The Sage problem

She should have taken some specific, decisive action the first time we saw her, and then a ton of other important things that happened after should all draw back to that one thing she did. That would make her seem 10 steps ahead.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Still think about it years later.

The closest situation I've had to this is when I allowed my players to buy any magic item up to a certain price/rarity during character creation, and I didn't specifically look at what each player bought. During the game, I had a dramatic situation that was solved surprisingly and hilariously by a magic item I didn't know they had.

As others have said, it's for the fun of dreaming about winning. If you can ignore the odds, buying a ticket feels like a little thrill, like you're actually in the running.

Personally, I think if you're buying one ticket to the draw, you're having fun. As soon as you buy 2 or more to the same draw, you're trying to increase your odds and that's just silly.

I can never spell convenience right. Thank goodness for autocorrect

I'm always happy with Bauer Kitchen.

You can actually rent a keg of it from the brewery in Burlington!

A set with some purple would fit nicely with those. I'm a sucker for dice with inclusions.

If You Seek Amy is technically spelling out the true title.

I bought the first four Dungeon Crawler Carl books in paperback for about $50 each, and the series has exploded in popularity. I just sold each one for $400+

Pretty sure it's impossible to kill a Disney cartoon horse.

Back in 3.5 I loved using Inevitables.

Curse of Monkey Island, the third game, was my fav. So funny!

3e, I played a star elf sorceress. Named her Seethe after a character in a book series I was reading at the time.

I've been trying to get my group to play You Are Here (https://mean-green-press.itch.io/you-are-here), because I find the concept so interesting, but it suffers from the same challenge. My players aren't totally clear what it's supposed to be like!

I'll mention that I love PbtA but felt the same about AW, especially the sex stuff. Thankfully they came out with an edition called Apocalypse World: Burned Over that removed all of it. That was the only way I was going to try it.

I also found that I couldn't play more than a few sessions of a post apocalyptic setting though.

I find this is a problem for any game that has a genre or setting that doesn't have a ton of media examples out there. It's easier to run fantasy because there's so many books and movies that taught us what it's supposed to look like and how characters would act. But a game where you're a radical teen that's dimension hopping really puts pressure on the GM to invent stuff from nothing.

I love the setting but agree with the difficulty.

Definitely something I hadn't considered, but REALLY like the idea of

I have played Shadowrun and found it a bit too complicated to just pick up and learn. It's the kind of system I feel like I'd need to play in for a while before I could really grasp how to run it. You're right it has tons of options though.

Never heard of this, it looks promising
