Fix your hearts or die.
You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? Well, this year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda, bargaining chip or something to be debated and decided on without any of us in the room.
We are human beings. You cannot erase us.
Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost.
spent like 6 months now preparing to play 4E all the while knowing that it wasn't quite the right system for the game I wanted to run but just going with it anyway.
anyway this week I decided to officially ditch 4E and I've been looking around for low-/no-magic sword-and-sorcery systems. Read Mystic, Worlds Without Number, Shadowdark, and a bunch of others. Nothing quite right.
Except I may have found exactly what I'm looking for, in... Ironsworn
I'm surprised it didn't come up sooner/more often in my search, given that it's exactly what I have been looking for. The whole game is available for free on the Tompkins Games website, but the thing that really interested me about the system is the bizarre action roll:
1d6+2d10.
And rather than trying to beat a specific DC, you take the d6 (the "action die") result, add your relevant modifiers, and then compare that total to the two d10's (the "challenge dice").
If the action die+mods exceeds the result on both challenge dice, it's a strong success.
If the action die+mods exceeds one of the challenge dice but not the other, it's a weak success
if the action die+mods fails to exceed either challenge die, it's a miss
and it's easy to see the echoes of the 2d6 solution that PbtA offers, in fact the developers credit Dungeon World as an inspiration in the credits.
Ultimately I just love how elegant but needlessly complex it is.
animal name: Marsh Rat
my stupid, predictable, semi-millenial ass: he he well I don't think they actually exist

I'm gonna be honest 'cowboys were a sort of itinerant warrior class common in meiji-era texas' always annoys me a bit because it's a funny post but also No They Weren't. They were an itinerant pastoralist class common in Meiji-era Texas. And indeed the wider western region of post-Risorgimento America
with the rise of LLM chatbots who maintain and solicit users by flattering them, there has never been a better time to be a stupid, intentional loser who becomes blisteringly skeptical of anything nice said about them
I understand that when soulslikes do the whole "the Golden Age was a self-serving lie, the Kingdom has always been as rotten as it is now" thing they mean societally, but sometimes I like to imagine they mean it, like, physically. The Guardian of the Realm has always been a nine foot tall horsedog.
What's wrong with being a nine foot tall horsedog is what I want to know. They can guard the realm as well as anyone.
Two tiny unicorn experiments from a couple years ago! I never technically finished them, but kinda liked them as is!
