I'm sure there's plenty of fun to be had in the Dragon Age setting but the A.G.E. system is nothing special. Although Aniki ran a bunch of The Expanse so maybe he's got some insights to share.
I played in Alice is Missing last night. It's fine. Kinda. The format is you play teens texting each other in a group chat after their friend/sister/crush/girlfriend has gone missing. It's different and fun, but also quite limiting. It's gmless too so the story wrap up is mostly a random card pull. It's fine. I guess.
I plugged my Xbox in and decided not to spend money on the months of Love that I might not use. I bought Pentiment instead.
I was impressed that despite being unplugged for a few months and needing a few updates and a restart today, my game of Crackdown was still paused exactly where I left it in July.
Anyone know of any good deals for Xbox Gamepass Ultimate? I feel like playing some games.
Read
I've been reading quite a lot of RPGs. I feel like I want to lose myself in reading a big RPG and planing out an epic campaign but nothing is quite right. There are so many games now, and so many new games, you'd think I'd be happy, but no, nothing's quite right. I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Probably just nostalgically trying to recapture reading through Earthdawn or Tribe 8 back in the day.
I might give up on reading games, and instead try reading some campaigns. Reach of the Roach God and Beyond Corny Groñ right here. I bought a bundle of Delta Green books which included a few great campaigns. Oh, or the bundle of Paranoia books…
Oh I had a flick through the new 5e books. Not impressed.
Play
I'm currently playing through Luka Rejec's Witchburner, which seems very cool. Early days yet though.
GM
I'm thinking of running something on Thursday. Probably Into The Odd.
I spent quite a bit of time last week rolling up a Traveller sub-sector. If I finish it and it seems fun I might drop some players into it.
