Anyone play it yet? I like the "rustic fantasy" setting. The core rules seem interesting, it has more mechanics and gameplay than most other narrative games. I enjoy that it doesn't have moves or whatever to confine you, you can actually play your character and do whatever you want. It's got enough knobs and options in terms of resolution I feel like it's actually a real game despite having that more story focus vs simulation focus. And I like that the DM has all the traditional power of the DM and there's not like "Fate Points" or something else that gives players control to change stuff.Thinking I might try a short game for my table, just a few lower powered sessions. It also has good tools for a solo stuff which is interesting.

>You all meet in the tavern of an isolated village. It's seven in the morning, and everyone is having their breakfast.>You see in the corner a young man in studded leather chatting animatedly with an older woman in heavy armor.>A young woman lets out a cheer as she beats a man of the same age in an arm wrestle. He wears a suit of gleaming gothic half-plate, while she wears a hauberk and gambeson. After the contest has ended, the pair enjoy a hearty meal of turkey and maize together.>An old man wearing a ragged cloak over equally ragged clothes nurses a cooling cup of coffee while watching their antics, stirring in a spoonful of sugar after an exploratory taste.>A woman sat on a stool by the bar takes in one last drag of her cigarette before she stubs it out in an ashtray. With that out of the way, she tucks into a pumpkin pie that is waiting for her.>A man with dark skin pays for his meal with several unfamiliar coins, before brushing past you on his way out the door. He wears a vest made of soft leather over a loose cotton shirt, and has a long sword in a sheath strapped to his back, ready to be drawn at any moment.>A young girl greets you animatedly and offers you menus. She asks if any of you were interested in buying some of the potato and rabbit stew that is currently cooking, or if you'd like rooms for the night. What does your latest tabletop character do in this situation?
>>97276113I kill the guy among them who took my Twinkie.
>>97277860You know damn well that's what Gygax meant when he put "studded leather" in D&D.
>>97276113My character internally cringes at all the various anachronisms that are ruining the mood of the renaissance fair, while giving an especially dirty look to the woman who can't go without a cigarette for a few hours; a scorn born more from jealousy than disgust as he has to stop himself from reflexively reaching for a box in his shirt pocket that hasn't been there for years.He mentally chides himself for taking the contact seriously and researching how to behave at the fair only for everyone else to care even less than he did. Yet, out of a sense of spite he decides he might as well keep up the act and do it right even if nobody else does. He takes a seat and though he declines the stew and room, he orders some bread and cheese to blend in. He's more of an eggs and bacon kind of guy, but forces himself to scarf it down as he knows he'll need the energy for later.He absentmindedly chews on the scarce fare as he keeps an eye out for the contact and tries to stop himself from chuckling at the noodle-armed office nerd losing in arm-wrestling to the roided out dyke pretending to be an amazonian. A few minutes turns into dozens and he decides he'll just have to do some legwork and look for the contact himself. As he pays, he wonders whether he should leave a tip with the plastic coins that the fair uses and decides he might as well, as he'll just bill the client for the expenses anyway. Serves him right for this joke of a meetup point.It's funny because nowhere in the stale pasta does it ever mention being a medieval, a fantasy world or anything even unrealistic once you realize the previous two don't apply. It's easily explained by just being a bunch of shitty LARPers in a modern setting and a retarded narrator, AKA (You).Also, on my way out of the tavern, my character notices a small smelly brown dwarf (manlet) in a corner making a retarded thread on /tg/ so he kicks his ass. Fuck you.

I found the celtic pantheon as something silly - as Celtic gods weren't like Zeus or Apollo. They didn't conjure lightning or move the sun.
>>97257539The merged mythology thing from 2e is retarded. Say someone flies to the sun, what do they see? It can't be a chariot, a boat, and a big pile of cow shit at the same time, but 2e says it is, because it's written by cowards.
>>97257539Its good in concept but it doesnt run so good and the books are set up like ass. Bad layout and hard to use. Some solid concepts, but not that great at the end of the day.

Glad to see the midwest vs west coast ttrpg argument is still going strongIt would be a shame if playstyles became uniform
Why would there be monologues in a game featuring more than participant? If you aren't communicating to the other people at the table, why are you speaking?

