I'm on vacation this week, so this roundup may be a little shorter than normal, but let's go ahead and dive into it, shall we?

gamingonlinux, RPG 'Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness' is set to get a big DLC and free upgrade https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/11/rpg-black-geyser-couriers-of-darkness-is-set-to-get-a-big-dlc-and-free-upgrade/
arda, Is there a resemblance between Dribbles of Baldur's Gate 3 and Buggy D the Clown of One Piece?
Dribbles' makeup looks very similar to marine logo of One Piece, and the story line... (anything else will be a spoiler)

majorlinux, I have gone from one #RPG to another.
While I haven't given up on #Starfield, #ForzaMotorsport has now taken over.

kerfuffle, Ran my first #Alien #RPG physical #tabletop session as GM tonight, my last time as a DM being 20 years ago in AD&D, and it was a great success!
Chariot of the Gods is a bit of a chaotic book for a GM to get a complete picture of what the players may/must encounter, but I made enough preparations to make it go smooth, even with players having to learn the game system. Act 1 (of 3) took 3,5 hours to get to the cliffhanger.
Recommended scenario for anyone interested in getting into the game!
jake4480, Wow, I actually beat the mobile version of Quest of Dungeons. Only did it ONCE on Switch, the main part, which is apparently all there is to the mobile part. On Switch, when you beat the first part, there's another part (which I haven't beaten yet - it's TOUGH).
The key is ALWAYS good armor. Luck and good weapons help too, but not dying instantly from powerful boss hits is key. The armor I had kicked my dodge chance WAY up.
Dig how it keeps track of all those stats, too. 🤣 Tapped almost 8 thousand times! 🤯

WhyNotZoidberg,
nukehavoc, Contemplating my next subject for my #KnightsOfTheDinnerTable column. Last few topics: #SoloRPG #SavageWorlds #JunkDrawer (random #RPG stuff found online) #CarWars #Blogs #Dungeon23 #CyberpunkRED
Thinking about going lists of random lists; I've got a bunch of those kinds of sites squirreled away.
Might also do another round of #Mothership because I'm working on a #OneShot for #MEPACON. I haven't written about that in a year or so, and the boxed set drops soon (fingers crossed)
AfterthoughtC, I was playing Cassette Beasts the past few days and I found that Animon Story's TTRPG system could probably be easily modded to Cassette Beasts' setting.

nukehavoc, #RPGaDay23 Old Game You Still Play - The #RPG answer had been #GURPS Lite (1998) which powered our Generically Fast and Furious Lunchtime Game but that campaign wrapped in January.
Other old games?

mariatta, I received my copy of Star Ocean The Second Story R yesterday, and started playing it.
The graphics are beautiful! 😍 Wow!
The remake is not just updating the graphics but a whole new battle system too. Feels like I'm learning how to play it all over again.

sharan, My girlfriend just gifted me Baldur's Gate 3.
Unfortunately, my SSD is so small. 😹
Let's see if I can run it from HDD.

Mela, German Celestial Chorus "One-Shot" Session 2: Der Rabbi und der Monist arbeiten hastig an einem Ritual um ihre Fähigkeiten zu kombinieren. Auf der Suche nach einem verbindenden Element, zückt der Monist ein Buch "Ich und Du" und der Rabbi zückt ein Werk von Maimonides.
Mitspieler: "Yay, Chorister Book Club."

nukehavoc, #RPGaDay2023 Game You Wish You Owned -
The game supplements I wished I owned are the announced, but never published, sourcebooks for The Day After Ragnorak. I loved the “Conan the Barbarian: 1948” setting when it came out in 2009. The basic setup is that in the waning days of World War II, the Nazis summoned the Midgard Serpent into the real world.
And then Americans nuked it. https://www.nuketown.com/rpg-a-day-2023-game-you-wish-you-owned/ #SavageWorlds #RPG #Ragnorak

nukehavoc, #RPGaDAY2023 - Favorite Convention Purchase
My favorite convention purchase is #SavageWorlds Explorers Edition at #GenCon 2007. At the time, I think I had the 2nd edition Savage Worlds hardcover book, which was a standard RPG format. It didn’t particularly excite me or my group; I bought it more out of curiosity than anything else. #RPG
The Explorers Edition though, that was a different story. https://www.nuketown.com/rpg-a-day-2023-favorite-convention-purchase/
