Here's a rough overview of the faction framework, as it relates rogues, factions ("crews"), and locations ("haunts").

Lots of inspiration from ttrpgs: #bladesinthedark #heartthecitybeneath #blissstage #dresdenfilesrpg #mouseguard and #fiasco

Rough draft relationship diagram describing connections between game components: city, society, culture, community, district, status quo, affiliation, crew, haunt, persona, circle, rogue, crew-member, relationship, and sentiment.

"Scariest game you've played?"

This is probably going to come across as very strange, but it was a convention game I ran of #BlissStage.

Not because of the inherent horror elements. While there are a significant number of horror elements in BS, they provided the general mood of ominous oppression – which led to the real horror.

Characters with real emotional vulnerability.

"Game you'd like a new edition of?"

Interestingly, answering someone else's question earlier today run reminded me specifically of a game that I would love to see a new addition enough – or more accurately, the actually completed edition that we were promised back in the day.

#BlissStage which is one of my favorite RPG designs of all time and one of the few I've gone out of my way to run at conventions.

@BardicInquiry Personally, I love tactical combat especially when it comes to giant robots. And Lancer does tactical combat pretty well, especially given the mechanical systems from which it derives which aren't exactly known for their tactical focus.

If you would like to do giant robots and intensity but without a big focus on tactical combat, you might want to look into #BlissStage which puts its emphasis on relationships in a very literal way.

@Nasher B ? C'est chaud ça. Je pourrais parler de #BurningWheel, mais je n'y ai jamais joué, la lecture des règles m'a découragé. Et je ne vois rien d'autres dans ma bibliothèque de #JDR... Il y aurait bien #BlissStage ou #BluebeardsBride sur lequel je lorgne depuis longtemps, mais sans les avoir lus, difficile à dire...
Côté #plateau, je dirais #BattlestarGalactica, je n'y ai joué qu'une fois, mais j'ai été impressionné par le jeu.
