Elden Ring is Hermetic/Alchemical much more than it's Gnostic, although there are traces of that in there as well.
Elder Scrolls is absolutely Gnostic with some Buddism mixed in, the hell you're talking about. It doesn't even change the name of some Gnostic concepts it uses

Gnosticism and mad gods in of themselves are meta and existed since forever. Lovecraft because the classic pulp magazines loved his works and having the unexplorable like Tolkein is a classic way to get people intrigued.

Also Gnoticism is early scholar stuff. When you learn more people tend to move away from it.

>>97216420
That's because we are instantly hardwired to hate those kinds of concepts so the play can keep going.

Not the other anon, but I'm going to summarize the monomyth for you:

After viewing the pleroma from its side, a demiurge tricks his fellow aeons into participating in the construction of an imperfect material derivative, sacrificing their divine spark in so doing, trapping themselves and their descendants in a fallen state from which they're still trying to escape.

Describing Elder Scrolls as "X with some Y" would be reductive and retarded, but if I were to try, it would definitely include Gnosticism.

>>97209198
>Gnosticism
>Not a major religion
Shadow twin of both Christianity and Islam, #1 and #2 religions by number of adherents, is hardly obscure.
And objectively correct, of course.

I always give 3 sessions chance to everybody be GMs or players be friends or someone I just met. I think is fair, but once beyond that threshold just bail out, no game is better than no fun

Not reading the rules is only a problem if you make it one. I ran a three year campaign of Dark Heresy and mostly just checked the armory and the occasional talent/trait for equipping NPCs, but mostly just vibed in whatever gear I could think of. I didn't worry about balancing encounters since I knew come tight spot the players would quickly flick through the book to find some rule that let them get out a spot, or just outmanouver me by actually knowing what their talents did.
I got to focus in designing the adventurers and players got to pull cool moves on unexpecting baddies.

A year later I finally read through the rules and realized that kino stuff like 1d5 weapons doing more crits, scattered grenades needing line of sight (or bouncing off walls), random mooks doing crits just like PCs, vehicles not having HP (just module damages until useless) or most of the psychic disciplines being actually from RT, BC or splatbooks was a real surprise to me.

>>97230596
This holds to most games by <30 year olds these days, doubly so for D&D as they played some vidya and saw critical role and decided they play the ttrpg without bothering to learn the actual rules. When you point out how the actual rules say they go "uhh acshually the DM decides how the rules go". It's irredeemable shit all over.

>>97235184
lol TRASH

>>97235184
It sounds like you actually read the rules, though. You just didn't meticulously go through the list of all traits and gear items available, which is something I don't expect most GMs to do. In fact, it's the GM's job to make stuff like that up anyways. The GMs I have problems with are those who don't even know what dice or modifiers to use for basic skill checks. The GMs whose understanding of the game is so poor that I can't even play my character properly. Everything on my sheet might as not be there before the GM isn't even using the rules I need for my character to work.

Harn would be so good if only the creators weren't so absurdly greedy, selling fluff books without real game mechanics for the prize of actual games. Fuckers don't even have a good mass combat system for a setting that's all about 13th century antics.

>>97222678
why are you on the board for discussing games if you don't want to discuss games?

>>97222512

All fauna and terrain is made of some kind of food. All water features (rivers, lakes, etc.) are filled with milk instead of water, and milk has the inherent magical property of being permanently self-chilling, and it is always clean and safe to drink.

All sapient animals are "normal" (except that they talk and wear clothes). All non-sapient animals are made of food.

Pretty much nothing smaller than a mouse exists, so no insects, parasites, or other such creepy jeebies, unless they can be made whimsical. Bumblebees specifically get an exception, and are actually flying jolly ranchers. Giant versions of insects can exist as monsters.

When a monster is defeated, it vanishes in a puff of magic (colored appropriately for the monster's theme) and a burst of rainbow sprinkles, and leaves behind some gumdrops (the universal currency of the realm).

Our heroes begin their adventure in the quaint hamlet of Coldstone. It is under the protection of the Local Lady, Miss Wendy Wingspan the heron, the friendly, nervous, and somewhat absent-minded administrator who says "great goosefeathers!" a lot, and wears huge circular spectacles. She is rarely seen without her aide at her side, the good Mister Edgar Etchingcroft, the stern and dour yet compassionate bearded vulture with impressive eyebrows, an adorable vest, and a monocle.

>>97235183
When not otherwise stated, soil / rock is typically chocolate. Snow is white sugar.

Forest : Candy canes grow to the size of redwood trees, and their seeds are peppermint candies. Moss is cotton candy. Birds are peeps. Toblerodents scurry underfoot. You may encounter White Chocolate Wendigos. Coldstone is located here.

Mallowmarsh : A great morass of marshmallow substance, it collects into big piles that bunch up against the shores. Here you can find the chocodile and the vanilligator. The mangrove trees have waffle bark and maple syrup sap.

Cinnamon desert : The cacti are made of jello. Keep an eye on the sky, don't let the Ferrero Roc snatch you up. Watch your step too, those twizzler rattlesnakes don't take kindly to being stepped on. You may encounter giant peanut-brittle-shelled scorpions.

