I've been fooling around with making a character sheet for Stars Without Number in Google Docs. I've got it mostly blocked out, just need to plug in a bunch of formulas to automate it. Ideally I'll have vehicle, spacecraft, and faction sheets finished as well before I start the game up.

A Mini Six setting that involves anthropomorphic kemono cats piloting airships to discover floating landmasses and fight sky pirates.

I've been working on designing a monster for the group to encounter in an underground cave. What I've got is like an living cave cleaning system that was left over by the previous settlers of the area that they used to clear out cave systems of lesser creatures that eventually got released on some of the cave workers and is now possessed by all their souls. Think like a living wave of lava full of ghosts.

Developing an urban fantasy, gothic noir style RPG. Been working on it for the better part of a year.

Well shit, that's an ambitious project. The setting (or at least the bare-bones I've read of it in the last five minutes) is interesting, the core resolution mechanic is simple enough. I like it so far.

On a less important note, I like the in-universe explanation for why different bestiary illustrations are in different art styles. That's a practical idea that takes what could be a downside (with the art style differing drastically between entries) and turns it into a nifty little quirk of the setting. Clever.

Way to work with what you've got man. A zero-budget fully illustrated RPG has got to be a pain in the ass to get off the ground, but it looks like you're doing it. And kudos to the artists that have contributed so far.

>a gurps campaign for medium magic medieval fantasy with built in spell creation rules.

Just started working on a potential Call of Cthulhu campaign for some friends. Starting point was no existing mythos monsters (to nerf OOC knowledge and because I'm tired of all the goddamn tentacles), and a sprinkling of influence from Arthur C. Clarke. I ended up pretty solidly nailing down my antagonists, at least.

The idea is that it's about the year 2500, and the Solar System has been colonized Cowboy Bebop-style via stable warp tunnels. Outside exploration has been tried, but generally in secret, and never successfully. One early generation ship sent out around 2300 got tangled up in Serious Mythos Bullshit. The crew survived and adapted, in the process becoming terrible monsters in their own right, amalgamated creatures of black science and mutated flesh obscured by localized warp bubbles. The search for more advantages leads them to attack other ships and incorporate them into the hulk that was their vessel. Given the nature of space travel in a mythos galaxy, this means that their ship is essentially a huge clusterfuck of asteroids, mega-structures, gross H.R. Geiger tech, and the dead or dying husks of outer beings.

And then some poor fucks in a merchant hauler go way off course when their warp tunnel fails, and meet the horrid thing in interstellar space. Have fun.

I'm going to take a lot of liberty with the setting to try and make it fun, but now I'm autistically trying to divide classes between guilds that could favor them for crunch bonuses and it's a bit of a bitch.

Currently prototyping a text-based spaceship crew game played in the web browser (intended for mobile, but desktop too), with a GM able to send push notifications to players who would play throughout the day by responding to notifications with one of several options and communicating with their crewmates. I see it as a little bit like Farmville where you have to wait X minutes between actions, so you check in periodically as you go about your day. Except unlike Farmville, you might get a notification at a really awkward time because a meteorite just struck your ship.

The idea is to set up a bunch of interlocking systems over time, with hopes of getting emergent gameplay happening like SS13. But for now I'm building around the idea that a GM is giving story prompts and presenting options to the crew so it can be tailored.

The other driving idea behind it is forcing communication. So unlike in a video game where everyone can open a menu and read a status of all the ship's systems, in this you would have to be at the correct station in different parts of the ship to retrieve or input information. That means crew need to relay information back and forth.

Here's a quick example of how I see one aspect working:

>Captain gets a mission prompt from the GM along with some coordinates.
>Captain explains the mission to his crew via the ship's chatroom.
>Captain messages the Pilot to lay in coordinates and prepare to jump.
>Pilot enters the coordinates. Jump computer begins calculating a route (starts a countdown).
>Pilot tells the Engineer to prepare to jump.
>Engineer starts charging the capacitors (starts a different countdown) using the generator and managing coolant.
>Engineer contacts Pilot some time later saying they have enough power to perform a jump.
>Pilot might ask Captain for confirmation, then he performs the jump.
>GM sends the next prompt to keep the story moving.

I'm working on an urban fantasy rpg that uses a personality test to determine the core stats.

