I’ve played Eco Mofos, it was interesting. Leans heavily on the punk part. The system is OK to good. Gets in your way sometimes, but it might have been everyone’s inexperience with it.

So cool! Maybe Sharkey? And Bookwyrm.

I mean the way it got truncated makes it clickbaity.

First line becomes the title, so keep that in mind. Your title looks atrociously clickbaity now (“Bundle of Holding are currently not offering one, not offering two, not even offering three”), which might explain the downvote I see.

Short: yes, it would sell. Do it!

Long: This is the format found in the then very popular “Volo’s guide to…” AD&D sourcebooks. They were prefaced and annotated here and there by Elminster, the scholar mage extraordinaire of the setting. The idea was that this Marco Volo character documented tales of places, creatures, magicks, etc. not only without rigor, but prone to exaggerations, inaccuracies, and outright fabrications. Like fake travelogues of the 19th century, just looking for a quick buck from naive readers.

It was popular for a few reasons:

• very well written, fun to read
• delicious, flavorful prose that added color to the world along with data
• establishes an unreliable narrator, which encouraged GM’s to deviate freely from written lore

!opensource@programming.dev might also be interested in this. Thanks for sharing!

Warhorn?

They were MY dashes much earlier than the usurper’s.

Cortex Prime. Extremely hackable, nearly impossible to break. Powerful to reinforce flavor with mechanics (which is what I think you’re going after). Simple mechanics (if you don’t go ham with the Mods).

Also might want to consider having 2 referees. The party will split, and this would keep things moving.

Mark of the Odd games (Into the Odd, Mausritter, Into the Bronze, etc.). Extremely fast character creation, the rules so light they’re almost not there, very few rolls, very deadly rolls.

This is an LLM bot. Look at its post history. It’s using your answers to train itself to promote a product.

I had fun with my yungun with Argyle and Crew, a kid focused RPG where you create sock puppets as characters.

Oh, Prospect is great!

I have no experience with this specific setting, but I’ve played SW quite a bit. I think it would be pretty straightforward to adapt it to FATE, and with a little extra effort but a better result to Cortex Prime.

If you’re open to branching into other systems, the folks at !scifi@ttrpg.network can help you pick an easy to learn and vibe appropriate system for your adventure.

This was a nice read. Thank you.

Anytime! And let us know how it went. !scifi@ttrpg.network would be interested in this too.

I was looking into the skill list of Bulldogs, one of my favorite sci-fi Fate creations. Things I like about the changes they made:

• no Lore, not setting appropriate.
• no Notice: players will use any skill related to what’s being noticed. A good burglar is better at detecting plain clothes cops and break in weaknesses, for instance.
• Academics is broken down into setting appropriate skills (they used science, and systems).
• replaced Resources by Haggle, with a simpler mechanic. You may want to ditch this entirely since buying and selling doesn’t mesh that well with T2.
• no Investigate: it’s an action RPG, Science can be used for general deductive reasoning, otherwise another specific applicable skill (i.e. Systems to investigate a hack, Larceny to investigate how the safe was broken into, etc.)

Notes:

• if you fragment skills, you make it harder for someone to progress along that field (needs more advancements to raise it all), which may be what you want.
• The opposite for coalescing skills.
• A skill list smaller than 18 will make your characters stronger, bigger than 20, weaker (they start with 10 trained skills out of 19 existing on the default list).
• keep in mind characters have only 6 starting skills at +2 or above.

Will you be using the default skill list or will you tweak it?
