Take a guess… But I haven’t been on reddit for a long time.

wish me luck :) I’ll keep you updated.
I wish I could have helped properly. Now I got to know the cool app and you had to find a “hack”. Anyways, I hope you find our content useful. I was a bit lazy during the weekend, but I’m compiling topics/“needToKnows” for session zero. Greatly influenced by this very post here.
Interesting, I need to check it out. Have you tried searching again? sh.itjust.works probably did not know lemm.ee the first time. it should show up now.
I’m also at the very beginning of my lemmy-journey, but I help to the best of my ability (what’s wefwef? - just to approximate my ability^^)

I believe it hits the sweet spot on many levels, including:
Combat is much quicker resolved (and, as stated above, much more streamlined and fluid than pathfinder or DnD). A character has at most 6 Hitpoints (his strength), and losing those points makes him weaker (because they use strength to do melee attacks as well). At the same time, becoming “broken” takes you out of the fight and you receive a critical injury, possibly, but not necessarly, death. Call it - more dangerous, but less deadly.
I in fact love it enough to have opened the lemmy community.
Edit: I think it’s vital to have a Session 0, especially with players accustomed to D&D.
Let me know what you think.
I can warmly recommend Mechwarrior Destiny. Very narrative, rules-light and cinematic. Features from FitD can be implemented without troubles (I’ve seen Actual plays doing it.)
I myself never played S&V, but I suspect it’s pretty star-wars-y. Coriolis is surprisingly hard-scifi.
But really take a look at destiny.
I know there’s an already written RPG for the game but tbh I don’t really like it. There’s two
both are quite different from each other, which one do you not like?
For specifically FitD, have you looked at scum & villainy? It’s star wars but you might find a treasure trove of stuff to use there.
Forbidden Lands certainly deserves a mention here. Forbidden Lands has a fledgeling community on lemmy, to: https://lemm.ee/c/forbiddenlands
I played lots of forbidden lands and quite some dragonbane. Undoubtedly dragonbane is much more heroic with the aforementioned death saves, hitpoints and conditions. Bear im mind that damage taken while down (from an aoe-monster attack or a stray fireball) is an automatically failed safe. In my experience you can absolutely play it gritty, dark & challenging, just by giving less opportunity to rest & be on friendly grounds. You could even homebrew-temper with the death saves, die after 2fails but recuperate with 5successes, or leave them out entirely. But gain a bit of experience with playing as intended. Characters do die, by no means less often than in fbl.
