SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I wonder if InSpectres would play more like Ghostbusters or SOS Fantome?

I still think the "Once Upon a Time" card game is the best story game that isn't generally recognised as a story game. It's all purely about telling a story, and it's your own story-weaving skills that determine your chances of winning, it's good and quick, it uses a genre which requires no introduction, and all it requires is an audience which is open to a bit of improv - and even then, it's third-person storytelling rather than first-person acting, which some may find less embarrassing.

The only thing it lacks is anything resembling an RPG element. Which is why it's the purest story game of all, to my mind - it's designed from the ground up as a story game, rather than trying to steer games based on different priorities into storygame territory.
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

That was pretty funny.

In my experience, it's probably a bit of both.

The poor still weak the rich still rule
