 RPG a Day 2024, day 29: Awesome App ? My first thought is that I don't know of any apps that I use. Then I thought some more, and yeah there are a couple. There's the character generator app for the new version of Mothership, Mothership Companion (I have not yet tried it), there's the dice app for Genesys that I have used (as I am not buying those dice. Our GM had to buy 3 sets for the game to work). Then I got to thinking, what apps do I actually use in gaming, and the answer was obvious. Discord . I use discord as an app and in my browser all the time, and the app on my phone for online gaming.  Discord was a lifesaver when the pandemic rolled around, and Roll20 had a very poor voice/video interface. Discord has become a place of community/communities online where previous platforms have lost usability. Discord is an awesome app.

 RPG a Day 2024, day 15: Great character gear ? Great character gear? Cyberpunk. Any flavour. Next question? In cyberpunk, more than any other game, it's all about the gear. This goes for most cyberpunk games, but the R Talsorian Cyberpunk games excel in this. Go look up the chrome books, or the new one, Black Chrome . More than any other game, your character is defined by their gear, and their look (fashion choices, aka gear).  Shadowrun too, to some extent, though the inclusion of races in that book alleviates the need to show niche through choice of chrome.  Our current cyberpunk game, Android, falls down on this point for me. There seems to be a distinct lack of gear. I'm playing a runner, and even there, my choices are very limited. This is one of the failures for me. I agree this might be due to my expectations set back in the day by Cyberpunk, but I will not apologise for that.

 RPG a Day, day 2. Most Recently Played Game. Game night was last night, and after a month or so pause between sessions, we played Genesys/Android Shadow of the Beanstalk . Not that we had over a month's pause of gaming, just that game. In between we played 3 sessions of Labyrinth, and 2 sessions of Mothership 1e.  I think I have thoughts on the Genesys system, but I will reserve them till after I have played more than 2 sessions of the game.
