With the impending shutdown of Google+ upon us, we’re excited to create a permanent place for our fans to share session recaps and podcasts, ask rules questions, and stay up to date on the latest Magpie Games news! More details to be announced soon!

We know the imminent G+ shutdown is lingering in the back of all our minds!

We know the imminent G+ shutdown is lingering in the back of all our minds! Before we get sucked into the black hole that can be the holiday season, we would like to gather some intel on where and how our fans would like to transition this community.

Some of you may already use Discord or Reddit, but we know some people find those spaces difficult to navigate. That said, some people want to avoid using Facebook for gaming conversations. While there might not be a perfect space, we’d love a medium in which everyone feels comfortable free to engage, and able to easily reach out to us with questions about gameplay, mechanics, etc.

In addition to options like Discord or Facebook, we’re also considering opening up our own Magpie forums on magpiegames.com as we revamp the site over the next couple of months. Please let us know if that option seems of interest to you!

Let the polling commence! And, of course, more detailed feedback in the comments is always welcome 🙂

They are literally from all over the world and some are interested but it would have to be online.

Google Hangouts was an option when I saw the demo from 2015 that Marrisa ran a few years ago, until I saw they removed app support completely.

Roll20 has been considered, but even though it has some features I can use, I am pretty sure not everyone is going to be comfortable with it.

Any suggestions?

My wife is looking to run an Epyllion game for our group and i had a character in mind that would follow the Daredevil archetype but be a member of Semscale, the House of Jade (I’m basing the character on the idea of a sort of Holy Fool, ala TMNT’s Michelangelo and the animated Ultimate Spider-Man’s depiction of a young Iron Fist) .

So… are you limited to the houses listed on your Playbook, or can they be further customized?

Wanna dive into some Narco-fiction stories a la Breaking Bad, The Wire, and El Mariachi? We’ve just launched our Kickstarter for our new PbtA game, Cartel, by +Mark Diaz Truman! It’s an intense game (Rated M for Mature), that is perfect for creating dramatic, intense play at your table.

If you want an RPG culturally grounded in Mexico and real-world issues, based on the PbtA system, and published in an absolutely gorgeous book, then go back it!
