What are some podcasts that talk about indie games/pbta/story games and stuff?
I used to hear about things from the Jankcast (their old AW actual play really helped the game click for me) but they’ve been dead for ages and I haven’t replaced it in my listening.
I know there are a ton of OSR/D&D ones, but I want something that will talk about stuff like Good Society and Masks and Stonetop and stuff.

Boosts needed! Posting elsewhere needed!
It’s super hard to get attention for a KS campaign when you aren’t shelling out hundreds for advertising.
I like jim’s Protocol games, they are fantastic one shot story games.
One of the new ones is an alternate version of Home, one of my favorites. I’m also really curious about Black Monk.

Been thinking about hacking together a lighter rpg for the barracks drama of a mechwarrior campaign. Use Alpha Strike for the skirmishes, but something more story game for the outside the mech RP.
Games to look at for inspiration, Night Witches, Last Fleet, Lancer, Beam Saber.

Me: What are some good Forged in the Dark cyberpunk games?
Discord: CBR+PNK or a|state.
Me: I think I picked up a|state.
Me: Oh look, there’s my shrink wrapped collectors edition on the shelf.
😅
I may have a KS problem.

Theoretically I love the idea of a Forged in the Dark game of Ghost in the Shell. Anyone have a read on whether it will be good?

@IcarusGames here's mine from this week (I guess #FitD counts as #indie):
Cyber trouble - Cyberware for Scum and Villainy https://ambergwitz.itch.io/cyberware-for-scum-and-villainy
and adaption of that for #BladesInTheDark https://ambergwitz.itch.io/blood-alchemy-hullgrafts-ectobrass

Are there any Forged in the Dark games that have contributed open content? I love that the core SRD is CC-BY, but are there any hacks that have opened their additions to further hacking?
I’m seriously thinking about making Blades in the Marsh, but I’m curious what else I can build from in a licensed way.

Another in-person playtest complete for An Empire Divided (working title), the Romance of the Three Kingdoms-inspired FitD.
This time I added character creation and a real faction playbook for the first time!

Blades in the Dark Session Report:
A simple heist - infiltrate the Supply Warehouse, poison the Cheese so that the crew of the salvage ship are struck down with "The Green Curse"!.
All goes well, until the *real* curse arrives - a half-form Tycherosi demon-engine, hungry to be made flesh!
I forced it back into slumber... for now... but it has my scent... -

So I'm still not 100% convinced how much I enjoy running Forged in the Dark from a GMing perspective, but I've had two different one shots for two different groups foster fail into campaigns in the last few months, so that certainly says something about how they are as a player!

I think there is a pretty big sandbox campaign structure in Scum and Villainy, with the clocks, factions, heat, and entanglements. But I might need more actual experience with the game to really grasp its full extend and potential.

While thinking about how to set up a custom world for #ScumAndVillainy, it occured to me that the game is inherently designed for sandbox campaigns.
You're just not exploring hexes on a map, but instead interacting with and navigating the factions. Which is why the Procyon Sector has 36 of them. With every job, you can improve your standing with one faction while decreasing it with another faction. You can't step anywhere without stirring up the system of relationships. -

While I love making my own settings for #ttrpg campaigns, I find the Procyon Sector from the #ScumAndVillainy rulebook quite impressive.
It's only 47 pages in a giant font (I'd say 10-12 pages in a D&D book). It has 12 planets, that come to one paragraph worth of description each. And 36 factions! That each get three or four sentences of description each.
And somehow this works! I feel I understand this world and its complex power dynamics, and could run a great game with just this.

So many #FitD RPGs, and not one about adventurers going into dungeons to raise treasures.
One would think there would be a big demand for that.
But I guess it's difficult to make a game that goes completely against the structure of D&D-style games while matching the fiction of D&D.

Scum and Villainy is so hard to learn...

Some insight into FitD Action Roll difficulty
https://spriggans-den.com/2025/04/20/some-insight-into-fitd-action-roll-difficulty/
-
@blackcoat And of course, you can always trade position for effect. That might actually be a much more important mechanic than I thought.
A quick Flashback can easily get you Increased Effect, which you can trade to change the Position to Risky or even Controlled.
If your action has a Controlled Position, you can't really screw it up. You always have the choice to just try something else when you fail.
-
It's just becoming clear to me that any circumstantial advantages or disadvantages in Blades in the Dark and Scum and Villainy only impact the Effect level of a successful action roll, but not the chance of getting a success.
Success chance is only increased by Pushing Yourself, using a Gambit, or getting Assistance from another character.It will take some time to wrap my head around how to apply that in practice.
