Warhounds drew my interest on Steam, but I didn't buy it. After a bit of Googling, I found out that the company that currently publishes the game has strong Russian ties, despite being listed as based in the US.

Given the tendancy for despotic regimes to use tech to monitor its citizens and foreigners and Russia's decades-long history of hacking banks and other institutions around the world, would YOU trust this game on your hard drive?

As much as I'd love to see another JA title, one that brings things into the modern era with less whimsy, I don't think I can bring myself to install a piece of Russian software.

Thoughts? Am I being irrational?

I'm looking to play in a Dark Victorian game, something in a fictional setting similar to Victorian London and New York, with strong inspirations from John Constantine, the occult, The Ninth Gate movie, the Gothic Horror genre, Penny Dreadful and maybe throwing in some minor steampunk elements (industry, steam carriages, dirigibles, etc.). I'm envisioning revolvers, waistcoats, cool hats, gangsters, dusty tomes and rituals in the sewers, battling cults and evil spirits, corruption at every level of society and so on.

Definitely looking for something with the feel of playing a rogue scholar or warlock in a world that mostly doesn't believe in magic and supernatural creatures, but one where they exist and tug at the strings of man. I have a lot of the seting already made, but I am happy to discuss it and completely scrap it if a GM doesn't like it.

I was just wondering if anyone out there is open to possibly GMing this for 1 player.

As far as system, I was thinking of using a modified version of Rider, which is a western game using the same engine as Traveler (2d6 system) because it's pretty simple but I'm open to other suggestions. Call of Cthulhu comes to mind and it's a game with which I have some familiarity

Notes:

• In my 30s
• Working headset
• Mostly working head, lol
• Require someone over the age of 25

Due to timezone and languages, I'm looking for someone from North America, but might be willing to stretch the schedule for a nice person from the UK. I don't mind if you're a new GM, or new to a particular system or genre, we can discuss it. I don't mind helping.

My GM and I are using the Harn system on Foundry VTT and we've found that the "delete" trashbin icon in a character's gear tab is off-screen, no matter how far we stretch the character sheet window.

The tutorial images show the trashbin as visible and not being able to use it, we have massively over-encumbered characters with affected stats. Does anyone know how to fix this? Do we know if the Harn module is still being developed?

Hey folks. I'm looking for a GM for a 1-on-1 Star Wars game. I have some thoughts to get our conversation started and am a very active and collaborative player. I'm from the eastern US and would prefer to play with other people from North America to make things easier.

Notes:
- I'm in my mid-30s
- Only looking for people over 25
- I am reliable and respective of others' time
- No content restrictions
- Any experience level

System: Any Star Wars except the one from FFG with the funky dice. I cut my teeth on Saga Edition, so that would be great, but I'm open to most of them.

Please PM me your Discord and we can talk a little, see if we mesh well. Thanks in advance!

Small scenes in messy hotel rooms, picking through crime scenes, shakily navigating an abandoned building with a flashlight and a 9mm, I need Delta Green in my life. Beginning with a "simple" incidnet such as investigating a serial killer, then spiraling out of control as the metaphorical floor falls out beneath you as you begin to question everything.

If you've never ready any of my many LFG posts over the years, I'm in my mid-30s and I'm a big fan of atmosphere, even more than mechanics. I've been a gamemaster in a lot of systems and am a fan of the psychological horror and juxtaposition that comes along with Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green. I'm also very active as a roleplayer, I pursue things, I have goals, I get in touch with my character, etc..

So I'm looking for a GM to help me create a dark experience in a 1-on-1 "duet" style game. Please feel free to PM me here on Reddit to discuss, or send me your Discord information. I ask that you be an adult and actually want to run a game (not fake me out, which happens) but I don't mind if you're a little new to Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu, or even to GMing.

Note: I'd prefer Delta Green but I will absolutely, happily. play Call of Cthulhu (one of my favorite games).

Could someone PLEASE, for the love of all this holy, tell me what these type of pants/trousers are called? I've heard "puffy pants", viking pants, trousers, etc. but no actual historical name.

Has anyone else experienced your mobile app, that you've used for a long time, suddenly being logged-out?

I found this a few weeks ago and tried to log back in today and realized I forgot my password, because my PC automatically logs into Steam. So I tried to recover it and now my account is locked out entirely and I still can't try to recover it after waiting an hour and a half.

Anyway, does anyone know why your mobile app would log out when you use it as your 2-factor authentication? Seems odd it would be able to log itself out at all.

I don't really like that most lords can walk around with so many soldiers all day/every day and don't seem to have to worry about food or upkeep. It feels highly unbelievable that a lone noble who owns one poor castle can support a full 250-man garrison plus another 100+ soldiers in his party.

Does anyone know of a mod that reduces party sizes?

Hey folks, I'm currently waiting on a few irons in the fire and would love something to play today or tomorrow. I've been in the hobby since 2010 as a GM and a player. I'm even willing to lower my standards enough to play D&D, lol. Happy to play a temporary character, an NPC, benefactor, pilot, ship captain or something else to help the party or deliver plot, if a player slot is not available.

Adults only, free only, voice only (no text).

Please feel free to PM me. My timezone is in the title, as required and if you send me your Discord username I'll add you to discuss.

Good gaming to everyone!

I think polls might be disabled in this sub, or I just don't know what I'm doing, so I decided to post this in text.

Now that I've been recently branching out, away from longswords, I've found I actually enjoy clubs and polearms more than I thought I would. I still think it's somewhat immersion-breaking that I can pull a halberd out of my pocket and I'm still not settled on a favorite category yet. I also sometimes find I like the idea or look of a weapon, but not the stats or usage.

