SWADE Nights Black Agents (S)Entries: Ether Bunny attacks; laptop obtained.

How is the game generally? I’ve got the pdf of the book but haven’t had time to really dig into it.

I’ve spent the last ten years or so running canned scenarios. My mistaken assumption was it was saving me time. It doesn’t. The possible exception that’s ready to run out of the box on a VTT since I almost exclusively game online now. I’ve also found it has atrophied my imagination. So...

SWADE Dracula Dossier character creation. Last year I ran a GURPS then SWADE Nights Black Agents Zalozhniy Quartet game that was a ton of fun. After hopping through a couple things since we’ll be going back to that one of game. I’ll be attempting to run the Dracula Dossier with elements of...

SWADE Dracula Dossier character creation.

SW is always gonna feel little bit pulpy. While it can be swingy it actually very hard to to kill a character. Incapacitate sure, kill, not easy. SW supports mostly action and action adjacent games. It is not the game I would pick for a gritty low fantasy experience (though with the Gritty...

2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu Starter Box, D-Day, and Forest of Fear. I bought them to use for Savage Worlds (or maybe GURPS) but I might have to give 2d20 another shot.

Today I preordered the 2d20 Achtung! Cthulhu D-day book.

Lots of good and practical advice up thread. All I would add is you have to take care of yourself. If you don’t the burn out and stress will creep into the other parts of your life. The only practical advice I’d maybe give is find a game to play in and dry and discover your hobby joy again...

A streamlined GURPS. Theoretically I love jt. In reality it plays slow and cumbersome for me. But when I want something gritty it’s what I reach for first. Then walk it back.

I’ve run three chapters of Masks of Nyarlathotep in Savage Worlds. I ran the Zalozhniy Quartet for Nights Black Agents in both GURPS and Savage Worlds I’ve run 3.5 era Necromancer Games stuff in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. I’m gearing up for a Blades in the Dark game using Savage Worlds. I...

that's the plan. The biggest change is a fundamental change to the Bennie economy and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little nervous about it. In my changes for this specific game, I've replaced general bennies with a Stress stat. The Stress stat does everything a Bennie can do, plus the Flashbacks...

I used to run only fantasy. I’ve made a conscious effort to expand what I run/am comfortable dragging my kicking and screaming players along with me. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Of I had to be pinned down right now I’d say multiple worlds. I want warp travel in at least one chapter. Definitely multiple worlds in the same system. In my head the Australia connections are being pursued by a rival Radical =I=, the London sections involve planetary nobility, the New York...

Currently obsessed with building out a Blades in the Dark style game in Savage Worlds. Running PF1 Wrath of the Righteous. When I decided to run this I had nostalgia goglgles on. I vastly prefer the SWADE Pathfinder game paradigm. Potential games I’m looking into: Dark Heresy/ Imperium...