Currently working on/prepping for a mishmash of a campaign that combines Chronicles of Darkness with Exalted 3e and puts them both in a space opera setting.

Been working on a one-off session of fantasycraft to see if I can get my friends into it. Decided that, rather than making them go through theprocess of character creation I had them give me ideas for a character and I worked from there (also I'm new to the system myself so going through character design helps smooth the finer rules out). As it stands we have a burglar with no dex (pretty much a mugger), an unscrupulous explorer, an alchemist, a golem priest and the trash man. No, seriously, he just straight up told me to make danny devito. I hope the dwarven fort save is high enough for eating solely garbage.

Far as setting goes I've drawn up a fairly generic set of god's and some eastern-style history. Basically there's very few adventurer's since the land is pretty safe, so these oddjob mercenaries are the only hope for a small village when their livestock start being driven mad by a curse. Not only that, a group of thieves are using the opportunity to steal an important relic from the ongoing festival in town.

Good times will hopefully be had and with any luck there'll be room/purpose for a sequel.

I'm kind of trying to make up some shooty combat rules that I'd enjoy and that wouldn't be too much of a horrible clusterfuck. I'm kinda trying to build it basing off fallout, but keeping it setting-agnostic. I'm not very satisfied with the results so far and I don't have anyone to playtest with either, but at least it's nothing more than a silly thing I picked up out of boredom.

>>48909124
That is a really nice character sheet anon. Good work.

Not really. The "going out and doing shit" bits are RPG, the "building up a base" bits are... kinda like a boardgame. Only you draw everything on a big piece of paper as you go.

I'd better come up with a better explanation for all this if I ever want to market this thing, huh?

I finallly got over the fact that whatever i write, someone far more talented has written it. So I write my own system and fluff using the good ideas from everywhere and considering the limitations I have (roll20 only, weekly 2h30 sessions, no deep/complex rules, final destination)

The point of the project is to have a post apocalyptic low-tech high-horror roll20 game going for months, doing atomic sessions (rewards can be had every-ish session). I plan to have solid rules using spreadsheets and boring numbers but only backend. When players have to roll, I'll check the rules and their stats and just tell which dice and threshold. My players like this kind of game (a light-but-still-solid-system feeling). If they have a bad feeling about this they can check the spreadsheets (good luck on them, there is basically 6 walls of numbers in development).

To go with the roll20 web app i'm finishing a personal website (old laptop + ubuntu serv + django) where you can check the last sessions history, NPC backstories and post personal notes on them. So they can have the website on another tab (or on their phone) while they play and do roleplay.

I also set up a teamspeak on the serv with a music soundboard addon so I can stream my music while talking, I love it.

I've been pondering about a game where you build, run and protect a dungeon as a council of small dark overlords.
I was hit by a flash of nostalgia by dungeon keeper. It's still in its early stages as I'm trying to figure out how the building/roleplaying/defending phases would work, where the focus of the game should be and what rules I'd use. It could become an RPG-skirmish hybrid.

Thanks for the validation. Nothing produced yet, early days (had the idea earlier this week) and I'm reluctant to start the actual project before locking down the scope. I just want to build a Minimum Viable Product so I can play with some friends to test assumptions and make sure the idea is actually fun. I've shared my notes with 3 or 4 different people so far and got some positive feedback and more ideas, but vague ideas and plans aren't the same as a spec.

I have started building some demos this weekend to figure out how I want to handle push notifications and serviceworkers. All going smoothly, can't see any flaws with this approach. I realised that I could create a "Notifiable" interface and let the user choose their notification preferences too, so SMS (twilio) and email (mailjet) are options I want to implement too.

I will put anything I do on GitHub eventually, but it's got all my personal details on so don't want to share it publicly. Here's a temp forwarder, drop me an email if you wanna see my full set of notes or send me your ideas: [email protected]

Pls, I need concrete ideas not these vague scribbles in my notebook.

>>48918601
>>48918922
My first thought too.

>>48908847
I've got two homebrew projects in the works that I revisited after two or three years of not touching them.

The first one was an attempt at writing a Mega Man X tabletop RPG. I've since scrapped the Mega Man X part and have decided to make it original donut steel robots vs other robots soft scifi. The second project began as an attempt to update Star Wars RPG Saga Edition with D&D 5e's rules, but I'm changing it to an original space fantasy setting that includes cybernetics, psionics, magic, and robots. I might end up combining them into one project with the way things are going.

