Has anyone actually played this shit? All I ever see is people saying that it looks good, but nobody ever says whether or not it actually is good. Have any of you ever you ever run a campaign with it?
>>96587745Flame? Flare? something along those lines
>>96596387I mentioned in >>96566348 that I am playing in a campaign. I've only been in another short intro campaign before that, so I don't really have a lot of experience, especially since both games have had relatively short sessions with at most one combat encounter per session.
>>96592925Frankly the core system kinda sucks, it's inelegant on a tabletop and a VTT, A die pool system using "dice" made of modified 2d2s and 7swith a peripheral skill system that's just 1d10 1-5 Fail, 6-8 Complicated success, 9-10 successWith the die system, the averages are 1s, 3s, 5s, and 7sWithout messing up the math too much, one could just swap to pools of 1d2, 1d6, 1d10, and 7 with the understanding that your results will be skewed 0.5 above averageThe opposed rolls for attacks are also not ideal, could just average out the defense dice and use it as a base TN for the attack, saves rolling, adding, and comparing the defensive die pool, which saves a lot of combat timeAlso for a system whose themes are ostensibly about motherhood, the game struggles to have mechanics to support it,One picks up gravs until they find the ones that attune well with their abilities, but there's no real reason to birth gravs unless you're carrying ones you don't want, seeing as they just disappear after, and you'll then just want back the gravs that worked best with your buildIn spite of knowing CrossCrescent and Verdazin, I've really struggled to find significant merit in this work from a mechanical and game design perspectiveThe good reviews may be from folks who find the themes resonate with them and their group to the extent that the mechanical inelegance does not interfere with their enjoyment, or ability to work outside the rules to make the system express the stories they are interested in being a part of
>>96603493>The good reviews may be from folks who find the themes resonate with them and their group to the extent that the mechanical inelegance does not interfere with their enjoymentIt's also very functional by the standard of random homebrew fetish RPGs. Like, if the main mechanical issue is that the dice system does its job but is kind of awkward that's miles better than a lot of the competitors.I do agree that it would be better if the dice were just replaced with 1d2/1d6/1d10. I keep forgetting what the correct roll command was for each die type, and when you start having multiple dice in an attack it starts getting annoying when instead of just rolling 4d2 it's something like 8d2-8. Though on the plus side, it does make having attacks that include multiple dice types easy, since you can simply substract the negative modifiers from the positive ones before rolling and make the roll with one dice type rather than having to roll d2s and d10s in the same attack.Gravs also just kind of feel they're just...there, unless the GM specifically implements in the campaign. Even the attunement part doesn't matter that much (IIRC it used to matter a lot more in the earlier edition because you had to have correct attunement to use specific abilities). They're mostly a fluff reason why being pregnant gives you magic powers.

>With respect, Master GM, perhaps this is a player that *you* don't fully understand, either.>A long time ago, I was in a LGS. My friends and I had designed a campaign for D&D Fifth Edition. We were trying to create a story that interested the party and kept them engaged. But one player kept making absurd decisions and derailing the campaign.>So, we went looking for ideas to keep him engaged. But in six months, we never found any plot hooks that interested him. >One day, I saw a set of notes with dozens of character names crossed out. The player had been murder-hoboing every NPC.”So why even play the game?”>Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like loot. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men...just want to watch the GM seethe.

I've really been enjoying reading through Runequest, so I don't understand why it seems so underrated in modern gaming.There doesn't really seem to be much interest in the current edition compared to early ones.I was hoping that there could be more excitement over its potential.Especially with the changes coming.
Where can I read this?
>>96602057 (Me)Also I just ran the numbers on AnyDice and it turns out that 4d6k3 ends up leading to an median score total of exactly 91 anyway even though that's not how they got to that number in classic fantasy. Of course there's still a difference between rolling that high and taking 13 in every stat but you know. It's really not that outside the realm of possibility. Using normal creation 5% of characters will be that strong which seems like a good ratio for moving from soldiers to heroes. https://anydice.com/program/3f708>>96602102There's a rebrandly trove man did you even look
>>96602136No.I woke up in a hospital 3 months ago. Can't remember things. No idea where to go for online things anymore.

