This is the rather raw PbtA hack I’ve been running with my “meat-space” group, and I realize I haven’t posted here (unless my memory is failing me). It’s generic (Thus I’m calling it the Generic Meat-Space System) since when I started running the game I’m using it for, I didn’t have a whole lot in mind beyond “multiverse science-fantasy where characters can be quickly made, and of a very wide variety”.

It’s been a lot of fun, and I plan to keep adding to it.

I’ve ran… I want to say 4-5 sessions of it now.

Hopefully someone else can have fun with it, or find something useful in it.

My wife recently called me a “Quesomancer” because I eat at Moe’s/Chipotle/Qdoba so much.

My wife recently called me a “Quesomancer” because I eat at Moe’s/Chipotle/Qdoba so much. So of course I had to rush home and make a “Southwestern” hack for PbtA 😀

I hope you get a kick out of reading it, at the very least. But I would love feedback, so feel free to comment on the doc!

Tschai RPG — PBTA Planet of Adventure!

Tschai RPG — PBTA Planet of Adventure!

Do you like Jack Vance? How about games powered by the apocalypse? Maybe the beautiful production values of some of the french roleplaying games strike your fancy? Well, I am happy to be able to help!

I am pleased to announce that I’m the official english-language translator for the Tschai Roleplaying Game, by the french publisher 500 Nuances de Geek. This publisher secured the license for Jack Vance’s culturally-rich science-fantasy “Planet of Adventure” setting. They are currently crowdfunding a french roleplaying game in that setting on Ulule.com, the european equivalent to Kickstarter. The original game is being designed by the excellent game designer Tiburce Guyard, who is using the core of Dungeon World as his foundation. I will be working with him to prepare an english-language version of his design as the official translator.

I encourage you to take a look, and back it if you are interested!

Highlander/Living God PbtA games. Anyone know of any?

A long time ago I started a Destiny-inspired PbtA hack called (a)Risen.

A long time ago I started a Destiny-inspired PbtA hack called (a)Risen. I had a lot of fun working on it but the more I got into it the more complex and fiddly it began to feel. Later, my spouse and I were looking for a way to play games together, alongside one another, without needing to gather a GM (one or the other of us would often be tapped to GM). So I started designing a World of Dungeons-inspired rules-light hack called Dungeonlords, that could be played without a GM.

Then I realized that I could take the setting I felt was beginning to become bloated and rework it using the new rules system. So I introduce Wyrdish, a lighter, simpler reboot of (a)Risen that runs on my prototype GM-less Dungeonlords engine.

This is still a work in progress, of course, but the base rules are pretty filled out. I need to now start on making all the tables and details that players will be using. I hope you enjoy what I have so far though, and I’ll keep updating with more.
