@cyancqueak @Tregenza Another #TTRPG of fire-fighting may be of interest (if not seen already): "Fight Fire" in Fate Worlds Vol 1 for #FateRPG (by @jmstar and Leonard Balsera). It has custom skill list for fire-fighting - & consequences suffered by PCs (different from Fate Core) *never go away*
Also #Dramasystem supplement "Blood on the Snow" has short setting "Fire in the Heartland" of small-town Volunteer Fire Department (less fire-fighting mechanics, more interpersonal drama) by @GregStolze
#ttrpg Fantastic birthday ttrpg road trip yesterday from West Michigan to NW Chicago suburbs for a trip to Games Plus in Mt. Prospect and the perfect Guatemalan restaurant and tienda.
Found a hard copy of #Hillfolk for its #dramasystem ruleset.
Caught up with #onering Middle Earth books including the new Moria tome.
Grabbed a basic #mothership scenario in advance of my deluxe kit arrival.
Grabbed Chicagoland's own Amanda Lee Franck's 'You Got a Job on the Garbage Barge' #indiettrpg &

@Jwmuk The concept of "Paged" (literary characters escape the books in the British Library and become flatmates in North London) caught my imagination when I saw it in #Dramasystem supplement #BloodOnTheSnow. (Enjoying both #JasperFforde's #ThursdayNext books and Simon Pegg / Jessica Stevenson London-flat-share sitcom "Spaced" probably helps!) It's an idea I've since had ticking away to use (maybe with "British children's literature" spin) one day...
So sad I can't join this at Pelicon!
Our #TTRPG group tried #Hillfolk tonight, using the #UnderHollowHills setting.
Not sure we can recommend it to folks. We all really enjoyed the characters we created and were having fun playin them, but the #DramaSystem mechanics left most of us cold. We tried to make it work, but I think it was a failed experiment. Too much focus on pushing story forward and a resolution system that was unnecessarily convoluted.
It needed one person pushing a story forward instead of us taking turns crafting a scene and trying to create drama. It felt artificial and forced.
As a thought exercise it might be interesting, but it wasn't the right system for our group.
