Late to the party: RPGaDay 2019 prompt 5

"Space" Ah space. My old nemesis. I'll tell a couple of stories for this one I think. When I was working on the Ginnungagap, I started trying to think of justifications of why firearms might not do a lot of damage. My best answer was 'space'.If you're running around in a spaceship with some kind … Continue reading Late to the party: RPGaDay 2019 prompt 5

Quick rules changes of the Ginnungagap

So, some quick changes and additions: Honour stat - because I feel like it will be important to the setting. I need to work on appropriate tests for it. It will definitely be important with dealing with gods...(Yeah, just going to leave that hook hanging there) Additional skills - Computer Use, Engineering, Navigate/Pilot (I haven't … Continue reading Quick rules changes of the Ginnungagap

Classes of the Ginnungagap

I've been reading around what other people have worked into sci-fi D&D rules around the internet, and I'll be pinching and tweaking and fiddling as I go.

The Lagrange habitats have been built in cooperation between the Megacorps, governments and the UN to provide humanity's first foothold in … Continue reading L is for: Lagrange Stations

First experiences with Traveller

I know I said I'd recap Dresden. I promise this will happen. It's just not happening today.This week it was decided that I'd run something, rather than just play along. Great says I, I have many of these things which people call ideas. Here are some of them. And then the players picked them apart, … Continue reading First experiences with Traveller
