I just found out the guy who made the Gor roleplaying game (the sexist rpg setting where woman are property that are regularly raped) and a card game about tentacle rape, also made a book all about diversity in tabletop gaming. According to a review, it's exactly the racists/sexist creed you'd expect. Not that I can say for certain because I'm not buying that poo poo. Just ugh.

I like d12s. Recommend me a game that uses lots of d12s. Don't say Cthulhutech.

Hard mode: a game that uses d12s and isn't Tolkien or pseudo-Tolkien fantasy. Immortality gun, no contest. Not for the gun, for the immortality.

Countblanc posted:Yeah people have gotten bits and pieces of D&D canon from like a hundred different sources and it just sort of builds up. I really think this is where the "magic can do anything because it's magic" sort of thing comes from because, while the rules definitely encourage this, I've spoken to people who have never cracked open a D&D manual at any point who just like nod along with the idea that magic is just inherently Better. Funnily enough in my experience it's the opposite, where people who have never bothered to actually learn the rules for themselves insist that martial characters will totally always beat casters because that's how it's always gone in their games.

Splicer posted:Hard mode: a game that uses d12s and isn't Tolkien or pseudo-Tolkien fantasy. I don't know if you will count this, but the Star Wars Fantasy Flight series uses D12 for Skill and Challenge Dice. However, they are changed to have symbols on them so I don't know if you want to count that.

NGDBSS posted:Didn't the Exalted 2E errata eventually extend to over 200 pages? Yes. Bear in mind they ended up rewriting huge chunks of the charm system - the Dragon Blooded, Sidereals, Fair Folk, and First Age material was all practically rewritten because the existing 2e material was either unsalvageable or  copy-pastes from 1e. Of course, even with all that, there was stuff like Sidereal Martial Arts that never got fixed - there was supposed to be Scroll of the Monk II for that. But then they decided they didn't want to waste more time with 2e, canceled that, and decided to move on to 3e, which means most the stuff they "fixed" would basically end up being unsupported for over half a decade...It's been a real mess.

Even when you're deep into Exalted, it's tough to parse or even really just look at 40 solid text-only pages of totally rewritten Sidereal or Fair Folk Charms. I think without the art it would still be like 180+ pages.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Huh, really? One of my usual players, while admitting it's a pretty simple class, seems to have fun with it. But they're really into the tactical element of the game, and I can certainly see the appeal in coming out of nowhere, doing a fuckton of damage to the most dangerous enemy on the board and slipping away. Plus, you can play a ninja and throw poisoned shurikens everywhere. The oldsassin was a class that had some fun powers, flavor, and concepts but was married to using shrouds, one of the worst class mechanics in the game.

Plutonis posted:It's either Ring (can trick devil into giving the other items AND your soul with super intelligence) or Gun (can kill devil or other owners of magic items) The gun only says it will never miss, it doesn't say it can kill anything, so that only works if the devil isn't bulletproof to begin with. And then you could just use a regular gun.

Splicer posted:I like d12s. Recommend me a game that uses lots of d12s. Bad news! It's this one: My Lovely Horse posted:"Okay, to calculate your AC, you just add up the basic value plus the average of your Agility and Intuiton plus your dodge skill plus your parry rank, which is a third of your weapon group skill. Oh but when you fight unarmed you only get the parry bonus against other unarmed attacks. That's all for melee defense too, scratch the parry rank against ranged attacks. And if you're caught unaware, skip the dodge skill as well. Now that's your basic AC; add your armor bonus to get your armored AC. If the attack roll is below basic AC, it's a miss, if it's above armored AC, you take full damage, and if it's between basic and armored AC you take damage but get to subtract your armor's damage reduction score. Any questions?"

For me the bigger issue was that the charms got spread between multiple books for many splats and then when you added the Scroll of Errata, making a character was often a minimum of a three-book affair (including Errata) of interlocking charm trees. Online aids helped some but I think even they fell out of date at the time. It never got as sprawling as something like 3.5 but it was all much more interconnected than just piecemeal.

I recall that I used a fair chunk of art out of the board games, in part because more of it was in color, but also because it was stuff I figured a lot fewer people had seen already. I don't know if any of it was originally for one thing or another. The files I got were for a handful of products and they weren't particularly well-organized or -labeled. quote:For me the bigger issue was that the charms got spread between multiple books for many splats and then when you added the Scroll of Errata, making a character was often a minimum of a three-book affair (including Errata) of interlocking charm trees.

Oh absolutely it was a tremendous mess, particularly after the Dawn Fix or whatever it was called when the number of new widgets and resource pools ballooned, and extremely long Charms started to become more common. For my home games I had print-outs of everything with fully integrated errata and house rules, but I just did that sort of poo poo all the time anyway. After the huge rewrites started rolling out, I can't imagine the proportion of people who actually used the errata was all that significant even if you discount the probable majority who weren't aware it existed in the first place.

Splicer posted:It's the gun. The gun makes you live longer, and "in view of the shooter" is a ludicrously easy condition to game. Kill someone once every 20 years and, barring accidents, the devil never gets to collect. I´d say the gun is just as cursed. Anyone who you can kill with it was at the end of their lifespan, so no time is ever added to your clock. All it does is lead to a mass spree of killing without you ever getting any time added to your own. It´s a trick to get the owner to kill. If people have as would be required, a pre-determined amount of lifetime, then anyone you´d kill with it always would have been at the end of theirs, because you´d be unable to choose freely in such a universe. So, congrats on choosing the trick trap option, I guess? The watch is worse though, because it doesn´t say that it stops your own time. So you just age twice as fast as everyone else does...
