Ah yeah that is one with loads of minis right? I’d love to play both one day but it was ever thus…

Site seems down at the moment… I’ve never played either game but I do love some of the source material… Macross Plus a particular favourite, and Evangelion of course… Is that what these games are about?

Thanks for posting these

Your concept sounds extremely fun (for the right group of course!), and a really good fit for Blades in the Dark as the system (I think the system itself is called Forged in the Dark)

I’ve been reading up on some of these and starting to go back through previous years.

One concept I’ve been thinking about is something i think I heard Jared Logan mention (Stream of Blood, Glass Cannon GM). It was running combat as 3, 2, done. Ie only ever three rounds of “what do you do” and then the overall outcome is adjudicated which is a cool idea. Obviously not for games like pathfinder etc where combat is largely the point of it all, but i have less and less interest in running those kind of games.

It’s social interactions and puzzle solving ideally for me! Or extremely lethal stuff like Mork Borg where speedy combat is somewhat built in

That’s brilliant. Must have been a great moment!

Oof man, same on BitD, I read the book ages ago and loved the Haunted City actual play. Haven’t run it yet but maybe this year.

I’ve also just finished reading the delta green campaign Impossible Landscapes, as I was waiting for the Glass Cannon play through to finish up. I’ve run a fair few one shots of DG but hoping to find a group I can run this campaign for next year.

Otherwise I might run some more death in space which is kinda like Mörk Borg but sci fi. Great for a one shot

Sick set of dice, I’m on the lookout for getting a new basic set that has that modern d4 design…

What are you using those d30 for?

I’ve not yet played but I’m hoping to give it a go next year at some point

Been mainly playing Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu, Death in Space/Mork Borg and a smattering of DnD this year

Love this. Realistically would crop up about once per year?

When planning a session, I like to jot down a few key events that will need rolls that are likely to come up. In call of cthulhu or delta green this will be sanity check roll events as I want to make sure these actually happen!

But regardless of the system, for one shots I definitely plan ‘beats’ as it’s annoying to run out of time to conclude whatever’s going on.

I try to keep NPC details light so they’re adaptable. The important stuff is stats and skills, the rest you can improvise

Yes totally, it’s like this in full book form and uses the mork Borg basic system

Thanks for sharing! Downloaded Have you played Death in Space at all?

Well that’s what it’s all about!

Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t heard of the game system before, how do you like it? What other game systems did you consider?

There are two YouTubes. One is the “creator” YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I’d no longer need YouTube

The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that’s the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube’s lunch

Played it once via one shot. So I don’t know how a campaign would work but I enjoyed the system and it seems good. Stress dice are fun, you end up rolling shit loads of dice at various points, and the buddy/nemesis system is cool

It’s cool!

Yep seems to be gone! There is https://sh.itjust.works/c/ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Death in Space is essentially Mörk Borg in space so has enough room for you to decide how hard you like your sci fi

From my limited investigations, I think the modern version from Mongoose is the one to go with

The character generation system is amazing but from my POV its a bit Star Trek instead of Star Wars or the expanse, if that makes sense?

My only experience of it is listening to bits of it on the Glass Cannon so I may have a skewed perspective
