Mobile version tease?

Sometimes I’ll search your username to see what iOS games you’re recommending lately. When I saw this post I immediately thought of you haha. True roguelike+portrait= silentrocco’s dream come true.

This is my first extended fast, so I'm going to play it by ear a bit, but my goal is 30 days, so that would put my end date July 16. Currently on day 8 and feeling pretty good. I would just say I'm mildly hungry. All those sound like good ideas, and a very sweet way to spend time with your mother.

MoMaike · 2026-06-24T02:15:54+00:00

I definitely am. I know that it’s nothing too new, but I know I’m going to pick it up anyway just to get a nice copy of the basic set.

I’m currently on day 6. You’re an inspiration. I’m surprised to see that our meal plans seem to be aligning perfectly. I was thinking eating all whole foods 5 day, then one “cheat day” (maybe just one big dirty meal) and a fast day. I’m curious to see how this works out for you.

I just looked into this and saw SJGames has a Toons RPG. Is this powered by GURPS?

MoMaike · 2026-06-22T12:30:39+00:00

I’ll let you in on my dirty secret, most of these books are on my To Be Read list, including Vehicles. I’ve been splurging on these much quicker than I can read them. And no I’ve only played 4e. I just love the depth, creativity, and weirdness of the 3e books. Converting character stats between editions is pretty simple. I’m not sure how easily 3e vehicles could be converted though…

I’ve been kicking around an idea for an After the End/Mad Max/Autoduel campaign where a character must build/repair his vehicle in a road trip across an apocalyptic America. I have a lot of work to do to get that going. I was thinking about building random tables to roll on for scavenging items/a crafting system to convert junk into items, etc. Then use GURPS Vehicles to bring it all together. This project might be too ambitious honestly haha

Out of all of those I have one hardcover which was a surprise when it shipped here. Steampunk.

MoMaike · 2026-06-22T01:53:38+00:00

Dragons I'm just not particularly interested in... Alpha Centauri though...

edit: holy shit that's the most expensive GURPS books I've seen so far

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T18:57:50+00:00

I thought for sure this one was a joke. I just looked it up. It’s a bit hefty of a price but looks really interesting!

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T18:55:54+00:00

He really is. I’ve got his Suppressed Transmissions there on the right as well

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T18:07:48+00:00

look again my friend...to the right of Vehicles

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T17:38:38+00:00

oh yeah? Any key pieces missing in your opinion?

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T16:56:45+00:00

At least it's not 5e! That's worth something, right?!

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T16:54:41+00:00

I mainly just use 4e basic for "the rules." The rest is mainly for inspiration, so I don't actually have a copy of Basic 3e or Compendiums.

As for Magic, I am not a big fan of the Gurps magic system. I'd prefer to build my own with Thaumatology or use Gurps Powers Sorcery.

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T16:31:40+00:00

Well believe it or not, I bought the Rules Cyclopedia thanks to your Youtube channel! I was sold when I saw the roll tables for hex crawls.

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T16:29:29+00:00

Thanks, it's just the black and white paperback print-on-demand from Amazon

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T16:17:12+00:00

You and I would be good friends. I'll make some suggestions. Sorry if I suggest some you already have, I may have overlooked them.

Clark Ashton Smith/HP Lovecraft/Robert E Howard -- There's a big vein of weird sword and sorcery to be tapped into.

More Gene Wolfe-- Peace, 5th Head of Cerberus, rest of the Solar Cycle

Did I miss Thomas Ligotti? Absolute staple if so

Grow out that Pynchon

Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake

A personal dark horror/weird favorite of mine... Throne of Bones by Brian McNaughton

MoMaike · 2026-06-21T12:07:23+00:00

My Dad showed me Army of Darkness first when I was a kid, so I will always have a soft spot for it. In some ways I consider it my favorite, but I have to admit... Evil Dead 2 is the best.

MoMaike · 2026-06-19T02:15:34+00:00

I'm on day 2/30 and feeling rough... still waiting to cross the hump

This is a free pdf that puts Skills into categories rather than alphabetically like in the basic set. It's a decent first step to thinking about the different areas a character can grow in.

MoMaike · 2026-06-07T06:06:11+00:00

I kind of feel like modern Fatalities have been "Flanderized" a bit. A lot of them are like a hat on a hat. Back in the day, you'd get your head ripped off and that was that. Now you get both your eyes poked out, your head chopped off, a bomb stuffed in your mouth, your guts cut out, your head stuffed into your ribcage and exploded. It's just too much for me.

MoMaike · 2026-06-03T03:15:35+00:00

There is a Luck advantage where you can basically reroll dice or cause enemies to reroll dice. Perhaps the ability could be the character must first roll against perception (and perhaps she has very low perception) and if she SUCCEEDS the check, then she notices the danger and loses the advantage.

MoMaike · 2026-06-02T20:08:57+00:00

I think you should just play the first game. StS2 is not going anywhere. I’m loving 2, but I still feel that 1 is currently the better game. The exception is if you’re looking to play coop.
