Mid-tier, I’d say. 😉

But a wiki is only a problem if you expect the players to read it all.

For me, as a GM, this can easily mean more stress since I now need to incorporate player ideas into the setting which might not mesh with my own plans.

I will buy any Sine Nomine Publishing books unseen for their amazing worldbuilding tools, but I’m not particularly fond of OSR rules as a whole. I can deal with D&D 5E or Pathfinder 2E, but beyond that I have little interest in level-and-class systems.

It’s a book reviewing/organizing site, similar to Goodreads - but noncommercial, distributed, and part of the Fediverse.

Whoops! I don’t know how that link got messed up, but it should work now.

I do hope someone updates the Iron Gods Adventure Path for the 2E rules at some point.

Good point - there have been similar types of metafiction, although I don’t know any where the focus was on folk tales.

The situation in the AI industry being what it is, I would not rule it out!

I feel I ought to buy a bunch of Pathfinder/Starfinder stuff in order to support them.

Hmmm… I bought that, but I didn’t read it more closely. Maybe it might help me for the GURPS Shadowrun conversion I’ve been fantasizing about since forever.

I particularly like the “Black Schools” of GURPS Cabal.

“Like Hogwarts, but we cheerfully acknowledge that we are evil, privileged bastards!”

Only two, alas.

And now you have introduced a new generation of #ttrpg players to the existence of this game.

You fiend!

The idea would be a custom fantasy world, starting with continental outlines and working my way inwards to focus regions.

And I would use QGIS.

Yeah, if I were to do this, I would use QGIS.

Pathfinder 2E has a very similar power curve as D&D 5E. In fact, it might even be worse for Brancalonia as characters basically get their level as a flat bonus on everything.

Sounds like a fun game!

I am personally not overly enarmored of OSR rule systems, but I’m a sucker for good worldbuilding and worldbuilding tools - I buy Sine Nomine Publishing stuff unseen, for instance. Maybe I should give this a closer look.

Ouch! That sounded rough. But I’m glad you learned some valuable lessons from it.

My work straddles the dividing line between fiction and nonfiction - I translate old German folk tales into English.

The “creative writing” aspect is in the commentary - these tales were told in a context that is very different from what a modern audience is used to, and thus I need to explain the cultural, geographical, and historical nuances to my readers.

Darauf antworte ich mit Art. 14 (2) des Grundgesetzes:

“Eigentum verpflichtet. Sein Gebrauch soll zugleich dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit dienen.”

Also, wie halten wir es denn mit der Vermögenssteuer?
