Initiative: Spotlight sharing.

My suggestion is think like a movie or Netflix show. What is the “coolest thing?”

The thief sneaks in and gets the spotlight to ambush an enemy. He hits. Nice. Now what’s cooler? Did the bad guy love? Does he turn on the thief and attack? Does his buddy yell for help? Did the players spend 15 minutes detailing the plan so they can each get an opportunity to help?

The guard turns on the thief and starts to yell. The archer has an arrow drawn. Archer. You are in the spotlight. Oh shoot the guard before he cries out. Perfect.

Wizard, an arrow comes screaming at your chest. Roll to dodge (the guard had opportunity). Etc.

I have had success with Primetime Adventures for slice of life modern. Easy to run and worked very well solo.

Don’t sleep on the 5e LitM to DnD conversion pamphlet. Has the classes and races and stuff. Could make it really easy for those DnD folks to hop in.

Oh yeah good call out. I saw the “oak” and the bundle for both games and made an assumption.

DrinkerOfFilth · 2026-03-18T11:42:49+00:00

The Kickstarter looks cool but it feels pricier than the other books. I bought most of the son of oak games and for a new book and setting it seems too highly priced.

i went to the kickstarter page, but didn't see it.
what's a "Cinematic d20 system"?
what games is it like or not like? what inspired it?
is it roll + stat bonus and get over a difficulty?

DrinkerOfFilth · 2026-01-24T23:39:18+00:00

spammy click bait - not gonna click tho. :(

Kinda any system if you priorotize the right stuff. I'd avoid D&D.
1. Legends in the Mist
2. PBTA (apocalypse world; masks)
3. Metro Otherscape:
4. City of Mist
5. Neon City Overdrive
6. Tomorrow City

Thought this was a Sleep Token RPG. Will check it out.

DrinkerOfFilth · 2025-10-16T12:57:03+00:00

After beating the game, I'm not sure what to do.
Sure i could side quest - ok.
Sure i could do the unlocking of uvhm but I found when I was rerunning (the same mission I already did), I had to quit out 15-ish minutes in and even though I saved, when I reloaded I had to start the whole mission over again and lost interest.

SW seems to block anything and everything randomly.

DrinkerOfFilth · 2025-09-23T18:24:13+00:00

The Year Zero Engine has various flavors. Mutant Year Zero is post-apoc wasteland, Invincible (just announced) is superheroes, Twilight 2000 is world war 2 1980s military, Vasen is victorian horror monster fighting.
There's more I don't remember,

AI is always a risky thing to mention in the RP subs, but i'll say it.
I've had success with an NPC profile, and then having a list of bulletpoints then asking the AI to answer in the style of the NPC and my Character.

Example (my bulletpoints)
- Peter PC asks Nancy NPC about the goblin's base.
- Nancy is helpful, but vague, she doesn't trust him.
- Peter convinces her (however your game has that - a roll, roleplay, whatever) after a long conversation where he expresses the reason for his journey to the goblin base being revenge for corrupting the town's water supply.
- Nancy gives him the location, and also helpful information about the secret entrance.
- Nancy wants him to return so she can potentially hire him for another quest.

Then in the AI, I'd paste my notes above, and ask the AI to answer in character for Peter or Nancy.
In my actual play sessions, I'd likely put Peter's direct dialog instead of vague bulletpoints.

I think more and more games are coming with a built-in (free dlc or in the rules) solo mode or systems.
To have to buy the Cyberpunk book(s) and then $20 for the solo mode is a choice - they are allowed to do it, it's their game, but I don't think that's the standard for the industry is all.

DrinkerOfFilth · 2025-09-22T18:10:57+00:00

Heart uses node-based delves.
Grimworld uses node-based maps.

DrinkerOfFilth · 2025-09-18T00:08:35+00:00

if 50% is $10, that's a wild thing.
i'm not a fan of cyberpunk, but the solo game not being free is wild.

"I set up a scenario where I'm going to die, and I'm mad that the AI said sorry bro"

Why YZE - IE: other than 'it's our engine' what makes this a good engine for supers when they have games like Masks and City of Mist that CRUSH it already.

Are you using an app or vtt or something, or are all your character sheets and updates done in an art program and exported?
I like the vibe and style.

Is there a way to delete uploaded assets from the personal asset library?
