I am doing a deep dive into the old WW Trinity catalog to plumb for ideas and depth and only just realized the esteemed @gregstolze.bsky.social wrote the space supplement! Good stuff.

Well we completed our poll as to what game I’ll be running on Friday nights via Moonbeam and Foundry. It’s Trinity Continuum Aeon by a landslide.

Day 17 (20 Days of 20 Games)
So close to the end here.
Vampire the Masquerade
Back in 1991 I was a summer camp archery instructor. I carried this book around all summer. I would come to run 400 person Mage larps and dedicated a decade (and lots of shelf space) to White Wolf.

I’m fairly certain it’s gonna be “psionic space truckers” but a couple more days. If you…
…would watch the AP.
…wanna drop in to play.
…wanna see a particular Trinity game in action.
…wanna see these guys pontificating about being better GMs in action…
Weigh in to our poll.

Hero System
I played Champions way back in the day and it really affected the way I look at mechanics. There was so much joy finagling numbers to create all manner of characters and creatures. I ran dozens of campaigns in decades.

Invisible Sun
This is my obsession. I love magic. I love it in fiction and film. I love it in games. I love it in life in all its messy forms. I love the intersection of the occult, religion, philosophy, and culture. Invisible Sun is all that and a bag of chips.

City of Mist (everything Mist Engine really). This is a PbtA supers game done right. I’ve lauded this studio’s work for a while now. Looking forward to their Cairo sourcebook for Metro: Otherscape.

There is a lot to love about the James Bond RPG. It’s an amazing sim game that does a good job emulating espionage games of the era. Its logarithmic scaling is innovative and among the games that use a table to adjudicate success and failure.

Day 11 (20 Days of 30 Games)
Of the 1500 games I’ve sold this year this one hurts the most. Rolemaster is pure nostalgic crunch with reams of crit tables and one of the most complex advancement systems in the industry. To make it playable I internalized all the rules. 😳

Just the memory rules alone on this gem is worth the price. Freemarket, by the chaps at BWHQ, is a game where to manufacture your wildest dreams all you do is to convince a space station utopia filled with people that it’s worth having through station wide social media.

Day 9 (20 Games in 20 Days)
Before there was Burning Wheel there was Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Intuitive professions. A gritty world view. Brutal combat. I ran a successful campaign of this just before the pandemic. This game just gives me all the feels Moldvay didn’t after years of playing 1e.

Pssst is it still a secret if I post it to social media? Big secret time. I didn’t put the Trinity sticker on my copy of Aeon. Now they embrace the Aeon moniker so I hope it’s safe 🫣
This is a great setting. It taught me so much about setting and immersion.

Psi*Run is an amazing story game that shows the price of power and zeroing in on the struggles of fugitives so well it’s definitely found its way into many of my games.

This was one of the craziest games of #Hearthstone #Battlegrounds I’ve ever played. I was struggling to spend all my gold every round, pushing about 40 a round!
Not the highest stated lineup and the 1st place win was close. But I’ve never seen that much gold.

GODLIKE
This Greg Stolze/Dennis Detweller mashup is not only responsible for my 2000s deep dive into WW2 but the innovative die mechanics (One-Roll Engine) really helped me tell great stories. You can do so with Wild Talents as well but the war is an amazing backdrop.
