#GUTSPlus

Someone left a very nice positive comment on my GUTS+ System PDF on Itchio, and it feels really good to know that someone else likes my system, too! 😊

#GUTSPlus

Ok, so there's an office section for a laboratory, cataloging, and office building for the main bad company in our #GUTSPlus campaign, and there's a supercomputer on the second floor, so I'm not sure what to put on the first floor... any ideas what I can do?

There's restrooms, a kitchen/break room, and... there's gotta be something important in there! Help! #rpg #ttrpg

I ran my third GUTS+ session tonight over audio only, and it still went pretty well! They blazed through one big section during the second session, and now they're in a much denser area and have interacted with more stuff in the environment. Fortunately they're moving on to the next section before losing track of the goal, but they're in for a confrontation next time because of the meandering they did!

#rpg #GUTSPlus

Alright, I just want to gauge interest for now, but...

I'm thinking of setting up a local RPG group in Denver/Littleton, Colorado specifically to run my Mother Earth GUTS+ (https://guts.plus) campaign with in person. I still need to figure out details and make sure I'd be able to actually commit to it, but I'd really love to share this game with more people, and my current RPG group is too busy!

Would you be interested in & willing to join such an endeavor?

A player has resigned from my ongoing GUTS+ campaign, so it's time to see if anyone in the Fediverse might be interested in joining in! It's an urban fantasy setting where plants are being given destructive sentience by a science conglomerate that just so happens to be run by aliens.

Its tone is a mix of lighthearted fun and mildly serious themes (like Nintendo's #Earthbound), and you can read up and join here if you're interested:

#LFG #GUTSPlus #RPG

We're using the new #GUTSPlus combat rules in my #RoleGate campaign right now, and I think it's going super well! I like it a lot better than "initiative"-based turn order. Plus the new health rules make it go a /lot/ faster!

Hey fediverse! If anyone wants in on either a temporary or permanent spot in a cool urban fantasy #RPG #campaign inspired by #Earthbound where plants are acquiring sentience and rapid growth, then join my Mother Earth campaign on #RoleGate!

There are 2 player slots open, and we're using my #GUTSPlus RPG system. It's tons of fun, and we're entering a new area that's been recently overrun by plants and needs your help!

Holy shit, I just thought of an alternate ending for my Mother Earth GUTS+ campaign on Role Gate that opens up a whole alternate universe situation!

If I take that route, I can use the resulting world as an optional default setting for GUTS+ as a whole!

#GUTSPlus #RPG #gameDesign

So we're entering a new area in our GUTS+ campaign on #RoleGate and there are 2 player slots open. If anyone is interested in playing either temporarily or permanently, we'd love to have you hop in with a new character!

https://www.rolegate.com/ref/Alamantus/mother-earth-guts

If you have any questions about the system or the campaign or anything, I'd be happy to answer them, too!

#lfg #GUTSPlus #RPG #campaign #TTRPG

Progress!

I guess I'm just naturally ambitious, because this is kind of a lot already! But it's not so bad! I just might need to remove a floor so players get more than 30 seconds per floor to help rescue others, though. We'll see!

#gamedev #tabletop #RPG #GUTSPlus

@redlila @patmax17 In case you're interested, I did end up changing the GUTS+ system and its character sheet based on our little discussion! Now Injuries are much more serious and they're marked with a single line for one damage and a line through the first for disabled on each body part, and I added more space for status conditions. I also made inventory a little simpler and reorganized the stuff on the sheet to reflect it! :)

#GUTSPlus #RPG #gameDesign

I'm pulling the trigger on some big GUTS+ changes that will streamline inventory and health management quite a bit! I'll hopefully have the updates up with a post either today or tomorrow (Monday at the latest). It comes with a bunch of changes to the character sheet that will hopefully make it feel like a "simplified" #rpg experience as it's intended to!

#GUTSPlus #update

Some new people just looked at GUTS+ and gave some initial impressions, and they're getting me thinking about simplifying things a lot more. Specifically, inventory and injuries are very granular and could be streamlined a lot. The item management doesn't really matter and injuries could be rolled into status effects, which could be renamed to "conditions"! Lots of ideas, lots of streamlining...

#GUTSPlus #RPG #gameDesign #ideas

I made some updates to the GUTS+ system #rules about rolling doubles, gaining experience points, and (the biggest change of all) doing #combat!

https://guts.plus/posts/2019-04-30-experience-and-combat-changes/

Combat is moving from "initiative-based" turn order to a free-for-all structure where players can take 1 turn at *any time* every 5-second interval. I also more clearly defined what a turn looks like. It's a big change, but it allows for more strategy and I feel like it fits #GUTSPlus better in general.
