to be blown away to get it back up, so I hope nobody was counting on this as Cloud Blog Storage or anything.

Posted By: mease19Stop, you guys are making me really hungry. Yes, but you can decide what it means to you.

I'm really having trouble getting excited enough about something to commit to running it. Also I'm having trouble wanting to play anything but Microscope. I would be down to co-GM one of these slots. I will just, I don't know, probably run Microsc…

Posted By: GrahamIf you want to use the Dark Symbols, you don't need to ask. Just do it. You don't note that anywhere in the linked post. Unless the offer is only extended to S-G.com readers, you might want to?
-
Make it the same weekend as Gen Con. This would be spiritually satisfying.
-
The only problem there is the growing number of games that offer free versions of the PDF when you buy the paper copy, even when the paper copy is not especially "chromed out." It's not quite a baseline consumer assumption yet, but if you're going d…

...huh. This is less of a problem for us locals, but still a bit... much?

Posted By: sageWhile I'm super excited to see how this turns out, this is what I get from WotC's comments so far: "We're making a new brand of ice cream! It has no flavor at all, then you can add your favorite flavors, and every combination is awes…
