An occasional #TTRPG thought I have: we lose a lot of gaming history because of licensed materials. I've heard how great the Ghostbusters RPG was. I know and love d6 Star Wars (2e R&E was mine), and have a new appreciation for RM, which I know through MERP.

But because they're licensed properties, they don't exist anymore. Can't reprint, licenses sold to others. Not gone, just rare and hard to get.

I have been looking at En Garde! lately, a 1975 #ttrpg which hasn't really seen much of a rules update since 1977, but still is being published (now in it's 4th edition).
It's a game about gentlemen drinking, womanizing, gambling, toadying, and getting into scrapes with one another in 17th ct. Paris.

Think The Three Musketeers, the rpg/#wargame.

In fact it originally was a fencing duel system, with the whole roleplaying part just a way to generate reasons for characters to duel each other.

I'm a writer, and one of the things I use social media for is to promote my own work.

I also know how annoying it is when authors never post anything *else*. So I limit myself to one post a week. That's today.

Here's my most recent book, published by Ad Astra Games. This is my current last word on designing scientifically plausible exoplanetary systems for fiction, at least until I produce a second edition.

Looking for suggestions for rules-light, genre-agnostic #TTRPG systems. I’m looking to start up a one- or two-shot that may or may not lead to a long term game. The future game is less important as I’m open to translating to another system. Free/open games are appreciated, but not necessary.

Thank you! 😊

Do any other Traveller players use the Miller rules for M-drives in gravity wells? It encourages you to put reaction drives on your ship if you really want to survive a slight mis-jump that puts you in between worlds and too far from the star. It also encourages a ship that operates far out from the gravity source, to plot an eccentric orbit that brings them back in again so their drives will eventually resume functioning.

I'm now at the portion of going through old papers and #ttrpg notes where I can quote Gandalf: "I have no memory of this place."

But I'm about to recycle a stack of dnd2e character sheets, from the pre internet days where we carefully formatted them in a word processor, then printed them on a dot matrix printer...
