For those of you who didn't catch the onyx path publishing virtual con they announced a bunch of new books and at least one new game. But more importantly they also announced a 3rd edition of scion!!!!

I am so goddamn hyped. Scion my beloved <3

I’ve been seeing news of the expansions being crowdfunded on Backerkit, and it seems super unique. I’ve seen some older posts with the OG expansions, but they’re a few years old at this point. Any newer opinions on the game before one dives head first into the backerkit?

Plenty of games have subsystems that work more-or-less in isolation from everything else. What about the opposite, where the designers have crafted two different subsystems that have really clever interplay that makes the game as a whole better?

Interpret that however you wish.

Hi! I know this has been probably discussed before and I'm already checking the wiki and old threads, but I find everything a little confusing/not applying to my case.

I usually chat with my fellas with Discord and play RPGs irl, and we're willing to start playing RPGs online because of the distance.

When we play, having Maps/scenery and minis is a very important element (a deal breaker, I might say) so I'm looking for some tool to play RPGs with a virtual tabletop or map and tokens, since "just theater of the mind" is not an option.

I'm fine with my players keeping their own sheets, tracking their own health and rolling their own dice so sheets/dice/bookepping is not required.

I just want a tool for everybody to be able to move their token in real time, point/draw stuff and me (the dm) to be able to add or remove tokens and elements on the fly and maybe measure or impose a grid. With the ability to import my own Maps and tokens from plain images/PDF. Best if it works on PC and Android and preferably free, or single payment with no user limit.

Right now I'm about to load my maps on GIMP/Photoshop and Stream my own display through Discord or a remote Desktop app, but there must be a better way.

Any help, please?

Hello,

I was trying to compile a list of the best tools for a new GM, I have a friend starting out and I think I use a lot of tools just out of habit. What tools do you all prefer to use for designing or running games. I mean, name generators, token makers.. like anything that makes your life easier.

I use Lore Keeper, I was using Dungone Door Doodler.. like i dont know whats out there thats good anymore. Suggestions?

Yes I know I can google this, but I want opinions from users, not google or AI. Dont be that person.

I'm considering running something in the vein of Bill & Ted, and would like a system that handles time travel as something more than a hand wave.

I've been considering something similar mechanically to some PBtA or BitD games, utilizing flashbacks. Any other suggestions?

It's a bit of a weird question until you see what I'm talking about.

A Slightly Different Minecraft Trailer by Neytirix is kind of insane. It was a fan reimagining of what a Minecraft movie's trailer could've been, and was released between A Minecraft Movie's trailer and its release.

I want to talk about the music, the art style, the drama and stakes it evoked, but all of it speaks for itself.

What I want is to ask: What system would you run or recommend to capture the vibes of that trailer? Because it's been bugging me since the video's release over a year ago.

Note that I'm only looking for the vibes, not the lore.

I would expect...

• A low fantasy setting.
• Having to convince people and factions who have competing interests to prepare for an unfathomable war.
• Participating in party-sized skirmishes and army-sized clashes alike. (Not necessarily controlling an army, just boots-on-ground chaos alongside ally soldiers.)
• Badasses.
• Tough monsters.
• Despair, hope, and sacrifice.

Hi all

So as the title is asking is there any unusual or very obvious Australian or New Zealand TT RPG's?

The only one I have come across so far is Hunter Planet. and i've just backed the 3rd edition on Kickstarter.

Looking forward to people's suggestions :)

I am currently staring down a recruitment post:

The system does not require a traditional GM. Everything will be generated on the fly, which means I’ll also be able to participate as a player instead of only running the game.

We’ll use ChatGPT as the narrator. Players will describe their actions, we’ll provide dice rolls and prompts, and ChatGPT will help narrate the results, rooms, encounters, monsters, clues, and twists.

The tone will be a straightforward fantasy adventure: dangerous dungeons, strange monsters, and an undead villain waiting somewhere in the dark.

Why? To what end? (Frankly, I get the feeling that the recruitment post itself is LLM-generated, too.)

This is not even the first time I have encountered LLM-based GMing:
