Same thing happened to me when I discovered it.

You probably figured it out already, but in case you didn't: the video I posted before is part of a playlist, and it's an excellent way to get acquainted with the game.

And thus... the existance of this community is now officially worthwhile. ;)

BTW, There's also a Traveller-specific community: (!Traveller@ttrpg.network)

Traveller is one of the oldest RPGs out there. And here’s just the video that explains how to use it:

Today is the 20th anniversary of the launch of TravellerMap.

Since I'm lazy, go read the 10th anniversary post for some history.

Paizo has some:

And yes, there should be a d10 inside another d10 somewhere around there.

Yeah. Very well summarized.

Perhaps I’d also add that the advancement is earned with blood and sweat. 😅

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I suppose YMMV, but to me it’s central. You see, the Hunter becomes a hunter because she heard a higher calling, and believing in it is what keeps it going.

You can rename Conviction to Faith, and it probably shows what I’m hinting at. That faith can get you out of trouble (supernaturally so) but it’s also precious. You’re still human, flimsy and prone to errors, susceptible to doubt.

And you’re way out of your league. All the time.

In oWoD’s Hunter: The Reckoning, you can’t advance your Edges (supernatural abilities) with XP.

To do so, you have to gamble Conviction during the session, while using said Edges (those Conviction points gambled add dice to your pool, ideally improving your odds).

If you succeed at the task, you gain Virtues (with which you can later buy points in Edges).

if you fail the task, you lose Conviction points. If you run out of Conviction, you lose your ability to use Edges at all until you rest/meditate/recover for a full week.

Not sure if it qualifies as “conceptual” or non-mechanical to you. But I love it.

 

In case you didn't know, we have this community (!micro_maps@ttrpg.network) dedicated to tiny hand drawn maps.

And I finally ventured to draw a ship.

It's about time, isn't it?

I sort of became lost with Stellagama’s offerings after the Cepheus family. 😅

Anyway, Quantum does ring a bell, but Quantum Dark didn’t.

Edit: turns out I do own the base Quantum PDF. That’s why it rung a bell, I guess.

Hadn’t heard of this one.

 

I hope this is on-topic.

We have this community (!micro_maps@ttrpg.network) dedicated to tiny hand drawn maps. I decided to create a map using a nethack-inspired style.

Talk about inspiration.

In case you didn't know or didn't catch the reference, this is a homage to Nethack.

Ah, I assume you missed it. Last month’s Humble Bundle did include Cyberpunk Red.

https://ttrpg.network/post/21905985

It was kinda pricey, though.

 

Apparently this is an old Bundle from 2020.

If you're only interested in The Expanse, I'm afraid it's only available in the higher tier,

The lower tier includes: Modern AGE Basic Rulebook, Modern AGE Companion, Threefold, Enemies & Allies, Missions: Warflower, Modern AGE Game Master's Kit

The higher tier includes: The Expanse RPG, Ships of the Expanse, The Expanse Game Master's Kit, The Expanse: Abzu's Bounty, The Expanse: Salvage Op

Official rules for sneaking, rather than fighting, through a net architecture are now available for Cyberpunk RED. They are straightforward: a contested Interface check between the netrunner and daemons/dwellers in the arch:

To establish stealth in a NET Architecture, you have to spend an additional NET Action when you Jack In. When you do, you roll a contested Interface Check (Interface + 1d10 vs Interface + 1d10) against all Watchers (Demons, enemy Netrunners … and other entities with an Interface Rank) currently in the Architecture. If you beat them all, you successfully establish stealth and enter the system undetected.

Once the netrunner is in, they need to make a similar check against any Black Ice they encounter:

When a Netrunner encounters a Black ICE while in stealth, they roll Interface + any bonus to Cloak Checks + 1d10 vs the Black ICE’s Perception + 1d10 instead of performing a Speed Check.

Once the netrunner fails the perception check, they are no longer sneaking and normal rules apply.

I'm glad there are more options for netrunners now. I hope RTal adds more options in future.

 
 

Last month, Graham Richardson (Lionhearth Games) organized the TripTech Game Jam, where contestants would create Tripanels (you know, the form factor of those pamphlets that fold in three) for Mothership.

Anyway, all 39 submissions are listed at the bottom of the page:

https://itch.io/jam/triptech-game-jam-052025

I found out about this jam thanks to this video by Dave Thaumavore in which he talks about the experience of being part of the jam and then shows off a few of the tripanels.
