#basicroleplaying — Public Fediverse posts

I've been working on a modification of the #YearZeroEngine from #FreeLeaguePublishing to turn it into the engine for my own #TTRPG, which I've been developing over the past couple of years.

It's hard working with only the YZE SRD.

It would be nice if FLP published an actual book for their engine, like Chaosium does with the BRP.

Sadly, because R3DSHIF7 is a story- and character-drama-heavy game that uses D6 dice pools, the #Chaosium #BasicRoleplaying engine wouldn't really fit.

:(

Basic roleplaying: Creatures de @Chaosium comienza a revelar sus secretos. Las estadísticas de un bestiario a veces suenan como poesía. Un conjunto de plantillas que nos muestran de que madera están hechos los monstruos y nos invitan a diseñar criaturas extraordinarias como si fuésemos el mismísimo Dr. Frankenstein. No dejes este libro sobre la mesilla de noche ¡Quien sabe lo que podría deslizarse en tus sueños mientras duermes! #lodelrol #basicroleplaying #brp

I've had my eye on this one for a while, so today when I visited the Scifi bookstore in #Stockholm, I could clearly hear it calling to me. It's not that I want to play it, but it's interesting from a #TTRPG design and historical perspective, especially since it's the root of Drakar och Demoner (Dragonbane) which was my introduction into the TTRPG world back in the 80's.

Das altgediente ElfQuest Rollenspiel aus den 80er Jahren kommt zurück - beim ursprünglichen Verlag @Chaosium!

Die kreativen Köpfe hinter der Comicvorlage - Wendy und Richard Pini - sind anscheinend auch wieder im Boot.

I think I have made a decision.... 😎

In my quest for the best rules (for me) to use when #GMing a #ttrpg in #TheExpanse universe. Got selection down to either #BasicRoleplaying #BRP or #YearZeroEngine #YZE.

And the choice is...

*Drumroll*

#YearZeroEngine

I will base it on #AlienRPG, since talents and skills are best match for Expanse and require least amount of tweaks to be useable.

I'm also fond of #lifepath character generation, so I have created a draft of a flowchart. Now I need to start to assign actual values to the chart and do some beta testing 😎

I wonder if I'll ever will be ready to play 🤣

So, my thoughts about running an #theexpanse #ttrpg campaign is still ongoing.

But I have narrowed down the options to either #YZE or #brp.

Year Zero Engine has games like #AlienRPG, #CoriolisRPG and newly released expansion #AdAstra. For Basic RolePlaying I will have to turn to #CthuhluRising and #CthulhuThroughTheAges with #CthuhluIcarus as main source for rules.

As a DM I tend to let my players do plenty of dice-rolls, which in turn drives the story forward, where failures can be as exciting as successes.... 😎

But YZE punishes dice-rolling and rolling to often can give high amounts of stress to fast.
I can always do non-stress rolls when my players are in a non-stress situation. But on the other hand, BRP doesn't punish rolling. But still have mechanics for pushing failed rolls and the consequences of that 😁

Anyone out there have tried to run YZE with more dice rolling than recommended?

A few more backers and #LightFantasyRPG will reach its first stretch goal and get some more art!
