The Mabinogion.

Name of the Wind

He's a mad Commie but China Mieville's worldbuilding via implication in Perdido Street Station is a pretty interesting comparison and contrast to Tolkien's worldbuilding.

There aren't very many good space games, unfortunately. And it's difficult to say what you will like when I don't know what games you have played, which ones you liked, why you liked them, and how open or closed you are to trying systems that are very different from what you've tried before.

People are going to recommend Traveller. It is okay, but very old school. Huge amounts of crunch, high lethality, low to mid level character capability, and a focus on trade and economics over combat or exploration. If you like super crunchy systems like GURPS, you will probably enjoy it. If you like simpler, more modern style systems, you probably won't.

People will recommend Stars Without Number. It is pretty much dungeons and dragons in space. You will either love it or hate it based on your opinion of the d20 system.

There is the Firefly system, three Star Wars systems, a few Star Trek systems, and a ton of 40k systems, all of which are very, very bad. I would avoid those like the plague.

Barbarians of the Void, the Savage Worlds sci fi companion, and Bulldogs are all okayish.

>>55163733
I've mostly played DnD so I will definitely look into Stars Without Number, thank you for your help!

I honestly don't remember if Mindjammer have exploration mechanics but I'd like to mention it anyway.

The white scars, for being literally the lamest legion. I thought having your entire army on bikes was cool before I actually checked them out. This video alone is the only amusing thing related to the khan.

You for watching some reddit video.

Boy for being so cute.

Partly it's a means of creative expression. I like making them and I like seeing players get into something I've made myself, going to places I designed, interacting with NPCs I created, getting killed by security measures I put there, etc.

And partly it's because I don't like premade adventures. Even the better ones tend to be railroady and packed with cliche.

Usually there's a set theme or concept I find interesting, and from there I create a campaign that will best explore that theme through the narrative and encounters the players face. It can be as big as exploring Sins of The Father or the manipulation of good will, or as simple as a grindhouse adventure with lots of figthin'.

>>55162633
Sure, of course, but what inspires you, what gives you the ideas that you express creatively?

As a short arc or single session in the midst of an ongoing campaign. Having spent time with the PCs you'll have been able to pick up on their deep personal flaws and then you extrapolate on that.

Just about anyone can DM.
All a person needs to do is find out where their strengths are and to play to them.

Some people are better at designing dungeons, other people are better at making fun NPCs, and some people are just best at letting their players run the show while they just act as the referee. If a person wants to DM, they've already cleared the hardest hurdle, and everything beyond that is just a matter of learning about themselves and their groups.

Steve Blum with on Talks Machina with Mary. Is he in too or just happened to be with her at the time?

I wanna see where Sam takes the one shot and what he does with it. I'm thinking he's gonna do something more fun and light. (kinda opposite what Liam did with his one-shot)

>too cynical and angst
I've never taken Mills seriously in any of his works.
For me he just enjoys over-the-top nastiness, without much of a message behind it.

We usually make a strawpoll for our games to decide setting, factions and themes. But we've played together for something like ten years, so it's rare that we don't like what the others propose.
I did a Mass Effect short campaign that I wasn't happy about in the beginning because they asked me to, but in the end it was ok. It was just a paintjob over DH, a system we were all familiar with, so it ran flawlessly.

What does he want to play? Vampire knights? Rebels? Faction leaders? Zombies just trying to survive? Humans in the real world in contact with Ressurection?

Had two plebs in my gaming circle try to get me to run DnD 5e. I said I'd consider running it if we did it in Dark Sun, but they noped that immediately. "Can't we just have like a normal setting anon?". 'Normal' turned out to be either Greyhawk or FR, the most generic DnD settings going. I said I had no motivation to do anything with those settings and said they should find someone else or try GMing themselves. They sulked and said there was no-one else available, they couldn't do it themselves, why can't I just do it, blah blah, but they gave up pretty quickly and without drama. They're currently playing in a cringelord game of PF being run by someone else and they've told me it's a bit too exotic for their tastes. I honestly don't know what to do with some people.

>run it themselves
I mean, I get not wanting to run a certain type of game, but that doesn't solve anyone's problem. I would know. I constantly run games because I WANT to PLAY in a game with a different setting than generic D&D or Star Wars. It leaves me, the GM, longing to actually play and my group's plebeian other GM not taking the game seriously and acting like a fucking loony tunes character
