I am working on the Framework for a Rules Light Sci Fi RPG.
I wrote a % Based one years ago and have resurrected and destroyed it many times. Sci Fi RPGs tend to be overcomplicated and such. Mine is kinda dated in technology as I saw it in the 80s and 90s.
I want one that can do all genres.
I want one that is simple. I like % systems. SO here is the initial framework.
Four attributes. Average is 25%. Roll 5f10 each one.
Physique - How healthy and strong you are. Uses: Resistance, Hit Points, Physical Combat.
Reflex - How quick, agile, and coordinated you are. Uses: Shooting, Dodging, Initiative, Piloting.
Technology - How technologically adept you are. Uses: Science, Races, Planets.
Interaction - Your personality and leadership ability. Uses: Command, Con, Seduce.
Each attribute also has a descriptor to give the character a story.
Ace Starhole
Physique 45 Tough Guy and Trained Soldier.
Reflex 49 Hotshot pilot and expert marksman.
Technology 23 Not a rocket scientist.
Interaction 40 A smooth guy ladies man.
That's all I got, going to see the Hobbit...

Is the BlogOSRsphere dying off?
Is the BlogOSRsphere dying off?
It seems to be waning a bit. Oh there are people who post quite a few times a week but not like it was just a few years ago. It is kinda nice to be able to keep up with the blog post though.
It is very much alive though!
Some of the main players have stopped posting or have slowed down to a mere trickle. Some have fallen to scandals or have made scandals.
Still every day there is at least something interestingly posted for the love of the game.
I know that I am here for the long haul whatever that is even though my blog is one of the least of the OSR blogs.
It seems that the OSR has not really moved forward at all if you compare the post of Chicago Wiz way back in 2011.
Does something needs to happen publishing wise to get the OSR ball rolling again? I don't think that is ever going to happen (save the release of Adventures Dark and Deep but that's just me getting excited about a product that I have yet to buy) again.
People are still going to publish Retro Clones (Neo-Clone, Simulacrums, Fantasy Heartbreakers, etc.) but the chance for glory has passed.
I hope to be proven wrong on that statement but we shall see...
People seem to be very happy with the RPGs they are playing.
What needs to happen that would re-excite (Like it was a few years ago!) the BlogOSRsphere? I think people getting out there and playing and posting about it.
Some sort of organized play starting on a local level and then possibly becoming state, regional, and then possibly national and posting about it.
TARGA needs to come back.
Some really good ground breaking home made modules and house rules!
New race and class options!
Wait, that still is going on !
In my area, RPG Gaming seems dead though rumors of groups existing in secretive insular little clans. Old School Gaming locally has a few small sparks but they never seem to ignite. If there is an OLD campaign that has existed since the late 70s and early 80s in my area I don't know about it.
What to do? What to do?

Superions Super Hero RPG
Are you sick of Super Powered games that take hours and
hours to make a character and huge amounts of work running
a Supers RPG? Then fear not for here is Superions! A rules
lite Supers RPG that is easy to run and easy to play.
In the ancient times far out beyond space and time the
Superions were born. Not of one race but from a strange
mutating energy. The Energy Force called Superion. The
force can manifest in technology or in powers of great help
or destruction. Their battle is ancient. They have been on
our world for millions of years. Every planet Superion
touches is forever changed. Such as the story of the
reality of earth know as Earth Superion! It is because of
them that our technology is far greater than it is Earth
Prime. Also the influence of Superion Energy has allowed
the solar system and the galaxy to be far more populated.
There are the Superions known as the Infernals. They are
the ones that cause great evil upon the world. They come in
many forms yet unlike the Surpurnals they are twisted and
dark! Whenever they meet a battle is sure to happen for the
Infernals believe that all of reality is theirs to rule and
subjugate.
All Superion Players start out with 10D6 HD AC 10, MAC 10,
+1 to hit, 1d4 punch, 10 MPH and 4 + 1d6 Power Points.
Your Power Point score is how many times you roll on the D200 chart.
That's all there is on creating a totally random Superion Character so you can start playing in minutes.
You will see that there may be strange combinations of powers, skills, and devices.

Back to the Dungeon ZINE for LL/AEC Issue 4
Back to the Dungeon ZINE for LL/AEC Issue 4
Well it appears that I have yet another issue of the Back to the Dungeon Zine for Labyrinth Lord/ Advance Edition Companion.
There is yet another level of The Black Stairs and a few articles of interest.
Hope your characters survive this dungeon.
If you play it then post your stories.

Reedit of the Back to the Dungeon RPG PC Guide Book 1
Hello everyone! Long time no post!
Okay here is my first significant editing of Book 1.
I did not realize how bad some of it was as I had put myself on a schedule to just release a rough draft no matter what.
My current job at 80+ hours a week has slowed down enough where I have gotten time to go over my documents.

Still not perfect but...

Hopefully it is a clearer easier read with larger size 14 fonts it should be.
The other books are on their way, I just don't have very much free time right now.

RPG Designed Like a Computer Game.
Just throwing around a few ideas while I am working my 80+ hours a week.
An RPG set up just like a computer game.
One starts out with 100 Hit Points and a story.
Choose a roll, class, or skills or just choose weapons and go start adventuring or killing monsters.
Either a generic 50% chance to hit or each weapon has a % chance to hit.
Preset movement rates.
Various enemies and such.
I am just too tired to continue.
