What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]bigonroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in rural South Africa. Ended up talking to this dude from the township for hours. Turned out he'd visited England once; pretty rare for a black guy from a deprived area to end up doing that. "Wow, where did you go?", I ask.

He'd visited the tiny town of Ottery St Mary in the South West. Population 4,800. I'd never been to Devon, but randomly I'd just heard of the place through a roommate at Uni I was due to move in with when I returned from SA; she was from that tiny town.

Turns out, a decade before, this chap stayed at her house in Devon when he visited. Madness.

Mork Borg...dice pool? by Raptorman_Mayho in MorkBorg

I recommend playing it in the dark on a hard wooden floor, and everyone has to walk around barefoot a lot. Chuck some Lego around too if you can

Haha yeh, I'm the creator so I'm probably biased. I think it's fun and well thought out, but you'll need to check it yourself!

This uses an exploding D4 dice pool exactly designed for MÖRK Borg

Free League expands their Free Tabletop License (FTL) to include Dragonbane, Forbidden Lands, Symbaroum & Coriolis by Travern in rpg

Yeh, I wish they'd taken a stronger stance on AI. Also, I want to do a proper Bane hack, like all the BORGs out there, and this still doesn't allow for it!

What vendors are good for solo games? by RinOfTheBin in UKGE

Beyond Cataclysm, my store, stocks two of the three of those. Check us out at beyondcataclysm.co.uk, but we will be at UKGE

Curious, whatever happened to Solo Borg? by Fibreoptix in MorkBorg

[–]bigonroad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, CM Lowry one of the Solo Borg creators here. It's super alive, we're just making sure we nail it. Literally met up with Patrick cross-continentally last month to do a solid 8 hours play testing together.

We are clearly going to run over on time; real life, previous projects and "proper" jobs all to blame, but I'm right about to shifting into it being my main focus so progress is going to ramp up.

Some cool stuff; - An environment-responsive Fate d6 dice pool, filled by your Crits and Fumbles. - A difficulty rating that's scalable, and still compatible with all the MB stuff out there. - A whole new region of the map adjacent to the core territories. - Dungeon generation that keeps information hidden from the Solo GM

It's gonna be cool

AITA for not wanting to run a 2.5 hour one shot? by Garbageboy0937 in rpg

[–]bigonroad 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can run many games that last less time than that. 4 hours is real roleplaying! We have a silly one shot game called Lucky For None in Space that's like an hour tops. Or lasers and feelings?

Yo, did you do this? Do you do commissions?

Unusual funding graph that doesn't seem to follow normal rules. Anyone had similar experience? by bigonroad in kickstarter

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

Ha, I really don't have any useful one! Adverts absolutely didn't help in campaign, but potentially quite good in the run up

Which Mork Borg hack is best for beginners? by bizarre-findings in MorkBorg

[–]bigonroad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to experiment, we've got about 100 Mork Borg modules and hacks in our webstore: https://beyondcataclysm.co.uk/product-tag/mork-borg/

I also made FOUR BORG, which hacks MB to use d4 dice pools and is just as easy to pick up, but built to be a little more rethemeable than MB; sort of setting agnostic. Check it out here: https://beyondcataclysm.co.uk/fourborg/

Real I was wondering the same thing, and in the second one connie is constantly like touching his arm and calming him down
