So, I'm in the process of starting a new #ttrpg gaming group playing in #theexpanse world using #yze #yzengine mainly based on #AlienRPG .

Just a quick question to all the #DM #GM out there;

What are your favourite way of starting a new party? Do you want them to be friends since before or strangers? How do you do it?

I have realized that I like to force them together via external danger that they have to overcome together.

My first campaign after 18 years of #norpg I used just that one, throwing all players in jail with orders of execution the next day. They where ofc innocent and the local sheriff was bribed by the #bbeg to kill them. And phase one of that campaign was to figure out why and stop the BBEG from trying to kill them 😎

In this upcoming Expanse campaign, the players will start out on Eros and need to co-operate to escape before they gets infected.

It will be fun to discover how they will escape 😁

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?

ça fait un moment que j'ai envie de m'essayer au moteur #YearZeroEngine 🎲.
Je me dit que ce livret de découverte déniché pour moins de 10€ chez mon dealer préféré est une bonne occasion de le faire 🙂
