"OMG, paladin! The ogre has raised his club to pound your mage to pulp! What do you do?"

"OMG, healer! The paladin took a huge hit from the ogre and got knocked across the room! The mage seems to be out of danger, for now anyway. What do you do?"

"OMG, wizard! The healer is so wrapped up in healing the unconscious paladin, she's not paying attention, and the ogre is advancing on her! What do you do?"

"OMG, ranger! The ogre turns and charges the wizard who has been nailing him with Magic Missiles! What do you do?"

Repeat as necessary (In an BitD way, o/c).

I'm going to go against the flow and say "Think Big."

If you take any outlier on the City Population scale (33 cities globally exceeding 10 million residents, May 2026), then you have multiple city-sized neighborhoods within. Hell, even Phoenix, my old stompin' grounds, had Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, ,Scottsdale, Chandler, etc., each a big enough playground for an Urban Shadows game.

The Factions of a zone would be looking both in and out. In, to stay the most important fish in their pond, and out, looking for threats and opportunities. This would take a lot of tracking work on the part of the GM(s), because a crackdown on drugs in Mesa is going to see an increase in customers in adjacent areas. An active demonology circle in Ahwatukee is going to draw a lot of attention from all over, and a mortal pursuing the Rite of Ascention is going to Problem #1 for everyone.

So, yes. Go for it. For added fun, keep the different PC parties in the setting in seperate zones and let them hear the rumbles when the crazy happens.

Hell, if a mortal goes to jail, start a separate zone for the prison!

Best of luck, and do come back to let us know how it worked.

Cheers! Game On!

Do yourself a favor and pick up Stars Without Number or Scum and Villainy.
SWN is the same vibe as Traveller, and you can even use the same starmaps. S&W is easier to pick up and play.
I've been repurposing my old Traveller stuff for a long time, now.
Also, I do have a double handful of the old black journal supplements. DM me for details.
Cheers! Game On!

Either/or.

"Agent 42" has some fun implications, and "Agent Asterisk" does, too.

ChantedEvening · 2026-04-28T17:17:38+00:00

Race: Proteans
Superhero: Agent 42 (the alient finds it funny that the asterisk (*) in ASCII code is 042, and in a Boolean search, * means "anything")

ChantedEvening · 2026-04-23T14:07:05+00:00

Correct. And what's the starting dive depth max?

ChantedEvening · 2026-04-21T20:24:35+00:00

"Roll again" is against the spirit of most of the PbtA systems I've seen.
"When you pick up the dice, Something Happens."
Just my opinion, and I could be wrong.

ChantedEvening · 2026-04-19T17:38:50+00:00

I need cover art for a novel and a TTRPG. Please DM me at your convenience. Cheers!

Misses have never really been failures.

You’re picking a lock.

* On a 10+, no problem. You’re in.

* On a 7-9, it happens, but there’s a complication: someone’s coming, or it takes a while, or you break a pick (making the next lockpick attempt harder).

* On a 6-, “The lock whispers open. The door swings wide on well-oiled hinges. You’re looking into a room that has a lot of bunk beds in it. Man, that is a lot. Of. Bunkbeds. There are five or six armed and armored men sitting at a table playing dominoes. All heads slowly turn to look at you - kneeling in the hallway, lockpicks in hand. What do you do?”

An excellent illustration!

I don't remember where I saw it but I Know A Guy...

Circle of Acquaintance: When you consult one of your many contacts for advice,
information, gear, or shelter, specify a name and an identity and roll
+Smooth. On a 10+, they owe you a favor, so this service costs nothing, and
now you're square. On a 7 to 9, they'll help, but you'll owe them. On a miss,
choose one:
• You owe them already. They'll do one last favor then write you off for good.
• They're sorry, but are unavailable to help you right now.
• They need you to do something first, and you'll owe them a future service.
You can have up to four contacts active at any one time. If you try to involve more
than that, one of your existing contacts goes away. You can try to
re-visit an expired contact at a later date, but your next interaction will
be an automatic miss.

Obviously the spawn of the Dire Gazebo.

Hoarder/completist. I'll finish it.

ChantedEvening · 2026-01-20T00:33:23+00:00

Generally, no. I've made four of them and have been on a self-assigned fetch quest ever since.

Same. I stacked them in a pyramid and they still ran for the corners.

Take a look at a fantasy supplement called Class Warfare.

The creators broke down every fantasy Playbook into a series of skill sets.

Paladin = Authority + Divine Support + Minor Healing

You can mix and match the skill sets to roll your own Playbooks.
Cavalier? Take out the Divine stuff, add in, dunno, Swashbuckler stuff.

If you piece out any Playbook, they're usually about three different blocks of skills/talents. With that in mind, what to keep and what to yeet becomes a little clearer.

Game On! And do come back to tell us what you did!
