To the butterfly gods, I'm looking for sensible, non-bigoted individuals who are into:
- TTRPGs such as Dungeons and Dragons
- Cyberpunk 2077, RED, and/or Edgerunners
- 2000s era anime like Dragonball and Cowboy Bebop
- Batman and his family
- Critical Role
Drop a coin to the Witcher along the way

I want to create a 'modern fantasy' setting inspired by Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row.
Fast cars and fast guns, meets fantasy elements.
What system would you recommend?

#ttrpg idea: 80s action movie night.
Players start each session as 'themselves', imagining the table is a group of friends hanging out for a VHS 'movie night'.
We improv some trailers, then get into the game world.
Will probably use 'Everyday Heroes' or 'Never Stop Blowing Up' as the system.

CA Liberty "AJM". A heavy pistol with full auto capability. Can fire a burst of 10 and still have 4 rounds left in the magazine before reloading.
I might switch this to 'VERY heavy pistol' and require a BODY of 8 or more to full auto without penalty.

Even the '97 Bulls bench warmers got championship rings... just saying 😆
When a JRPG hands out experience and levels all of your party members all the same even when they’re not in the battle with you >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Tsunami Nue "T-47"
Heavy Pistol with an extended slide and barrel as well as integrated 'invisible' laser sight. Red dot reticule appears in user's HUD, adding +1 to hit (as well as the +1 from 'excellent quality')
Bonus points if you can guess the inspiration.

A house rule I made for Cyberpunk was similar, and I know the hardcores would hate me for it. Instead of having to put ranks in EVERY martial art you want your char to know, AND still have to put points into Brawling, I said
"6 ranks of more in Brawling means you know a martial art. PICK ONE!"
"6 ranks of more in Brawling means you know a martial art. PICK ONE!"
Someone claimed I’m ruining DnD because I…let my players flavor their spells? Like, it doesn’t even affect the mechanics of the game.

My Favorite plot questions to note as a GM in a grimdark setting like Dark Sun/Band of Blades/Cyberpunk:
- What do you desire or value the most?
- If you don't have it yet, what are you willing to do to obtain it?
- If you have it, what lengths are you willing to go to keep it?
- If it's an ideal...

@larianstudios.bsky.social laughs at that notion, making games so diverse and memorable, they justify multiple playthroughs while other games bog you down with fluff.
I think a lot of RPG fans have stockholm syndrome when it comes to game length
Whenever you question it you get so much “It has to be long because that’s the way the genre is!” and I think that’s sad.

One of my favorite GM tools for new players is what I call the 3x3 Cheat sheet.
3 of the common scenarios in ttrpgs- Social, Exploration, Combat.
Each scenario, write down their top 3 best actions, specific to their class and role within the game.

I spent 2 years attempting to retrofit Cyberpunk into 5e. The rationale was "my players don't wanna learn a new system."
So, after that... experiment... my findings include...

A bad habit that I've seen take hold of 5E DMs that start branching out to other games is to try to "fix" a system before they have experience in it.
Your first step should be to play in the new system for at least a few games to find any pain points yourself.
Not every system needs "fixing".

Great point, but just to add:
- According to Canon lore, it wasn't just Johnny who blew 'Saka tower. Morgan Blackhand led the op, Militech funded it and supplied the boom booms.
- Johnny was happy to be the fall guy. 'Saka needed a villain, and Johnny's ego couldn't resist.

As a Cis Male, I use #TTRPGs to explore other genders and gender dynamics. In the Cyberpunk RED game I play, I dove into exploring gender identity with my first non-bianary character, Raine.
Since I'm pretty set in my own gender identity, this was a great opportunity to learn a new perspective.

I'm in the #cyberpunk2077 minority here, but I did the 'side with Reed' path in Phantom Liberty, and I ain't doing that shiz again.
