Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries has ate my soul.

[SaintofM]

Thinking about getting Dark Tide soon. More a Warhammer Fantasy guy, but 40k is the moe popular game for severl good reasons, adn a fun shooter is something they can always use. Also done by the same crew that did Vermintide so even if you are not a lore hound, you will still have fun with the action and dialogue.

Since moving to the Philippines for retirement (I am 65), the possibility of finding 2 to 5 people to run any kind of Old-School TTRPG in person is asymptotically zero.

I do pretty much all my TTRPG via Maptool these days.

I am a sometime contributor to the project, which can be found here: https://www.rptools.net/

Maptools seems optimized for D&D 5e.  Is there another for GURPS (any ed) or Traveller (any ed)?

[Demarquis]

They claim it is "game agnostic," though I haven't used it myself.

Maptool is completely game agnostic, it just somes loaded with some D&D type defaults for lights and token sizes and such.
But all that is entirely customisable.

Plenty of people use Maptool for GURPS. I've done a lot of Hero System stuff with it myself.

First I've heard of it.

[dragoongfa]

It's made by Bethesda; it will be broken beyond belief at launch and maybe they will deign to fix it eventually.

I've seen it described as an open-galaxy* RPG game like skyrim but with spaceships and lasers.

Hopefully they used the extra time making this game fixing all the bugs.

I want my own spaceship

These two lines... together... should not be...

They'd have to debug their Q&A depar... they'd have to create a Q&A department.

Can't be more difficult then providing air tickets and lodging?

Am curious if anyone's fallen down the Balatro rabbit hole, or plays the tabletop wargame BattleTech (whether Classic or Alpha Strike).

[Arioch]

I have played Balatro a bit.
