Rule Zero (sh.itjust.works)

I get changing a rule or two here or there, but the books are expensive. If you're going to ignore 70% of the core rules, ignore 70% of a less expensive game instead.

imagine if skyrim was the most popular game of all time by an orderof magnitude and people caleld video games ‘skyrims’. and it cost ninety dollars and took up half the average computers hard drive. and then peoel would be on nexus being like ‘hi guys check out my farming sim skyrim mod’ and it just had you kiling draugr but on a farm. and people were like ‘yeah i think that you just cant do farm simulation in video games’ and if anyone brought up stardew valley theyd be like ‘okay well first of all its presumptuous to assume i can afford a second video game or have space for it on my hard drive. and Second of all when i play skyrim i just run back and forth around the towns picking up all the cabbages for seven hours on end so i don’t see why i’d need a whole game programmed to be about farming. i can play skyrim the way i want to. stop gatekeeping gaming.’ anyway thats what its like to like ttrpgs other than dungeons and dragons.

I would like to point out that I only wrote the initial RPGNet post and did not create this summary, so I am only partially to blame.

[In my experience, Cyberpunk is often just as unhelpful.]

DM: "Yes, the troubleshooters can easily track you if you carry your powered-on equipment through the orange zone."

P1: "Dang, we should have left our smartphones at home."

DM: "THEY'RE CALLED CYBERDECKS!"

P2: "What's the range of these tracking sensors?"

DM: "Uhm, I forgot which chapter this is in..."

P3: "Just CTRL+F it in the PDF I sent you to your cyberdeck"

DM: "THEY'RE CALLED SMARTPHONES!"

If a woman on a flying broom asks to give the baby a gift, say no and don't let her inside. Her gift ideas are terrible.

Never live near anyone who teaches swordfighting.

If a man in a pointy had declares your child is the chosen one, deny it and do not let him or a gift from him anywhere near the child. Your home town will last longer.

If your child begins showing signs of wild uncontrollable powers, you are doomed. Take out life insurance.
