Remember, folks. The more alien, the more magical. Magic is that vital lack of familiarity. Wonder and mystery.
>>98319131Not in the scope of shit people can make rules one can play actual games with.
>>98319141>he can’t insert mystery into his mechanics>he assumes his players’ characters view the world the same way their players do Sounds like a skill issue
>>98319144Until such time as you give a citation of a system that does magic "well" by your retarded pileup of prescriptive definitions derived from even-more-retarded conflations of MASSIVELY separated etymological contexts, your bullshit remains the subject of >>>/x/ wonderfag.
>>98319168O damn, u mad
>>98319144Yeah, the issue in this case would be giving players magic
>>98319131>The more alien, the more magical.Wrong.Magic is unquantifiable, since mathematically speaking, magic can't exist in our world.Being a supernatural or unnatural force, power, or source means it's an inherently fantastical concept.Since fantasy is the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable, a fantasy game can have supernatural and unnatural aspects (both to us and to it) while also having aspects that are natural to it but unnatural to us.Personal senses of wonder and mystery don't change what the creator of a fantasy game establishes as its magic, or other supernatural and unnatural aspects they establish.
>>98319168G.U.R.P.S. is always the correct answer.
>>98319476Naaah, he’s not wrong.Sufficiently weird phenomena that pushes my shit in = “magic” (“I ain’t gotta explain shit”)“Magic” has always been more magical than Magic™.
>>98319476>Magic is unquantifiable, since mathematically speaking, magic can't exist in our world.>since mathematically speaking Are you retarded?
Rolled 2, 2, 6, 3, 3, 2, 1, 4 = 23 (8d6)Ok, anyway I cast Fireball at the pack of goblins.
>>98319594Supernatural and unnatural things don't exist in our world; everything that exists is natural to it.
>>98319131Hi WonderfagAnyways, what game are you talking about? Cause it’d be easier to determine if mystery is a factor into the effectiveness of magic or not in that particular system if you clarify which game you meant.
>>98319578We sophisticates call that psychic phenomena, brainlet.
>>98319131This art is shit.
>>98320184Nah it’s pretty kewlLewd too
>>98320562>Weird alien statuette jacking off>Lewd
this thread again, deja vu
>>98320611Big lady with pointy nipples. Very lewd.
>>98320618The dress doesnt even have a noticable clevage, women have boobs, it doesnt make it lewd
>>98319131Traditional games?
>>98319131Make yourself more magical and fuck off.
>>98319131>Wonder and mysteryOkay, how do you display that using mechanics and rules? Every attempt at spellcasting is a random table?
What if all magic comes from aliens?
>>98320648Use your fucking imagination you nerd
>>98321861I can use my imagination to imagine tits at any point of the day, anywhere, it doesnt make anything i look at lewd
>>98319757You think psionics aren’t magic? Lol, lmao even
>>98319131Agreed. I would go so far as to argue that as soon as you make magic symmetric and predictable, you ruin it. Magic needs to occupy the unknown, and mages need to be people who knows how to manipulate powers they don't quite understand. Making magic into a symmetric system with predictable scaling is tempting, because the symmetry between spells simplifies its relation to the player group. But by doing so, you are doing the game a disservice.
>>98323288Oh look it’s the wonderfag again. Responding to himself as usual.
>>98319168>>98319476>>98319754>>98323326I think your amygdala is freaking out
