Oh, I wish. 😁

Thanks!

It’s also fun to draw them.

Never considered myself good at drawing, so I imitate a lot. And I think my skills are getting better (or at least less bad XD).

I assume board games are not an option? I’ve played Salem with probably 10 players and it’s quite fun. It will take much less than 6 hours though.

But I don’t want to leave just challenging the question without suggestions, so I’ll ramble on…

I’m thinking very quick character creation (if anything because I have players who are unable to take less than an hour doing so), perhaps something like Mothership or pretty much any PbtA. Or pregens.

Spotlight time will be an issue, so a something with very fast combat mechanics should be very important.

I’m pondering if it’s worth a shot trying something like Dread, but I’m not sure if 6 hours is too long for a game like Dread.

I’m curious: do the 12 of you (+GM) usually play all at the same time?

Yeah. Very well summarized.

Perhaps I’d also add that the advancement is earned with blood and sweat. 😅

I suppose YMMV, but to me it’s central. You see, the Hunter becomes a hunter because she heard a higher calling, and believing in it is what keeps it going.

You can rename Conviction to Faith, and it probably shows what I’m hinting at. That faith can get you out of trouble (supernaturally so) but it’s also precious. You’re still human, flimsy and prone to errors, susceptible to doubt.

And you’re way out of your league. All the time.

In oWoD’s Hunter: The Reckoning, you can’t advance your Edges (supernatural abilities) with XP.

To do so, you have to gamble Conviction during the session, while using said Edges (those Conviction points gambled add dice to your pool, ideally improving your odds).

If you succeed at the task, you gain Virtues (with which you can later buy points in Edges).

if you fail the task, you lose Conviction points. If you run out of Conviction, you lose your ability to use Edges at all until you rest/meditate/recover for a full week.

Not sure if it qualifies as “conceptual” or non-mechanical to you. But I love it.

I sort of became lost with Stellagama’s offerings after the Cepheus family. 😅

Anyway, Quantum does ring a bell, but Quantum Dark didn’t.

Edit: turns out I do own the base Quantum PDF. That’s why it rung a bell, I guess.

Hadn’t heard of this one.

I don’t think you meant something like this, but I couldn’t not do it 🙃:

Oooh. TIL.

Ah, I assume you missed it. Last month’s Humble Bundle did include Cyberpunk Red.

It was kinda pricey, though.

Fixed it.

Right! Thanks.

Cool. Hadn’t even heard of that one.

Gave it a quick glance… apparently it doesn’t “break character” absolutely anywhere.

I guess only Dyson and Schley are widely known. But do check them out.

In general? Randy Musseau, Dyson Logos, Mike Schley, Eneko Menika, and Guillaume Tavernier.

But I also lurk in mapmaking communities and gawk at all kinds of maps.

Thanks! That’s the first time I tried something like that.

Of course, I saw it elsewhere and then tried to replicate it.

Yup, like @FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works said, to get a sense of the scale.

I was thinking doodling some on index cards. Is that cool?

Sure, index cards should be fair game.
