This thread is for storing and sharing any ideas related to rpgs. The level of detail or completion doesn't matter. It's meant to be a place to put in ideas so you don't forget it, or want to revisit it in the future, or just because your players wouldn't be interested in the ideas. I got this idea when rereading my Rolemaster books. There are so many different types of spellcasters, most of which specialize in one form of magic. So I thought about a possible campaign where all magic must focus on a single aspect. There won't be generic wizards casting fireballs. There will be healers, oracles, alchemists, and other specialists. Magic will be more utilitarian …

Hey all, I will shed some light on Gemini for people to understand it. Gemini is my passion project that I’ve been picking away at for a few years now. It started as a Rifts conversion to OpenD6 that I ran for fun a few years ago. During that playtest, I realized that the ‘Special Abilities’ system in OpenD6 was a little anemic in some regards (and super overpowered in others). My perspective was mainly influenced by my years of playing Hero. I liked much of the speed and simplicity of OpenD6, and I knew I wanted to merge the two somehow. That led me down the path to something called Chimera. Chimera was just something I did for my friends. A…

Not sure how many of you have had to ask this question, but what do you think would be a good way to get your significant other (of any type, married or not) to accept that you are a gamer. So, how have the rest of you dealt with something like this (assuming they are not a gamer as well of course, but then again perhaps they like different games and not the type you prefer). And this is just a general discussion, as I am completely without any relationship, none of it will affect me personally.

In 2020 we kicked off a series focused on martial arts and how to incorporate them into Metahumans Rising. Now we want to revisit that series. Help us pick the next round of styles we cover in this poll:https://forms.gle/iaHWnLwY4segBorf7

This is the RPG sprung from the Sentinels of the Multiverse boardgame. There are a few mechanics that seem interesting and am thinking of playing it. Anyone had any experience with it?

Just curious if anyone else here is using Talespire as a VTT? Just curious. It's a rule agnostic 3D VTT that I have been loving since 2020. I can't remember if I have already posted this question here. If I Have I will understand if the Mod delete this.

5e D&D (this is non-negotiable) game. GM is a ~*Writer*~ with all the baggage that word implies. GM also likes swerves & Misery Porn. Hubby begs me to join "because they're OUR FRIENDS~!" The premise given is it's a high level game, where our toons are tasked with saving the world from Evil ASAP, with OOC reasoning we're cleaning up the mess from a previous campaign (that neither me nor hubby were involved in). Things are ok, for the most part, but there's hinky stuff in the background with someone hacking into our warforged barbarian remotely to give her a breath weapon to attack us with against her will, the elven ranger's higher-ups are being su…

While updating various files in preparation for the upcoming Extra Life charity game event along with some conversations with people I know in the local rpg community, I realized that Hero System is no longer my "go-to" game of choice for superhero and fantasy as it was back when I was in high school and college. Since I now run sessions at local game events where players arrive and use a pregenerated character, player interest has leaned more towards rules light systems like ICONS that are easy to understand and pick up upon arrival. I haven't ran Fantasy AGE yet, but after some brief conversations with a few who are either new to RPGs or have played D&D, the impress…

The Article At 13th Dimension Saw this on Facebook and thought I'd pass it along. Champions does get a mention here, albeit not a particularly favorable one. But there are some seriously old-school games noted here.

The School Buzz Saw this on Facebook and thought I'd pass this along. After all the grief we RPGers went through in the Eighties, it's always good to see stuff like this.

I dont usually so PDF reading, sure; I am glad I have them, and in cases like T5, where I haven't been able to find affordable paper copies. It isnt even an aesthetics thing (though it kind of is that as well). The fact is that, even though it is part of my job and hanging out here, stafing at a screen is actively unpleasant for me. It isnt too far removed from staring into a 15 watt light bulb for hours on end. Unpleasant. I am not going to type out all my thoughts on T5- so far I have more than I ever want to type (which is saying something, I think), and I am exactly 54 pages into this 656 pqge book. I did want to take a moment to share my …

I have a player in my Hero 6E campaign who has changed the character already once in the game prior to starting. We have played six sessions, which is maybe 1/4 or 1/5 of the way through the campaign. The player now wants to play a digressively different character, because he said it would be more fun. Would any of you allow this? As a GM, I am highly frustrated at this attitude period I believe it is showing a great disrespect for the effort that I’ve made to not only create this game, but I actually work with the players to create a backstory which will fit into the game and allow me to write their stories into the campaign material.…

The Take Aways I've had from this are Races are the rubber suit your character wears. Feats come from backgrounds. It's just a tweak. re-adjustment and overlay of 5e rules. That D&D Beyond will be your character repository, and that their Unreal Engine Gaming environment will most likely be subscription based, collecting from all participants and will duplicate a lot of Tabletop Simulator's features.
