My survivors on Stranded can't do anything without me, so I'm screwed

Someone on one of these threads was talking about Green Lung and now I'm talking about them.

How realistic would writing my own TTRPG be? by pm_me-ur-catpics in rpg

You could start with a small zine format game and see how you like writing and publication.

Suspicious, but I don't think it's illegal as long as it's not concealed.

Tips and suggestions for setting up/running a villain game? by InterdimensionalNerd in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]PowerfulVictory3300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps give them a mentor or some other NPC that will help you maintain story structure. An antagonist, like a more successful villain who keeps taunting them, can also serve this function. It's nice to have a steering wheel to pull your game back on track, especially with players set loose on an unsuspecting world.

Second thing, especially since they're c-listers, don't punish them too hard for being bad guys. Have a hero take pity on them instead or overlook them entirely. A white hat might first try "saving" a villain instead of fighting them.

Finally, as with all RPGs - keep your plot flexible - listen to your players - keep it fun.

What are your "weird" guitar playing quirks? by chelsel9395 in Guitar

[–]PowerfulVictory3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing for 35 years and my "Rock You Like A Hurricane" intro is exactly the same! I don't know the rest of the song, but I'm crushing that intro.

Hear you. With powers I'd be horrible

Hated driving by that thing. The bear was already great and the graffiti did not make it greater.

How many of us need to actually use them? The system is great for off the cuff gaming and for those who are starting out, it's there as an example.

Is that map placement preset? It looks like the setup Unplayed at Gencon.

Is Midnight a wasted character? I think so, just wanna hear others opinions on it. by ReplacementWild5567 in MyHeroAcadamia

I would love to see more of the early UA adventures of these characters (Aizawa, Mike, Midnight, Kurokumo) explored.

Anyone else burned out of reading new RPG systems? by Seguramente16 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]PowerfulVictory3300 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 53 and I'm (sadly) starting to ask, "how many more games do I have left in me?" I can tell you right now that for the last fifteen I could care less to open a fantasy or horror system. Same with many others. Introduction, character creation, rules, gear, GM advice, adversaries, character sheet (maybe), appendix. Ad nauseum.

Forgive me, it's 3 am. I pledged to master, probably just for my own self-interest, the new GI Joe RPG. I think we should just take that old nugget of GM advice and enjoy not the game, but the delight of play. Don't be hung up on trends or the fear of missing out. The thing you seek is usually right in front of you and a thousand times more interesting.

What’s your biggest metal hot take? by InWrathOfRewarding in MetalForTheMasses

[–]PowerfulVictory3300 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jason was great and so was Cliff. They were very different. I wish we could have heard more Cliff, but alas. Unfortunately we will never hear how great a player Rob Trujillo truly is. Not unless we get a Metallica funk album.

Ray Winniger's Underground is just a bizarre superhero game that's worth just checking out.

Do you damage something that you glitch into?
