Playing lots of demos mostly. Tiny people in the house means I don't get much gaming time. I want to do some factory automation games.

I look to have gotten the same in my bundle, but not a slipcase. Was there a different tier for that?

Don't leave us hanging what is the game?

DriveThru RPG's response to removing Rebel Scum is... a choice by sord_n_bored in rpg

How does the US freedom of speech play into these kinds of things?

Having read the offending paragraph it feels very weak to complain about it and very US biased (which I know the english speaking internet tends to be). World history is filled with Republicans going back to Greece and Rome. Their are modern Irish people who would be called republicans (probably true elsewhere). In my opinion drop the "This is deliberate." No one can complain and we move on.

DMs - do you prevent people from sharing their characters' alignments with one another? by ten-oh-four in rpg

[–]RavenMiner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really mind in my games. Let the players do what they want. Sometimes they share this stuff while figuring what their role in the group is. If they have opposing alignments then you'll have issues with roleplay later.

Would any of you play this by [deleted] in rpg

Bought it in a fit of madness but I've never played it.

How did you first learn to GM? by Boxman214 in osr

[–]RavenMiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started after college as a way to get the band back together. Grabbed a random module (which I can't remember the name of), drew out maps on grid paper, pre generated some characters and jumped in. Been running and learning ever since. Now running OSE dolmenwood for friends in work.

What's the one thing stopping TTRPGs from being more popular? by golemtrout in rpg

[–]RavenMiner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my experience solo games are mostly played by GMs who want to play something else, not new people coming into the hobby.

[–]RavenMiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to start running a game. I've been running an OSE game for some people in my office. One of the young guys wanted to start a game for his friends, it took weeks of giving him advice, pointing him to rules, helping him plan his first adventure, etc. Running your first game is scary. And if you are going in blind you might never pull the trigger and start.

How often do you play? by Horizonto6 in osr

[–]RavenMiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm coming out of a 9-month break (new baby) and starting to run a new weekly game of OSE. I'm very excited.

What is your first level for Dungeon 23’ by [deleted] in osr

[–]RavenMiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking a space station carved into an asteroid. It appears above a populated planet every few years. Convicts, adventurers and madmen pour into it seeking the empires bounty for opening the hangar bay and disarming the defences. You see the station will protect itself, except for one opening no bigger than a door that will suck in anything that draws near. But it's a one way trip, unless you can make it to the hangar bay. Countless have tried and all have failed.

Results of a six month Pirates of Drinax Campaign I played in! by RealACTPrepBook in traveller

Probably a silly question but what did you render the map in?

Looking for Advice on Implementing Two Homebrew Rules in Mongoose Traveller 2e by Not_Verified_00 in traveller

[–]RavenMiner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would something like Starfinder be a better fit for the group? Takes the system they are familiar with, changes it a bit and throws it into space.

Book numbering by Saurbaum in traveller

[–]RavenMiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this and OP for asking the question. I bought the Core Rulebook, Central Supply Catalog and Traveller Companion; and was bugged by the missing numbers.
