I 100% agree with Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. It's how I found and fell in love with #CortexRPG. I like the d616 system too, but MHR resonates more to me.
The Leverage RPG was pretty great too and also underrated.
I am still collecting as many of the older Cortex games that I can find.
#CortexRPG for me, in all its flavors, especially Tales of Xadia, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, and Smallville. I want to shout about it from every rooftop.
To be fair, since @direwolfdigital.bsky.social purchased and abandoned Cortex, betraying its fans, enthusiasts like me kind of need to step up.
I love #CortexRPG but Dire Wolf really seems to be deliberately and actively hiding it under a rock. I just don't understand what the hell they're doing with it.
Preparing to run #TravellerRPG, and I'm missing #CortexRPG and #Ironsworn for their GM support!
The traditional #TTRPG has rules, guides, and character sheets only for the players, leaving GMs with advice that amounts to "do a good job."
Heck, even #5e has the "adventuring day" budget, but […]
I hate high-pressure tactics for getting to people to buy a thing, but if you don't go pickup Miriam's adventure this very minute you're a useless loser who hates fun.
(Especially since the money goes towards a good cause.)

#TorchLite is out! Somehow, this customizable, narrative pulp-fantasy #TTRPG, focused on character development & compelling stories of action & exploration (compatible w/ #CortexRPG) feels like the culmination of my 8 yrs creating for #dnd5e.
For your consideration at xineink.itch.io/torchlite
Header with Torchlite logo reads: Torchlite Gives You Options Body reads: 9 Peoples x 9 Professions x 9 Personas Then it provides examples of characters: Scheming Elf Fighter, Mercenary Ork Hexknight, Valiant Feyblooded Paladin, Mystical Human Cipher 729 starting character combinations in Torchlite, and that's before you start customizing!

Teaser of our new #TTRPG TorchLite previewing our starting character options. If you want, you can make a full TorchLite character in moments by picking three options off three lists...

If you're at #BigBadCon, and not booked solid, come check out pirateROBO, my #CortexRPG game post-apocalyptic guerrilla mech #CortexRPG setting.
One aspect of #CortexRPG that I love is you can put anything you really want in the text of a trait, but it will always have the weight it's assigned in accordance with the appropriate stat distribution.
The result is that you can have Superman go up against J. Jonah Jameson and it will be a […]
If you can make it to the #SanFrancisco #SF #BayArea and like playing #TTRPGs and live action games, join me at #BigBadCon24 October 24th — October 27th!
I'll be running a #CortexRPG game called pirateROBO in which you play as giant fighting robot pilots at the end of the world. Come be at my […]
Timezone overlap showing PST, Berlin, and Auckland. They only share one tolerable hour.
Ok, if you'd like to play a #TTRPG I'm running, I'm going to do a couple sessions of pirateROBO, a post-apocalyptic mecha game. It's going to be equal parts combat and social encounters, but don't worry about the mechanics: the #CortexRPG system is just handfuls […]
[Original post on dice.camp]
I would love to play a #TTRPG of #MicroscopeRPG that used #CortexRPG for its **scenes**. Cortex games aren't "balanced," and there's hardly any power progression at all. Instead, characters might change how they prioritize values, skills, or relationships over time. Microscope games span […]
In #CortexRPG:
> When a player rolls a hitch (a 1) on any of their dice, the GM can hand over a ● to create a complication. This doesn’t affect the success or failure of the roll—a complication means something else has gone wrong, making life difficult.

My weekly #TTRPG is slowly succumbing to the entropy of scheduling issues and is going dormant over the summer so. I don't want to spin up something really involved so I'm considering some #TalesOfXadia or other #CortexRPG one shots, probably the end of June/ first week of July.
Well, if nothing else, the numbers on the website don't lie. There's still life and interest in #CortexRPG. Post-Elon I've been struggling to maintain numbers, having lost Twitter as an effective medium, and now my site has hit my monthly view goal with almost two weeks to spare. #TTRPG
The article on #CortexRPG is doing heavy numbers, and if you missed it, you can find it here and join me in looking at what happened to the promising #TTRPG. At this rate, I may do an AAR for it in a followup article.
