I've been writing on a game called Rebel World where the players are part of the human resistance that fights an alien invasion force. The unique part is that the group can create their own unique aliens randomly or by choosing from lists. Take a look and let me know what you think. I could use...

Someone asked me some very good questions that I will try to answer here. Feel free to make suggestions. - How are orbs destroyed? Depending on its size and power, the Orb can be destroyed by the collective effort of at least 3 Empowered characters. They must be uninterrupted while...

I don't mind stealing :) Still on Harvesters though. Just a little history lesson on the Templars.... They actually called Knight Templars, or simply Templars. In 1309 AD, they were persecuted and arrested on false charges - which just fits the game perfectly. This is the time where the...

Please, I don't wanna end up like Xan. so you are saying that the invasion happens every 2000 years? I think I am going with Harvesters right now....Harvesters of the Void.... But keep pitching, because I am not 100% satisfied with it, and as mentioned: total OCD.

I wonder who this "Kairo" is and what happened to Xan. beyond that, yeah I think Elders/architechts of the Void works! I like the harvester thing too though....The Harvesters of Sorrow/Despair/something?

Thanks augmentedspartan! Sometimes details like names in games can make me incredibly OCD, so sorry about that.

I was just about to call you in, so good initiative - I will need everybody's perspectives. I think your names are some of the best so far! I really like them. Especially something with "void" in it - Horrors of the Void, Elders of the Void, Old ones of the Void, Void Abominations, Keepers of...

Yes - their essence is described by Architects of the End. I would like a shorter name too - something simple, like Overlords, Seers, Lord of Fate. I suppose we could call the Architects for short? I'd like everyone to chime in here.

Yes. I will take two completely different approaches to each project. The action-based one is in development. When I get to the more story-based adventure, I will need some guidelines from DL gamers - what they need, what they don't need, what to expand on, what do leave up to the GM, etc. Oh...

Thanks for posting - that's the second vote for the huge city-smashing creature - I'm going with that. Also, I might write more than one scenario, depending on how the first one pans out - I would like to showcase the different styles by doing the first example you mention, Xan - more social...

Thanks, that was precisely the kind of info I was looking for. You make a good point about the jump point for a larger campaign . but I think the safer bet is to go big! Meaning your latter suggestion. I think it has the best story, and Marseille won't be the same in the modern era....

I agree with everything you just said. Yes. the entire campaign will be a long and complicated one; but lots of people play massively complicated campaigns. And yes, I think we should relinquish control of facts to the GMs; give them as much wiggle room as possible. That's what a good...

I agree - that was the intention with Dark Globe; giving the group total freedom to pick whatever aspect they want and just use that. I think the problem arises when the group is unclear on exactly which aspects they want to use. This requires a GM to limit the game to a few aspects. The...

Yes, I get what you're saying. What I want is to give the GM options. If I had to say what Dark Globe is about in short, it would be about destroying the orbs before the cosmic Abominations invade Earth. The point of the other aspects is how you fight the orbs - the setting never lets go of...

The girl with Questions is back with a vengeance! And you don't disappoint..... let's see: 1) Yes, but it depends on what kind of game you're running. It would be fine for a PbP game, but very hard to manage at a table. 2) That is a great point: the players need to feel like they're...
