Chaosium’s Ringworld or Stormbringer

Dragon Pass is simply excellent. It really brings Glorantha to life in a practical way to help GMs and players alike.

It’s excellent. Right up there with Weapons and Equipment in providing lots of colour on life in Glorantha. Chock-full of scenario ideas, locations and personalities. It’s a must buy, IMO

Runequest fan here - thank you

Yes I love @chaosium.bsky.social. Any clues on what we have to look forward to for RQG in 25? Solar Gods… the Gamemaster Guide even? πŸ˜‚

Early on in my career large sets of random numbers were a key part of the job

Wishing you all the best mate. Those mellifluous tones will be back stronger than ever πŸ‘Š

Happy birthday @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social - hope there’s something RPG related in the mix! 🎲 🎲

Went to see it at the weekend. Really enjoyed it. I can’t comment on how faithful it is to the book but it is a visual feast.

Runequest - a wonderful blend of system and setting that days back to the earliest days of the hobby. It’s a little β€˜crunchy’ by modern standards but worth the effort. Also, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu. Free League has some great games too eg The One Ring and Symbaroum.

Seconded.

It was D&D because that’s what the big kids in the school wargaming club were playing in 1979. We found alternatives like Runequest within a year or so and switched immediately

Welcome back. I β€œthawed” three years ago thanks to @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social and haven’t looked back πŸ‘

I’m feeling pretty good about my rescue…

Flashman is an excellent read. Great fun.

No - it’s dreadful. I watched Ep 1 and couldn’t face any more.

Thank Neil! This came out when I was in the deep freeze. It seems so highly regarded this is a β€œmust”…

I want to get back into 2300AD or perhaps Traveller - it’s so well supported by Mongoose. Really enjoyed running Pendragon 6E by @chaosium.bsky.social - can’t wait for the Players Book in early 24

I’ll listen to both but vote for the Expanse. Not enough sci-fi ttrpg content generally.

You’re in for a treat - it’s brilliant TV. Just about to start Season 4

Copilot?

System is simple but flexible. Easy to prep, very well supported by Mongoose. It accommodates macro and micro scale campaigns. Lots to like.

Fantastic - these were some of the best radio drama I’ve ever heard. Delighted to learn more is on the way.
