If Jesus wasn't Jewish, then he'd be Hercules's half-brother. There's nothing wrong with being the son of Jupiter/Zeus, but it's not exactly special considering how much infidelity that guy engaged in. I could probably create a heretical synthesis of Christianity and Greco-Roman paganism in which Je...

More news continues. https://i.imgur.com/LPx5ODw.png My fucking god man! Don't use a company account to post personal messages, ever. At no point should a post from a company account contain the word "I." Use your own fucking account to defend yourself. Use your company account for compan...

Are they not compatible with the Demons in V:tM? Just ask, "are both games made by White Wolf?" If the answer is yes, then no, they are in no way compatible. Side note: after going on a White Wolf binge (holy crap I didn't realize how prominent wolf rape was in Werewolf, I thought that wa...

The easiest way to do it is to just use genre conceits that already exist. A machine gun is a decent weapon, one that certainly gives a normal person a better chance, but it doesn't outclass the guy who can throw his seemingly infinite supply of silver daggers with greater force at a faster pace. Lo...

Polymorph Any Object your teacher into your completed homework. Then Polymorph yourself into your teacher. Polymorph yourself into your teacher, give yourself an A.

Now if you want to, you can incrementalize anything at all. That fire immunity could be put on a treadmill of fire resistance where sufficiently higher level fire would blast through it. But of course that's stupid , and also 'You're still fire immune, but that immunity now extends to the monsters ...

Personally, I've become quite fond of classes as equipment. If you become a level-appropriate wizard by putting on your wizard hat, then party composition can be tailored to current needs. And you can cater to the player who wants to cast spells sometimes and use a sword sometimes without having to ...

In order to answer the question, you need to nail things down a bit. Castlevania is historical low fantasy - it takes place in, like, Romania, right? Vaguely in the past? Specifically in the past. And sometimes in the future. Every Castlevania game is given a specific date, some down to the day, mo...

Does tihs achieve it's goals in a faster way than RIFTS? If its goal is having Jack O'Neill high five a Wookie, then yes, I think it does. The setting can be pretty much whatever you make up on the fly, it's got everything, which is both an advantage and disadvantage. Slap a map down (as I did in t...

Free spirits really shouldn't be playable at all in RAW. And I say this as someone who generally supports letting people play whatever they want. But it's such a pain in the ass that it's easier just to say "no, but you can houserule it at your table." It's not just the powerset. It's wher...

This is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

But... what does the setting look like?

Shocker falls flat everywhere. He is just not an interesting villain. The fucking RHINO is more interesting! Also, the vulture had ONE GOOD STORY in the comics and that was it <.< You're confusing Shocker with Electro. Electro is the villain who becomes living electricity. Shocker is the villain wi...

Magic is amazing. It's pure destruction that lags behind, and even then it has stunlock.

Just as a point of discussion, wouldn't alignment make more sense in a world where there are literal gods which you know are not just figments of your imagination (due to their clerics having actual magic powers through their worship), which require you to behave in a certain way to get into their ...

I assumed that the Clone Wars were more important people being covertly replaced by clones, and starting wars.

*I once started writing a CYOA called Transdimensional Astronaut Werewolf King, where you picked two of those traits to define your character at the beginning and acquired the others through play. Any two of those define a perfectly distinct concept. That's litterally James Jameson, from Marvel. He...

Writers also struggle with 'real gods' and 'the problem of evil'. Dick-waving aside, the good gods don't jump in to solve problems. Since there would be no adventures for PCs if gods did everything, good gods can't be directly jumping in... A best case scenario is that the gods COULD have done some...

If I had to justify it, I'd say that the speed of hyperdrive combined with the firepower of star destroyers makes large armies mostly pointless. With the ability for an attacker to strike anywhere at any time with little warning, defending is a fool's errand and you're better off using light and fas...

Is that story about the French teenager killing a priest who used to molest him legit? A quick search only seems to bring up Daily Mail or further right sources. Well, Catholic newspapers are running with it and criticizing the church for its handling of the case, so I'd assume that it's legit. htt...

Also, a lot of the art is just real people mildly photoshopped: https://i.imgur.com/M0BTocs.png There's also one piece of art in there where nobody knows if CGL even paid royalties \ Middle Age Couple Cosplaying, Very Bored Mage, and Mom Taking Kids to the Shooting Range. Giving unpaid Rando Calris...

Is there a good reason to get randoms on the net to check your work like that? Cause while getting input from fans is useful, if you're going to announce that your quality control was done by anonymous online types, a few implications about the quality and professionalism of your product come immed...

How do the Star Wars Sequals shit on the previous trillogies. Let me count the ways. 1) Makes the Rebellion's victory worse tham completely pointless. The Empire just builds a bigger Death Star and destroys the New Republic. Somehow, leaving the Sith in charge would have had a smaller body count. 2)...

I see some problems with this comic. 1) The Voluntaryists wear uniforms that declare their affiliation. The Statists dress in unique outfits. Should be the other way around. 2) Related to the first, the Voluntaryists are bland and generic while that Statist look cool. I mean, there's a demon and a g...

Destroyers are a type of ship that is able to carry the heavy armaments of the period. A Star Destroyer is a space ship capable of doing the same. This is incorrect. In navy parlance, destroyer is shorthand for torpedo boat destroyer . They came into use with the advent of torpedoes because a swarm...

OT: You defeat the Dark Side by refusing to give in to your anger and rejecting violence. PT: You defeat the Dark Side by accepting that you aren't omnipotent, accepting that there are some things that you can't change, and refusing to vainly try to force the universe to comply with your will throug...
