I haven't but I'm looking at it because Savage World Gladiators is really good. (It's Arion who I generally like as a designer).

I mean, I pretty much never remember until someone mentions it on here and I think I have moderator powers on it.

The best design feature is how I log into the old site, then when I try to buy a game it makes me log in again on the new site and then when I check my publisher account it returns me to the old site again.

Such a good game. I'd happily play this with people on TTS if we can get players.

One thing I've noticed is that google links to products are now broken which feels really bad from a publisher perspective.

I own Apocalypse RPG and the associated campaign book by the same designer. It's an entirely genuine attempt at turning the events of the Rapture and the reign of the Antichrist into a RPG. Without getting too much into the author's personal religious beliefs it would be an incredibly hard...

r/roleplay seems pretty active for text roleplay if you don't already know it.

Hi Corvus! While you're very welcome at the Pub I think we're probably not quite what you're looking for. We're focused on tabletop RPGs here; stuff like Dungeons and Dragons; rather than forum RP etc. Good luck finding what you're after though!

I use Reddit because I am a hep cat who is down with the kidz.

Boomers are more Facebook pages in my experience, at least the boomer RPGers I interact with. Discord is great for small private groups like my En Garde! games and absolutely sucks for branching the discussion out from people who are already in those groups.

Reinforcing that, I just picked this up - https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/434472/landing-days-2100-c-e I'll post more once I've done more than skimmed it but it looks good and very different from my conception of a Braunstein. Possibly. I agree it's important but I'm not sure it needs...

I have Steve's book somewhere. Largely I was going to use this as a starting point and work forward from there - https://kidminotaur.com/how-to-run-a-braunstein-rpg-1756ec4e73f0

I mean at the moment the info is "I think I'm going to publish a Braunstein but need to start working on it". :p

Just "wargames". I think by now his reputation largely speaks for itself. And I don't think they really are the same concept; the structure is very different. Howard essentially makes skirmish games with RPG elements, but that's very different than how Braunsteins play out.

Resurrecting this to ask a more practical question. If I was to write and publish my own "Braunstein" what's the polite way to handle it? I don't think I should use "Braunstein" in the name; while sometimes used as a description for a type of game it's very much an actual sequence of games...

Yeah, the F01 Brotherhood felt grey and I liked that. There were definitely some dodgy elements, but there were also genuinely goodhearted people in it.

This site has done an extensive list of Victorian/Steampunk RPGs including the very obscure - https://www.ageofravensgames.com/blog/history-of-steampunk-amp-victoriana-rpgs-part-1-1983-1996

Definitely. Much less "we wear goggles because they're cool" and more "we wear full gas masks because the London smog will blind you over time".

For a second I thought you were attacking Matt Berry and we were about to have a fist fight.

Also, if you like the idea of Victorian superheroes, the Kerebos Club supplement is very good indeed and comes in both Savage Worlds and Wild Talents.
