I'll admit, as much as I love the crap out of this game I haven't really had much time to play it, although I plan to. I'm currently working on a light hack to use SotS to run late Victorian/Edwardian supernatural shenanigans. Maybe with some Mythos around the edges, but also taking into account...

So, gather round the fire and tell me your tales of systems that you love that treat armor as damage reduction rather than a modifier to hit. I'm spinning a tale of my own about how a relatively light OSR approach can run armor as damage reduction, but I find myself in need of some inspiration.

Vac Suits and Duct Tape is a game of Sci-Fi/Horror Exploration, Rooted in Trophy and Forged in the Dark. Play the blue collar crew of a Salvage ship and explore the detritus of millennia to find the tech you need to keep the lights on home. Try hard not to die horribly. Media touchstones include...

So I'm looking at DCC as my base for a Spelljammer hack (hereafter called Planejammer). This presents a difficulty as there are a bunch of classic SJ races that were never given the RaC treatment. I obviously still want to include them, but it's going to take some hacking. This is going to be...

My wife is out of town for, well, a while, so my boys and I are working on RPG stuff. Just for giggles we decided to do a little lets you and I fight stuff with 5E characters. Here's the plan, each player has a stable of three 6th level characters who take turns going 1 on 1 in a high...

I pre-ordered the starting bundle today, so I have all the PDFs, specifically in service of a PbP game being offered on another site, but I was going to buy it anyway. I'm just curious what other people are up to with the game now that at least the PDFs have dropped. Personally, I like the focus...

I just finished my first Trophy Hack, and I'm going throw the beta test PDF up here in the hopes of feedback and possibly even some playtesting. My hack is a blue-collar sci-fi horror take on the Trophy Dark rules. The mechanics are the same mostly, I just re-flavored in for genre tropes and...

Full disclosure, I already posted this elsewhere, but then I thought of all the fine gamers here and decided to double dip. I will commence with the double dipping.... now! So in the course of developing some material for a game, I found that historical myths and legends about Czernobog, The...

OK, this has been in the wind today, so I'm just going to see what ideas our illustrious posters have to add here. An ongoing project of mine is an OSR treatment that mashes up Spelljammer and Planescape. So take Sigil, add some Treasure Planet, and plop it into the midst of the Astral Sea (more...

I may need one more for an X Files MotW game run PbP. Might be rolling GMs if there's interest. Right now the touchstones are Undead Nazis and weird science, so XFiles meets the First Avenger I guess. I'm looking for someone who can post well and keep current. Extra points if you want to run the...

Mine's coming in the mail any day. So, who's playing it, what cool stuff have you done, what speed bumps have you encountered, what metal is your soundtrack? I'm currently making way through the host of great free content on their website. I just want to see what people are up to with it and...

Hey folks. Just checking to see what kind of interest there might be in doing something with Mork Borg in a Play by Post format. Ideally I'd people who are interested in both playing and running the game and we can shuffle through some short bits with a rotating GM chair, or possibly a core...

So, thanks to my munificent amounts of spare time, I'm going to undertake a BitD hack. Inspired by another hack for 80's Marvel Villains, I'm going to do a hack for the Batman mythos. The basic idea will be the same, gangs of villains running scores and dodging the long arm of the law in a...

I have no idea why I all of a sudden have a bee in my bonnet about building a Dirk Gently character for 5e, but I do. I have some ideas that I think will work but I'm having trouble picking from the various options as far as classes and potential MCs go. So I'm soliciting for ideas, no idea to...

I'd like to take a thread here to plumb the collective wisdom of EN World. I'm in the midst of writing an intrigue campaign, plus some rules overlays to help facilitate it, but before I get to far I'd like to see what some other folks have come up with for intrigue campaigns as far as builds...

I'm in the midst of writing up an intrigue heavy urban campaign. If you've read the Gentlemen Bastards by Scott Lynch, that's sort of what I'm aiming for. Combat will feature, as will chases, as will heists and a bunch of additional social interaction stuff that's going to need a rules overlay...

Before you ask, yes, I realize I'm not the first guy to ask this question...:cool: So I've been taking it on faith that unarmed strikes aren't melee weapons for skills and abilities that key off melee weapon attack because I read that everywhere, but having been over the PHB and DMG I can't...

I have a question for the group. Disguise Self allows the caster to change his appearance to "look different". This would seem to include all general humanoid possibilities based on the rest of the spell text, but I'm not sure about the scope for the spell to make you look like specific people...
