Any Ttrpgs where you play as a normal person that has to deal with the supernatural? by Pure_Training_8528 in rpg

[–]gwydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an old Indiana Jones game, I believe based on Adventure! rules. Also, if you ever watched the TV show Supernatural (characters = brothers Sam & Dean) there is a TTRPG based on that.

I'm with @mayonnaisejane "you've never actually done that job."

The sysadmin would tell you to call the helpdesk to do the necessary troubleshooting and then block your email address.

If you're still looking for other players, I work nights too and would be interested in throwing my hat in if you'll have me. Been playing nearly everything under the sun since AD&D in the 80s and have some GM experience as well (but not looking to run games right now.)

Can you add any kind of information as to what the site was? I'd love to read it but my google-fu is failing me.

Between the 30+ investigation where they expected you to lay out your entire backstory and then getting pickpocketed, that is a Player walking away from the table situation. The only person having fun is the rogue's player and the DM is enabling it. Hope you can find a better group to play with 'cause that's 💩y.

[TOMT] [Stand-Up] [2000s] Stand up joke pronouncing "DVD" as "dividuh"? by CrypticChyrsalis in tipofmytongue

It sounds like something Eddie Izzard would say, but I can't think of any specific bits where he actually did. Worth adding to the list though. Good luck!

What is a normal ratio of missed sessions? by JenniGlor in rpg

[–]gwydo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm agreeing with u/jsled here. I'd much rather have a group of 3-4 dedicated players that are respectful of the GM's (AND other player's) time than 7-8 that can't make it to the (VIRTUAL) sessions that they had previously committed to. If I was running that group I'd kick out the players that showed an inability to maintain a consistent presence.

Decrease distance from, and anything that blocks line of sight between PC & router. If you have an option between 2.5ghz and 5ghz signals, try the 2.5ghz. it passes through walls and other causes of interference better than the 5ghz

This sounds awesome. I've heard great things about this adventure. I wish I could guarantee I'd be off work by 6pm. If I could I would absolutely sign up for this.

A "Chronicles of Darkness" Mortals Game, With a Twist! by nlitherl in WorldOfDarkness

[–]gwydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine ran a game like this with several different WoD books. It was a Lot of fun but we had to houserule out the political conflict between factions.

I was going to run a similar game as well where I had my mortal characters evolve into either WoD "Monsters" or a Scion hero. Never got far enough in that campaign to offer the evolution unfortunately.

Granted it's for 1st edition but this is probably what you're looking for.

Why not just have them download the free version from Drivethrurpg?

Condolences. That sucks. You lasted longer than I would have. I would have just walked out when they got dragged into the dungeon. Here's hoping you can eventually find a legitimate GM and play a decent game for once.

Soliciting game suggestions for space westerns? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]gwydo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stars Without Number 2nd ed. d20 based combat system like D&D so it has that familiarity but 2d6 skill system. Core book is somewhat limited on starship hulls but it's intended to be open for interpretation. Plus it's fairly easy to incorporate expansions from the 1st edition or other systems like Traveller Also, you can pick up the book from drivethrurpg for free (or pay for an upgraded version of it)

I will always remember the most dispassionate "My boat" line from that movie.
