@DungeonChatter @Daniel_author @philoso_panda @Hadrians_Gate @DR_W_UT Thank you, T-Boy. ❤ your support after all these years. Have followed all.

While I'm writing the next version of Icar #ttrpg, I like to look at some of the art I'm looking forward to redoing with my update skills. Here's a Vulture Grav car from 2010. #rpg #ttrpg

@DungeonChatter Depends on setting!
For modern/sci fi: defined damage depending on weapon
For fantastical: counting success as it's quicker, less error probe and leads to lower HP numbers, so easier maths.

@MatthewIdler - Things that PCs interact with (places, people, items)
- History that can generate plot hooks
- For sandboxes: list of big bads, their motivations, random events
- One line descriptions of important NPCs
- List of example campaign endings

"Fix it with MORE BLACK, Naomi!" said Pen-ginn, whose belligerent art direction took its toll on Rob's attempt to reimagine the budget "Blackwater" space craft from Icar #ttrpg #drawing

Icar is my free kitchen-sink sci fi #ttrpg, evolving online since '96. Currently working on v5. Here's the character sheet as a taste.

Can I scribble an Icar MK3 droid from memory in the time it takes for my 2yo daughter to realise I have borrowed one of her pencils? Answer? Ish. Looks more cuddly in pencil. 😁 #ttrpg #Sketching

@DungeonChatter Thank you! That means a lot. It's a slog and blogging and sharing is part of keeping the momentum going.

The original was awful. I think it dates back to 1999/2000.

@DungeonChatter You could push it back to "Wizarding" if you really get stuck! 😁

@Gordon_mck That's a good shout. I'm rewriting the corporations and struggling to make the text *useful*. If text doesn't add flavour, spark a plot hook for a GM or help players out of a hole then it's detail for detail sake and must be cut. #ttrpg #rpgdesign

[Icar - Free Sci Fi TTRPG @IcarRPG]

The corporation and syndicate section of Icar is 8000 words! 🖋 That needs some serious editing ✂ I can use fewer words to provide the same flavour and give GM and players hook ideas. If it can't be used, it's fluff and must go. 👋 #ttprg #writing #gamedev #rpg #SciFi

@DungeonChatter I'd say catastrophic.

@GlossandGadgets @JonMarkHicks @norsefoundry @LordStargazer @ScrivTheBard @DungeonChatter Spot on! I knew you'd make an excellent hacker. 👍😊

@JonMarkHicks @DungeonChatter @norsefoundry @LordStargazer @GlossandGadgets @ScrivTheBard I think he's a milk-in-first kind of tea maker.

As a bonus, here's a mix-media Icar artwork of a Tornado waiting for the sunset. 🚀🌌🌅
