I liked the magic system. I made like a haunted ghost spirit to keep the place we were going to raid up at night, just coming through the ceiling and bleating in the night. It gave me just enough guidance to be really fun for me while seeming super free form as the shaman (I think)

Finding players for the stuff I run, yes. Finding anyone else that invites you to play a game that is not 5e is unreasonably hard.

Here in Germany you can get black eye groups too, and sometimes cthulu, but those are the main ones

I played starforged, I think that’s the same in space. Been meaning to read and run it ever since but you know how it is…

Especially the solo play the intrigues me.
I steal from the roll tables for that for the games though hehe.

Base ironsworn is free BTW as far as I know, for anyone reading

Wicked ones is excellent! I had a lot of fun with it. Have the hardback physical and love the game.

I heard of that recently! Thanks for reminding me

This is great! The is also a kinda fantasy version in we are champion or sth like that. Great game, the one linked especially!

Is fate intended for a certain kind of setting (fantasy, sci-fi etc) or is it more freeform/fits all?

Man I just might! No hope of winning but looks fun

All I can say is: I’ve been trained for academic writing for like 8 years now, and I still struggle to do it without a good template. Formatting in a text editor is it’s very own skillset IMO.

Most important is to make a skeleton, a loose progression of stuff like
1.X
2.Y
2.1 Z

And look at ONLY that for a while and think ‘what do I want to reach each chapter? Why is this chapter here and not earlier/after? What needs to be said before this can make sense, and is the flow of it logical?
what will be the next question on my readers mind, and does this Adress it?’

Also think about who you are writing for. What do you need to explain, and what can you expect as given etc

Not every dnd does it wrong. I’m pretty sure 4th Ed had it right. Pathfinder and 13th age are also kinda just editions of dnd, and they both have very tight encounter math!

I like the variable turn lengths, that’s a neat system!

I, too, enjoy barbarians of lemuria

No notepad, but an excellent explorative puzzle that had me making and remaking theories the whole time: outer wilds. Several people also mentioned obra dinn

I’ll be having a look at that game, thank you

I hope all have fun with that, but I won’t touch it with my ten foot pole :D

First decide how gamey and mechanic you want it. A tried and tested but fairly prep intensive way is a hexcrawl. Rolling tons of random dice for every travel day can also be a neat way to fill a session! Roll for weather, environment, maybe a big list of random encounters, geographical features, local fauna etc pp. The dice will surprise even you, be ready to improv.

More free form ways would be to make the travel a skillchallenge/extended challenge, or use a montage approach as presented in fellowship or 13th age.

I like to mix and match the last 3 things I mentioned: random rolls, skill challenge and montage. Of course, this heavily depends on gam, too!

City of mist is the answer for you

Excellent work!

I think it’s a very real possiblility the demon characters player might, down the line, decide their guy is rejoining the bad guys. I don’t think I will be hard pressed to motivate the rest, it just would have been more easy/obvious with a pious char I think. Their group patron will be more of a challenge, but I am sure I will manage :) the game makes them tell me what they want to do a lot, so it’s not hard to figure out

It obviously helps tremendously that the players are very motivated and excited to play :)
