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.

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

Cool. Hadn't even heard of that one.

Gave it a quick glance... apparently it doesn't "break character" absolutely anywhere.

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.

I think it’s just because Lemmy (and the fediverse) doesn’t yet have a critical mass.

Before creating !scifi@ttrpg.network I was thinking about creating a community for Traveller alone. But I decided to poll several other places beforehand. Not a lot of people showed interest. That’s why I decided to create a more general community.

I share your need for activity. I really do. I just don’t have much to offer. At least at the moment. I’ve been dabbling with mapmaking lately, but I’m not prolific enough. I have plans, oh yes, quite a few ideas brewing and bubbling, but nothing to show. Yet.

It’s very common, expected really, to have many more consumers than producers in any social network. But I’m still here. And I’d bet a few more are also around. Lurking? (I love that word when used so casually)

We’re listening.

Just a crack in the stone... it's just meant to break the white space. But of course, you can insert a subplot.

 

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:

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.

Thanks!

Tiny maps are very forgiving. And they’ve helped me improve my skills over time.

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Nah. I’m not that good.

Maybe I’m not even plain good, but that’s too lengthy a discussion for here. 😅

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you happen to remember the name of the game?

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 months ago

Nothing in particular in mind. And certainly nothing new. Just wanted to make something out of the 100+ micro maps I’ve done.

Edit (May 2nd) - Traveller5 bundle includes: Traveller5 Core Rules 3-Book Set, T5 Starships & Spacecraft deck plans, and T5 Gazelle-Class Close Escorts
