Main issue is the extra GM workload, which is why I like the GM never roll trend, one less stuff to do means more time to focus on GMing

with randos off Discord or Roll20 and not actually in person with people they know.
I know online rpg changed a lot in 20 years, but when I was playing online around 2010, playing on teamspeak, also meant be part of community, and ask others GM about new players before having them joining your table (No show, cheating and other bad behaviour would quickly be known by everyone) . Moreover, because you don’t know them, it’s easy to kick them out.

10·1 year agoRemind me that larp when my character ended-up being an Eunuch. Use it as a resistance against a mass orgasm spel, that was a hilarious moment, and didn’t changed much the outcome

6·1 year agoActually, it sounds like a great design choice, D&D has been way more focused on combat than regular rpg, and has never been the proper choice for roleplay, politics, horror, investigation story.
It seems that at least 4th edition was doing combat right
Gender-swapping has been a common theme in fictions/legend for as long as we had these. And my hot-take is that RPG didn’t started to attract LGBT player in the last decade, but society didn’t let these player be open with themselves before the last decade, and that some of these players who in the 80’s/90’s/00’s used gender swapping as a theme in their stories would actually come-out/transition if they were 20-30-40 years longer.

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Pretty sure this is happening in my game
65·1 year agoHaving the traitor in the party, has a binary result, it’es either one of the best campaign you’ll play, or a horror story, no middle ground
Is there any rpg where you need to do so? May be Fatal?
Math? I don’t think that rpg talks about computing an integral or spending 2h arguing on whether we’re on a Hilbert space and can compute a scalar product.
I am curious where this drop and run source comes from.
Typically, they’re sealed in a shielded box, where you can open a small windows that the gamma say can escape and are used for field radiography when inspecting bridge/pipeline solder. Definitely not a drop and run thing

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Ah that's whats going on
11·1 year agoFixed dates + overbopking fix most scheduling issues, if you play the first Friday each month or every second Thursday, and have a 6 PC team but play if at least 3 show up, you suddenly solved most scheduling issues
At least they have a reason to work together, but would require the proper player pair to neither fall in PvP nor ignore that backstory detail
Technically, intimidating is a legit alternative to stealth. Hey if you tell anyone we’re here, you are dead it’s basically depending on te party playstyle
Stealth is where I started using BitD style clock long before BitD was published. Stacking failure on stealth roll and increasing the alarm level works better than waiting for the first player to fail
I remember being part of TPK with almost the same. The only difference was Shadowrun rather than heroic fantasy
Mekton : The pilot is in a love triangle with a pop star
Cole gears just a rolling frame, but hear my word

2·1 year agoI like the idea of fantastic race, especially the one living multiple century having a more magic way of reproduction.

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races?
192·1 year agoCan you give some context?
But saying that Orc and Drow are biologically evil feel like good old racism. The whole Drow let’s take a nice race and make an evil dark-skinned version of them way more problematic than the Drow is blackface debate
With the marvel of modern engineering, they do pretty compact wings able to carry 80kg humans, https://youtu.be/ilx8Ch0eOR4 (Sorry for sharing marketing video)
So in a fantasy world, you could imagine so compact wing part of human body
French rpg bloodlust is famous for God Weapon having their own urges but not being able to indulge them without a human bearing the weapon.
Leading to the poor human getting some power based on what the weaponk let them do, while having a weapon begging them to indulge in violence, lust or any other awful sin.
Having a player having the weapon and another one the bearer open the road to pretty interesting roleplay
