Thanks! Will check out this system might be good for con games to. Also, always good to see groups co-gming I think it works out well and keeps burnout at the bay :)
Hello! Promise no malice intended.
I was just playing around with the app and noticed duckduck go blocking a ton of new tracking attempts.
I can only go by what was stated in the app as “attempts” hence my post.
Someone who understand how duckduckgos tracking blocker work might know better however. Perhaps you are 100% right.
Also I am very happy to run a one shot online for you and your group! I can do a solid one in 4 hours and should help you see if it’s worth your time. :)
Cool glad to help. I played Red as well and while its perfectly fine, I felt it was just too much mechanics that get in the way of the story.
Note on Sprawl: default system is deadly and high chance of body parts blown off or death it’s gritty but you can adjust to your taste. Embrace the chaos. Also stick to mission structure for first few games, a narrative will emerge naturally that just fits and you will know it, and that you can build into a campain around. Scary to start that way but it works well!
As for PBtA in general it (for me at least) took a bit to grok how to run it. Once it clicked and I realized I didn’t need a ton of detailed prep, just going with the flow in game, and then putting my prep into vectors of story and world-building, and character complications, I feel in love. Your not making plot details, your adjusting around player decisions and adding complications… It’s a very diffeent take for me.
There is a good actual play for the Sprawl that was a good primer to see how it works. Let me dig that up.
Also this video is good too! Adam is a dbag for other reasons but this advise is solid https://youtu.be/xBkMOsZ7KDo
I love cyberpunk and have run many different systems and settings over the years. A few years ago I picked up The Sprawl a PBtA book and it clicked. Of course very narrative but with the cyberpunk stuff you want- hacking, gear, cyberware but without a ton of book keeping.
Is it perfect? No, but it’s a good fit if you like to narrative games. It’s default is mission based gameplay, but have done several campains breaking out of that mission structure. Doing a Shadowrun campain right now :)
I can’t recommend it enought! DM me happy to chat more!
He is dangerous. I don’t nessesary disagree with everything he says, but this mindset is institutionalizing dangerous non science based decision making.
Then general state of the country has me very concerned. Only thing I can do is try to educate and vote.
PS: glad to have a new politics community to visit since I left reddit
Well I hope they stay safe 😳
Well crap I just got mine… Should have know that last sale was too good to be true.
