FROTH games

 I've been toying with an idea, or concept for a type of TTRPG...

I decided to call it "FROTH", or "FROTH games". 

What is FROTH? It's an acronym, F.R.O.T.H. stands for "Fantasy Rules of the House".

FROTH is a big categorization of TTRPGs, totally arbitrary and made up by myself, but I use it to classify certain types of games or systems.

I created a website for it... as a concept and to explain the idea and philosophy behind it, but also to share my FROTH games subsystems and procedures.

But I'll try to explain what a FROTH game is in this post.

FAR GALAXY: Roleplaying in a galaxy far, far away

tl;dr: FAR GALAXY is my take on a homebrew, minimalistic RPG system to play in the Star Wars™ universe.

re.SERIALIZED, or how to add a campaign mode to an RPG designed to be a one-shot game

 In a previous post I wrote about CBR+PNK and some of my ideas for hacks and addons for it. At that time I talked a little bit about a "campaign mode". I also wrote about they totally unnecessary need for a longform mode for a game that is specifically designed to accommodate one-shots. The whole gist of CBR+PNK is, after all, that you are on YOUR LAST RUN.

Having said that, I feel like the game is a very solid framework for Cyberpunk Edgerunners doing missions ala Shadowrun style, and a serialized format works well with that sub-genre.
