My post was directed at Covoc, we posted at the same time so I didn't bother quoting. Both books have all sorts of other things besides x-taurs and Cen-x's, though. B&B's rather infamous for the extremely niche poo poo it has, like halfling/blink dogs, and half-gnolls.

I like audio dramas. They're great for having something to listen to while you fall asleep or work out. I've been doing audio books for a decade now and I love it.

See the problem there is that's actually kind of cool and not something that would've been considered back in the 1990's, which is where VGB is getting all his ideas. Do you think he's tried to sell Paradox on an FMV game yet?

Ok yeah, those could be really cool things. I would love to see the Testament of Longinus done in Illuminated manuscript style too. I like the original layout, but I've never seen a copy in person, and the drivethrurpg printing just wouldn't be the same. I realize that there's just not a market for a print run of it, so I don't expect to ever seen one. Books like this that are almost entirely text specific to a part of the game world are a blast to me.

Gumball Gumption posted:How many dead forms of media can they invest in? Radio dramas aren't quite dead. BBC four commissions and plays hundreds of new ones each year. It's actually a very good way for new screenwriters to get commissioned because they're so cheap to produce, the BBC is more willing to take a risk. Admittedly a lot of them aren't that good and the audience is almost entirely old people but still, they exist.

My first reaction to seeing the audio dramas in the scion KS was "well this is weird", but after thinking about it it kinda makes sense to me. The popularity of podcasts suggests there are plenty of folks wanting stuff to listen to, even if its a couple nerds talking about their thoughts on the tuna fish sandwich they just ate. Radio dramas seem like they could easily make a comeback for that sort of audience.

I assumed it was because Eddy Webb works at Earplay now. I kickstarted their first one, Codename: Cygnus. It was... cheesy, but there's potential there.

Yeah, there's a metric shitton of radio play podcasts, including some that are just rebroadcasts of actual old radio shows Like, this is just one list and given that it's nearly four months old it's probably obsolete at this point. http://imgur.com/gallery/8zyHl

Well, except for their tendency to assume the role of FIRST AMONG EQUALS, with an emphasis very heavily on 'first'. They have this bad tendency to default to tyranny when in doubt. (And only the Mysterium has more scorn for Normal Unawakened Person; at least the Ladder want to Awaken that guy.) But yes, declaring open war on the Exarchs so that all might become as gods is pretty cool!

I had a lot of fun citing that sidebar in some theeads-ago argument about which Order was libertarian or whatever. It was like oh, you believe taxation is theft? That's cute. I believe that anyone who would deny me immortality and omnipotence must be struck from time and space.MalcolmSheppard posted:This was me. It's not what I believe though.

Yawgmoth posted:About the SL, or about people? I don't like death, but I love life, and don't think life's as miserable as all that. Anyway, what I try for with faction philosophies is for them to be engaging, functional ways of looking at the world that intelligent people in the characters' situations can get behind. I never liked designing for some intentional ideological blindness because if I can see the problems, the characters can. So in utterly rejecting complacency or any sense of peace with the Fallen World, the Ladder stays motivated, which I hope sets them apart from other "boss factions."

The Ladder is as compelling as it is because on one hand I obviously deserve to be the world's strongest wizard, and on the other hand the human race is clearly afflicted by loads of easily-avoided deprivation and misery that only exists to slightly convenience the corrupt oligarchs who rule over us from on high. Either way you look at it, the Ladder is in the right.

It's telling that the people who react to that blurb with horror are the ones going "nobody could possibly actually believe that, they really just want it for themselves." Well, yeah, no poo poo wanting it just for yourself would make you a monster. That it isn't that is the whole point.

I just want to play the Silver Ladder who is out for revenge against the linear concept of time because she's late to everything. Or the guy with a vendetta against the fact that raw cookie dough is delicious but you're not supposed to eat it. I mean that, the idea of Silver Ladders crusading against the false perception human beings experience a range of suffering from the enormous to the petty. How much unnecessary suffering has been created by lateness alone? That's a good sidebar right there.
