Fascinating. So if, for example, I show you the ( Google + date stamped) conversation where I first saw Doyle's letter (Doyle goes something like "I sent the mods this" I go something like "Oh that's cool, I didn't know" and it was months ago) and you were in a live Google + vid...

Also it's a US thing that that restricts silencers that much, I understand that in France, the UK and most other places they are sold directly over the counter without any significant regulation and are required to be used for some purposes. It's a prohibition thing, like the bulk of US firearms/mu...

While I'm sure roleplaying Vic Wertz and Lisa Stevens is amusing, this is all speculation based on absolutely zero knowledge of Paizo's sales numbers or internal workings. There's no possible way to know if anyone is right.

Re: That Special PC Glow for rules-heavy systems.

it also breaks our sense of immersiveness and has a high chance of wrecking the game if the mechanics for PCs and other sundry protagonist characters are completely non-intersecting with that of NPCs. This is not to derail, since you're obviously looking for solutions that reconcile these basic pre...

They mainly wank over the NPC writing, like Glory. Her deep dark secret is the biggest goddamned cliche in the game, and this is a game that ripped off Wintermute and Alexstrasza without even filing the fucking numbers off. Also, she seems to be planning some sort of interesting adventure to resolv...

It reminds me of Shadowrun Returns where they claimed that street sams would be able to see ambush points and tactical features, while mages could sense ley lines that they could occupy for magical advantage and hackers could play the decking game. The last two made it in, the first didn't. I guess...

Because they exist in the real world, and simulating the reasons they exist in the real world is hard.

You know, around here we called them Pump Knights due to their similarity to the White and Black Knights, and I was wondering if the Pump Clerics thing was just a regional difference. There were identical Knight creatures in Ice Age, and they got a lot more play in IA's metagame than FE's. Knight o...
