"d-list rebels" is such a good burn
it's always good when a producer has to yell something like "SO ABOUT THE GAME YOU'RE ALL PLAYING AS PART OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL JOB" when it goes too far off the rails

my dice absolutely know the genre of the games i'm playing

mythras: "yeah sure you intercept that guy in the tavern and clock him in the head with a tankard, no problemo"

delta green: "no, actually your graduate degree in computer science means you don't know what a keyboard is"

mister mittens is a grumpy old white cat but the cat emoji i used is an orange cat so i imagine him as an orange tabby

gaslit myself

wait mongoose released a new campaign thing? every publisher notifies me when shit comes out, like a dozen times per thing

mongoose just like "haha yeah whatever man"

whenever cyberpunk red gets a new free dlc update they and dtr both email me like 3 times each
this post is for an audience of like 3 people max but mixing mass effect with star wars in traveller was a Good Idea TM

i would add that my only mild regret is that i set the star wars universe in-game date to about 4000 years bby so i don't have krogan charging entire stormtrooper barracks or some shit

but i got sith and mandalorians out the ass, so

there's some real opportunity for some yuuzhan vong and reaper fuckery but let's see how it plays out

can you believe going back in time and being like "ahhh, the first jedi purge"

the jedi: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FIRST"

"You get one success for every 2 or 4 rolled and two successes for every 6 rolled."

what the fuck lol

i really do like the idea of an immune/immortal/lucky guy who doesn't have any other skulls but they're like "okay, just go in and disarm the bio-bomb"
imagine if you had mind control but only to win party games

not sure how much i like resolve in prowlers and paragons

also i need every point buy system to stop doing the colorblind gurps thing it's weird

it does seem to have a good spread of low/high tier play with their point buy system and just rolling dice pools of whatever trait, as opposed to other less bound systems that have you add a characteristic + a skill design

also appreciate how even though it's emulating high powered supers it nods at heroes being able to die and it's not hard to weld on top of

i like that luring is a specific combat mechanic. very cartoon/comic book to get the big bad bruiser to hit the explosive barrel behind you, spider-man style
i will say, though, that their character sheets are a pita to condense down for multiple pcs on the bottom of a page

lower tiers because it's too strong: ❌

lower tiers so you don't have to roll as many dice: βœ…

protip for people who make tables for rpgs

number them even if you don't intend for people to roll on them, because someone will probably want to roll on them

i feel like a push mechanic in prowlers and paragons would work better than resolve, although they leverage resolve all over in their flaws and stuff
professional marketing
when your super hero game gets ethically muddy because your pc with the duplication power has to worry if her duplicate has sapience or not
ngl having fun with me extremely janky, prone to absolute failure iron man suit

me, watching some star trek rpg thing: "this must be what it's like when non-star wars people watch star wars"
risk-taker bums: playing his original twilight 2k campaign before operation reset releases because it keeps getting delayed
i should just start a new campaign

i really want a traveller lifepath system for it

wonder if i could roll traveller characters then just convert them to t2k after πŸ€”

or that time i rolled a delta green/t2k and discovered that t2k style random artillery bombardments with delta green style artillery lethality was no bueno
i do wanna say that "war were declared" is a much more in-setting cool way stop to lifepath chargen than traveller style ageing or "please stop you're already royalty"
getting ambushed by apcs and tanks is always a Bad Time
let the masturbation begin lol lmao

obviously everyone talking about fifa online rn plays soccer real goodest
losing a cuf a pc hurts it burnsssss

the funniest thing about a pc x5 encounter is when they assume "ahhhh they probably only have like 4 pcs"

and you (had) 9

dying to death saves? what is this, dnd???

i dunno why i've never played outgunned

seems right up my alley, really

@worthlessbums Whartson Hall just did it - @RogerBW prob. has thoughts & feelings.

I hadn't heard of it before they did.

@DarkestKale @worthlessbums Yeah, probably the most comprehensive version is in this month's IRTD podcast at https://tekeli.li/podcast/archive/2026/At_Least_They_re_From_the_Same_Planet_Originally.html but the quick summary is that it's a very fuzzy system, it's all about the action style and not at all about hard numbers, which is a thing worth knowing up front. Also it's really optimised for short form play: what they call "a campaign", which is the expected play life of a character, I call "about four or five sessions". If you have other questions I'll be happy to answer them.
