Also keep in mind that you cannot shift into/from difficult terrain or through enemies, so messing up the ground/corralling the Shadow into a corner also works.

I definitely prefer running at the table with physical props. Your paper minis for the opening of the Delian Tomb made that very easy!

I've gotta listen to those lyrics again, I suppose. The pre-chorus (or is it just chorus?) probably clips well (swelling rage, pushed me to the brink, etc)

Do you disagree with that definition of high fantasy? I think Capital is more intended as the "high fantasy zone" with flying carpets and a more broad access to magic. Personally, I think the "high fantasy" designation doesn't mean much on its own, but maybe that's my preference for space fantasy.

120

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

What? Where does that claim come from? The Heroes book explicitly mentions the setting covering high fantasy on page 10.

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

I think that wouldn't change anything load bearing in the class beyond Knockback/Grab limits. I know of two Mastermind Tacticians using that score swap currently, and it's going fine.

Witnessed an ICE abduction outside my apartment window. They took a mother, her toddler and a pre-teen, then shoved them into a dirty SUV. It was over in under a minute. This is horrifying, I can't stop shaking. Fuck ICE and their terror campaign.

Don't minions all group together for a singular, static value for a maneuver like Grab? I'm pretty sure 4 minions together would get 8 +characteristic + 4 minions

Yeah. On YT, lots of weird political compass meme ads, and military/etc recruitment ads. Also PragerU 🤢

Ah. I said "Defunct" because there's a character limit and I wasn't being hyper precise with my wording. Lesson learned, no posting on mobile. Still, smaller local conventions can struggle to get more than 2 players for a table of non-DnD games, unless there's a significant hook. Like Star Trek.

010

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

I feel like my point about name recognition was either missed or ignored. I love running Cypher-derived oneshots at conventions because it's more about the setting/genre, and the system is super easy to adapt. From my experience tho, even a cool setting or genre can only attract so many players.

110

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Gosh, I'm not saying it's hopeless, just that pure name recognition is biased towards 5e. Chill.

000

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

"As far as name drops go" I love and prefer non-5e games, I was saying that the name drop aspect (how attractive a oneshot would be by name alone) in comparison to 5e for most any game will be less, to the point of being defunct. Maybe that's too strong of a statement for you, but I'm not *wrong*.

210

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

I don't think Free League games rise to meet D&D's cultural capital at all. Modiphius's branded games tap into strong franchises (like Star Trek) but their mechanics are awkward for oneshots. Noting that CoC being bit in Japan is great, but I didn't see any specifiers about country in the question.

110

Erin Flavius Hanna-West @f1zz3r.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Fair, I was using Cypher to reference the overall system that Old Gods and Magnus Archives inhabits. (And Numenera was my first rpg, so I can't *not* bring it up 🤓) Regarding name drops, most non-5e games are defunct, no? I still think Cypher is easier to prep and run for that format.

"To Be or Not to Be a Villain", by James Introcaso, Rudy Basso, and Daniel Fox is a game using either 5e or Zweihander that has 2 or 3 GMs with particular duties, intended for groups of 9 players. One GM is the Director, the other is the Playwright, (and the optional third is the Stage Manager)

Numenera/Cypher System is great for oneshots

I know there's a post in the MCDM discord encouraging Directors to run Medium tests in round 1 then switch to Hard tests in round 2 for an increased sense of stakes. What does that do in comparison to your calculations here?

Action requires motion which requires references of position. Great fight scenes need fragile sets. Regularly, players "click" with Draw Steel when they throw an enemy into (or through!) a wall. That's a level of mechanical feedback many other rpgs don't achieve.

The messages I picked up (That Rey could be just anybody, and that dynasties are toxic to people at all levels of their societal hierarchy) stuck with me hard, but there's so much sloppy 2nd act plot threading I wish I could see the edited down version like a bootleg student film.

Not sure what the VTT barrier is, but the Delian Tomb for Draw Steel covers more than 10 sessions. My IRL group are on session 8 and not even halfway through.
