Planeswalkers are fun, Iconic, and have good design space. Battles are none of those things. Planeswalker emblems however are an awful mechanic.

Easily Underside by W.S. Healed. It's still in playtesting right now, but its genuinely quite good. The collaborative character creation and social combat rules are my favorite of it's mechanics.

Amuro, your mobile suit is equipped with Psycommu technology. Press up on the D-pad to activate your Newtype vision. This will allow you to identify any Zeon soldiers nearby and mark clues related to you current objective on your minimap.

the D&D 5e fandom and lifestyle brand is a separate hobby to the ttrpg scene, with much less overlap between the two demographics than most people expect.

Mothership with no profanity
resources
Hello! As all we know, Mothership is such a great TTRPG ruleset. But it has one big drawback: profanity and impure content in random tables found in Player Survival Guide. Is there any moral version of this book?

I saw this a lot in my recent Mythic Bastionland campaign with the Myths. The way it so easily made satisfying stories for my players really shocked me.

to my mind, the core of pbta is not "2d6+stat with mixed successes", it's the system of "when x trigger happens in the fiction, apply y specific mechanic". Codified, genre specific moves are its main innovation. If you think pbta is just 2d6+stat with varied levels of success, you missed the point

It’s funny to have been studying video game design/development for the past four years only to immediately want to pivot to TTRPGs as soon as Im about to graduate. Frankly the design problems and solutions of the medium are much more interesting to me than trying to make a video game NOT buggy.

This whole thread is really making me want to come back to PBTA games after bouncing off of them before. Maybe I'll try running Apocalypse World itself one of these days.

Ah yes, the reason why I made this classic, lol.

That system is strongly inspired by Blades in the Dark and Underside. I'd check out the playtest for that if you haven't.

Playing Electric Bastionland this saturday after the big finale of my groups Mythic Bastionland game. The entire rulebook is truly fascinating and evocative stuff. It's truly interesting to see how much changed between it and Mythic.

Just published the playtest of my first ttrpg and I already have my eye on some sort of OSR Ghost Adventures game. A Haunted House Crawler if you will.
