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.

What obscure RPG would you love to see become mainstream

The setting, yes, not the game, as I heard it now is Pacesetter or Dungeon World or some such, and i'm not sure how I feel about that.
It clearly isn't the same as the classical version.
Yeah, I can't remember the details but I do recall that the system, as described, put me off.
Not that I ever ran Kult with it's native system anyway, CoC worked just fine.

The new system is based on Apocalypse World much as Dungeon World is (though presumably tweaked for Kult).

To be honest, I don't much mind either way. Kult's system was never the draw in the first place, the setting material was always what was interesting about it.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Is that one of those "GM never rolls dice" systems?

Ugh.

Quote from: shalvayez;280997I'd like to see Unknown Armies resuscitated and made more mainstream. Lots of fun could be had there.
How would you suggest it be made 'more mainstream'?

I'm not a 5e fan, but I'd be good for Star Frontiers via 5e.

Agreed on Waste World. Wish Bill King would resurrect it and get it the promotion it deserves.

+1 more, but Howard Thompson sure doesn't seem likely ever to release his grip. It'll have to be reverse engineered the old fashioned way, without OGL/SRD support.

It pretty much has been, hasn't it? I thought that was Dark City Games' core system for their various modules.

Yeah, pretty much my feelings. The old Kult system felt sort of lackluster (at least the bits we interacted with — never played around, e.g. with the magic system). The only really important piece, I think, is the enlightenment/madness scale.

Also, using the AW system is so 2011. ;)

Maybe it's changed a lot since I saw it, but then the TFT core -- the tactical game -- was missing, and the rest was different. You could plug in some old stats, or go the other way and run the scenarios with the old rules, but that didn't make TFT and Legends of the Ancient World the same in play (any more than 3e and 4e and 5e D&D are the same, for instance).

Well, Kult is a horror game... what better way to let all participants really feel it?
