Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD JUL 1: What game from your early gaming career that you have not played for ages would you like to revisit? Would you use the same rules or revamp it? What attracts you to it?

Man, I love this game more than I should. We played it back in '21 and while the rose-colored glasses held, combat was anything but flipping through a comic book...
So, you wanna sock the villain, eh? Solve this equation first:
target number = combat table cross reference + experience level + range/movement value + facing + accuracy (+ to hit (weapons))
Reminds me of something I saw online years ago called Top Ten (or maybe five) Worst Game Proposals Ever. Most of them were only mildly funny, but one took the cake, a space game touting, "one need know only a small amount of vector calculus to correctly plot a ship's movement." 🤣

Same here. If I come up with a setting element like this it's only for the game I'm currently running.
General ideas of campaigns I may want to run someday are the only thing I keep in my back pocket. I don't drill down into one of them and create content for it until I know I'm going to run it.

I'm keeping just about nothing in terms of world-building in my pocket. When I'm running something that's already sketched out, a lot of interesting ideas might come to me about the motivations, rivalries and such among these types of organizations but without a starting seed, they're just not things that I typically think about.

Sometimes they even have 3 heads! The tamarins are a really crazy group of monkeys- if you want to see a really amazing one, look up the emperor tamarin.
