I know way more about Star wars but feel vague suspicion and resentment that this makes me petite bourgeoisie.

I think simple dice games such as Yahtzee, Farkle, etc, would be hits. At https://www.freethedice.com we host those games along with Sixzee, our own creation. A lot of the players are well into retirement age and log in day after day, this is their equivalent of a social club.

You might also find that any games they used to play in their own childhood go down well, such as Risk, Monopoly (...yes, I know, I know), Backgammon etc.

Or how about Lost Cities, the card game? Magic Maze might be fun to see the arguments it causes :)

Asides from being fun, short, easy to learn and possibly games they remember, these kinds of small puzzle games are probably a good challenge and keep the brain active.

I also just added the ability to read comments directly on LoaL. Hope people find it useful! Happy to take feature requests too.

Well you asked for requests... Since you're already able to pull users "For Trades" etc., would you be able to filter out within LoaL the games we already own? Speaking for the majority of people, I think if you're able to filter out the games you already own from those offered would be great so we don't have to scroll through those we already own. (Unless you already have this capability and I missed it!)

Entry #89 on Solitaire Games On Your Table - May 2026 is Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice. And it wasn't written by me :geek_grin:.

I design games that I want to play. And now that I'm taking real steps- like pitching and like putting games up on The Game Crafter, I just have to hope that others will like them too...

Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice now has its first rating and its first comment.

I'm happy. Like I literally cannot stop smiling right now :geek_grin:.

Happy Tuesday and happy playing!
-Rachel

I don’t have a lot of gaming experience with Force Users in Star Wars systems. But this did give me a reason to contemplate how I might would design a system for Force Users. Here’s my not especially long thought out subsystem concept. Hope you enjoy! (Note: I didn’t read other responses because I wanted to see what I came up with without looking at other people’s stuff. If this looks like something someone already shared, that’s not a bad thing, just means I was probably on a good track. If it looks like how a system out there already approaches the Force, we’ll, same deal, lol.)

Rules Ideas:

Depending on your ‘Starting Level’ as a Force user you have 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12 as ranks for the Surrounds, Penetrates, Binds stats (Ex. an untrained Force User who has never tried to use the Force actively, may have 1d4 in all three stats). These are referred to as SPB stats. When a Force User is attempting an action, the GM decides which SPB stat applies. The general definitions used to help with deciding are –

*Surrounds – the Force is being utilized by using something external to the Force User to accomplish the action
*Penetrates – the Force is being utilized by using something internal to the Force User to accomplish the action
*Binds – the Force is being utilized by using something that connects the target and the Force User to one another to accomplish the action

Any Force action the GM allows can be attempted but a roll of 1-3 means the attempt to use the Force fails.

Anything that the GM will allow to be done using the Force can potentially be added to the PC as an Aptitude. When something is notated as an Aptitude it means that the PC rolls the SPB stat as 1 higher for each time the Force use has been added as an Aptitude. (Ex. A PC has taken the Aptitude ‘Light Saber Combat’ and has taken that Aptitude twice, now if they would ordinarily roll an SPB stat as 1d4, they would instead roll it as 1d8 when doing Light Saber Combat).

When making a check the player chooses what Flow type they are using (Light/Dark). Choosing to use the Light Flow increases Aptitude-based and Defensive action results by +1 for the round. Choosing to use the Dark Flow decreases the Failure number by -2 and requires a Warp roll.

Making a Warp roll requires rolling 1d20. If you fail a Warp roll then the PC’s action must in some way be controlled by Fear, Anger, or Hate. Initially, the Warp roll fails on a roll of 1. Any time you fail a Warp roll in addition to being overcome by Fear/Anger/Hate, the PC gains Warp Weight which increases the failure range of the Warp roll on later rolls by +1 (this maxes out at Warp Weight of 19). In addition, for every 5 points of Warp Weight, the Force User takes an additional -1 disadvantage when using Flow as the Light Flow type and on reaching 19 an additional -1 disadvantage is taken when using Light Flow as if they had reached 20 (Ex. A PC with a Warp Weight of 19 would fail Force rolls when using a Light Flow on 1-7).

How I approached building this:

I built this on some quotes from the movies. They mention the Force Surround, Penetrates, and Binds together. The Force Flows through you, and it can either Flow in a way that falls under the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. The Light Side generally helps with Knowledge and Defense, but not attack. The Dark Side is the fast track for accomplishing actions through the Force. The more you give into using the Dark Side of the Force the more it dominates you and leads you to act in Fear, Anger, and Hate. In theory, this is built so that the more you use the Dark Side the less the PC has control over themselves. That’s the scoop! This was fun to consider! Thank you!

Which is your most/least favorite RPG based on the Star Wars IP? Why?

Bonus Question: Do you plan to see The Mandalorian & Grogu in theaters, wait until it comes out in streaming or DVD, or not watch it at all?

In order: FFG, WEG 2.0, WEG 2.2, WEG 1.5 (1.0+RC), WEG 1.1 (1.0+RE), WEG 1.0, nothing at all, WotC (all)...

Waiting for streaming. Financial, not lack of desire.