What was your first game of 2026, anons? Earlier today I played Arnak for the first time, 2p game with my wife. I quite enjoyed it, thought we wouldn't get to do all too much seeing as there's only 5 rounds of 2 worker placements each, but there was enough to do with card actions and misc. free actions. I think I'll get the expedition leaders thing soon. Also looking forward to playing with 3 or 4 people to see how it differs with numbers of location tiles and competition for sites.
What are some fantasy and sci-fi movies you should watch to inspire your games and players?

>>97278728you can order it, it's POD in dtrpg or whatever
>>97278092how do you run an osr-adjacent game without magical healing?you might want to check out Cartel (the pbta Narcos game) or the 100 Bullets comic for inspiration, it's like a modernized digestible take on the era without the kids on bikes trope.
>>97279021>how do you run an osr-adjacent game without magical healing?In ItO games you have 1d6hp that recovers with minimal resting but all attacks hit. Damage above your hp is taken down from your stats. Functionally what is called "HP" is actually consumable AC. If your stats go down you roll under your new lowered stat and if you fail it's a crit. I don't recall how it goes in ItO but in this one crit damage means you're down until someone takes an action to help you. People went down and up all the time. Any hit has a high chance of downing you, anyone can pick you up, you are constantly more and more likely to go down with any hit.That aspect went pretty good, the players had multiple options and tried things I doubt they would in other settings/systems.The mechanics for automatic weapons are also pretty good and in-line with the system. You roll a die for each target and everyone gets the lower one. That means each new target probably lowers the damage, but after a couple rounds all HP is spent so any damage could be critical and get them out of the fight.It was a decent one shot. I just wish I had some better way to make players adapt to a different genre. I recalll 100 Bullets being more grunge than glam. I wanted that Phil Collins playing over a shoot out kind of vibe, the closest players got was wantign Push It To The Limit playing all the time. But I read like over a decade ago.
>>97279136>I don't recall how it goes in ItOSimilar but deadlier. Failing a critical damage roll means you're out of action until someone else gets to you and you have a short rest to restore HP. If no one gets to you in an hour you're dead. Sounds like the Miami 86 helping each other up is faster and fits the fleshwound action run and gun vibe. Combat in ItO can get very deadly very quickly if enough party members get hit and taken out of action. Tends to result in TPK or a few survivors running away in my experience. Might try the 86 method next time.
I'm looking to run Dead Weight for Mothership as an introductory one-shot. Does anyone have experience in tracking/progressing time as the ship falls apart? I'm particularly aware that as written Renato’s body breaches the reactor two hours after the incident. I'm leaning to have this occur about halfway through the night, with the activities needed to jettison the pearl artificially eating up in-game time so the climax at the seventh hour comes at a faster real team pace. However, having the player's work up until that point undone is a bit of a risk.

>>97280327...do beastmen have a childhood?
>>97280362Lots of examples they do. Even excluding the human born ones, the Doe's are well established.It's actually likely beastmen as a whole have a lower infant mortality rate, but a much higher teenage/young adult mortality rate. Their children are pretty damn well defended, and the doe's are highly valued.They have like a super trad wife family style, though I don't think its monogamous in any way.
>>97280362Beastdoes/women do exists, and not much in known about them, but it is suggested they care for the young until they are strong enough to fight for scraps of food and partake in hunts themselves.
>>97280388>>97280397You think we'll ever get a beastdoe miniature?
>>97280416Official one? noBut I'm the guy making the Beastwomen army so, I'm doing it anyway.
If you could choose the set of core classes (in the PHB/core book and ideally the rest of the classes are designed around them) what would you choose?They don't have to be identical to their current incarnations.For me its,>Ranger,absorbs a lot of the fighter but keeps the independent survivalist schtick.>Paladin, Divine warrior with special abilities but no spells>Rogue,Sneaky stabby martial, basically as he is now>Wizard,>Druid,>Cleric,Default to being lightly armoured wandering friar tuck type character, but with options to put on some armour and bonk.
>>97277187>warrior>devotee>arcanist>allow players to take levels in them freelyThat covers literally everything if you build the classes right.
