Been playing “No Thank You, Evil” with the family for a few years, with me mostly running the sessions. Recently, I’ve been sharing GM responsibilities with the kids and they’re having fun with it. Our session from this past Friday ended with me permanently passing the NTYE guide torch to them, along with an in-game “new-to-us” clunker of a spaceship to give inspiration and a ride to the group’s new adventures.
While NTYE is fun an all and we’re not going to stop playing anytime soon, I’ve been wanting to give something new a try for a while and have been exploring other TTRPGs to play. Pathfinder sparked my interests, but since NTYE is Cypher-lite and I don’t want to overburden the kids with too much of a rules change, I’ve been leaning towards settings using the Cypher System. I love the artwork and concept of Predation, dinosaurs and sci-fi tech. Who doesn’t want to hang with a dinosaur with laser cannons that can watch your back while you’re hacking into a SATI mainframe? So that’s why I’m currently reading through the Predation material and prepping for our first session for this coming Friday.
