General Discussion

[IsabellaRose]

Just adding a thread for general discussion not related to a particular game or question.

I'm thrilled that so many people are jumping into TTRPGs on here! I hope to have time free soon to join a game.

Am i a shitty GM if i keep forgetting about the games to the point that everyone forgets about them? I gm for 1-2 years and i never finished even a oneshot because over time i keep forgetting that i run a game and it just dies out? (Repost from monster hearts thread)

Nah, I just think that means your ADHD is as bad as mine. And, "No," @WickedCadrach, I have not forgotten Patches and Scylla. This evening.

 

Unless I see something shiny.

you're good. The advantage of play by post is that it's not happening in real-time.

That's tough. There are some things I'm like that on. I need to set phone alarms and post-it notes or I will just literally never do them. I will also procrastinate on stuff to the point where I'm staring at my calendar and saying insane things like: "If I write 10k words a day for the next four days I can finish without needing to ask for 'a couple extra days'."

i GM with, mostly, improv, and even then i screw up, and for me its like "either now or never" thing, where my head is always busy and if i dont do a thing right when i remember it, then i just forget about them unless i forcefully try to remember them, but it feels like forcing yourself to stay in on position while sitting in a chair. Then i get used to signals, and then i ignore them... ADHD is more of a curse than a blessing... though i guess i owe it my creativity.

So, on the subject of gamer ADD has anyone else stumbled across Vice and Violence?

Rules light, light hearted lewd RPG, also really good looking and clever. Check it out:

I haven't yet, but now that it is posted I am starting to look it over.

I took a look into it, i wouldt say its bad, but it definelty doesnt feel right go me.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

It's certainly not deep, thoughtful setting or challenging themes, but it does, at least to my eye, achieve what it's trying to well. Granted, that's mostly a I Roved Out In Search of Truth and Love style sex and swords romp, but it does that well. Whether or not that needed to be done is another discussion. Again, for my part, I say it did need to be done. It's a far less misogynistic Macho Women With Guns,

[Chiyako]

Seems to be an interesting setting. Sex systems are amusing! I don't like how random every bit of character creation is, but I'm sure that can be circumvented as the people in the game choose.

I didn't remember seeing it til I checked your link. It felt a little too much in the rulebook for me in the same way Mork Borg is too much - graphically cool but makes it harder to parse, and in this case impossible to reference in public lol

It might be a fun system to try though. 

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Mork Borg isn't actually too bad as a rule book - the rest of the *Borg titles are a lot more given to style over substance. I will say of V&V (I hate that abbreviation, that's fucking Villains and Vigilantes, thank you) that font choice for all the text is dumb, Not as dumb as Modiphius' first edition Star Trek Adventures with every single page tightly set, sans serif font reversed on slate gray. Fuck that's unreadable, looks great, keeps the look of TNG brilliantly, but fuck, it's a miserable to read.

I think I encountered a page of this somewhere once before. This is actually quite smooth and focused looking. Also looks right up this crowd's alley. 

If I wasn't already pushing it on RPs, I'd say let's try it (not that other people can't... you know what I mean)
