Hi Zagorath! Thank you kindly for taking another look and your feedback is good. I just had the time to include the changes, it works better now! Thanks!

Interesting. Would be fun to have it added to a traditional DnD campaign.

You don't even need to have someone else running their character. Just say that the character is busy/drunk/sick whatever match their role-play. Or simply have an agreement with the PC that despite being *unrealistic* for the sake of the game, nobody will wonder why a character can be absent in the middle of space or a dungeon without any justification. I understand that in game with a big focus on party balance/tactic it may-be different but this kind of the game is the exception not hte norm

It's worse than that. The original announcements said a 75% increase but the math didn't add up. I'd just be aware that soon prices will likely increase.

Ooo I'll have to give these a listen

Honestly unsure if this is a positive review or not...

Not a bad review, but I disagree with some of your conclusions. The Auran Empire bits are easy enough to remove or modify into something else. In my opinion ACKSII makes for one of the best of the B/X D&D derived neo-clones, especially if you like lots of simulation to drive game world verisimilitude.

This has nothing to do with builds. Fate, the game I said I'd play, doesn't really have builds. This is all about not wanting to have to spend a lot of time arguing with people, or playing a game I don't like. Those are the two most likely outcomes. People will propose bad rules, and we either argue or I suck it up. There are so many common ideas in RPGs that I really don't enjoy, but are popular nonetheless. I don't want to stop the game and argue that "save or die" kind of sucks, and if we kill Alex's character now like that a. they're probably going to be unhappy just look at their face and b. what are they going to do the rest of the night? (Or I'll propose rules that won't achieve the desired goals very well, because I'm also not such a good designer I can nail things on the first try) Maybe with some hypothetical spherical frictionless group of players that are all on the same page about rules and design it would be fun. But that doesn't seem to exist in the real world. We live in a world where people go "Let's use D&D for a game of political intrigue! Wait, why does the fighter barely have anything to do and gets bad results on every check he does make? Why weren't they scared when the antagonist pulled a knife on them??"

Great Idea. I’ll put it into my notes. Thanks for the help !

Here is our latest poster: 

Shadowrun 1E. Yes, I am _that_ old.

Best of luck to you. I think my code is quite messy but if you can use any of it, feel free!

- Fantasy - D&D 5.0 for the most part, but we are having a good time with DragonBane - Space Opera - FFG Star Wars. Yeah, the dice are a bit rough to get used to after D20 systems and people find it rather "swingy," but I think it is pretty good - Heroes / Avatar (TLAB) - Prowlers and Paragons (Ultimate Edition) - Horror - I think the last time we played a horror game it was Dark Conspiracy - Cyberpunk - Shadowrun. I haven't played 6e or Anarchy, but I have played 1e - 5e. Looking forward to trying Cy-Borg at some point.

Yeah, it was really a challenge to do that at first but when everyone agreed that our planning took too long and we decided to do this, it has become quite routine for us to notice when planning triggers the information gathering phase. And as players are getting more familiar with this, their planning has changed as well. The focus of planning is now more about coming up with relevant sources of information than trying to anticipate the future.

3:16 and Mothership as a Gm. Always eager to try whatever else people in my group want to run.

Concerning decoupling clues from locations, though, that only sometimes makes sense. It's commonplace for the intersection of a piece of evidence to only be meaningful in a particular context, and sometimes that context is the location in which it's found.That being said, if you can't move a clue, it becomes more important to make sure there are multiple ways to learn about it. Maybe if the PCs don't see the muddy footprint in the garden, the gardener did.
