This post will stay stickied for (at least) the week-end. Please enjoy this space where you can talk about anything: your last game, your current project, your patreon, etc. You can even talk about video games, ask for a group, or post a survey or share a new meme you've just found. This is the place for small talk on /r/rpg.

The off-topic rules may not apply here, but the other rules still do. This is less the Wild West and more the Mild West. Don't be a jerk.

Hi, we’re the designers of One Last Fight, a roguelike card-based storytelling RPG!

One Last Fight is a unique blend of roleplaying and board game elements. You play as seasoned heroes who are about to face the final boss. Throughout the game, you tell the story of your approach to the boss lair, the lair itself, and the final encounter.

Key details:

• GMless
• 1–4 players
• Uses cards, dice, and character boards
• 1–2 hours
• Check out the full rulebook PDF

Do you have a question you’d like to ask us about? We’d love to talk game design with you! Drop your questions here!

Can I get some clarification?

Apparetnlty the complete text of the 5e rulebook is free under an OGL created by Atlas.

But the core rulebook product is not

The title is kind of a misnomer? I've been wanting to run a game for a while, and the premise for the game is that the first ever supercomputer ever built was created to facilitate a full dive VR MMORPG experience, the players would be the newest wave of admitted players into the Sin server, which is the oldest server of the game and generally has the most Stuff:tm: going on.

Really what I'm looking for is a system whose mechanics would still hold up in a setting where metagaming (in that characters know their actual stats and shit) is possible and the baseline lore is being more than just ignored, but outright stated to be fabrication.

Matters of asynchronicity aren't a problem, I plan on making it a closed community of friends where things move forward whenever I decree it so.

Good evening all, I know AFMBE is an old game, and I've owned it for a long time and there has been a couple rules that have confounded me the whole time. Weak points.

Let's say we are going with the classic brain is the weak point on a zombie. Page 148 says its -5 to hit.

Is that -5 just for shooting the head? I find it hard to believe that it would be that difficult to swing a bat at a zombies head.

Even if it is just for shooting let's take the soldier into consideration, they have a dex of 4 and a handgun of 2, which then if you subtract 5 from that they only have a +1 to hit the head so they need to roll an 8 or higher on a d10 to hit.... that just seems really difficult. Am I misunderstanding the rules or is it really that tough to hit a zombie?

People usually ask for prep light games, but I was wondering about the opposite: what are the games that benefit the most from prep? Games such that if you put hours and hours of prep, the game rewards it tenfold.

Just got an e-mail from Kenzer that they are soon launching a Kickstarter for a new edition of Hackmaster.

Anybody have info on what's new for this edition?

Looking for suggestions on an RPG that could be used to run something like Romance of the three kingdoms where players start as nobody's during the yellow turban rebellion but can grow into officers of a lord with troops under them or their own warlord stuff.

As to clarify, when you join a game in a LFG post or something similar what sort of behaviours make you more likely to trust a GM and what makes you feel like this game might be problematic.

For me:

Green Flags

• Use of safety tools. If a GM asks me to fill out a consent form about what I am comfortable or uncomfortable about that is a huge green flag.
• Stating that they will consider things instead of allowing them right away. I don't mean just on my end but in general if a player asks for something and the GM asks for time to read up on it then it makes me trust the GM.
• Willingness to apologize. This is more of a person thing but if a GM apologizes after something is clarified that is a green flag for me.

Red Flags:

• Discriminatory jokes. Particularly jokes about terrorism raises a massive red flag for me.
• Inside jokes with their established players that are not clarified, particularly if one of the players is their partner. I know that it is to be expected but I had bad experiences in the case of blatant favoritism.

I’m a huge fan of Blades in the Dark, and I can see that there are a couple of cyberpunk hacks out there. But has anyone ran a FitD campaign in the cyberpunk 2077/2020 world? If so, what would be the best system to fit into that setting without too much modification? (So, ideally no magic, for example.)

I can't figure out what system I am going to run stonehell in, and I'm going to start the campaign in 3 weeks. Just completely blanking on the choice. Most of the players don't play ttrpgs very often. Do you have any recommendations?

My favorite osr system is cairn 2e, but I don't think it would be a good fit. I was thinking dcc, but this is supposed to be a fairly casual game so maybe not. Ose and shadowdark also seem like decent options... and theres SO many others. And maybe a non osr system would work? What do you think works best?

This had been asked a few times some years ago, but seeing as its been a little while, I figured I'd check out whether anything new that aligns well with the setting has come out that might be worth looking into.

I'm aware of the old fan d6 adaptations, as well as There Is No Spoon and I Know Kung FU.

Many of the more popular other suggestions were:

- Martial Arts oriented systems like Feng Shui and Wushu

- Systems that already have a kind of "multiple realities" concept in them, like Mage, Demon, The Veil, Unknown Armies, Lacuna, Over the Edge, Kult, PsiRun, even Nobilis and Amber which felt a bit off the power scale to me.

- Generic systems like FATE, SW, Cypher, GURPS, Champions

Curious if there are any other suggestions that come to mind, or more recent fan attempts that are worth looking into.