I want to get into pathfinder 2eR, and I really like playing wizards, but Vancian casting perplexes me to no end. Is there some sort of strategy guide? Like... How many fireballs am I supposed to prepare? Combat can come at literally any moment - how am I supposed to be prepared for the hundreds of spontaneous 'roll initiative''s?Am I just supposed to load the fuck up on panic spells and fireballs and use spell substitution to cast everything as a pseudo-ritual when needed? How the hell am I supposed to account for this shit without having 9 mega lethals in the chamber just so I'm not the most useless babyboy in the world during any surprise combat? How do I go back in time and kill Jack Vance to stop Gary Gygax from reading Dying Earth and copying the stupidest magic system available?
The Judge Holden...
>>96605539you do research into the place you're going for the next dungeon crawl and you make educated guesses on what spells would be handy and what spells you can get by with having as scrolls. Your INT is massive, use it fucklechuck. This is why wizards have a reputation of being annoying nerds; not because they're smart or nothing, it's because they grind the adventure to a halt until they know exactly what they're up against.The alternative is a generic always-useful list of spells.
>>96605539Seems like thinking is a little hard for you, maybe this isn't the hobby for you, have you tried playing modern videogames instead? That seems more your speed
>>96605539>Am I just supposed to load the fuck up on panic spells and fireballs and use spell substitution to cast everything as a pseudo-ritual when needed? Yes>How the hell am I supposed to account for this shit without having 9 mega lethals in the chamber just so I'm not the most useless babyboy in the world during any surprise combat? Thinking ahead.Order of the Words Words Words actually explains it decently in its usual rambling fashion.>"A wizard's strength is his ability to prepare different spells each day, but it is also our weakness. It is difficult, even for us, to defend against every possible form of attack simultaneously. Those we cannot block outright, we must evade. Those we cannot evade, we must eliminate pre-emptively."That's the point of having the magic system set up as it is in the first place. Incredible cosmic might, but you still can't just cast "I Win" and call it a day. You have to pre-plan and adapt to whatever is thrown your way. And if you guess wrong, then that's your lesson to better plan next time. That's why D&D created the Sorcerer as a class later, for the people who are willing to give up a chunk of that power for a degree of spontaneity and freedom of choice when it comes to casting what they need at a given point.That said, if you hate vancian magic that much, try a different system other than D&D. There's a shitton of games out there. Neither D&D nor Vancian casting is the end-all be-all to tabletop games.

>>96606866Bondi "Warriors" is theme accurate so you can see the LLM is digging into its Norse warfare datas. As opposed to "Archer/Skirmishers" where the LLM simply dug into its how to wargame database and couldn't be bothered with the dress up anymore.>>96607006Well, what is Quality trying to abstract in your games? My understanding is that Pillage lets you kit out your men one by one so there's not much to abstract. Assuming combat readiness is already factored in the troop type and willingness to fight into the pillage roll novelty-thing, of course.Sorry if I talk like a fag, it's one of those days for me.
>>96602685I'm a big fan of Ravenfeast, but like >>96603270 says, it's a little simple. I personally have written an A4 sheet of rules tweaks and additions to give it a bit more depth, and it gives it just enough additional meat to allow for some more interesting games. It's all stuff like rules for burning houses, securing plunder, that sort of thing, as well as making movement pseudo-random to enable some more command and control stuff.>>96606433They're so used to the miserable shit weather of the Br'i'sh Isles that they are unfazed by simple fog.

>>96606399I will never understand how digica players think about consistency and bricking. It's irrational in a way I didn't think was possible.

>>96604618It makes sense from a balance standpoint to make players invest into their humanity to tank dehumanizing equipment. You can't punish them with low humanity if they're already at low humanity.I do agree that having low humanity should inoculate you against some humanity loss-- if you already care very little about other people, splatting them with exploding shells shouldn't bother you much more than putting out rat poison.On the other hand for some characters having the slide go a long way down makes a lot of sense. My character in my current game is a bit of a cinnamon roll behind it all, but between cutting her teeth on the old ultra violence and all the cyberware we're pretty close to disassociative murder town by now.You have to remember that being a true cyberpsycho makes you unpredictable, impossible to cooperate with and broadly unsuitable as a protagonist of any kind. Murderhobos exist in NC but you're probably getting hired to shoot them.
>>96604618>Make Humanity equivalent to CoC Sanity, decoupled from Empathy and becomes its own stat>When you install new cyberware GM rolls under Humanity>On success nothing happens>On failure the cyberware has a quirk that gives GM a reason to fuck with you later>Sometimes roll Humanity as a check to see if the PCs are too autistic to resolve a situation with interpersonal skills>Players clap whenever they get Humanity restored and make sad noises when they lose itNever going back.
>>96605338>player starts with 10 humanity>they install every single cyberware in every splatbook>just fine
>>96604618I'd mentioned to someone a negative humanity mechanic for those wanting to indulge in more chrome without having to deal with the humanity tax. I think they said they would cook it up, but I haven't seen anything for a few threads. The idea being you are always in negative humanity and going into the positive is what makes you "lose control". i.e., being an unhinged cyberspscyho is your natural state. Being "normal" is what would make you breakdown.
>>96605912Even if they for some reason had enough money to do that, yeah, I guess. If someone wants to play with a lot of cyberware, why shouldn't they be allowed to? I don't penalise anyone for wanting a tricked out tacticool gun, or flashy car, or comfy base.
