I know that's some stupid naming tradition thing but can we just watch Tara Strong save a fox instead?

Tarol's fans funded the down payment on his house in exchange for a short comic, so there are totally some people willing to throw lots of money at him. It does look like he hit critical-fan-leverage-mass at $173k though.

So a while back, I backed Unity RPG on Kickstarter. I finally got around to looking at the pre-release stuff, and drat, guys. This is loving great, so far. Like a streamlined, more flavorful 4e, with crunch in the right places and fluff elsewhere. The updates have been making me optimistic, too - like, they hired an actual professional editor. And did good stuff with layout. I'll try and do an F&F once the final book is ready.

That actually has narrative and attention and an editor and layout and so many other things, so yep much better than Strike.

It seems to suffer from at least a minor case of unnecessary vocabulary, but I can forgive a few issues like th - oh look, diceless GMing! And I'm glad it is getting an editing pass - the pre-release has some issues which should be easy to fix. edit: Moriatti posted:I'm very interested but F&F isn't bookmarked for me, please link when you post. dwarf74 fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Dec 20, 2017 |

I have no idea how running 4E gridless can work well honestly and it removes one of the biggest drawns I have for it.

gradenko_2000 posted:You know what else has marginalia? The sidebars in the cypher games are okay when they're adding flavor asides in, but the page citations are so inconsistent and bad it drives me crazy. They often point to the same 10 concepts on the same page numbers over and over, which in a few cases isn't even a place that defines the concept in a clear way. On top of that, the books still drop random words and terms throughout the text without pointing to a page you can look up a better explanation of the term. Plutonis posted:I have no idea how running 4E gridless can work well honestly and it removes one of the biggest drawns I have for it. There's a combat sample on the kickstarter's page here if you want an idea. It looks like the game uses abstracted ranges similar to 13th age with adjacent/nearby/far being the key distances.

You know, people are allowed to like more than one game. It's not like people who like Strike! are cheating on me if they buy another game. In fact, people who buy other indie RPGs are much more likely to buy Strike! than someone who never has, so it's literally the opposite of competition. I'm interested in seeing if this game does gridless better than 13A.

Cassa posted:Sounds cool, but what's with the adversity to a grid? After running 4e for several 1-20 and now a 1-30 campaign, I like my grids but don't need them in every game.  Even if this is a largely gridless 4e-alike that will fill a good niche that is currently sitting empty.

Cassa posted:Sounds cool, but what's with the adversity to a grid? Using a grid adds a level of "props overhead" and "gameplay overhead" that people sometimes want to do away with. It's also a little funny to see this push-pull happen because despite 5e being lauded for "allowing for gridless play", there are a LOT of groups that like to use miniatures and create terrain battlefields anyway.
