Let me see...
We're also currently playing Lancer, which is fun but slow progressing.
Previously we played the Cosmere RPG, because a few of my friends seem to buy everything by Brandon Sanderson.
We played Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (4e). I was a priest of law in a party of vagabonds.
I ran Scum and Villainy (Blades in the Dark but sci-fi). I really liked running that system; I cribbed half the mission ideas from one Iain M Banks book.
-
i must say, the Friends and Rivals system in Blades in the Dark and inspired systems is so useful for a GM, especially if you then let the players tweak each NPC to make them more personal. it's a great way to create recurring characters other than the various factions.

I also distilled the cyberware ideas and the ideas about trouble into separate documents for those who want to use them outside of #ScumAndVillainy. The list of cyberware ideas can be handy for #CBRPNK or any other #cyberpunk #TTRPG both within #FitD and outside of it.
These are only on Itch for now https://ambergwitz.itch.io/cyberware-for-scum-and-villainy -
*Cyber Trouble − Cyberware for Scum and Villainy* is about all the trouble you can get into with cyberware in the game. Rather than arbitrary limits meant to describe how much your cyberware destroys your soul, cyberware means that the corporations owns you. Hence trouble. Check it out here:

So, while the world burns, I'm distracting myself by creating #TTRPG content.
Still writing on #DarkPrecursors for #ScumAndVillainy, but I have also edited and republished the previous #FitD stuff I made last year: -

It's #TTRPGTuesday!
I have a new #characterjournal available on my Ko-fi page for all lupin tier members.
This week in my #ScumandVillainy journals, the #KingfisherCrew are hired to smuggle a drug shipment for a minor noble and unwillingly gain a couple of new crewmembers. 🌌

Literally me making sure there are no inconsistency in the timeline of Iridium Moons, knowing the probabilities are very low that players will ever encounter a single year number.
-
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. -
Trying to relearn the rules of #ScumAndVillainy after two years took me over a week.
Relearning #Dragonbane took me an hour!I remember why I was so taken with it when I first read it. It's only 80 pages, and the main structure of attributes, skills, and hit points is very conventional, making it easy to see the big picture. But its combat, magic, and advancement mechanics still promise a very different and much faster play experience than D&D.
-
@yora You know this rules book you’re reading that you were surprised you couldn’t find a version more recent than thirty years ago? That’s because they changed the title in the latest revision. It’s now called “Lawyers and Insurance.” 😛 #ScumAndVillainy
-
I did it! I've worked myself through the #ScumAndVillainy rulebook front to back, and I think I now understand it and have it memorized enough to run and teach it, without having to look up things. At least until the game would get to the first downtime. 😅
Took me nine days, but I got there.
Though I guess if I wanted to learn D&D from the books, it would take me considerably longer than that.
-
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.

Some insight into FitD Action Roll difficulty
https://spriggans-den.com/2025/04/20/some-insight-into-fitd-action-roll-difficulty/
-
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.
-
#ScumAndVillainy is a great #ttrpg system that covers about anything you could need in one book.
But are there perhaps any kind of resources for GMs for the game anyway? Not necessarily more game material, but also perhaps just enlightening commentaries on things easily missed or overlooked.

Spaceship Doodle.
Initial blockout.
Not sure where I'm going with this one yet.#blender #blender3d #b3d #spaceship #scifi #scumAndVillainy #ttrpg #rpg

Bit more doodle.
Had a go at "engine flames". Not very good.

Doodling again.
Wireframe effect on cockpit
Voronoi (colour) into Brick hull material.

If in doubt, add a Noise Texture!
Cockpit looks a bit cloudy, but that is the Plasma Field protecting the pilot, and relaying sensor data.
Or something...#blender #blender3d #b3d #scumAndVillainy #scifi #spaceship #ttrpg #rpg

Trying to find a way of making a Radial Array of Objects, and placing it on a surface.
So far, Geometry Nodes seem to suit me best.
1) make your spaceship, with slopy bits.
2) make the shape to array onto it
3) Make the rest of the owl!
Erm, i mean make geo Node structure on the item to add.
a) Make a Curve Circle, and Instance Item on Points.
b) Align Rotation to Vector (Normal)
c) plug stuff into Group Inputs/1

Tengu WIP
Still quite a bit of work to do on the front

Working on the "Tengu" from Eve.
I know nothing about Eve, apart from it is about spaceships, and my partner used to play far too much (and DJed on the Official Eve radio station).
So... here's a WIP Spaceship!#blender #blender3d #b3d #scumAndVillainy #eve #eveonline #scifi #spaceship #ttrpg #rpg

Not sure about Wireframe modifier.

Spaceship initial idea.
Following @pidgeon_pete 's suggestion, I'm trying out some Modifiers to base Ships around. This one is "Array".#blender #blender3d #b3d #ttrpg #rpg #scumAndVillainy #scifi #spaceship

Added feature-pack "Random Stuff" :D
I'm slowly getting the hang of this Workflow, but always open to suggestions, (constructive) criticism, opinions, and feedback.

As an early birthday present, "Scum and Villainy" has landed on my hard drive!
I'm hoping to set up a game soon, so expect some Questions, Session Reports, and general Space Opera nonsense!
Plus, it give me an excuse to Blender up some space ships! :)#bladesInTheDark #scumAndVillainy #ttrpg #rpg #blender #blender3d #b3d #spaceOpera

@juergen_hubert I'm going to be playing in a WFRP game in a couple of weeks, having just finished GMing a #ScumAndVillainy game. I'm probably about to find out if the new GM is holding any grudges about what I did to the party in that previous game...
More seriously, I like the range of careers available to WFRP characters and the fact that the 'heroes' are often just assorted doomed nobodies who happen to find themselves in sudden desperate circumstances.

Playing #ScumAndVillainy and think that we've now got the hang of it.

New version of Cyberware for #ScumAndVillainy and #BladesInTheDark https://ambergwitz.itch.io/cyberware-for-scum-and-villainy-and-bitd
It's expanded with examples of cyborgs and consumer cyberware, more ideas and proofreading/editing. The #BitD addendum is also expanded with examples, a new faction for Blood Alchemy and better integration with existing rules for Hullcraft. Free download, feedback welcome.
