FishFood posted:It looks like the thread for this has died so I'm posting this here! I'm looking to start a WFRP 3rd Edition campaign and I'm setting it in an alt-history fantasy Hellenistic period. I've statted out Orcs because Orcs rule and they're filling in as Scythians in the setting. I've got the document here if anyone with some experience with the system wants to look over it and tell me how terrible it all looks. Fantasy hellenic world is a cool concept and I will destroy all the unfathomably horrible posts after this one in order not to sully it.

Thanks all! It's a setting I've been thinking about for a long time and pulling my hair out over making maps and poo poo and then just decided "gently caress it, gonna use nat geo maps and make it alt history". Any feedback on the orc stats?

Morbid curiosity, I suppose, but did Traveller5 ever get somewhat unfucked? I see there's still some kind of errata effort going on.

I picked up the beta for the new mongoose traveller, and it's a nice refinement of the first edition. Not sure it's worth picking up if you either hated the first one or already have all the books for it.

Speaking as someone who thinks 'giant robots vs Cthulhu' was a fantastic concept pissed away... They want me to (physically) sign an NDA, which they don't include in the packet. They want all feedback through their dedicated subreddit, which I can understand, but like hell I'm signing up for Reddit just for this. "Feedback should be positive. We like constructive criticism." So far, so bollocks. I think I'll wait and see.

Covok posted:Feedback should be positive = We don't actually want this beta to improve our game at all. 13th Age was pretty responsive to negative feedback. Some elements didn't improve and some became actively worse, but there was also feedback-based redesign that went beyond simply balancing the numbers. Of course they also didn't have an NDA (for a few days  )

A mediocre CthulhuTech with dodgy rules that still won't let Shinji get in the drat cyborg eldritch abomination is a hell of a lot better than the original.

You know, if you can't handle people saying anything negative about your work, regardless of how polite or correct they might be, you might not be cut out for a creative field like this one.

Maybe they mean "tell us what we are doing wrong instead of shouting that this is garbage or triggers you"? But if that was the case they could have just said "constructive". I don't know if I trust these guys enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Asking for positive feedback only is a good way to not get any good feedback on your game. People will be too concerned with whether or not they're using the right tone to actually give you anything useful.

If new Cthulutech is like old Cthulutech, you could actually point out that there's legitimately triggering poo poo in there to sexual assault survivors for example, though.

The writers of Cthulutech have specifically stated that they realized how lovely all the triggering stuff was in the first edition, and are trying to make good in this new one.

Helical Nightmares posted:How does it compare to Stars Without Number? The systems are totally different, Stars Without Number is better if you like retroclones. I think the system generation in Traveller is better, but I really like the faction turn in SWN. Galaga Galaxian posted:What kind of changes have they made? Jumping from space scale to personal scale combat is a lot easier now, since they've more or less unified all the different systems they were using. They've also simplified the damage rules a lot. Ships have a power rating you have to worry about now, so you get stuff like having to cut the power to the engines to keep shooting all your weapons if you've taken damage or you've jury-rigged way too many guns onto a ship. Character generation is still random, but they're including support for other methods. I haven't noticed any sort of "you're dead, start over" stuff for bad rolls. They've consolidated some skills where it made sense. Instead of a bunch of dice modifiers, they basically took Advantage/Disadvantage dice from D&D 5th. It's 90% the same, honestly. The biggest change that has older fans mad is that they've consolidated all of the shipbuilding rules and moved them to a different book instead of having basic rules in the core and advanced rules in a supplement.

What's Fantasy Flight's track record like? I heard they bought L5R and I'm wondering if that means a new edition with a bunch of new fiddle little rules. It's p. cool that they're gonna continue the card game, I guess. But calling it a Living Card Game will never not sound ridiculous.

What would be the best system for running a horror themed King of the Hill game? I had a vision yesterday of Hank Hill and pals squaring off against Lovecraftian horrors and I haven't been able to shake it.
