Hate is a strong word...but for someone whose motivations and actions Keet would intrinsically dislike, Nowan would probably be at the top of the list, preserving people's faces at the cost of silencing their voices. Just because his voice is extra special doesn't mean he can't hear the notes others contribute to the symphony of life. Snuffing that for the sake of, not even a proper display, just one's own personal memory, is repugnant to him. Other characters of dubious morality engender within him, at most, pity, though not usually enough to intervene in physical force being used against them.

Incidentally, looking over some character entries in the CYOA itself, I have some observations about some powers the general may have been wrong about. Or maybe it was just me.

Based on Kotaro Yorubi's entry in the Healer section, Chants can be selective in who they affect. Meanwhile, Amarant and Ganymede's sections indicate that Truth of Life is all that's necessary to "convert" elemental magic into healing, especially when paying close attention to the text of Truth of Life itself. I get the impression that all the characters, with the exception of Alis, have powers that we could also have, but I'm still not sure how Anfisa in the Mage section is able to do what she does - some twist on Wordless Understanding maybe?

The other candidates don't have access to the same powers as us, and vice versa. We clearly have a different pool to choose from, a very varied pool that allows us to fit any of the listed roles and more, but still a different one. They have some exclusive powers that we can have a bootleg version of or mimic in other ways.
Doesn't really matter much for our characters, since we all have the same pool, but it may be useful to know for NPCs and stuff.

If the players wants to turn his character into an NPC until a future campaign set 20 years in the future where it will cast that spell in the role of "temple, sage, alchemist, etc" he is perfecetly allowed to do that and only a shitty GM would stop it.

All planes suffused with negative energy, like the various hells, the "Shadowfell" (bleh) and the Abyss are influenced by the ultimate source of negative energy, which is the negative energy plane.

In the beginning, there was only law and chaos, the interactions between law and chaos permutated Good and Evil at right-angles to themselves.

Planes composed entirely of abstract elements are intrinsically hostile to organic life forms, which is why they are both underexplored, and underresearched; the hells and elemental planes are composed of the same impure essences that the material realm is, but in differing proportions.

My hypotheses are more or less independant from the current or former "arrangements" of the cosmos, be it great wheel or whatever, because they are not commenting on the structure, but the interactions between disparate poles.

You cannot separate good from positive energy, life affirming forces, and sustenance for mortal beings, just as you cannot separate negative energy from it's antonym.

Say you live in an undead world, formed by negative energy, so your people and animals are all undead, and your crops are undead, and your whole world works on a sort of inverted version of the same principles.
Skeletons are your neighbors.
They hate and fear fleshy things, because they have the same reaction to seeing a fleshy being walking around, as a fleshy being would a skeleton.
It is an intrusion into their world, it is intrinsically antithetical.

The Lower Planes are not suffused with Negative Energy, they are suffused with Evil energy, and the Shadowfell is mushing the Negative Energy Plane and Plane of Shadow together. You demonstrably do not know shit about what you're talking about, consult pre-4e cosmology sourcebooks.

I think some people really want the RDA to be the "bad yet cool" humans like the Imperium (they do have cool weapons and tech, after all), but they really are just a greedy corporation raping what is presumably the one other life-abundant planet for all it's worth. There's no pseudo-nobility or loose justification, only Big Corpo doing what it does best: exploiting and destroying.

If Avatar were a normal sci-fi setting then Eywa would be an evil hive mind stripping the na'vi of their individuality but it's explicitly a story where humans are the invaders and the blue people are just defending their homes. If Eywa actually was controlling the Na'vi directly they wouldn't be able to use guns or other technology at all.

Whenever people talk about Eywa being evil I think of pic related which I feel like Cameron took some notes from as crazy as it sounds.

>>98321590
>Can't see why people insist on defending them myself.
I've never much liked the RDA, but I suspect the main reason people defend them is because of how bland the Navi are, they're not a stand in for actual natives, they're caricatures, like the real native Americans didn't live perfectly in tune with nature, they did unsound things and made mistakes, and they constantly traded with the Europeans for all their shit, while the Navi (until crazy lady) live in a magical utopia that has never existed on earth.

When they started to do similar cards they at least made them somewhat equal power wise (either 4 manas or sorcery).

>Is this a general?
No, just a place to discuss OSR and related content.
>Isn't there an OSR thread already?
No, the current regulars of /osrg/ have made it clear they only want to see a narrow subset of OSR games in the thread.
This means the name /osrg/ is somewhat misleading, but that's their problem.

I'm trying to get back into RPGs after a loooooong time. I have a group and all but I'm trouble finding a system for me:
- Love my dudes but they are not going to be reading a manual, so the less tables and fiddling around, the better.
- At the same time, I would like it to be somewhat comprehensive and well supported (for my sake)
- Setting independent, want to write use my own setting
- Low magic. Don't really care for gritty hardcore brutal gameplay. I just want low access to magic.

Closest I've found so far is Burning Wheel? Mythras seemed (at first glance) way too complex. Any other I might be missing?
>>
>>98322302
If you don't like complex rules, you'd hate Burning Wheel. It's also very much a story game.

What do you want your campaign to actually be about anon? What sort of stuff are you interested in your players getting up to? If your interest doesn't lie in dungeon crawling, this might not be the best thread for you.

The Outriders have recovered from their last hunt for research artifacts and are ready for another assignment. Meanwhile the recently-cured Fogland refugees have been developing their crafting, engineering, and farming skills, while their raptors fed upon the bodies of all The Tribes' many would-be-conquerors.

What comes first for The Three Tribes of Raptor Fields?

>1) Our research is nearly complete.
Send The Outriders out again to track down the last few ancient science books we need to understand all the technology currently available to us.

>2) The refugees are ready for a new home.
A contingent of fogmen have been cured of their madness, and their pet raptors have since consumed the enemies of The Tribes before our gates while our riders were abroad. They are ready to reclaim their home and establish safe trade to the city of Mongrel.

>3) Return to our roots.
The nearby town of hilltop was hastily abandoned during the famine, and some valuable resources may yet be recovered by retracing our steps.
