Episode 208: Stealing From Other Games

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
