    The authors of the spiritual successor of Rollcage - GRIP are making a second game called GRIP XR.

    Personally GRIP was already a great success to me and if I had any say I would be happy with just a polishing update for GRIP (bugs, more MP lobby options) instead of a completely different variant but after playing the demo for a bit I am not going to lie it feels good too.

    Hello (tt)rpg people!

    Easter is coming and so is my get-together with my friends to play TTRPGs for ~three days straight this weekend.
    Last time we played one of the Mothership RPG stories and while there was a bit of friction ("you are not the almighty hero") it was still pretty awesome for me as a DM.

    This year I have an idea for a (for us) different one-shot - Ghost Busters but its just a party full of paladins maybe getting hired for odd jobs in a fantasy setting?
    maybe even phantasmagoria - a cross between parts of a modern world and fantasy (e.g. embracing the Sending Stones as phones trope etc).
    I am keeping the definition a bit loose in my head and not strictly focused on being a parody of the GB movies so basically anything goes, it's supposed to be really light and just funny.

    If you have any potentially funny ideas, be it bits, custom spells, "combat scenarios" or puzzles please share! I am running a bit dry :D


    Also, still not sure if I want to use our usual system Pathfinder 2E for this.
    My players default to being (red) button pushers - but are always open to try different things, I wouldn't do this if that was not the case.
    They like to build characters to primarily try out the class combat features & combos, but with this being a one-shot I want to try a more narrative heavy approach - a collective story-telling thing (though my players will definitely need RP hints).
    The alternatives I got are either D&D 5e for being simpler then pf2e (and actually having a Paladin as a simple class compared to PF). My searches led me to Shadowdark being a super simple system but I have never tried it.
    Either way my current idea is to just pick the core ideas of pf2e/d20 systems and then go with the flow after that.
    If anyone can recommend or has an idea how to handle the system when it comes to rules-light, narrative gameplay please share.

    Thank you!

     

    Update From Brandon

    Hey, all! News has broken. Rather than post on all the threads, I figured I would do a new post here with some info and thoughts.

    In May I flew to Hollywood to start looking for a new partner on the Cosmere. This is something I've done before, but this time it was different. I'd been off the market for many years, working with Epic and my friends there.

    That means this was my first time being in Hollywood with my Cosmere rights since...oh, 2016?

    This time, I got to meet the real decision makers. Not just producers or low level executives. And this led to some really tough choices. I got the red carpet treatment, and liked everyone I met.

    The decision to pick Apple was due to two factors. First, the level of approvals and control. Apple wants to be a true partner with me, and they feel like they really get what I want to do. Second, their track record. Apple does fewer things, but with higher quality, than some other studios. I find virtually every thing of theirs I watch is excellent and creator driven.

    Join me for a livestream on Friday, probably 6pm mountain. I'll talk more then. But I will be writing the Mistborn screenplay myself over the next 5 months, as my full time work. Goal is for a theatrical Mistborn, then Stormlight show after. Focus on doing it carefully and right.

    I promise not to get too distracted to do books. However, if I want this done right, I need to give some real attention and heart to it now.
