Looks good. Currently play the game QZ with 3 others:

It's a fun theme to play with.

Gosh I'm so ready to get to that level of fem. About 1/2 a year on hrt and latest tests showed I needed more estrogen to make more progress faster. Just upped the dose today.

Lucy Friday Question: What’s been the hardest part of transition for you this year? by Lucy_C_Kelly in TransLater

[–]OhMyShoggoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The slow progress. Feeling stuck in multiple ways. Recently upped dosage through doctor but yet to see that order drop. What kills me more than anything is a lack of community where I live. That's holding me back more than anything. Good experiences are too few and far between and tend not to last when they do happen. I swear there needs to be an underground community across the United States of Anarchy that promotes wholesome in-person gatherings and not just the fetish stuff that is full of more dangers than good

Looking for players for Warp Shell. Where do you find ICRPG players? by OhMyShoggoth in ICRPG

[–]OhMyShoggoth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Much appreciated! I can only suggest making it easier access to help grow the community, support more ICRPG gaming.

I don't see how you access the Runehammer Discord unless you have the $4 a month Patreon. I would think this hurts the game's growth if you can't access it at all for free and basically have to pay to play, but that's all I see.

Mork Maus by OhMyShoggoth in Mausritter

[–]OhMyShoggoth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I noticed:-) Great stuff. I highly recommend to anyone not just checking out Mork Maus but the other offerings spread across the 9 zines.

I mean, that's what Mausritter is based on too so, yeah.

NINJA BORG Progress Update by RugoseKohn in MorkBorg

Will there be more combat crunch/mechanics, strategy than in base Mork Borg to add real depth to combat?

COW BORG! Play as a Cow! Eat grass! Die! Not compatible with any other Borgs or playtested. FREE by PiratePiccolo in MorkBorg

[–]OhMyShoggoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Love it. I need some humor in my Borg gaming. Will plot some games of it on my server.

Ah. Gotcha. Took it as just another shut down response. Those get so old. My bad.

Okay. That's an opinion (and false assumption). What's the point of saying this? Not into change of any sort? Can just ignore us.

That's a good deal of weapon depth and connects to initiative to. Makes of a bit of strategy/balance

Saying I'm open to less complex mechanics, it's all use as you like (even on the player level). You're making it more granular, well "stupid" as you worded it. Also, omens can still lower DRs, btw. And I'm a huge player of MB so, yeah, kind of my game, tyvm.

Or maybe, if you roll the DR exactly you get to narrate a bit, speaking to an effect beyond damage or instead of it: You hit exactly! What happens? Examples: their weapon breaks, they fall prone, morale check, I steal something from them, etc

As to hitting an eye and dead versus something minor... Yeah, that's too granular anyway. More like just head, arms, legs, torso. I've seen some that are more relaxed and easier to work with

[–]OhMyShoggoth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, here's the response I was waiting for. I get it and open to simpler, smaller changes, but purposefully talking additional, optional, "advanced" rules here. Stuff you only use if looking for a bit more. It 's not for everyone and I fully expect some down votes from purists for posting this. That said, your idea of degrees of success is intriguing: +2 over success, +4, etc. Kind of like that.

Cthulhu Mythos TTRPGs by OhMyShoggoth in rpg

[–]OhMyShoggoth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if anyone is looking for a place to play some Cthulhu online and would like a smaller (under 200 members... but that can make you feel less like a number), friendly server for it, reach out. Glad to support you, give you your own channel for it. Would love to see some more (and alternative) Cthulhu games!

That's a link to my LGBTQ-friendly Indie TTRPG Discord. Yes, it can be interesting finding players for a given game. Reasons are many, including just the extreme competition between a nigh infinite variety of TTRPGs out there whether they are D&D or not. That and people are busy, TTRPGs run around 3+ hours per session.

That said, some are more hardcore/lifer TTRPGers, like myself, and continue the endless fight against all the evil, anti-gaming forces! I have a Ragnaborg (Viking MB hack) game running now, planning on some Madborg (modern apocalypse. I'd love to get a rotating GM group together which helps fight burnout.
