I know Stars Without Number came first, but I figured that with the context of fantasy games Worlds Without Number made sense to talk about first. Once I brought up Worlds Without Number I felt that Stars Without Number should be mentioned too
idc what anyone says, Blades in the Dark is not a PbtA game. It has like 2 things in common with PbtA systems
Also PbtA systems are great for a story focused games, but they're not exactly tactical and characters tend to be a little static. They focus on story pretty much to the exclusion of everything else. If you want story though go for it, they're great. I prefer more of a balance personally.
Worlds Without Number focuses on sandbox play and strikes a nice balance with story and combat. Stars Without Number is basically the Sci-fi version. Both are free with premium versions that have a bit of nice optional content, like more powerful options for heroic characters and Star Wars style space magic
Aladdin should also probably have at least 3 rogue levels
Why would we change it though? We'd need to change way too much in order to do that. Just because the system started with fingers, doesn't mean fingers is where it is now
I need to test this
Fuck, shit, ass, removed. Let's see which words get removed if any
The Fertility and Health words can be surprisingly nasty in Godbound. Fertility comes with an end the bloodline ability and a cancer beam, and health comes with diseases and involuntary resurrection. Scary shit for such friendly sounding powers
That top guy seems like a strong candidate
I don't really mind the non-replacable batteries tbh. Water resistance is much harder when you need to design your phone with a removable battery.
I do want the SD card slots back though. I don't care about having two Sim cards, I want my enormous local storage that I can transfer in 8-10 seconds back
Sure, but the last Futurama reboot was a long time ago. I can't think of too many good reboots that have come out since
Fair, but there hasn't been a decent reboot of anything in forever.
So I'm going in with no expectations to avoid disappointment. If it's good I'll be happy, if it's bad I won't be surprised
The Survive This! Games are pretty good. What Shadows Hide is the urban fantasy book, but you can get a similar effect by mixing some of those games together for a higher power level. Survive This! Zombies has modern weapons and Survive This! Fantasy has magic and monsters
BESM is a similar concept to GURPS, but on an anime scale. Crazy powers are pretty much expected, so magic users are more doable than GURPS. It's also not too hard to make a powerful character that's not a magic user. It's also not too heavy on rules
Dark Streets and Darker Secrets is great for a grittier, more dangerous game. Players need to be pretty careful, but it definitely does dark urban fantasy reasonably well
I like point crawls for this. I mark a few points of interest and how long it takes to get there. Travel is fairly abstract until they get to a point of interest. Once they get to the point of interest, things slow down so that they can find cool things, meet npcs, fight monsters or some combination of those things
If the area is hard to navigate then a failed survival check might send them to a different point of interest
What I wanna know is how Kirby has more lore than My Little Pony. He's a blob with a one-word vocabulary.
He's got a surprising amount of lore attached. He's also canonically way more powerful than you'd expect
The bony boys on their way home from a party
Yes. It's a pain in the ass though since the pirated versions run at nearly twice the frame rate sometimes
I was onboard until I found out that I can't name my pastamancer Fetuccini Alfredo
Missed opportunity to call it a halbird

5e is weirdly stingy with ASIs and feats. It is kinda weird
