>Like, is the supernatural part of blood bond less effective if you truly love somebody the hard way?
Vitae and its bonding aspects are the specialty of one of my siblings, but not mine, so I don't know it super-well, much as it chafes against my super-smug persona to admit I don't know something. That said, I'm fairly confident that true love don't matter for shit, babes, blood bond's the blood bond.

If you love somebody like a mother, the blood bond might focus on that, and if you want to fuck them, it'll probably be romantic and sexual instead, and there's a lot other angles, even hate-fucking and rivalry as blood-bond fuel. Buuuut at the end of the day, blood bonds are slavery! Next to chains of iron, whatever emotions somebody feels really doesn't matter for shit.

Smug and Emergency are the only practical choices for "why you've caught their eye." Smug eliminates risk. Emergency provides more than a Gold in value, making it superior to the remaining options which situationally provide a Gold or lesser in value.

If you want a pure mage build, pick Smug. It is highly unlikely you can greatly stack the magic stat without it.

If you want a martial/mage hybrid build or are ok with both a pure mage and a hybrid build, pick Emergency. It is highly likely that rolls spread your stats, so expect a hybrid build when rolling. You can use coins and patron benefits to buy physical stats, so any initially pure mage build can easily be changed to hybrid.

Oh I would never do this for a normal game. It's a one shot, the ten corruption a and insanity is irrelevant when the limit is 100, it's just supposed to tick up slightly and maybe put the players on edge. Same with WP, they're pre made characters and the players didn't invest any amount of XP.

NTA but this is honestly how I feel about DnD (5e exclusively): it's too complex to be a simple game and too simple to be a complex game. With some of the rules it feels like they want to be a proper wargame, and with other things they really lean into the "storytelling first" philosophy.

Making a goofy chess game, basically you're just doing puzzles for points with a streak multiplier like on a regular site, but for every three you get right in a row it lets you pick a single use card that can change the rules for one puzzle. If you use one it'll let you cook and try to beat the puzzle "under par" for multiplicative bonuses. I wanted to make chess Balatro but I only vaguely know what Balatro is. Kinda hard making the cards balanced and fun, but I did have a cool tactic with a "knights get pawn attacks" one, and my own minimum viable engine used the "Whoops! All knights!" one against me, so I think this could be neat with some more features.

How do you feel about no moon at all? When I've searched online for what other people think of the idea, it was often met with genuine confusion as to why anyone would do that. Some thought it was fine. I was really surprised by a lot of people's gut reaction being quite negative.

As for why, I just want the nights in my games to be really fucking dark. That, and it fits with the MO of a lot of the rest of the world, including its ecology.

Style is easier to crank out than substance so once a thing gets popular enough the bandwagonsers and various grifts that want to make money easily swarm to it until its so wrung out and dry no one can derive any satisfaction from it anymore. Its fashion. This cycle isn't as complete as it used to be, basically via consumable immediacy and products-as-culture if a brand or style reaches enough critical mass there will always be enough dipshits who like it to continue buying. Grimdark is on its way out, there's probably going to be a resurgence of hopepunk or some other similarly retarded thing.

Everyone's trying to do grimdark because it's popular. The market exists and wants it, so everyone's jostling for first place. You can make a game with any other look but it's untested grounds.

What the others said already
- Playtests with friends/regulars means you achieve echo chamber effect. The most infamous example is DnD and its retarded armour rules of the earliest editions - it made sense to the ten guys playing together and nobody fucking else, but they tested it between themselves, so it sticked.
- Use point-blank, short, medium and long range penalties (or lack of those), instead of every x feet; if you need to differente guns in this, use the standard
* handguns gain advantage in point and short, but penalty at long
* shotguns and other pellet weapons are equally effective at all ranges, but the effective range is on par with pistols (good fucking luck scoring a kill with a buckshot at 200 yards, but you will hit the deer)
* rifles and other long guns get penalty at point blank range
* scopes add a bonus to mid- and long range and only those
* any weapon modifications could change this penalty/bonus
* aiming action adds a bonus to your shot, regardless of range and weapon used
* aiming action extends effective range of the gun, multiplying the distance ranges, too
* ammo type might affect both ranges and penalties
And since this is pre-written, you don't have to adjust it, because it's just a fixed modifer for that specific gun for the whole fight
All of which gives you far more room to work with, rather than accounting every single X feet as the sole tracker and having to re-calculate penalty every single fucking attack - a computer can do that on a fly, but it slows the shit out of any game of pretend
- The whole "big penalty in point-blank because you have a scope" is purely a vidya balancing. At such range you BOTH have the closeness of the target and the sights still on the gun; the actual issue is having a long rifle at something that's at your face. so if it's not a carbine, you might lack the sheer space to lift the gun

Ice lenses for laser arrays. Pressure cutters. Steam explosions. Ice bombs. Δp. Ice floor. Ice mirror maze. Sinkholes/quicksand. Aquatic creature command. Mirages to create position offsets for attack/defense. Flooding the area to slow down attackers. Coating the area in a thin layer of water to track movement. Coating the area in a thin layer of water so you can vibrate the surface at different positions to create audio illusions. Skip bombing if we're combining it with projectiles. Multi-arms if we're combining it with weapons. Saturating the air around someone so they can't cool off with evaporative cooling and slowly cook to death for invisible assassinations. Being able to turn any vessel into an assassin's teapot with fluid manipulation. Super hard rain/hail. Acid rain. Blinding fog. Ultrafast rusting. Water jetpack for flight.

Yet again, the question was "what is that?" and the reply why "have you ever engaged with the hobby" because screens are not new and not unheard of. We're not talking about who uses them or how not every game has one. Just the fact that they are a common enough thing to know of if you're actually in the hobby.
