If you ever want to know why the US doesn't have an equivalent to K-Pop it's because we DID in the 90s and early 00's and then record companies decided they'd rather have single superstars than groups when it comes to Black people.

Per arc a few days to weeks. Per session a few minutes to 2 hours.
I tend to think more of where thi gs are going broadly. The wrap up at the end of the session usually does the lifting for the next session.

Yep. It is impossible not to. Even "non political" games often have political messages /intents of the writer baked into them. Every time I've heard someone say "xyz isn't political" it's usually bc their own view align with the creators/authors.

Yw! Michael J Fox has a small part in it too!

See You Yesterday... It even has MJF in it.

See You Yesterday - Wikipedia

Loved this movie. See You Yesterday has a similar vibe with layers of Black Society of Ether en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You...

On the plus side they seem to be of the same mind. Wouldn't be surprised I'd Zohran brings him on I'm some capacity before Brad runs for something bigger.

I haven't had much of the "hide in the shadows edgelord" the assassin player in my Mage game mostly wanted to just spend time with her cat and have iced coffee.

Unofficially 6 with star frontiers though I had no idea wtf I was doing
Officially 10 with Palladiums Robotech RPG had a better grasp on things and could make a character.

Hands down Mage: the Ascension. My longest chronicle clocked in at more than 150 sessions over 3 years. I've run one-shots at four conventions and played as a PC in 4 sessions.

I think there should be a distinction between a conflict of ideas/ rules and an unexpected/unanticipated outcome/result/failure/success. For the unexpected, don't be afraid of it. Run with it. Or call a break for a few min. to make it work with your plans

I haven't had a lot of disagreements but when they come up if I there isn't a clear resolution we usually do either A: follow the rule of (reasonable) cool B: roll off C: save it for post game debrief. I find it helpful to keep a shared file of house rules and rulings.

SMG's Robotech

Have you ever watched Babylon 5? The depth of characters by the 2nd season is great and amazing by the end of the 4th.

I feel the same way about Palladium Books Robotech/Rifts which were my first rpgs. The systems are just awful.

SMG's ROBOTECH is fkn awesome.

To quote the Alkaholiks "There ain't nothing to it but to do that shit and print it/ and it's all about the loot so every move is documented"
Go, Publish, Making dope shit is always better than not!

I am working on some hip hop themed splat for Mage The Ascension. If you need some connections to Hip-hop historians, Graff writers and educators drop me a line.

Done! #onepagerules #wh40k #blackwater

Would be down to play or run a one shot and see what happens.

Listen here Ginko I'm trying to expand my rpg base, not deepen it by making an update to Home of the Brave... which is feeling more like a real history book these days. ;)

Gotta have like, goals man :)

Unfortunately boot locking isn't a crime. Bribery and extortion however, is.

Looking to connect with other RPG heads in Philadelphia. Drop a line and what games you like and a game you may love but may never play. I'll go first:

Gamed I like: Mage: The Ascension, 10 Candles, Cyberpunk 2020/RED, SMG's ROBOTECH

Game I will probably never play: Nobilis :(

Any suggestions on good political oriented rpgs?