Brown sugar beach : Here you might find coconut-cream crabs and tortoises that have hollowed-out jawbreakers for shells. The fish are swedish fish.

The creamy north : Terrible and majestic, but not barren. Many creatures call this region home, including the popsicle penguins and cola bears. Most marine animals like seals, dolphins and sharks are gummies, similar to the aforementioned swedish fish. Massive icecreambergs float on the milk sea.

There's a couple of Arcane options. I think a feat and two PRCs (Spellsword and another one that has the coolest fucking name IIRC).
That said, slashing fuckers with Lava Missile and Shivering Touch is pretty cool.

>>97234975
The spell discharges after the first hit.
It also lingers in the weapon for 8 hours so you can prebuff that shit and not even have to use a move action.

>>97234960
Now think that with a Belt of Battle you can have a couple of extra move actions a day.
Not the best use of the item, but in certain situations that combination can come in handy.

>>97234960
I'm assuming you can't stack multiple spells on your weapon at once, but can you put different spells on multiple weapons at the same time?
Basically, can you pre-load a bunch of swords with weapons, take quick draw, and machine gun them over the course of a battle like single-use boomsticks?

>>97235081
Sadly, no.
You can only one weapon "channeled" at a time.
The spell does last 8 hours so you can get at least one off each battle without having to use a move action.

Green-Flame Blade, as well as booming blade, are conceptually really boring.

You'd think with two martial/magic users like bladesinger, eldritch Knight, and Zealot you'd give them options to give more utility and uniques uses for such spells.

His whole argument comes down to saying "If I were a demon I couldn't be afraid of ritual warding." Therefore ritual costumes are people dressing up AS the monster instead of warding it away.

Okay think about it like this. Charismatic Impact is one really expensive skill that's limited in application and unless you get it to a high level grants middling benefits. It's a similar problem to the Lawman and Backup.

>>97234045
If you cannot see how useful a skill to turn groups of people or individuals in your fans, and then having those fans do shit for you, you're bad at rpgs, full stop.

>>97234045
Alright, so lets talk about what Charismatic Impact does realistically, using the book examples: DV 8, DV 10 and DV 12 are standardized across the board and are both for making fans and getting stuff from them. The GM is instructed to auto-fail requests that are out of scope, so we'll try to match the descriptions to the letter. We'll assume the maximum rank for a given bracket, just to not calculate things too many times:

Rank 2:
DV 8 - Individual - 40% chance of doing a small favor; providing a meal or transportation
DV 10 - Small Group - 20% chance of showing up invited
DV 12 - Large Group - N/A

Rank 4:
DV 8 - Individual - 60% chance of doing a large favor
DV 10 - Small Group - 40% chance of hanging around and providing food or transportation
DV 12 - Large Group - 20% chance of... to be honest this one is kinda vague, but following the initial pattern, it seems they'll show up

Rank 6:
DV 8 - Individual - 80% chance of doing minor crimes

>>97234206
Yeah so looking at this list Rockerboy is pretty useless until level 6 and even then you only get an 80%-40% chance NPCs will do something meaningful for you. Compare this to an Exec who at rank 6 will have two useful NPCs work for them permanently doing whatever they say along with everything else the Exec gets by that point.

There's no description of what fans are actually like, what their stats are, what they can realistically achieve. Again it puts onus on the GM to figure it out, which can lead to Rockerboy being either really good or really useless depending on how these rules are interpreted and implemented.

>If you can't see how to use that there's no point in me bringing up how ludicrous is to walk up to 6 dudes and say "hey, I want you to go rough up some cops" and have them go "rock on dude" and do it sometimes without question.

Yeah so I can convince a bunch of retards to go get shot. For what reason? Are they going to be capable of actually downing the Cops? Are my fans not just civillians with little training?

Also anything the Rockerboy can achieve through Charismatic Impact could be solved with other skill checks. In my experience players aren't sure how to actually use Charismatic Impact and use it as a catch all social check. Like you could probably just give Rockerboy's a bonus to a few social skills instead of Charismatic Impact and you wouldn't lose too much utility. They're nothing in the rules to say you can't convince a group of people into suicidal fervor with a high enough Persuasion check.

>>97232721
Other things you might consider:
>If your melee and ranged attacks use different stats, then shotguns give ranged builds a close option
>If ranged weapons normally take penalties against close targets shotguns could bypass that.

don't know how mekton works but, the way I built shotguns on my PF2E hack is that they can hit multiple targets due to a scatter property, and they can deal good damage but they don't gain stat bonuses on said damage, meaning a rifle has lower, but more "consistent" damage while the shotgun can deal between 3 to 18 damage in a shot. They also all have recoil so you can't run and gun with them. Some of them also have "Razing" which makes them deal more damage when hitting structures.

From what I read and what you described, for mekton, you could probably add an area effect damage to them, give them a "critical range" where they deal a bit more damage or making them deal low amounts of damage to multiple parts (which add in total to high damage).

>>97232619
>Logically, shells full of scattering shot are a much better weapon for attacking NOT armored targets... and mechs ain't that.