Do you all have a favorite weapon category? What about a specific favorite weapon?

Side Note: I recently tried a blunt-only playthrough with wooden weapons and dressed as a priest. That obviously didn't last long, lol.

Finished my latest playthrough of KCD2 as a stealth-focused character. I found that, at least toward the end of the game, no one slept in villages or camps. They were always walking around and also I poisoned a lot of food pots and wine barrels, but no one consumed them.

So, has anyone noticed if there's a point to this? Is it even possible to poison enemy soldiers?

I have a lot of systems I'd love to try and although I GM some of them, I just don't have the time or bandwidth to GM all of them. The same goes with my campaign/character ideas/concepts.

So I'm looking for a GM who would like to engage in a collaborative, personal 1-on-1 experience to enjoy better pacing and narrative depth.

About the Player:

• Collaborative and active
• Lots of personal initiative
• Respectful of others' time
• Mid-30s
• About 16 years of experience as both GM and player

Ideal GM:

• Reliable
• English-speaker (I can't speak anything else, unless you want to sign)
• Any Experience Level
• At least 25 years old

At this point, I almost exclusively play 1-on-1 and am willing to try a lot of different systems. My preferences tend toward simulationism and less rules-light.

A Few Concepts/Themes I Enjoy:

• Intrigue / Politics / Dialogue
• Occultism
• Necromancy
• Cosmic and Gothic Horror
• Military Action
• Empire-building
• Business Management
• Resource Management
• Anti-hero
• Emergent Gameplay
• Sandbox Gameplay
• Leadership

Please feel free to PM me your Discord info to discuss further and set up a call.

So I just finished October Faction, mainly because I couldn't sleep. It was crazy bad. How did something this atrocious land on Netflix and not regular daytime American TV?

I can understand poor acting, worse writing, low budget, and crappy CGI. But even the GUNS were bad! They sound like laser guns from 1970s space fiction! Who does that!?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me I'm not the only one.

Anyway, what are your thoughts, everyone?

My friend and I are trying to setup a massive urban map on Foundry and thus need a high DPI image of a city map with things like buildings, roads and rail lines. We've tried to use various tools to force a Google map of a city, and it gets close, but the maps can EITHER be zoomed in enough to show buildings and roads, or far out enough to show the whole city.

Does anyone have ways to make a large metropolis map (even just with square buildings) from a Google Maps image?

I've tried Promblemtrain's random city generator, it just doesn't have some of the other things we need.

Dark alleys, old-school fashion, revolvers in waistcoats, swords in canes, vampires, intrigue, mad scientists, serial killers, investigations, the occult, etc.

How's that tagline?

I'm interested in playing a 1-on-1 Dark Victorian kind of game loosely inspired by fiction such as Call of Cthulhu, Dracula, Penny Dreadful, Hellblazer (Constantine), and various Urban Fantasy IPs.

I'm in my mid 30s and have had some bad experiences with younger GMs online. So I need a GM who is friendly and at least somewhat reliable (life happens) and 25+. I'm open to any experience level!

System: as I've tagged in the title, I'm open to a few different ways to run this game. I have the wild west RPG Rider, Call of Cthulhu 7th and Unhallowed Metropolis, all of which could prove helpful. Do you have other ideas? Share them!

The Setting: I'm looking for a massive urban sprawl, the decaying heart of a decadent society with class conflict and conceal horrors. Magic should be ritualist, dark and persectuted. Corruption, bribery, vampirism, the occult and restless dead, underground chambers, airships and witches. Combustion and steam-powered carriages, motorcycles, etc..

Especially Interested In:

• Unhallowed Metropolis
• Call of Cthulhu
• Adventurer, Conquerer, King (ACKS) 2
• Rider rpg (Independence Games)
• Eldritch rpg

Send me a PM if you want to discuss!

I've been impressed as a first-time poster here, at the level of bias and pro-violence the members here possess. Has anyone done any polling or census work in here to sort out all the inherent bias?

I've actually just had someone here tell me a 9-month pregnant woman up against a wall, unarmed and surrounded by cops, "poses a threat" because she could "scratch" an officer with her fingernails and thus deserved to be thrown to the ground.

Could all the neo-nazis in the sub please stand up?

So, I'm posting this because I'd like to hear from anyone in the sub involved in law enforcement. When you watch the video and read the response from law enforcement in the article, what is your first thought as someone involved in the same career?

I'm trying to understand why an officer would throw a non-resiting, non-threatening and unarmed 9-month pregnant woman around like a rag-doll then others would actually JOIN IN. If you were an officer in this arrest, would you help the woman or do as these did and help attack her?

If your answer is the latter, please explain why. Because if there's a good reason, I'd love to know as it's entirely possible I'm missing something here. Help me understand the psychology of law enforcement.

I hate to even post this question for fear of it being labeled as bait, but if it is, then surely that just means there's no good answer?

Addendum: I wasn't expecting much positivity when I made this post. But the level of delusion from some of the commenters astounds me. It's incredible how we can watch the same footage and someone can say the officer is the victim. Blows my mind. Either I'm very concerned for your mental health, or you're such a compulsive denier that nothing you say can be given any credit anyway.

I have an opportunity to play either version of Harnmaster in the title. The one from Columbia and the one from Kelestria. However, I can't find any good videos on Youtube comparing the two, just reviewing one by itself.

Could someone give me the highlights of just the differences between the two? I'd appreciate it.

Note: I'm coming from a lot of systems, including Runequest/Mythras, Call of Cthulhu, ACKSII, etc. so I'm not uncomfortable with skills based on attribute combinations, etc.. I'm just wondering why I would pick one of these versions over the other.
