208: Stealing From Other Games

Excess Advantage

Welcome back to Excess Advantage! Today, Scott and I discuss stealing from other games: what to steal, what not to steal and how to do it well. We discuss how to mitigate changes to the at-the-table mechanics as well as stealing prep/behind-the-scenes material whole-cloth from other games.

Specific items discussed:

The Perilous Wilds, a Dungeon World setting creation supplement

Elite Dangerous RPG, which has some of the best solar system creation rules I've ever seen

Stars Without Number, which has a great system for not only populating a cluster of star systems but also for figuring out what the main planet is like

Scott's Traveller sector generator, for automating the sector creation for Mongoose Publishing's second edition of the Traveller RPG
