@mph Maybe because you put text in the post too?

I recommend Colony Wars if you are enjoying your PS1 flight sims.

Wrapped up Blade Runner last night. Well, for now. We all know the odds of returning to a game but I have more I would like to do with this RPG and our arc. I wasn't planning to finish up last night, but we had had three weeks off so I restarted with a clear statement of where the RDU officers (Blade Runners) were in their vague investigation and a bit of time pressure in the form of a warning that Wallace Corp were intending to recall the replicant PC.

So despite the extensive pre-game natter the session was fast and brutal. The bulk of the session was a brutal running gunfight through a residential block, leaving on PC very dead and the other two fleeing the city. Joe said it felt like a good break point and I agreed. It's an appropriately downbeat ending if we don't return and an easy place to pick up from if we do.

I had a great time running it. The book could do with more details on the city but what is there is good. The system is a really nice tight itteration of the Year Zero Engine, I particularly like they way it handles pushing rolls and damage and crits. Recommended.

@aniki Sounds perfect!

@Smellavision There's Vampire: Requiem which is a different take on Vampire from 2005 or so. It's a little less "immortal politicking" and a little more "monsters among us". I think. Luscan could tell you more.

Urban Shadows does the whole World of Darkness thing in one book with Powered By The Apocalypse rules.

Liminal does urban fantasy in England and is quite light on rules. It has Vampire PCs.

Had a great time at Conpulsion over the weekend. I ran a couple light PbtA games for a mix of kids and adults. I bought a bunch of cool RPG books including some weird OSR stuff, and the James Bond RPG. I bought a two player mini wargame called The Cousins War which I then played and it was awesome and kind of exhausting!

I had lunch with Luscan which was lovely. I was in a panel where the audience almost outnumbered us 2:1. Me and my friends had a massive, heated, alcohol-fuelled debate about the nature of games and RPGs. And then we won the pub quiz!
