jendefer<a href="https://dice.camp/@apontious" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@apontious</a> Mainly we use Genesys rules, but we play in Doskvol, our characters are based on Blades playbooks, and I adapted the Blades Downtime and Load mechanics to use with Genesys. So far, the two tastes seem to be going great together, to judge by my players' responses. :v)<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BitD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BitD</a>

Wonder what the page count is.

Dionysus 🍇A question to the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> community. If you were going to convert <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ShadowOfTheBeanstalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShadowOfTheBeanstalk</a> to another system, because you love the setting, what system would you use?Modern AGE with the Cyberpunk Slice is appealing, as I like the system and it only uses 3D6. I wish it had better vehicle rules.Thoughts?

Dionysus 🍇I know, I know. "They have PDFs and dice apps for your smart devices." It isn't the same. Not everyone has smart phones. Not everyone has tablets or PCs to read PDFs.Try running <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> at a convention. You have to supply all the dice for 4-6 players, because there are none for sale anywhere and you cannot expect your players to have the app. Even if it all goes well and it inspires your players to get into it, there is nothing for sale anywhere.Asmodee stinks as a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> owner.

Dionysus 🍇My group wants me to run Android <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ShadowOfTheBeanstalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShadowOfTheBeanstalk</a>, and it got me thinking about <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a>, both how much I like it and its many flaws.It is very hard to promote an RPG to new players that:1. Is owned by Asmodee. They are as problematic as Hasbro. I wish FFG was still its own entity.2. Cannot keep its core book in stock at FLGSs. 3. Most damning, uses non-standard dice that the publisher CANNOT KEEP IN STOCK. It literally kills the game.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a>

:trebuchet: Kale :trebuchet:I've got <a href="https://masto.ai/@shimminbeg" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@shimminbeg</a> mentioning aquariums in my masto timeline and now I kinda want to write a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> Android/Brink of the Billabong supplement that's just 'stuff to buy for your home base' with aquariums and couches and floor plans and shizzle

Andrew PontiousThis was a big year for me for <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a>, just started playing and running a *lot* more new things, after spending years just playing/running <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DnD5e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DnD5e</a>.Systems I ran for the first time this year:<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Stargate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stargate</a> RPG <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Mothership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mothership</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/SavageWorlds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SavageWorlds</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Vaesen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vaesen</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DeltaGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeltaGreen</a> (never played) <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/StarTrekAdventures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarTrekAdventures</a> (only played afterwards) <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CypherSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CypherSystem</a>As I've said before, I finally bit the bullet and starting running games I'd never played or only played once or twice, and it worked pretty well!<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/AndrewsTTRPGs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AndrewsTTRPGs</a>

Andrew Pontious<a href="https://dice.camp/@vicious_crockery" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@vicious_crockery</a> The opposite is also true.<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/SavageWorlds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SavageWorlds</a>, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a>'s Terrinoth, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Traveller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Traveller</a>, they all just feel like generic genre settings, and despite their mechanics often being pretty interesting, they didn't grab me enough to keep me to invested in campaigns or one-shots in them.

:trebuchet: Kale :trebuchet:The old 'it's hard thinking of things to do (narratively) with every advantage gained in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rpg</a>' discussion has reappeared on the subreddit.*shrugs*

I love playing <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> and <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/boardgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boardgames</a>. I have an <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/actualplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#actualplay</a> podcast, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DiceyStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiceyStories</a>, that mostly uses <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a>, and I enjoy <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> our adventures as novellas.

Andrew Pontious<a href="https://dice.camp/@auguryignored" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@auguryignored</a> I'd love to run a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> fantasy game, but almost no one knows of it and most people bounce hard off the custom dice.So probably going to try to run a fantasy campaign based on <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CypherSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CypherSystem</a>. It seems to have a much more active user base, with at least some focus on RP.

Andrew PontiousOh, and actually *running* a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Genesys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genesys</a> game appears to be fiddly/tedious because of minion groups.The only online system that helps with this is RPGSessions, but it specifically has no mapping component. So you'd need to run that (already a resource hog) *and* Roll20 or Foundry? No thanks!(Continued…)
