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 are you playing?

Homebrewed engine modded to Strontium dogs.

Using it as a way to playtest stuff and make additions whilst providing a rewarding game for the players.
So Far
i) simplified combat modifiers and brought in Advantage /Disadvantage
ii) generated a psyker archetype by modding the magus class fromt eh base game, which has worked suprisingly seemlessly
iii) decided that the base archetpe whcih is points + 2 skill trees needs to be adaptable to allow players to swap out a skill tree for an alternate (player wanted to play a rogue who had pilot/transport skills)
iv) decided that attack and defense bonus grow too fast so either introduce a E6 type cap on them or remove option to bump per level inaddition toteh base bump (Warriors get base +1 attack per level and can buy an additional +1 per level as a level option which they ALWAYS do - solution either remove the base +1/level or the option to buy an additional. Same for Defence)
v) Players very happy.

Quote from: languagegeek;665197I'm planning a big Mutant Epoch campaign for my next turn at GM. I'm working on houserules for the skill/hazard system. I like the hazard table (and will keep it), but I don't really like the static nature of hazard checks too much.
Good to see it getting some love.

With the hazard checks you could use a higher letter code, or add a bonus/penalty to the stat if need be, but its hard to get a 'degree of success'. Myself I do like that you can have Endurance checks etc. adjusted for current damage, though I'm not big on tables.

I am running the game described here. AD&D1e with the ordinary topping of cheese.

I saw tonight a novel use of the potion of animal control - get the man-eating ape to attack the other by means of the dominance ritual... humping his hams.

Fair enough.

Right now I'm running:
1. Dark Albion, using LotFP (currently exploring the barrowmaze, which I've put in the Anglish-welsh border region)

2. Golden Age ICONS

3. an english-language DCC campaign in an extremely gonzo world of my own design.

A Doctor Who-inspired Planescape campaign with Harbringer House as the Tardis - under 3.5E.

Next: I'm putting my finishing touches on my "CSI Waterdeep" campaign (3.5E too). I'll run it this Fall.
