@dreamup so the pseudo medieval fantasy is more accessibile but not in the sense of the worl-building but in the sense what we want to achieve gaming in it. Or anyway this is my impression.
I'm on Mastodon mainly to speak about tabletop role-playing games and other nerdy stuff. I've played d&d, cyberpunk 2020, gurps, esoterrorists , primetime adventures, archipelago, shock, ribbon drive, heroquest/herowars and many other indie and forge influenced rpgs. I'm not a native English speaker.

@dreamup Trivially, let us not neglect the reality escape effect (which I do not want to connote as negative). Easier in an idealized past than in a future that for historical and cultural reasons the media (books, movies, comics) tend to present as problematic. In short, so much science fiction about the future, talks about the problems of today. So much other science fiction is pure escapism. But how much fantasy talks about a pseudo past to talk about the problems of today?

I'm not a fan of journaling games, this offshoot of solo gdr. They're simply not for me.
And yet I want to point out this one: the last Moon. Because in addition to being a journaling game it is also a video game, or at least it is offered in the video game format.
In my ignorance of the video game world, and partially but not too much of journaling games, this is the first time I have encountered something like this.
I find it interesting.

"Regency is a tabletop roleplaying game of high society maneuvering and romance set against an inspired world of classic period tropes and darling adventures. Players will take on various roles within their family and navigate a world of gossip, beauty, affairs of the heart, and duties of their social station."
@gunnar In an eventual trial you would only have extenuating circumstances if you had used real mozzarella as a base.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a guy who's okay with pineapple pizza! Clearly this is not something I openly tell my friends, colleagues and relatives. At the risk of my physical safety ๐ . They already tolerate that I only drink beer and not wine, I don't want to risk it anymore.
@gunnar The feta would seem strange to most but would probably be tolerated by the most innovative.
Pomegranate and cilantro, on the other hand, would cause serious riots!
@gunnar Okay, just for kidding: I think that combination of ingredients violates some of the basic unwritten rules of coexistence in my country. If I declared around that that pizza looks good, I would be stripped of my citizenship. Zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, onion are usual ingredients. At least for the classic vegetarian...
@gunnar What ingredients did you use for the dressing? This looks tasty.

Calling for playtesters for Fate of Umdaar

@lealternative foxit Reader su Android? Lo uso abitualmente al posto degli altri Reader. Fondamentale per me la funzione di adattamento dinamico sul cellulare. Comunque a questo punto darรฒ un'occhiata anche a librera. Grazie delle segnalazioni. Come sempre!
@Canageek I guess you didn't have to do the character sheet otherwise sleep would have arrived much earlier ๐ .
Despite the fact that gurps is no longer the type of rpg I play now, I remember the sessions I did with pleasure. And as much as making a character sheet gave a certain satisfaction it was also a challenging activity if you wanted to customize everything.
@dreamup @nickwedig @DanMaruschak it is better for them to have it if they value their safety. I want to clarify that this is in no way a threat to friends and relatives ๐.
@nickwedig @DanMaruschak One caveat. I think it's still useful to put your own productions online as well. Even just on a forum or social (open of course). So one day a surfer passing by who needs just what we have created could stumble upon it even if only by accident.
@nickwedig @DanMaruschak I completely agree with this approach, even from a broader perspective. At the end of the day, it is important to produce "stuff" for our closest community. If our accomplishments then extend to a wider audience, all the better! But that's not a necessary thing.
@jrmariano it's a pretty big list! And it surprised me because usually I know 90% of the titles cited on Gizmodo. Expecially if we speak about not traditional and indie rpgs. In this case I don't know many titles and I supposte that many of them, considering the theme, have also not traditional mechanics.
I want to play it right away! "murder she wrote" + a little of cthulhu + cozy atmosphere + a mistery generation procedure!
