Can we get a new board skin option that is less...Clunky and space wasting?

So FT and I were talking about my latest project and naturally we got into a discussion about the How s and Why s and What-Were-They-Thinking s of World of Darkness. So, what I'm looking for is insight in taking the (Old) World of Darkness setting and covering it over the (New) World of Darkness eng...

And other such amusing things.

I've been playing on a new D&D4e MU* and looking at some neat builds. Here's my first: Half-Orc Rogue 1/Barbarian STR+4, CON+1, DEX+4, INT+0, WIS-1, CHA+0 Init+4, AC 16, FORT 14, REF 16, WILL 10, HP 25, Blood 12, Speed 6 (8 Charge) Skills: Acrobatics +9, Athletics +9, Dungeoneering -1 Endurance ...

I was looking more for a link.

What if I like getting hit?

BTW, this is what people are talking about in case anyone wants the specs: Scenario: 1 Werewolf, Garou Form Relevant Stats: [*] Stamina: 3 (5 with Garou) [*] Resolve: 3 [*] Composure: 3 [*] Willpower 6 [*] Size: 5 (6 With Garou) [*] Health: 8 (11 With Garou) [*] Armor: 0 9 Children, Human Mortal Rel...

Melee Attack - Defense - Armor

Ranged Attack - Armor (- Defense, with Celerity)

You better share that shit. Or what, you'll come beat me up? :P First part, because it's 4 fucking AM now. This is the Failed Design Series, where Frank Trollman shares his thoughts on role-playing games and their failures in design. As part of this series on failed design we are going to talk abou...

Thinking about re-writing this to be a little more clear and include the discussions after the OP and then sharing. Nifty piece.

1. 4.3.3 Establish Initiative The order of characters’ actions is determined at the beginning of the conflict, with characters acting from highest to lowest Alertness skill (for physical conflicts) or Empathy (for social conflicts). This is referred to as the order of initiative (i.e., “who takes th...

On MUSHes they call it "Soulplaying".

Yes. They do.

I recently got told "Oh, you play WOD, well we don't have stats we have a deeper connection to our characters."

A deeper connection.

Can root create a file which even root cannot modify?

Yes.

I've done some thinking about the topic and decided that if I were going to have Gods in my game they would be very basic. Kinda like Metropolis' God. FEED FEED FEED. Or maybe the Cthulhu type gods, where they really just don't give a fuck about you. Even the "good guys". Religion in a gam...

Alright, I've managed to hammer out what I would change (This is only the outline).

Thoughts are very welcome.

Band of heroes yes. I don't really want to emulate Wargames like D&D so much as simply refocus Fate.

FATE is a lot about simplification, generalization, and making tropes the rule. For instance in Story of the Century you can play a Private Investigator of the 1940's to the nines. I want what SotC does to the Pulp Action in my Fantasy! Looking over the PDF there aren't many things you'd have to cha...

That doesn't make sense.

Because real life has complications we should add this to our pretendy fun time? What?

"he point is that in Ebberron Gods cannot grant spells"

So the clerics don't need gods? They are immaterial to the Cleric ability?

Then why have gods?

"Does it have rules for things like mad scientist inventions?" Second tab &#10026; Weird Science [Science] <quote> Requires Scientific Invention. You may create and upgrade gadgets to use any improvements that are marked as requiring Weird Science. This lets you design and create items...

"There's no "I don't care" option"

This would be the option: Don't vote.

I'm no fool, I can totally see that as being something that happened.

Yeah, and it blew for a lot of reasons. One being that Forgotten Realms was a lot more like As the World Turns for gods.

"I like gods because they're another level of extraplanar beings who want to fight each other which can lead to adventures and intrigues for the main characters."

Maybe I'm pessimistic but I see that as adding another level of complication.

For me it just interferes with the setting, also it's way to fucking common. Like, I can name one source that didn't have gods in that category. The Hobbit. But then (a) god had to get all into it and be like, I SEEING YOU BIATCH. (Sauron). It just ticks me off, maybe because I like down to earth ad...
