I just got the second edition of Ultra Violet Grasslands and have been reading it a lot.

I’m planning to run it at some point, but I didn’t like the system it comes with (Synthetic Dream Machine - the new version of SEACAT). Have anyone used other systems to run UVG? Any recommendations or tips? I’m thinking of using Into the Odd/Bastionland, but still not sure.

Which system(s) are you itching to play but haven't yet? in c/[email protected]

I think BRP style skill resolution is good because it’s boring.

I always thought about this as well. It's so simple, yet so effective. You don't need to fiddle with target numbers, crazy probabilities, etc. Players instantly know how much they need on the dice and what are their changes. It's super easy for new players to understand it.

I love the character creation system as well, I wish more games had that (I know a few have, but we need more!).

I’m a little bit sad about the sale. It’s mainly core books and bundles. Almost no dice or other supplements are on sale for any systems.

Thoughts on skills in OSR systems and WWN (self.osr)
 

I know a lot of players have strong opinions on skills/feats in OSR systems, afaik normally towards the negative side. But even then, I often see Worlds Without Number (WWN) as one of the most recommended system around, and that system has skills/feats.

So, I'm just curious on why is that? Is it because of the way they are implemented? Or maybe people are recommending it more for the GM tools and guidance instead of the system itself? What do you all think about the skills/feats implementation on WWN? Any other opinions on skills/feats systems in OSR games in general?
