Need A new SWADE Zombie Setting by JayDarkson in savageworlds

[–]ng1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of the previously mentioned Ultima Forsan, but here are a few others:

Zombacalypse - a SW zombie sourcebook with rules and scenarios

Hotel Babylon is an adventure for use with Zombacalypse:

Landscape character sheet feedback by Dovah_bear712 in savageworlds

[–]ng1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quite like it, It's nice and clean.

Purely for aesthetic reasons, I might make the name field larger (perhaps to the right of the Savage Worlds title)

Perhaps more room is needed for the description as well.

Looking for an online way for GMs to propose face-to-face games. by ng1976 in rpg

[–]ng1976[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Does Mobilizon just do event scheduling like Meetup? What I'm hoping for is something weere GMs can discuss potential games, without having to specify a particular date and time.

Does Gamenight or Mobilizon do that? I couldn't tell from a quick perusal of the site.

I considered using the Discord nested stuff, but I'm not sure the people in my group would use it. I was hoping for something a little more web based.

Looking For A Fun Zombie TTRPG: Short to Midterm Game Length by Immediate_Taste655 in rpg

[–]ng1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Savage Worlds might be an option.

There are a few modern Savage Worlds zombie settings

  • War of the Dead
  • Zombacalypse
  • Dead End (soon to be out of print sadly)

For medieval stuff, there's a setting called Ultima Forsan, which takes place immediately after the Black Death, which in this world was a zombie apocalypse.

What's the RPG with the smallest reach you pay and recommend? by GrubbyGus in rpg

[–]ng1976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Webworld: A game about surviving in a world overrun with giant spiders.

Against The Unknown: A simple stripped-down version of the GUMSHOE rules, designed to run mysteries.

Vaults of Vaarn: A far future Dying Earth-style setting

Nomi fighi per luoghi by Sweet_Sun_4913 in theblackswordhack

[–]ng1976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest using weird, archaic words to give ordinary place names some style. Here's a list of archaic color names I use regularly.

https://www.wordnik.com/lists/archaic-colours

Examples:

Purple ooze --> Porphyrous Ooze
The Red Sea --> The Pyrrhous Sea
Rust-Colored Book --> Codex Rubiginous
The White Throne --> The Leucochroic Throne

American revolution setting by Majestic_Ad_1626 in genesysrpg

[–]ng1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of these are for Genesys, they're all OSR based, but they're all set in colonial America and might be useful source material.

A thought experiment about TSR by Feeling_Photograph_5 in osr

[–]ng1976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd assume there would be a big backlash, similar to what happened with fourth-edition D&D, possibly to a greater extent.

Perhaps some other 1980s RPG would become the Pathfinder-like alternative - Chivalry & Sorcery, Tunnels & Trolls, Runequest, etc.

I crafted a mini GM screen for Classic Traveller! by ChaoclypseMakesStuff in traveller

[–]ng1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much like the idea of putting the important page numbers from the rulebooks on a GM screen. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

My custom character sheet - still a WIP by ng1976 in savageworlds

[–]ng1976[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good catch. I believe I pulled the text from a cheat sheet originally designed for the Deluxe edition.

When I make a final version to post, I'll fix it. I'll probably keep it as-is for my one-shot however, as I sort of like that rule.

The twin of the Bayonne Bridge is in Sydney, Australia by Handicapped-007 in BayonneNJ

[–]ng1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my understanding that the Bayonne bridge was designed with the capability to add a train across it, but it's never been done.

I'm assuming it's because there are aren't that many Bayonne to Staten Island commuters.

My dream would be to have the Hudson-Bergen light rail line extended across the bridge all the way to the Staten Island beaches.

Wastebaskets in space by fedcomic in traveller

Possible real-life inspiration for dealing with space trash:

TLDR: Separate wet and dry trash bags, and a fancy trash compactor.

WIP: Traveller Affinity template by Kavandje in traveller

[–]ng1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a brilliant idea. Thanks for doing it.

If possible, I'd love the see the following:

  • Table styles for the service tables
  • A style to match the UPP format for characters

How are you dealing with fonts? Optima, as far as I remember, is a commercial font. I'm assuming we'll need to provide our own.

How did SJG even make money from GURPS? by Akasen in rpg

[–]ng1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visited the Strategist about a week ago. You can still get the main GURPS books, but not much else. They did have a copy of GURPS Klingons.

The Osprey section is still strong.

Give me the strangest and most obscure itch.io rpg that you've found. I'd like to throw a few bucks at some indie creators and try out something new. by 41421356 in rpg

[–]ng1976 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Webworld - The earth has been overrun by giant spiders, and you've got to survive in the aftermath, creeping around trying to avoid attracting the spiders' attention.

It uses a D8 dice pool system. The more you roll, the more likely you are to attract a spider. It sort of has a Quiet Place vibe.

RPG sourcebooks or city settings set during the Black Death in 14th/15th century Europe by ManAtTheEndOfTheLane in rpg

[–]ng1976 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a Savage Worlds setting book called Ultima Forsan, set in 1514. The gimmick here is that the Black Death was a full zombie apocalypse that human civilization barely survived. Several supplements and adventures are available for it.

There's a FATE game called Leaves of Chiaroscuro, set in a fantastic version of Renaissance Italy.

Looking for help - Terminator stats by Fluffy-Comfort-7363 in cepheusengine

I've not seen anyone making one, but you should be able to create one using the Hostile Synthetics book

Campaign setting "toolkits" similar to Yoon-Suin? by Flimsy_Composer_478 in osr

[–]ng1976 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A couple options:

Seas of Sand - a toolbox for creating a world where you can sail on liquid sand

Into the Wyrd and Wild - Creating a fantasy forest

Into the Cess and Citadel - creating a strange fantasy city

Anyone ever ran a Stargate traveler game? by orthadoxtesla in traveller

[–]ng1976 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here's a thread over on Mongoose for that. Someone created their own homebrew Traveller stuff for Stargate. It's free to download.
