You might wonder: is there a #ttrpg inspired by Vance, Le Guin, Gilgamesh, Red Sonja & Conan, and Torah... that DOESN'T pay the fucking Pinkertons?

AND is that game easy to pick up, beautifully written by award-winning storytellers, & plays over coffee OR through a long, sexy Bronze Age Sword & Sorcery campaign?

GOOD NEWS! It's on SALE for FUCK THE PINKERTONS DAY*!

An enormous, pale crocodile with a green gem in its forehead β€” the queen of its river β€” negotiates with a human sitting in the sand at the shore.

The human seems relaxed as she explains that the approaching army from which she hids is much more sustenance than her little, skinny self, and she could bring them here for the crocodile to feast upon.

The crocodile will concede, with the caveat that each time she hungers, the little mortal will feel her hunger.

The cover of The BLOODY-HANDED NAME of BRONZE, on which a woman, dressed in a bronze helmet and linen armor, draped in the pelt of a wild animal, casually decapitates a henchman while other henchmen encircle her with their weapons at the ready.

At her feet is a substantially more slight, bearded man who has summoned the approaching thunderstorm that has, unfortunately, decided that this is the time to renegotiate their agreement that the storm help him.

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.

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...

Think I'm ready for tomorrow's game. #Roll20 build completed with everything needed to run Zozer's Far Horizon.

Using the #TravellerRPG 2e sheet which works well enough for #Cepheus. I've added oxygen readouts for the team if they use their suits and a mission time remaining (ie the 96 hours they have before they have to burn for home).

A little nervous about this (it's a long time since I ran a dedicated exploration based game. Perhaps I should watch 2010 tonight for inspiration?
