Fuck Cyberpunk's conventions. I dont care about those. Make an mix of SciFi and Magic in the near future and I am happy. Sooo you're basically not even Shadowrun's target demo. Got it. I think I am not only SR Player who likes the mix of SciFi and Magic and doesnt care about the "You are not a...

Not using the word "tengu" doesn't mean that you can't steal liberally from the stories and culture that inspired it, but it does cleanse your inevitable hamfisted take on that culture. Not shure about that, if you use Tengu and others known terms you get name recognition, which might hel...

This was super disappointing in the moment, but now that disappointment is mainly gone by, and now I just want to make The Heist and Adventure Game Made By a Trans. Will be interesting to see, if the finished (if it gets finished) game will be different than one made by an CIS male. I imagine not, ...

Yeah, isn't Path of Exile the PoE that's sort of Diablo-ish and generally online and has the big FFX sphere grid for advancement? I think Pillars of Eternity is the PoE that's sort of Baldur's Gate-ish. But I can't remember, even "There are two PoE games, which is which?" is too much for ...

I am pretty shure, you are talking about the other PoE, not Path of Exile.
If i am wrong please tell me more.

Might not be under the definition of Heartbreaker and it might be hard to find at this Point, but I had some fun with Anima: Beyond Fantasy.

Things I did not like:
clunky Resolution mechanic

Things I somewhat liked:
System mastery is very important

I liked:
Ki, Psi and Magic is very different.

Pillar of Eternity 2, got an Patch with round based combat

The 4th edition corebook w/ no supplements and a no sustaining focus houserule is straight up better than any of the bullshit you're currently contemplating. Pirate that and import fluff from whatever edition you want. The only thing you'd miss is proportional damage codes and as nice as that was i...

So, consider: in the Wheel of Time series characters may accumulate followers and armies, collect artifacts and unlock new powers, split from one adventuring party into several, each centered around a member of the original one, but practically everything important is still done by the heroes and t...

See, here's what I don't understand. Every supers game I've ever played has claimed to model exactly that. None of them encourage you to run that PARTY, but they publish stats for Hawkeye and they publish stats for the Hulk and when you play the game with either character the game is exactly as pla...

Ancient History wrote:We can't cover all the bullshit. There's too much. Iron Heart Surge is the Crusader's fuck-you to clever fighters and de-buffers.

Nitpick, Warblade not Crusader.
Unless the naming sheme is so fucked up, that Iron Heart Surge is not in the Iron Heart discipline/thingy.

I imagine if both systems are written by equaly incompetent people, I would prefer the Pathfinder aproach. So I can cherry pick the functional parts. D&D 5 has to few things to cherry pick so it gets boring fast.

Edit: That said, I do not plan on buying PF2

There is also the Wearing the Cape RPG, which is FATE based.
(And for some reason I am only finding the german version on Amazon?)

Don't know if it's more to the taste of the OP.

Going back to the first post. How would I do AD&D style multiclassing. Before taking the first Level decide if you want to take this Option or not. If you take this Option: Choose two or three classes and use the gestalt rules as written. Changes to the gestalt rules: After chossing those classe...

So, how well would this work in practice? It's simple , and relatively easy to implement. I'm curious how abusable this is. The obvious benchmark is casters. They're what make the world go round. Doing this would cost you a caster level, which means you'd be behind in your highest level of spell av...

So Democracy is not a synonym for rule of the majority. (See President Bush and Trump)
I stand corrected...


Edit:
I do agree that the US had an enourmous contribution in bringing Democracy to Europe after WW1 and 2.

Isnt the US an rebublic?

I dont care about actual mythology, but about actual gameplay.

And if your game says, Vamps cant cross running water.
You need to definy what is actual fucking running water and how much needs to be there before he/she/it cant cross it anymore (see some water on the street running into the gutter).

We had so many discussion in our Group (in D&D), about what is the definition of running water and if an bridge helps, if yes what about flying. If flying helps, why is that limitation even there? If copying the Bram Stoker "original", flying doesn't help and bridges only allow your s...

Similarly, Vampires can't cross running water in the stories where that applies because the Vampires in those stories are metaphorically contagion . If you aren't using your Vampires as a plague metaphor, there's no reason for them to care about running water. You're probably right a good portion o...

https://dndsports.tv It's literally D&D 5e, styled as a MOBA. Except without deep underlying systems, vast differences between characters and their abilities, and instead being dependent on luck and DM bullshit more than skill. Why? Seriously, why? Is 5e flopping that damn hard? Is Hasbro just ...
