Can I just say how much I love that Songbirds 3e started off as a Red Giant hack!

Also, appreciate your truthfulness about how messy and organic the creative gestation process was.

Revisiting this, I'm now thinking seriously about the OSR-ish Eco-Mofos as a system for this game.

Also worthy of consideration is FitD-based Songs for the Dusk.

Also thinking about Rosette Diceless.

Fascinated by the fact that one of the primary inspirations is A Princess of Mars.  

I'd be tempted to run this with Eco-Mofos!

I'm revisiting this during a trip to Lisbon. 

Thinking about a 16th century low fantasy game informed by Colonial Portuguese history.

I have some books on that very topic sitting besides me as I type.

Kriegsmesser seems ideal for running in this setting.

Have printed it out and slipped into my copy of Voyages.

I'm going to identify some companion adventures and might even get this to table next week for my first Troika! game!

Okay, now I have to get Space Aces: Voyages in Infinite Space to the table!!!

Love the idea of this, going to have to give it a try!

Might I suggest formally putting this into the public domain since that is your intent, specifically using the CC0 licence from the Creative Commons:

Looking forward to it!

Great stuff, truly inspirational.

I enjoyed looking up the references, so I really appreciate your putting that section in!

Hilarious, very TOS!

Partially inspired by our conversation, I have just purchased online a copy of Sisters of the Revolution: A Feminist Speculative Fiction Anthology.

The fact that it's still intact after 10 years is a good sign.

I should check how many of the stories I already have via other publications.

ISFDB is my friend for that sort of query (edited to link directly to paperback edition with list of stories therein):

Oh yeah, I knew about that one.

Hadn't got round to buying it yet.

Do you have the hardcover or the paperback? 

How robust is it? 

It's got a lot of pages, so that raises questions about the quality of the binding and the thickness of the pages which can be quite thin for the thicker anthologies.

LCRPG is a TTRPG set in an alternate retrofuturist galactic frontier where Cassette Futurism meets Solarpunk.

Thank you for the detailed response, really appreciate it and it makes a lot of sense to me.

I think you and I are on the same page regards loving the pulp and wanting more depth socially.

Would love to know the name of the anthology as I will probably already have it and if I don't I should get it.

In recent years, I've made a point of collecting anthologies of classic sci-fi.

Great, I've printed out the pocketzine onto A4, cut and folded it down to pocketsize.

Love being able to do that for a game.

Some interesting nuggets in there, like Serpentware!

I trust a character sheet is in the works too.

From my reading, this looks like a great little space opera game, compact yet packed with goodness!

I particularly like how the Professions and Specializations are used to define the skills of the PCs and help make them distinct from each other without relying on niche protection.

I quite enjoy reading notes about the intentions and choices of the designer, especially when the game in question wanders off the beaten path as this one does.

Would be great to see the sources of inspiration too, especially given that the alien races have quite the pulp sci-fi vibe!  Speaking of sources, do I detect a hint of The Ship Who Sang in the Shiphearts?

Also I was pleasantly surprised upon seeing the following in the game text:

CASSETTE FUTURISM MEETS SOLARPUNK

That really should be on the Itch page, it would help the game find its audience.

Hi, I'm just wondering if the A5 version is still in the works.

Okay, I'm good now, I found this https://pretendo.games/2022/04/06/2400-devlog-inner-system-blues/

Jason,

I'm trying to find your older devlog entries for 2400, but I can't seem to navigate to them.

Can you provide any help please? I especially want to find the original post for Inner System Blues.

This is such a brilliant idea, wish I had it when I started tinkering on my own hex maps!

Just looking at the preview on the right, I can see you've packed in a lot here and create the space for plenty of science-fantasy shenanigans.

Thanks, I very much appreciate both your reply and your Welcome Grotto rewrite!

I'm going to print this out and stick it in my copy of A Burglar's Guide to the City.

Oh my daze, I didn't know this was a thing.

I really enjoyed that Immortal Iron Fist run too.

Downloaded!

Okay, how about Decimator Smith from the Black Pulp anthology as a character.

He's someone who could rival Doc Savage and The Shadow!

I'm curious.

  1. How do you find it compared with other journaling games?
  2. What were the things you appreciated about the game text?

Yes!!!

Congratulations on the Push version.

I'm curious about the choice of system.  Was it motivated by the Push jam or were you already considering the Push mechanics and if so, what makes it a good fit for Adiotopia?

I enjoyed reading this.

I could see making Hypertellurian characters derived from the Alien archetype using the Stellar Courts as the basis for the character concepts.

Definitely generates monsters that are distinctive and interesting.

I'm put in mind of Fire on the Velvet Horizon, which is great company to be in from a "bestiary" perspective.

Congratulations on making into Issue #34!

So if you wanted to run a SCP kind of game using FIST, this is the way to go right?

Have you tried these rules with Hiroin?

Would love to hear more if you have.

I'm curious about what the inspirations for this game are.  

It seems to me that Numenera and Destiny both match the implied setting pretty well. 

Going in a different direction, I can also see possibilities for Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

I appreciate the reply.

In the context of Appraisal, Valuation is exactly the right word:
