This is over multiple groups, both homegrown and convention, mind you. Local game store, DragonCon, you name it.
Best Friends was always a bust.
It really felt like too much work to set up for the payoff that you ended up with and along the way people remembered how much they hated catty infighting. If they wanted to do that, they could just talk to people.
Never a win. Bit of a shame.
(Admitting this in public may get my #StoryGames community card pulled.)
Demo of #TheCosmicWheelSisterhood is really cool. Narrative game based around creating tarot cards to read fortunes. Looks like there are many elements to create unique card designs and meanings. Have always liked #deconstructeam style but bounced off most of their games; this looks like one I'll stick with.

Another playtest of #LongRoadHomeRpg written up - the story of the Broken Angel. It is an example of young-adult rag-tag heroes in a faded realm with an otherworldly foe. #ttrpg #indiettrpg #storygames

Ken and Robin talk collaborative worldbuilding, more 90s SF cinema, exporting DramaSystem, and the magical assassination plot against Edward II.

I guess I should link to the actual game. Protocol is a GMless system for one-shot Rpgs. Holy Diver is one scenario based on the works of Ronnie James Dio. Real heavy metal fantasy feel.
I ended up playing Maven, the dream of the other characters, lover to one, mother to the other two, and a Neon Knight.

Stumbled upon this KS in the final hours. A light one shot about bounty hunters in space, I’ll give it a shot.

I actually think more Rpgs could work in an “iconic” mode without advancement. Batman or Sherlock Holmes never advance, they are always the same. But that doesn’t stop people from writing stories about them.
Shut Up and Sit Down haben For the Queen rezensiert und das macht mich irgendwie glücklich.

Kinda want to play Spelljammer, but in a more Blades in the Dark or NSR style. Anyone have suggestions as to what might be close to that?

Had a full day of gaming. Played:
Dominare
Protocol Squared: Home
Protocol: $7000 Movie
Snickersnee
Dominare
I did poorly in both games of Dominare, but I did better than the designer both times.
We made it Home to tragedy. I knew we should have just settled down elsewhere.
$7000 Movie was a glorious disaster, with time travel, robot Abraham Lincoln, and a zombie.
Snickersnee turned into a Cohen brothers film.

Playtesting Snickersnee. So far we’ve learned that a d8 rolls 1 half the time.

I made it home, but infected by The Rage. I found my wife with Rolf the merchant. The rage overtakes me and I kill them both. I’m cut down by the guards shortly after.

Another conversation reminded me that I really love Ryuutama and I wish it had more supplements.
I should run it again sometime. Last time I did I imported a bunch of Dragon Quest monsters. It was great.

Thinking about adventures in my unnamed setting. I have twenty intelligent species that inhabit the isles. But I don’t want any of them to be presumed evil. If you encounter a band of orcs, attacking them for no reason makes you the bad guys.
There’s space for political adventures in cities, banditry on the borders, and of course delving into ancient ruins that the old empire of wizards left behind.

A guy asked about GMless games in an Rpg Zine facebook group I’m in. I wish I was surprised at some of the hostile and rude responses. I get it that GMless isn’t to everyone’s taste, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t role-playing games.
Anyway, on a positive note, what are your favorite GMless games?
Mine is definitely Praxis Black Monk. It’s a bit dark and weird, but I’ve really enjoyed every time I’ve had a chance to play it.
