I'd have to write it up 😁 but it is based on @effektpodcast.org ideas in this episode. www.effektpodcast.org/262 which leverages the push mechanism from their Tales of the Old West.
I went a bit further to assign group vs individual DP, still experimenting with it.
In addition, the core "push a roll" mechanic and production of Darkness Points to allow the GM to mess with players quickly produces so many DP you don't know what to do with it. We've had to house rule some of this.

Ken and Robin talk idiot plotting in rpg mysteries, Project Azorian, the Green Man, and Erich von Daniken.
06.03.2026 14:22 — 👍 17 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 0I am also running a fortnightly campaign of Coriolis: The Third Horizon, which has a very rich setting. An old iteration of Year Zero Engine, so not to everyone's taste, but as I think @effektpodcast.org say, there is an adventure hook in every paragraph of the book... I personally love it.

I think I'd go Pressure, as it expands the universe, more campaign centric & is backwards compatible with TDP.
I think both do a good balancing act of using pressure/panic mechanics, I think it's less extreme than other RPGs.
But both I've run successfully at cons & there are loads of one-shots.

I have maps, my OS map app, compass, this guide but I still suspect we will get lost at some stage... one day I'll do Ivinghoe to Avebury, The Ridgeway National Trail, well not in a day, but you know what I mean...

I thought for one crazy moment this was the Merryshire / Page Turners crossover the world was looking for, but that would be a double g Boggart.

Ivinghoe Beacon, a lush ridge in the Buckinghamshire countryside
Doing the Ivinghoe Beacon Ridgeway Circular Walk tomorrow.
A 10 mile route from Tring, through Aldbury Nowers, Ivinghoe Beacon & Ashridge. Loads of old burial sites, iron age hill forts and ancient myths; the Wizard of Aldbury aka Sir Guy de Gravade, Grim the giant and the '77 Ivinghoe UFO vigil!
Pip, pip, Scotty!

It's free!
If crashing, certainly did on Windows 11, I went through and updated graphics drivers and now it is stable.
About to use it for a big layout project...
Love Clerks ❤️

Another great session of @effektpodcast.org 's Tales of the Old West last night.
Sides taken. Good deeds done. Ambushes avoided. But a difficult conversation ahead.

A very good, but now almost forgotten, British movie. One to set your recording device of choice for, if you can't watch on broadcast.
