Exciting to hear. I'm sure you'll do better than Oriental Adventures did with them (not that I blame them, research would've been harder back then). ...Wait, why past tense?
Quote from: Zelen on May 13, 2024, 09:22:41 PMMy stance is that lore is incredibly important, but anyone who cares about lore at this point should see the writing on the wall for Battletech.
It's a lot less damaging for "the lore" to accept a spin-off with renamed factions + characters that keeps the underlying themes, tone, style, than to continue on supporting a game/IP which is compromised by malicious actors whose expressed goals are to subvert that story/setting.
Quote from: The Angry GMIt's like this: if you take everything I already taught you about running a game like a True Game Master and you combine it with the crap about stealth and sneaking and perception and awareness I over-explained above — and which I previously explained as part of my speech on Problematic Actions — you'll get the secret sauce that makes stealth scenes work. That sauce is called dynamism. Good-feeling stealth moments and infiltration scenes — whether the players are doing the hiding or the seeking — are a back-and-forth game of "this is what you know; now how do you react?"
