Does it have more fiddly bits? Last time I took a look at PF2 it was optimize your numbers or get fucked.

That's... really pathetic. You got an extradimensional mansion out of a seventh level spell in 3.5. But that's really Pathfinder all over; the developers have basically no imagination.

So, this isn't exactly a question, but I was going back through some of the sourcebooks I have on my hard drive to consider doing some kind of OSSR on something (my urge to write is flaring again) and I ran across this in World's Largest City : https://i.imgur.com/xF1UDcs.png Fuck you! Of course the...

In fairness, they haven't done the 8-player MSQ-required thing since 2.0. Castrum Meridium and Praetorium were THE end of 2.0 content, and the cutscenes are hella important for the story, and people were complaining that they didn't get to watch them - so they were made unskippable. Sony isn't compl...

Wait. There was still something left alive from the Ouya?

City of Heroes is back. I've been reliving 2004 for the past few weeks and having the time of my life.

So, here's some details about VTMB2: It's going to be based on the V20 system. Okay, sure, that's great and all, it's arguably the most cleaned-up version of the rules. You're playing a Thinblood with special "Thinblood powers". Uhh... It's going to be more combat-focused than VTMB was. Wh...

So... why is Mearls still relevant?

PSO2 is action dodging base, while most MMO's are "stand with percentage to hit or be hit" based like XIV Man I really wish XIV played like Phantasy Star Online. Monster Hunter World crossover helps I also play XIV, and it has some of the clearest, most distinct dodging possible (Omega11 ...

Random thoughts on what makes a good MMO (or game), utilizing PSO2 and Star Wars The Old Republic as examples. Visual clarity. In PSO2, the enemy attacks are well animated and almost all have some sort of wind-up to watch for, and nailing down the timing of dodging (and then doing more damage) forms...

Hey, remember when I shit on Pillars of Eternity? It's no surprise that PoE2 failed as hard as it did.

I think it's worth a try. It's a BG-like that forgot what made Baldur's Gate actually good (namely, not fucking you over for making your own party AND having decent NPCs) and the voice acting is... something somewhere north of 'decent' but south of 'great'. If you've never played Kingmaker on the ta...

Sadly, this is a game that already has an extremely active modding community to unfuck the game. Save editors to change point buy of custom PCs, resolving kingdom events in a day or so, and altering the rate at which overland travel fatigues you. All pretty goddamned necessary at this point. EDIT: N...

You understand that the term 'hobo' is used specifically because it originally referred to migrant workers, right?

I guess it's more acceptable here than it was in Savage Tide as the mass-combat thing was preceded by months of downtime (with a few things you could do) where you literally could have summoned up a bunch of planar allies that could roflstomp a bunch of shitty pirates. Then again, I suppose it depen...

What the shit am I reading right now? First you probably should've linked to the one I actually finished. Second, at level 19 to 20 you should be absolutely destroying any Mass combat fights if the campaign setting is at all following the demographics charts in the DMG. also that +20 to attack and d...

I need a poll that allows multiple options. I work Wednesday-Sunday, so my days off are Monday and Tuesday. This is an awful time to have a weekend. Additionally, everyone in my new area seems super hype for D&D 5E and SR5E and both are garbage fires.

It also actually needs a larger selection of spells so that Wizard actually has flexibility.

Because apparently only people who dislike shit have to explain themselves in this thread? Nobody else is saying anything concrete.

Double lol wut. Khelgar has way more in common with Amiri than with Harrim. Harrim... I have no fucking clue how you connected him , a nihilist struggling with cultural isolation and alcoholism, to a brash thrill-seeker that wants to become a monk purely because he thinks they're all about punching...

Did i miss something ?

The fact that most items are assumed to be dikoted in SR4 due to its popularity in earlier editions? Just because it's not a book-legal option doesn't mean it can't get applied to stuff that obviously isn't dikoted. We're not playing SRM.

I got to take my broken as fuck minitrog into a game of Shadowrun 4E, and he turned out to be everything I hoped he would be. 5' nothing neotenous troll, ghouled (gaki), mystic adept, good dice pools for summoning, spellcasting, and automatics, Improved Reflexes 2, some Mystic Armor, and Sustenance....

What's with all the companion-hating? They are all great except for Lindzi. They have stat allocations that are somewhere between "This guy is useless" (The Ecclesitheurge with his sub-20 points) and "Haha, fuck you, player" (Valerie, with her 30+ points). Additionally, they're ...
