I saw a cool RPG on one of Egg's kickstarter round-ups a while ago, but now I can't find it or remember the name. Here's what I remember: It was a science-fiction RPG. It used a 1d20+add stuff core resolution mechanic, but wasn't d20 system (D&D-derived) It was a dark, post-collapse setting...

Any suggestions on how to do a detective build in 5E? Rogue optimised for Perception? Bard with Sage background? I'm just after some thoughts before I tinker around with my next build.

Here is some feedback from sessions 2 (Block Wars) and 3 (Outbreak) of Prison Planet. See links for story notes. Playtest comments from Session 2 and 3 of Prison Planet: System System feels very swingy to players, especially as dicepools increase. One player said it was fun building a...

Hi Morrus, One of my players got creative and let me know how he'd design N.E.W's career system! He's designed his own systems before and enjoys tinkering with systems and builds. I don't know how useful you'll find it as you're only supposed to point what isn't working during playtesting, as...

We've started our 'Prison Planet' mini-campaign to test N.E.W, and to give us a mental break before we finish up our high level 4E D&D campaign. A short session write-up is here. Below is the feedback I have from the character creation and short first session. GM comments: It was hard to...

These short, brusque notes are related our mini-campaign of N.E.W. set in the most infamous prison in the Empire! I held a movie marathon to get the players in the mood, which included Chronicles of Riddick, Alien 3 and Cube. System notes are here. In the first session, the players made up...

Is it possible to get regular updates or more information about the status of ENWorld's publishing projects? While the communication around OLD/NEW has been very good, I'm not sure what's happening with the 4E version of To Slay a Dragon. I'm also not sure what the publishing schedules are for...

We're planning a short playtest of N.E.W. in September, as a break from our D&D campaign. I was going to round up all the comments after September, but one player has made a character so far and given some feedback. I did an audit to check up on his build. Some of this might be of interest to...

Hi there, My players have made a bargain with primordial demon but intend to shaft it. They will open a portal to the demon's realm (as per the bargain) but intend to meet it with allies, armies as much firepower as their little 16 level selves can muster. Any suggestion for running a...

I read through the magic system in OLD. I first I thought it was a freeform magic system, a bit like Mage or Ars Magica, but it's really more a spell construction system. I did find some parts a bit unclear and would suggest some more examples in future drafts. Here are some thoughts I had...

Is it possible to have an optional XP system that doesn't have the tiers and the increasing die types? For example, I am interested in a more skills-based game, where characters just get points to get more skills/careers. And I enjoyed the earlier draft because everything used d6. I like the...

Hi Morrus, I have looked at the OLD and NEW drafts and find them promising, as I have been after a simple, skill-based RPG with good tactical combat, so well done. (As an aside, is it worth crunching the stat scale down from 1 to 5, reflecting the actual dice pool rather than having a rank...

Last year I took a punt on subscribing to the 'Adventure Games Journal', a small press magazine about the Wilderlands, using C&C as the core system. My pack was about three months late, but hopefully I get a regular run from here on. I wasn't sure what the overall standard of the stuff would be...
