This, I'll admit is an odd post to make, but, basically, "World of Game Design" is a company buying out unfulfilled TTRPG KS campaigns, Completely changing their scope, using AI, and then "fulfilling" them with a completely different product and saying you can't get a refund.
So, far, the only two campaigns affected are "Pixel Intrigue 5e" and "To Insanity And Beyond."
Now, you can't protect yourself for the moment. They're buying out successful, unfulfilled campaigns and finishing them cheap. So, if you backed something like that, it's at risk.
But, the prevailing thought (since this is likely losing them money) is to build up a history of "successful campaigns" to then launch their own and seem legitimate. Which sounds absolutely silly but I also can't see any other reason to do it either: these are multi-year dead campaigns that likely spent all the backer money already, so what does buying it out grant you otherwise? (edit: Someone said it may also be to be able to say "from a successful kickstarter in marketing, which LMAO)
When they do pivot and try to use these bought our campaigns, know they are just "project flippers."
Also, don't expect great customer service given how they're talking to backers of these "flipped projects:" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitesizedgaming/to-insanity-and-beyond/posts/4803623

I’ve been pretty much a DnD 5e purist since I started ttrpg stuff a few years ago, but I really enjoy low fantasy/rustic fantasy. I tried searching for new systems to fit that, but they all either seem too whimsical (like Kids on Bikes) for the more horror-esque settings I usually run, or are way too specific in the setting they were made for.
I know Call Of Cthuhlu Is good, and I’ve actually done a few sessions playing it, but I’m hoping for something that doesn’t dissuade combat quite as much as CoC does.

I've had the pleasure of running Memento Mori (MM) for a couple different groups of Drifters over the past months. This game has a LOT to offer Narrators and players, and yet the core book can be tough to sort through. No one's been talking much about MM in the last year...anywhere...on the interwebs, so I'm gonna start sharing tips on how to get started with Burning Sky, the intro adventure...
To start, you gotta leave all the fun Session 0 stuff behind until you get really familiar with the game.
That is, Burning Sky doesn't require a Session 0 since it already contains information that would’ve been determined from filling in the Binding Pact, creating Drifters and their Dreams, building the story from those details, then weaving the Omen and connecting it to each Drifter. This holds true for Old City, the pre-made adventure available on DriveThruRPG. These pre-made adventures consolidate questions 2 and 3 from the Binding Pact (i.e., to determine the group and shared objectives, as well as the great secret they keep) into what is listed as a Drifter’s “connection” (p. 249).
So, later on, you're gonna share each Drifter’s connection with their player since those details are not found on the character sheets. This is the first "huh?!" moment to deal with. Next, I'll reply with the first steps of prepping Burning Sky.

Lets say for the sake of argument that you travel back in time and show our modern ttrpg games to those players, would they enjoy how ttrpgs have evolved and been refined or would thiere be more push back with a feeling of how these ttrpgs would have been way to streamlined?
Im mostly curious over what drove the earliest players of ttrpgs players
obviously diffrent pepole diffrent tastes but just humour me

I am a huge fan of the 2d20 system.
Modiphius is currently having huge deals on RPGs like Dune and John Carter of Mars:

I was really impressed with this supplement and how it went at my Sunday game. I used the random dungeon making tables and it basically let me run a dungeon with no prep. It did feel a tad linear and it took 5 minutes per room. Both I could fix by just doing all the rolls before the game and mapping it out to look more organic.
But, it's locked to Dungeon World. I like DW but I play it rarely. Any thing similar for an OSR game or D&D? Have an IRL group that mainly plays 5e and I think something like this would be great for the GM.

Hello!
I really love the atmosphere, aesthetic, and universe of Deadlock. I'm usually the forever DM for fantasy TTRPGs, and I'd love to create a campaign set in the Deadlock universe, or at least in a setting heavily inspired by it.
The mix of the 1930s/urban fantasy vibe, occult elements, strange creatures, magic, and firearms really appeals to me. Of course, I'm tempted to delve into Call of Cthulhu or Vampire: The Masquerade, but I'm curious to hear your suggestions!
Thanks!

I've been looking for this card featuring a silhouette swinging on a swing or skiing in the snow, probably from the 80s. I've already searched through countless vintage cards and couldn't find it on WorthPoint. Hopefully, someone can help track it down—I would be extremely grateful!
The reason I think it's from D&D is that Dustin's character in Stranger Things has a room full of D&D references. Also, several other items decorating the set were from the Endless Quest books, among other things...
I reached out to the set decorator coordinator, Jessica Baker, and she told me this card wasn't custom-made for the show. They just used a random one, but she doesn't remember which one it was. She also mentioned it won't be in any upcoming auctions because crew members likely kept it. I've been looking for this for a year and a half now. Can anyone please help me ID it?
Unfortunately, we never got a better look at this specific item throughout the entire show (Stranger Things)—just this unknown behind-the-scenes photo.

Hello everyone,
I have written a short TT-RPG campaign I was inspired for, and the story is really cool but I lack a system to make it work as a campaign.
The idea is, basically, that every player would be playing as a historical character from real history, but evolve into a universe where their historical characteristics turn into special abilities/powers. For example, Alfred Nobel could blow stuff up, Joan of Arc could have some divine guidance, Katsuhika Hokusai could summon big waves. Things like that. The list of characters is not set as I want my players to be able to choose a historical figure for themselves, and work from there.
So I need a system that allows for the easy creation of abilities/powers without depending on a class/level system like D&D.
However I don't want a system that is too broad either such as FATE. I want to be able to clearly define what abilities a character has, and determine what constitutes as a successful use of that ability.
So yeah, I am looking for system recommendations. Feel free to suggest whatever you like. And if it is a free system which I can access online without having to purchase a rulebook, ever better.
Thank you, and may your rolls be successes!

Hello!
I am looking for a very particular, no idea if even exist, kind of game. So I will explain my situation:
I am the administrator and "designer" of a West Marches/Guild like game that is very crunchy and mechanics heavy and I have started to burn about that space of TTRPGs.
But my burn out is more specific about a game being mostly about combat and having such detailed mechanics when people is fighting mooks, minions, and similar. As designing bosses and playing boss fights is still one of my favorites things.
So, I am looking as a palette cleanser for a game that has robust narrative mechanics (thinking in like, Traveller, Wildsea, Chronicles of Darkness, etc) but that can still deliver, each 3~6 sessions, an interesting Boss Combat that can take a whole Session on itself.
Again, no idea if something like this exist, but would be welcome!
Thanks for reading.
