2) If American history proves anything white/male/Christian guilt is needed to get any justice done. So embrace that white guilt and stop trying to weasel out of your cognitive dissonance you fucking pussy. I suppose "male guilt" would entail not using "pussy" as an insult. Have...

I'm somewhat opposed to naming individual abilities, since feats being designed of late have been quite wordy already. Battlecaster: for simplicity, I suggest taking out one of the tags - in part because, after all, base feats still exist, and characters interested in this feat are almost surely tak...

I agree.

The RoW AoO limit?

The European Dark Ages were like 800 years long, and mostly due to the Catholic establishment. So I'm not convinced that's actually more negative than they deserve. 1969 - 800 = 1169, after all, so it actually seems like quite the conservative estimate. The problem's that it assumes there was next ...

Oh, and as a followup to my earlier statement, it's possible that Native territories are still inhabited by the aforementioned invincible white pederasts . Because, you know, we've had so much progress in the past 100 or so years. Sigh. In the comments to that, I think someone managed the spectacul...

Heh, while I thought Blind Guardian was better known in the U.S.A., I'm definitely surprised to see Laibach mentioned in any country other than Slovenia and Germany. As for me, aside from stuff already mentioned: Black (not what I listen to the most, but seems to be what you mentioned less): Burzum,...

Since this is so clearly a retro-er, stupider Warp Cult, I wonder how adaptable the mechanics are. The standard combat's the PCs against 10-20 Nazis, and the PCs clearly are the red shirts - I suggest lethality 20% on average, so that most battles indeed show why those shirts are red after all.

Somewhere around the umpteenth insistance that the mechanics have to reward the style of play desired. Gee, and I was thinking that Agincourt really did involve the French doing something ineffective. Wait, were they NPCs? That would explain it. NPCs can be expected to be stupid. PCs are -always- g...

It still doesn't look like making rules for it'd be impossible. And don't you see? "Medieval" == "not weeaboo"!

Suuure.

That the mechanics don't support the storyline is no big surprise to me. It's a rather poor d20 port, so the fact that things work like they do in D&D rather than how they work in the background fiction is disappointing but not unusual. It's specifically worse with Dragonmech than, say, Craperr...

Actually, AFAIK the biggest problem with Dragonmech's that it claims to not be Homeric and is - barbarians specifically take "city-killer" hits to the face and laugh. So that's a fluff problem to solve - all the crap about technology displacing the old ways doesn't make a fvcking lick of s...

It does create the unfortunate message that if you want to have fantastic things in your setting then a lot of people have to suffer horribly. You mean like cars, jewels, and various peoples of color? Not only that, the people not in on it generally can't organize to fight the evil magic forces--th...

Wikipedia says that's not the original title.

I'm going to write a short essay about how emotions are just chemicals in your brain trying to boss the thinking part of you around and that they should be carefully analyzed to determine whether they are worth indulging when you do have them. The "thinking part" is also just chemicals. A...

But when you're talking about multiple events happening in series, the action tends to be multiplication. Since probability is set in terms of fractions , when you multiply things together they become more likely. Getting a head is something that happens 1/2 the time. Getting a head on both flips i...

What good did it do to add an IGNORE function if nobody is going to use it? Little, indeed. You might recall me saying that that rule was indeed the solution, more than an Ignore function. :( And still, having both allows people to disagree on who's undesirable with less conflict: if it's your thre...

Pretty much. And I don't really think D&D Chess is super viable because ideally the DM isn't playing the monsters to win, he's playing them in character to provide challenge and enjoyment. Chess sort of loses its charm when only one player is trying to win. If you limit how many resources you d...

I follow ya, but those races are far better than normal. So I guess you should be using conversion method 3 (which made the monsters hand out HD instead of having classes) or make actual monster classes (I tried it, BTW, though I'm fairly sure we should be talking about medium BAB).

It took everything in my being and a hangover to resist telling her "This is the worst pile of crap I've ever written. It has no depth of character, no plot, no worthwhile language and is generally a waste of the time I spent reading it. It is by far the worst thing anyone in the class has wri...

Of course, not knowing Anonymous makes sense, but who's the latter?

Sexual reproduction creates a need for natural death. This is at odds with most creatures' desire not to die.

Lago: unfortunate? That's precisely what I think is unlikely. I don't think we can convert brains until we understand them fully, and understand machine consciousness fully, so it seems to me that human scale AI is going to happen well before brain conversion. Once that happens, Moore's law and AI-d...
