Splicer posted:Nah that's pretty cool, as long as a crit success and a crit fail have different, independent effects. "You nuked that guy superhard but also blew out your coolant tank" is a good game thing. I have no idea what the crit successes and fails did in that game though, but based on the rest of the game I assume they involve rape in some manner. Hastur's faction that took over Europe and Asia was literally called "The Rapine Storm". The other salient problem with CthulhuTech was that the adventure(s) written allowed no player agency at all. At least that is what I got from the F and F review. Here is a bunch of horrible and sick stuff you have to witness and you can do nothing about it. It was less of an adventure and more of a poorly written sick hentai fanfic.

Yawgmoth posted:Nope. It was presented in the nWoD "failed and also broke everything", "failed", "succeeded", "succeeded so hard it made something else easier" sort of style. I mean, you could probably figure out some sort of complicated success style thing but as written it just reeked of "we didn't playtest this at all."

Ewen Cluney posted:I had the idea to do a silly thing about the staff at a magic item shop years before Recettear existed (I ran it a couple times using Risus), and I revived the idea when I decided to try to do something non-pervy with the Maid RPG rules. I ended up playing Recettear and incorporating some ideas from it after I started on Retail Magic, and I still need to figure out how I'm going to implement the "Commerce Rules" that'll let you do a retail shop simulation in addition to the silliness. I certainly think there is a market for editing or refining ideas from other games. Sine Nomine did a great job reimagining Traveller in Stars Without Number and using that as a launch pad for exploring other genres. Ettin's Nyarlanthotech (sp?) was a hack of Cthulhutech with the aim to remove all the stupidity and I think that had merit. So as much as I detest anime and the fanbase of drooling amorphous manchildren, cleaning up the Maid RPG rules into something that doesn't involve rolling for lolita is also useful. I haven't seen a full magic shop simulator table top game, and I think the idea is very cool and has a lot of potential. Whether you design a full simulator of a fantasy economy or reduce supply and demand scarcity to a series of tables (or both!) I'm interested to see what you come up with. On the subject of modeling business, Caleb Stokes' Red Markets will have some very interesting negotiation mechanics. At this moment in the Red Market's beta they are one of the most gritty and bleak systems I've ever come across but I'm certain they could be adapted to any number of different genres. In a magic retail shop I could also imagine bidding wars for a rare object or perhaps stock at a wholesale marketplace. This brings to mind the Auction rules in Kenneth Hite's Bookhounds of London. And if you design a full system for a retail magic shop economy and rules for interacting with gear hunting adventurers why stop there? How about running a shop on a space station?  Or applying the rules to a goodfella who is trying turn a profit running a Speakeasy in the 1930's and has to make border runs to Canada to keep his stock full?

It could just be D&D because thats the only thing that exists to the parents. The kids could also be teens and the parents just want them to shuttup.