My main issue is that I'm just not satisfied with the resolution mechanics. I'm tempted to go with 3d6 for that sweet sweet bell curve, but I've been playing D&D in one form or another since 1995, so my brain feels like it's hard-wired to think in d20. I think I need to break out of that mindset by reading and playing some non-d20 games.

A savage worlds rippers campaign. Not sure what the overall campaign will be, but it's set in an idyllic country village with the lodge leader being a peppery old ex-colonel from the Anglo Zulu and boer war. The tone is going to be pretty grim dark (I'm a sucker for a small resistance desperately struggling against a overwhelming force in a shadow war).

Don't do this. Flavortext related.

A generic campaign and setting. I'm trying to keep it loose but coming up with adventure hooks and making the world seem "real enough" to me is really, really hard. It'll never see the light of day at this rate.

>>48923417
What I'd do in that anon's shoes is, for each class, make a one or two alternate subclasses for each class that flavorfully connect with a particular guild, but note that most classes could fit in any guild and note what other guilds particular existing subclasses would be appropriate for.

>>48917208
>Couldn't you do something like make a grid and then print tiles? Make it sort of tower defense-ish?

Definitely something to try if the game itself actually turns out at all fun.

Struggling to come up with challenges other than fights to give to my players for UN-backed supers game.

I had them draw a country out of a hat and roll up their character based on that. Even threw some weirdo shit like Gorilla City, Atlantis and the moon. Sadly nobody drew anything weirder than Finland but it's all good.

I threw some skill challenges at them, and they either didn't like them (putting war profiteering super villains on trial, negotiating peace treaties), struggled (infiltrating super villain auction), or aced them with barley a roll (starving nation instantly fed by santa's son using Chrismas Magic to make every family a Christmas roast + cookies and milk in the twinkle of an eye).

On the other hand the 2 combat monkies like big fights a lot, and everyone is just pleased to role play and enjoy the humor of stuff like Sasquatch actually being a climate change activist. But I feel like it's gonna get real stale real quick if it's just fights and everyone laughing at the se two ranger being disappointed in the lack of posing and special-attack-declarations of his teammates.

I'm also getting no really interested in running Star Wars again, either EotE or the rebel one in time for rogue one

A multidimensional conflict between two cosmic forces that can very broadly be called good and evil, drawing from Zoroastrian and other middle eastern belief systems and myths.

I hope to make it a series of books. The first one is set in our world, so you could call it Urban Fantasy but I associate that word too much with detective wizards in trench coats. I think of it as Dark Fantasy.

It starts with a group of kids getting drafted into this war, but the plan is to follow them into adulthood and their eventual deaths.

If I had to do one of those 'it's like x, but y' comparisons, it would be like if Michael Moorcock or Dark Tower Stephen King wrote Animorphs.

Creating a system that can handle the 2 weapon choices system of The Secret World and translating the skills from the MMO into pen and paper version.

>>48935839
Never played SW. What are the weapon system and skills like?

>>48937398
Basically you can choose 2 weapons out of 9 (melee containing blades, fists and hammers, ranged containing shotguns, assault rifles and pistols, magic containing blood magic, chaos magic and elemental magic) You can pick and choose 7 active abilities and 7 passive abilities to be on at any current time. You can buy abilities with ability points you earn with experience.

I'm trying to find a way to group up the abilities from the game so that player characters could pick bigger chunks at a time so that every session won't have 5+ different leveling up breaks.

>>48937860
Forgot to mention that the abilities you can use have to be connected to either one of the two weapons you have chosen.

>>48937860
>>48937398
>>48937903
Not the paper system anon

You can also buy basically any skills with those skills points.

Like starting as a blood mage using shotguns, and later use skills related to hammers or swords, or whatever.

No classes, closest thing there is are "decks" premade combo of skills/abilities and weapons with custom appearance.

I just finished writing up the first, unpolished draft of a pokémon system I've been thinking up. I wanted the depth of choice and strategy of PTU but cut out the slow crunch. I'm not sure how successful I've been, as I haven't run a playtest on it yet.

To accomplish this, I've focused on three things.
>Almost all rolls are a single d6
The only exceptions will be some lategame Moves that let you roll two and keep either.
>Damage is rolled into your attack roll
One roll that determines hit chance and how hard you hit, minus a flat number for defenses.
>Low numbers only
To greatly speed up calculation.

