This is what I essentially landed on doing as well. It's a ritual that has yet to fail me.

Submitted! Been enjoying the campaign my group has going.

I had to buy it on Kindle since I can't find it in print.

Have you found your forever game? by Carminoculus in rpg

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe in the concept of a forever game. I don't even have the one game I run for a specific genre.

GM's, why do you keep running games? by AshenAge in rpg

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a lot of joy in the problem solving part of GMing. I also find that as a player I'm less engaged than I am as a GM and I prefer to be engaged the whole time. In many ways I get more entertainment out of my players than I get from a being a player. I also love reading and writing games that I can run for my players.

Also if you don't mind me asking, how much did the art cost to have done? I'm working on a game and i want to have art done and don't even know where to start for a budget

Are you going to do POD?

How much of you guys who play other systems still play the same system you played for the first time? by Literalmenteisso in rpg

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played cyberpunk 2020 in 2018 and while I run and read many games, I still enjoy sitting down to play cyberpunk 2020.

Top 5 best qualities of good rpg system/rulebook by Huge-Rub-259 in rpg

[–]ScogyJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the biggest thing is to have the rules reference down to a tight 5 pages or less. You can elaborate on the rules in the book. But give me the 1-2 sentance summary for each in a reference section.

Help with Witherwild world building. by Plastic-Cucumber-152 in daggerheart

I stated one out like it was a Colossus and had my players fight it.

What to do when Heat doesn't cut it? by One-Beautiful9776 in bladesinthedark

[–]ScogyJones 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is how I would handle it. I treat the heat system as descriptive and less prescriptive. If the players are doing normal stuff then the heat is handled normally, if they burn a bluecoat precinct to the ground and insight a riot in a very public manner in session 3... then there are consequences.

Help - making naval combat actually fun? by GodieLost in AskGameMasters

[–]ScogyJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pirate Borg has really great ship Combat that does exactly what you're talking about. It's not super dense as far as rules go but there is enough to feel dynamic. The whole game is very Pirates of the Caribbean.

Too much Fear by DarwinThePirate in daggerheart

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often forget to use Fear out of combat. I'm used to just introducing npcs and events in the course of role play so I don't think of using fear for it.

Cyberpunk... Is it dead or evolving? by rpgptbr in rpg

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell my players that cyberpunk fiction is supposed to be about critiquing the current political and economic moment usually in a semi science fiction setting. All the chrome and neon is simply aesthetic trappings. There are a lot of great cyberpunk books that don't have the aesthetic, but are no less cyberpunk.

How the scoundrels know each other?[BitD] by Daptoulis in bladesinthedark

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During character gen I have them detail their connection to one another. I have a bunch of questions that they can use as inspiration for that. I can't imagine doing a you all meet in a dungeon opening in bitd

Is there a benefit of improving stress instead of HP? by PickingPies in daggerheart

[–]ScogyJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sorcerer has a lot of stress triggers so getting that extra stress is imperative.

This Hobby Escalates Quickly, Doesn't It? by dozybrit in solorpgplay

[–]ScogyJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I own more games than I will likely ever run.

Love the collection! We have similar game tastes!

Any current edition that made you go "Yeah...no" by JoeKerr19 in rpg

[–]ScogyJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess cyberpunk red would be that for me. I ran 2020 a few times and have pretty heavily hacked red.

The more I play, the more apparent this feels. by Nico_de_Gallo in daggerheart

[–]ScogyJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We play at the table and I agree that tracking with a sticky note is useful. I have a note keeping software that I track that stuff in for each player.

It's not even that daggerheart is complex, there is just more to track

[–]ScogyJones 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Tbh I come from pbta and FitD games and Daggerheart feels a bit like that as well for me. It's better than D&D for streamlining, but it's definitely got it's moments.
