Re: The definitive notion of Magical Tea Party
For this crowd, coining MTP was originally a reaction against bad game development practice, such as Paizo's faux play test of Pathfinder - where Paizo was more interested in tweaking the indefinable game experience rather than crowdsourcing corrections for badly written rules and poor math. It pre...

A) The Australian ABC is pretty decent. A Uni, Monash I think, did a study and found it was slightly right leaning. Of course people on both sides complain that it is blatantly partisan whenever it says something they don't like so its not like there is any agreement. B) I don't care for the news me...

The problem with Kaelik's spell isn't that its broken. Its a concocted example to show the massive flaw in the epic spell system. It only produces two types of spells. Type 1: Legitimately cool spells with a DC of way too high. Type 2: Kaelik's spell, its more boring than the time I bored into a log...

I'm still right to say that NPCs should have some mechanics that back up whatever their personality is. Then the PCs can try to diplomance them from there. Personality is equivalent to terrain in combat, it provides some modifiers and rules. Exactly which ones are there in any encounter is DM fiat a...

The point is, all this is done so that by the time the shit hits the fan, everybody knows their roles and what to do in particular circumstances without having to think about it too much (which increases combat effectiveness). However, steps taken towards this direction seems to detract from this t...

It's also used by GW as one as their vampire bloodlines. It's not trademarked, though and I see no issues in using it. I checked for that, it wasn't on the first page of google. Syndicate sounds kinda modern, probably because the most common use I hear is 'lotto syndicate'. What wold the first two ...

No, that would be an example of a very slow and shitty WoF. Since the optimal solution in almost all cases would be to discard everything you didn't use anyway - after all it was something other than the maneuver you actually used, making it statistically likely to be worse than a random card out o...

Searching? Cycling? Sinking (reference to Kitchen Sinks)? Key Fumbling? Something like that. The idea is that you aren't really making decisions, you're just trying shit either with a sorting algorithm or totally at random until you either win or lose. It's the thing that happens when you're facing...
