Star Wars with Cortex Prime, Episode VII

April 18, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ 2 Comments

Spaceships! Spaceships! Spaceships! Part of the reason I'm going with Cortex Prime for my Star Wars build is that I think it can avoid two of my main issues with previous games' takes on starships. The other reason is the Firefly rpg.

Star Wars with Cortex Prime, Episode VI

Last time I went through my thought process for how I'd model the Force with Cortex Prime. We'll wrap that up here.

Star Wars With Cortex Prime, Episode V

April 3, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ 2 Comments

Last episode I laid out how I'd build Star Wars characters out of Cortex Prime's robust toolkit. Now we'll mess them up real bad and see how that ties into using the Force.

Star Wars with Cortex Prime, Episode IV

April 2, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ 4 Comments

I've made a lot of special modifications myself.Han Solo Welcome to the first installment of my foray into building a Cortex Prime system to use for Star Wars with my local group. With luck, some of what I'm doing might resonate with your own personal Star Wars and you'll get some inspiration from what I'm … Continue reading Star Wars with Cortex Prime, Episode IV

FFG Fancy Dice Hacks

February 25, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ Leave a comment

My local group's played multiple one-shots of Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars games. You know, the ones with the fancy dice. These are Genesys dice, but whatever. I liked some things about the system, but I definitely felt character creation was needlessly crunchy compared to the basic mechanic of "roll dice and interpret them like … Continue reading FFG Fancy Dice Hacks

It’s Free RPG Day

February 10, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ 2 Comments

It is here, in any case. I'm throwing up an old homebrew roleplaying game my brother and I made after college. I was going to make some self-deprecating shame jokes at this point, but I don't think it's a bad game for the time. It's mainly spliced together from pre-deluxe Savage Worlds and Fate 2.0 … Continue reading It’s Free RPG Day

More Tightrope of Peril

February 1, 2019February 1, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ 3 Comments

Which system(s) are going to end up in my game meatloaf for this pulp action heartbreaker I'm thinking about? I've been reading up on a lot of the newer-hotness games as well as some older favorites. If I can just drift an existing game rather than Frankensteining something new out of parts, that'd be great. … Continue reading More Tightrope of Peril

The Tightrope of Peril

January 28, 2019 ~ admiralducksauce ~ 1 Comment

I've been working on a roleplaying game design alongside Insomniacs that's either going to be a Star Wars heartbreaker or some sort of pulp action game. It might end up diverging into both. What Even Is Pulp Action? Action-adventure as a genre is far too broad, but the influences I'm talking about are cornerstones of … Continue reading The Tightrope of Peril
