Extropy - creating stuff with the spare homogeneity you have lying around. 😉
Worlds that have common magic in them, but the world is somehow not at all impacted by that magic. The classic example is the continual light spell... But then the cities don't have public lighting at night. The problem is thinking of magic as just a tool for adventurers alone.
Touchstones?
And yet here I am in the midst of making a game based on Thundarr at least partially. Your comment has inspired me to ensure the mechanics give the player an incentive to have characters do things like the example. And I know how to make this work.
I often write, "The theory we had back in the day was, XYZ." It's not new, it may be me in part, but it may not have been, could just have been part of the dialectic with which I was engaged. Seems honest, and clear.
I have my copy from the boxed edition that I purchased in 1978 on the shelf beside me. This is formative stuff for the hobby. I can still remember running the module almost 50 years ago.
Yay!! Sign-up, friends! You know you want to do it.
Seeing stuff like this makes me smile. 🙂
Inspiring work, Ben!
Help me survive the summer with the SUMMER SURVIVAL SALE.

Discord server for several reasons. One being that I'm already invested on the platform, and don't want to have to monitor another entirely. But Discord has a lot of features I like (you can actually play on Roll20 IN Discord now), now works in very stable fashion, and allows me to tailor the chats.
He's trying to gain their trust, because he knows the location of a powerful grimoire that he wants to recover. But they're not going to like where they have to go to get it...
Checking out the linked document, it includes a link to the playtest rules at DTRPG... however clicking on that link goes to a page that says "Your loot is in another cave...
You cannot access this content right now. " Can that be fixed, or is there another link to try?
Great article, you've understood this show well. As a huge fan of Band-Maid, I am loving them covering a new song each episode. Too much fun!
Love me some KGatLW!!!
Tower wizard for me. No question.
Somebody better be bringing a lighter, that portal isn't lit!
Se moi!
Not familiar. Checking it out! :)
No GM? That'd never work!
I'd love to discuss this some time. I have an alternative to the drive for "story" in RPGs. Not a competing idea, but a complimentary one.
Sound interesting?
I was thinking of one of those ritual response pilgrim games that folks played a few years back in threads like these. But I'm thinking I can invent something better...
This is a great idea. Tarottop, I think you're on the right track! But I think I might try making my own deck!
Loved the Rockford Files! One thing that was great about it was that he used fast talk to get what he needed a lot. Better yet, he failed at that like half the time, and regularly got beat up for it. It wasn't that he was exceptional as a Private Investigator, he had realistic motives.
Hmmm. Let's do a game with this... yeah?
Yeah, see, it doesn't matter, this algorithm is good, so once you like anything, and then click on more stuff, it'll pick on that too (not just the first ten), and eventually your feed is bliss. Just like what you like and you're all good!
You can't study up on everything. They know that, and they're less hoping to find someone who knows the topic dead on, but who has experience that shows they can pick it up in short order. After all, the particular details of the project or job you are going to have to learn for sure.
