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.

Hello everyone, I just launched a Kickstarter for a new RPG system I am developing (Riposte). I would be happy to answer any questions about it here, though as the project is the product a single developer I may take a moment to reply. Otherwise, the campaign itself includes a more detailed overview than can otherwise reasonably fit here. Some highlights of the system include very deep customization, a complex magic system, tactical combat, and the mechanics are based on the d100.

Hello CalebM!

I run the Randomworlds TTRPG Discord chatroom and hold text-based Q&A sessions for game designers there. Would you be interested in coming by to discuss Riposte?

Past guests include Kenneth Hite, Robin D. Laws, Greg Stafford, Greg Stolze, Marc Miller, Jonathan Tweet, Margaret Weis, Mike Pondsmith, Ken St. Andre, Peter Adkison, James M. Ward, R.A. Salvatore, and Mark Rein•Hagen.

This is a free service, although tips are welcome at https://ko-fi.com/gmshoe.

Your Q&A will be promoted on my Facebook feed, at 16 Facebook groups -- 18 if it is a Kickstarter -- and on three major RPG web forums (TheRPGSite, RPGPub, and Enworld). In addition, the log of the Q&A will be maintained on my blog.

Here's the schedule, where you can see upcoming guests: https://tinyurl.com/randomworlds-schedule

I should also mention that game authors are always welcome to hang out with us and discuss their products, and we have quite a few authors who do so on a regular basis. A Q&A simply gives you the floor to yourself. Stop by and check us out! :)
