This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Terror Network Feedback

So we are working on a revision of our counter-terrorism game "Terror Network". It was our first book and remains our most popular. Our goal is to massage some of the rules and make the presentation more exciting and in-depth. It is going to be backwards compatible so people can use our existing modules, but things that need clear tweaks will receive them.

I am hoping to get some reader feedback and suggestions as I think about the revision effort. So anyone who is interested drop me a line and we will send you a comp PDF of the rule book, the agency guide and our module "The Patriot Incident". There are lots of options and new material in the agency guide which will be incorporated into final revision of the rules (for example we expanded the mandate mechanic which handles calling in favors from your agency). Right now we expect the revision to be larger than the original (probably 190 pages total).

Do you want any discussion to happen here or just through e-mail?
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Through email is best for me.

I do have one thought based on your later games if you'd like it.



I believe you have my email already, though? :)
Here for the games, not for it being woke or not.

I wonder what happened to my Servants of Gaius ad that I put up here...

I'm not entirely certain what system this is for, but I have made something of a hobby (in addition to a minor professional interest) into actual terror networks... so I'd be interested...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Spike, pm me your email address and I will get you a pdf.

Terror Network uses the network system, which is a d10 dice pool skill-based system (same one we use for Servants of Gaius----pundit has a review up now that gives an accurate description of the system).

totally unnecessary "PM Sent" Post....     ;)
