Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD JUL 29: When playing a Superhero system, do you have a specific archetype that you usually go for?

But I like my heroes heroic in personality type. Often martial artists or gadgeteers, but I am happy to be flexible. I have done bricks, not many but a few, but not many flying blasters. We used to play a lot of Champions, so I am sure I have played all the main archetypes at least once.

I am always interested in how a super system deals with gadgeteers, inventor types not powered armor ones, so I usually try to build one with a new system just to see how it handles that niche.But I like my heroes heroic in personality type.

I am very much a "play what you want" type of CH. I will craft the adventures around your choices. All bards? Well, there is a music festival about to happen . . .

On occasion, a group has lacked something and I am willing to fill that role though possibly at a tangent. I rarely have a character idea so clearly in mind that I cannot pivot to play something else.I am very much a "play what you want" type of CH. I will craft the adventures around your choices.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD AUG 6: What would happen to a traditional werewolf it was actually on the moon? How does/would lycanthropy work in space? Do any space RPGs have rules for werewolves or similar creatures?

Okay, now I want to play a hipster werewolf. He doesn't grow fur, just a tuft of a beard, but well groomed 🤣

I'd forgot I asked this question. I have to say I've loved every response, thank you.ctimmins wrote:
A truly traditional werewolf would never let itself be found on the moon. Some of these younger hipster werewolves might do something like that.

Thread: LuÃs Brueh:: General Creator Forum:: Brueh or Brüeh?

I wonder why there a two ways the name of the designer is written. The credit sections in the rulebooks for his games have the name as Brüeh but then the name for the user account on BGG is Brueh and the name of the company is also Brueh Games. So in the end it doesn't really matter how you write the name?

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD AUG 3: Did you go to GenCon this year? How was it?
Posted: Thu, 06 Aug 18:39:25
Caught up, briefly, with a bunch of people I only see at GenCon. And I got in my yearly Titan City Mutants & Masterminds game with Alex Thomas which was wonderful as always. Sadly, I was not able to fit in a Games on Demand session.
While, yes, parts of GenCon are crowded, the Exhibitors Hall being the obvious one, you can avoid the areas and times of maximum density of people. I am not a fan of crowds either but I like the Exhititors Hall, so, I deal. But, I get it, it is usually the noise that wears on me more than the crowds.
I hear Origins is a much more managable size but I have not been in ages.

Yes, I did go. I was working for the Catalyst Demo Team (again, third year) CHing Shadowrun for 22 hours, as one of my games did not make. But all were good sessions, I was running what are called First Taste scenarios, two-hour blocks to introduce people to the game and world through a short adventure. Much fun. But tricky, it is a lot to pack into two-hours especially when you have five to seven players.Caught up, briefly, with a bunch of people I only see at GenCon.
