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 received a copy of Godbound for Christmas and really enjoy what I've read.  I'm gearing up for a campaign that'll start later this spring.  I'll probably kit-bash my own world together for it.  It does look like an excellent set of rules for playing Exalted written by someone who knows how to right coherent game rules! :)

I've also played a pretty lengthy Stars without Number campaign and found it to be an excellent game as well.  I've never been a bit one to follow game writers, but I definitely have seen that Kevin has an excellent track record so far.

What I like most about Godbound is using it to wean folks off Exalted. I'm 3/3 on that.
Running: RC D&D, 5e D&D, Delta Green

I backed it and I've read bits. It's good stuff and I'm excited to use it whole or snag bits. AKA, what I do with SWN.

As I've needed something even lighter, I've been using Kevin's Exemplars & Eidolons
http://www.rpgnow.com/product/144651/Exemplars--Eidolons
Its a free download and it uses the proto-Godbound system.

As for SWN, I've run it and I'm a happy camper.
For me, it does not replace Classic Traveller, but SWN is a treasure trove of materials easily ported to CT.
On its own, SWN does a good job - the prominence of psionics is a fun difference.

Quote from: danskmacabre;1025398Here's links to an overview of the character gen part and actual gameplay of SWN revised:

Session 1 - Character gen

Session 1 - Gameplay
https://rpgworkshop.wordpress.com/2018/02/14/stars-without-number-revised-edition-1st-gameplay/

We played again last night, Session 2, which I'll be writing up next.
I'm running SWN revised every fortnight.

I have yet to write up the first Godbound session a couple of weeks ago, which was Character gen and Gameplay.
I'm running another session this Friday of Godbound.
I'll try to get them written up soon.

Thanks for posting those.  I have it, and plan to put it in a different system.  I will probably never run it as is, but those help me to make that conversion.
