iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

#18 Terminal: Digital Pirate Action by @ratwave.bsky.social . Matrix, digital pirates and the same system as Inevitable. I really can't wait to run this game. It is going to get a one-shot at an online con in the near future.

Cover of Terminal. A woman, with a techno eye patch, holding a corded phone. A shark ship in the foreground.

#17 Hunter the Reckoning 5e. I was never much of a Hunter player and after reading the 5th edition still probably won't be. I will use parts of this book for Vampire and Werewolf games.

Cover of Hunter the Reckoning. Orange cover with a female hunter holding a sub machine gun, a halo around her head.

#11 Longshot City. Supers game running on Troika. This is another game I want to run a one-shot of.

#10 Demigods by Jason Mills. PBTA game about being demigods. If it seems interesting there are multiple actual plays @happyjacksrpg.bsky.social .

Cover of Demigods RPG. A woman wearing Greek style armor, holding a sword and shield, breaking down a door.

#9 Avatar. I think everyone backed this Kickstarter. Step one watch the series. Step two play this game.

#8 Rosewood Abbey by @rolistespod.itch.io. You are monks and you solve mysteries. The game sells itself. Now to find the time to play it

Cover of Rosewood Abbey. Black red and white motif, with a demon attacking a monk with a brick.

#7 Exalted Essence. This may be cheating, because I have played Exalted 1e over twenty years ago, but this is a different game so I'm counting it.

Cover of Exalted Essence. Representative characters of the different types of exalted surrounding a stylized star symbol.

#6 You're in Space and Everything's Fucked by Nevyn Holmes. I really want to be a hostile space station. Does anyone want to volunteer to die horribly?

#4 Trinity Continuum Anima. How can you go wrong with cyberpunk plus LITRPG themes.

Ok, my wife says I should do this. One like equals one TTRPG I own and that I haven't played. I will start with physical books.

Text that reads: Get to know my shame (crossed out) backlog. One like equals one game I own but have never played.

#RPGaDAY Day 14. It depends on how I'm interpreting the question. Best meta plot characters are WoD in general, and Mage specifically. When it comes to a system that creates compelling characters, the obvious answer, for me, is Traveller. You will never end up with the character you planned.

#RPGaDay Day 5. For RPG with best writing I am going to go with something RPG related. The Fragile Path is an epic poem telling the story of the First Cabal for Mage the Ascension. It is my favorite in world fiction for the World of Darkness.

#RPGaDAY Day 4. For an RPG with great art, I'm going to go with Inevitable. If you can, check out this game about doomed Arthurian Cowboys.

A wizard performing a ritual near electric lines. Fire rising from a circle, electric lines sparking.

A crossroads sign, with a crow sitting on top of it.

A ghostly white stag in a dark forest. Smoke rising from its antlers.

#RPGaDAY2024 Day 3. My most often played game is some version of Mage the Ascension. I started with 2nd edition, played mostly Revised, had a campaign using 1st edition Mage the Awakening rules during my wife's grad school years and am currently running two M20 campaigns.

Day 2: Most recent game played: If GMing counts Mage the Ascension. If not, I don't know. Please someone/anyone run a game I can just be a player in.

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam or Soundgarden or Alice in Chains
