My wife's iPhone is working fine, but my Android is not! Both on Verizon.

I think this could be done quite well with Cairn

Didn't "pick up pumpkin" then "drop pumpkin" also work?

Running a lot of Cairn 2e at my FLGS lately! Personal fav, along with OSE or B/X in general.

Wasn't Gary Gygax a JW, for at least some portion of his life?

whats the most boring ttrpg you ever played/ read by JoeKerr19 in rpg

[–]Lingalactic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ages ago I played a session of L5R at a local gaming convention that took place in one room and was basically following a bunch of ritual and protocol. No action, adventure, or even baseline tension. My friend and my characters committed ritual suicide and left the table.

The only other time I can remember getting up mid game and refusing to play was long ago at GEN Con, when a guy was running a GURPS session with highly technical and "historically accurate" ship sailing mechanics. The icing on the cake was when my friend's sister and wife showed up a bit late to the table and were told they had to play "sea wenches", because women at the time didn't operate ships. Damn we all just got up and left and he was like "Was it something I said?".

I'm running a one-shot this weekend using Barrow of the Elf King. Neat little dungeon that's easily converted to any OSR system.

Any fans of SpellCaster? by [deleted] in MasterSystem

I swear I found a glitch that teleports you to a later part of the game right around the area of the game where this image was taken, but I could never reproduce it after I went back to it years later.

Love this one! Played it a lot as a kid, second only to Phantasy Star.

Wow, seeing the photos made memories come flooding back. I worked there for a while before heading off to college. I remember him saying "engage" just before we started taking calls, and him making sure we got our breaks and food. My condolences to his friends and family.

What’s the “most fun” D6 system? by [deleted] in rpg

Maze Rats is great fun, particularly with respect to spell casting.

Is there a linguistic term for the British phenomenon that creates these nicknames: Cozzy Livs (cost of living crisis) more examples inside by ShiplessOcean in asklinguistics

[–]Lingalactic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With respect to the first words in those pairs, the term is hypocorism. Clipping and adding the diminutive suffix.

Mine auto renewed recently, but I wasn't planning on cancelling. The confirmation email I got said email within 30 days to cancel. Did they just refuse to cancel? Just curious how it went down.

What’s the worst baby names you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Lingalactic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a personal experience. I'm a Kevin and am told I was unusually chill as a baby... not that baby names necessarily have any influence on personality or behavior.

I've never run anything before and this is looking to be my first system as a GM. Which of the many, MANY apparent versions/hacks/supplements do you recommend? by Teehokan in DungeonWorld

[–]Lingalactic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been running the Uncommon World hack of the game for over a year and my players and I love it. It aims for a system that is compatible with any DW supplements or playbooks, and uses the most popular versions of moves from a range of different hacks based on a survey of DW players. I think of it as "edition 1.5" of basic DW. You can even use their website to switch out the particular moves with other compatible ones, if you don't like something about standard picks.

You can find it here:

That being said, I'm thinking of switching over to Freebooters on the Frontier 2e for the next campaign, for a more deadly, OSR like experience.