My worry is that there's still some slowdown, because you have to decide BN, then roll, then calculate the resulting damage, then subtract defenses. I'm not quite sure how I could cut it down more without dropping mechanics.

I also had some other goals with the system besides the main objectives.
>Have a wide range of customizability, without fully sacrificing the 'identity' of individual pokémon.
Stats can be built out in any way, though Abilities and Moves will be the same.
>Have any combination of stats be a unique, at least somewhat-viable playstyle.
This mainly comes up with those that don't build any attacking stats. I decided to have their 'thing' be status moves and maneuvers, so the active part of the playstyle has them running support.
>A tradeoff between combat and noncombat prowess, with organically-growing skills
By which I mean, the more you try a Specialization, the better you get at it by learning from failure and success.
>Cut out huge lists but maintain depth of choice
Failed, so far.

For now I've decided to make the Pokédex and Abilities/Moves in a separate pdf, and if I finish them put everything together in one big file with the reference material also in their own things. I'm barely sure how exactly I'm going to handle high-power humans, so I'm putting it off for now by putting that in its own pdf as well.

Any thoughts on anything?

Working through the entire Mignolaverse to write up a campaign that will possibly run from the Gall Dennar's era in prehistoric times up through the modern age. The players will essentially be the B-team to Hellboy's A-team.

This is really cool, keep at it.

I have one thought on the whole thing: type matchups. You write "There are many charts out there for this kind of thing, and they are already spectacular. Each point of
effectiveness raises the BN by 1, and each point of resistance lowers it by 1; this is Type
Effectiveness." This is really neat, but what about critical hits? I'm not sure if you would add them or not but I do remember them being a really big deal back when I played Fire Red on GBA.

Also, it'd be neat if your players were able to customize their Pokemon. I remember /co/ had a Pokemon rarity template where people created all sorts of neat skins for the animals

I saved one somebody did for Gigalith

I'm working on my homebrew setting and game. I'm trying to decide when to make a blog and stay writing up articles about it, since that's the new thing now to get exposure.

I've been working on a system for RP that is extremely rules light and easy to use. I plan on going into early alpha testing with some family soon. I have a lot of great lore for a specific town so i'm going to base the campaign there and we'll try to work the details of combat as we go. I'm very excited to run the system sense I've tried to develop one that doesn't use dice much. In combat it doesn't use dice at all. If the thread is still up or one like it is I'll post about how it went and what not.

Is anyone interested in hearing some of the details? I plan on releasing it to the public eventually. The goal is to create a system that allows a DM, or just a fan, the ability to mod the rule set into any universe they want to. So if you want to run a high fantasy game, an anime game, and a deep space scifi game, you could run all with the same rules, with different flavor.

lol didn't mean to link that other thread, sorry about that.

My working plan was to drop it from normal play in the interest of keeping it running light, because I couldn't think of a fluid way to put it on all attack rolls. That, and I'm rationalizing that it's somewhat normalized into the variable damage. I'm *definitely* getting a critical hit mechanic in for moves like Slash, though.

Thanks for the feedback!

Currently working on creating another JoJo System using this as a basis:

http://www.tao-games.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/HQRPG.1.0.1.pdf

I'm developing this one over others because this system is well designed for the loose mechanics of Stands, and it's the perfect system to run quests with, as it makes combat a breeze.

Going pretty well so far. Character creation is basically using a point buy system. Stands start out with all stats as C-rank, then you can add or subtract points to raise or lower your pool of points and choose ranks in the stand stats. My only issue is figuring out how many points each rank should cost, and what the starting pool should be.

I played in a longtime Pathfinder game of Ravnica for years until the group drifted apart.
My character was a Selesnya Watchwolf Ranger that was essentially a LG Dire Wolf whose favored weapon/style was his teeth. His rider was a female elven cleric with a lucerne hammer.
Most Guilds favor certain classes and archetypes, but I think it is more important for spells and magic items to be on theme for Guilds.
I am neither a furry nor a powergamer, I just like playing strange characters and my favorite mtg is Watchwolf.

Settling my grandfather's estate, cleaning up the storytime stuff I wrote back when I was drinking heavily, and making a Total Warhammer mod to introduce the heroes from Vermintide. Life is busy.
