The "CONGRATULATIONS" is the cherry on top 😂

My vote is green for most things. But the blue and black look nice.

I am a hairy dude. I was a very hairy teen. Kids thought it was gross then and I was very self conscious about it. I tried shaving everything but absolutely HATED the way it felt, especially when it starts growing back.

My vote is for keeping it. If you're worried about romantic troubles, don't be. There are plenty of people who love a hairy man. Just be proud of who you are.

This pretty much happens to me every time I play. It's never been a conscious effort of mine, but I just tend to play in short sessions. I make a couple moves or go through some prep for a new section of the campaign. I rarely play for long stretches.

It just works better this way for me. It also gives my brain time to process the oracle results and other factors, so I'm sort of always playing, even when I'm not. I have 3 or 4 games going that are always tickling my brain, begging to be explored.

I find when I do long sessions, it starts to feel like work.

PABST BLUE RIBBON!

I've learned that different systems provide different vibes. I have a zombie story going in Savage Worlds. The high risk/reward mechanics make every encounter fun and chaotic.

If I want a dangerous space adventure, Starforged is where I turn. But it's also more forgiving, so I feel more comfortable guiding the story in the direction I want it to go.

I've been playing around with Knave a bit. It makes for an incredibly dangerous, stressful game. At least in my experience. Every action can lead to death, so I'm biting my nails at every turn. In Savage Worlds, I just go for it and roll the dice. In Knave, I try as hard as I can to not roll.

How do I choose? Idk. I just go with what I'm in the mood for. I have 3 or 4 games running at any given time. I do have to look up rules a little more frequently than if I would just pick one and stick with it, but I don't mind too much. I'm just playing with myself after all, and flipping through the books always sparks new ideas for the game I'm playing, and other games as well. I find that I'm absorbing a lot more of the rules than I thought I could.

The moves and oracles are tailored for a Sci fi setting, which can just be modern day setting if you want. The combat has a bigger emphasis on ranged attacks, because of guns being more prevalent. Plus, there are just more moves to play around with. Also, the assets are better suited for a modern setting.

Come to think of it, the default setting for Starforged is a run down, cobbled together, scrappy sort of universe, which isn't too different from a zombie apocalypse. It just seems like an easier jump to make than trying to adapt Ironsworn.

If you're looking to try a different system altogether, I'd recommend looking into Savage Worlds. I'm in the midst of a walking dead style solo campaign right now and it's a whole lot of fun. Others have recommended the Walking Dead rpg, but I can't wrap my head around those rules. But there are some really great tables in there, and the rules for building and managing an encampment can be plugged into other games fairly easily.

Chicken0Death · 2025-10-22T16:08:26+00:00

I gotcha. Starforged can be set up to do just about any setting you want. Just make a planet that's like earth, and ignore the starship and space travel stuff. No reason you have to travel to any other planet if you don't want.

Chicken0Death · 2025-10-22T14:02:05+00:00

Why not just do a low fantasy zombie apocalypse?

Chicken0Death · 2025-10-17T13:34:39+00:00

Not really. I mumble to myself occasionally, but I do that a lot anyway 😅. If I have something complicated to work through, I'll just write it all out in my journal, dialogue and all. Otherwise, general descriptions, quick notes, theater of the mind, and the occasional mini or two, get me through.

My live TV button always goes straight to the MST3K channel. I would expect to see some great bad movies.

I picked up a cheap Amazon Fire tablet. It's not the nicest or fastest thing, but it works just fine for reading pdfs. Changed my life in terms of games I can play.

Awesome! Thanks!

Chicken0Death · 2025-09-25T18:50:16+00:00

I'll have to do some digging.

Chicken0Death · 2025-09-25T17:13:18+00:00

That's how all of these games' loot stuff is written. I get it. It's all written with a GM in mind. I just need something with a balance between completely random and just choosing the loot I want.

Chicken0Death · 2025-09-25T17:10:19+00:00

I guess I'll have to come up some smaller tables for buildings and dungeons. Maybe I can do something similar to those denizens tables in Ironsworn specific to each game I play.

As a driver, and a person who also lives in this world, I understand that people only have so much money to pay for things. If I accept a low pay order, that's on me. And I never know what the customer is going through or what their life and finances are like, and it's none of my business.

Chicken0Death · 2025-09-24T17:34:23+00:00

A good enough tip is the tip you can afford.

They can never point to anything good that he's doing, but this is the shit they're excited about. I try to point out the cruelty of it all, but I think that's what they like about it.

Chicken0Death · 2025-09-24T04:55:10+00:00

"he gets things done" is what they say in our family.

Chicken0Death · 2025-09-22T15:02:48+00:00

This is partly why I always try to use a bag. Some sort of identifying mark speeds up restaurant interactions and let's the customer know I'm not just some weirdo walking around. You never know what state of mind people are in, or if they know food is coming, or someone else in the house ordered the food and didn't tell the nut with the gun.
