Work on a hardcopy starts today

I will be starting on a re-usable one shot called Alien Arena today. Players represent evil corpos that send their alien creatures into an arena that the players create. Aliens are generated by a python program and the hardcopy will include some tech cards and kilodice. My goal is to have it crowd sourced in 2026. SRD https://rules.expgame.com

    because they struggle with punctuation and paragraph structure instead we should foster an inclusive environment that values the content and intent of their communication rather than its adherence to rigid formalities additionally there are cultural differences in writing styles that must be considered what is deemed appropriate or acceptable in one language or cultural context may not hold true in another imposing a universal standard for punctuation and paragraph use would ignore these important variations and contribute to a homogenization of global communication that undermines cultural diversity therefore while punctuation and paragraphs undoubtedly play a crucial role in enhancing the clarity and effectiveness of written communication it is neither practical nor fair to enforce their use universally across all forms of media doing so would overlook the rich diversity of expressive styles the unique challenges faced by different individuals and the evolving nature of language itself instead we should encourage a more flexible and inclusive approach to writing that respects and accommodates the myriad ways in which people choose to express themselves

  • In the olden daze folks would argue over how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. Fighting over a sociopathic multi-national's IP canon seems very much like arguing over pin heads and angels.

  • Yes the name a bit of a joke, an homage to #douglasadams I now have increased urgency to include a link back to rules.expgame.com. Thanks for taking a look. #ttrpg

  • Made some things for RPG peeps

    Made some things to support #ttrpg outliers. A kilodie roller for assisting attack tables in EXP, and 4d2 roller for assisting #rpg decisions.

    Going from #python to JSHTMLCSS pronounced jushtumulksis is tough, but manipulating the DOM is very cool. I wouldn't want to be hating anything else.

  • Thanks for the tips I was just contemplating what the markdown was for lists. I like lists. I also just discovered source and preview which are very helpful. I tried to answer your request today (but six months later) all the deets are here at expgame.com. Thanks for asking.

  • expgame – a sciency fiction role playing game

    I created this community about half a year ago to learn how to create a community. I was fully expecting the usual complete absence of humanity that most other socials entail. Needless to say I was pleasantly shocked to have a real person ask a question. I will try and pin this to the top. Maybe humans will be interested maybe not. :)

    EXP is a sciency fiction tabletop role-playing game. EXP is not a video game, a movie or an app. You play EXP with dice and other people. Enjoy.

    EXP is a heavily play tested, rigorously edited, RPG on its 7th version. It has a history that stretches from a 1970s home brew to yesterday’s git push. EXP is under active development. The game is Free and open source (CC 4.0 share with attribution), and available on the web or GitHub. EXP was inspired by the RPGs Metamorphosis Alpha and Gamma World.

    The game itself is mythos light sciency fiction with loads of tech, mutations, and lots of rules. Settle combat with a tactical war game like system or a story based theatrical one. The tactical system uses a kilodie mechanic, to allow for highly granular combat tuning. The theatrical system uses a 4D2 mechanic, to create descriptive narrative outcomes. The ruleset is resilient and rules can be shed without collapsing playability. There are support tools for generating personas and rolling dice.

    Everything described above is available here
