Power BI Online Edition @lordminx

I'm in a PbP at the moment using the rules, but with RPGnets "The Long Stairs" setting and it's going ... dunno.

I like the setting, the other players/the GM seem nice and we had some fun playerdriven setting creation bits, but man, I remember why I don't like percentile games.

Even with skills of 70+, I have only had 1 successful roll so far. Coupled with a very trad "Defense is an Action" and "You only get one action per turn", this feels meh.

I don't mind failing in more Indie games, where failure generally means "More dramatic stuff happens" (Like PbtA) and is less coupled to a characters personal capabilities, but here it feels much less fun. :/

(The fact that this is a PbP and thus the pace is slooooooooow compared to a meatspace game doesn't really help. If we were gaming at the table, we'd be in the first hour or so of a game, so much easier to feel like "Ok, whatever, I can't keep rolling that badly all evening.")

Ich hab wieder gewürfelt.

Könnt euch denken was passiert ist, oder?

@lordminx You goota #FUDGE that shait! Also despite it forcing its own system, the #DeltaGreen setting rules!

@Richard_ermen Eh, Fudge Dice are nice and all, but personally I'd rather have a PbtA version or something.

And what I know of DGs official setting sounds ok, I guess? I mean, it's basically your basic Seeeeeekrit Government Agency thing with Mythos stuff.

@lordminx Ahh, but it is THE secret GA with mythos setting. Also, funny enough, delta green is specifically NOT a government agency. Once you start to delve into it, it can be really good because of the subversions it makes. Also great spy-fiction, if you´re into that sorta stuff.Otherwise, well, if PbtA is your thing, sure, go for it. Anything is better than BRP.
