Jimbozig posted:So I actually clicked the link to see what this competitive D&D was going to be and was interested to see that it's not like the old tournament modules but is instead a PvP battle arena. My guess is (if the DMs they recruited to help build the characters were even vaguely proficient in the game) the premade casters will have some deliberately "suboptimal" picks in their available spells like direct damage spells, buffs, and situationally-useful things like water breathing over full save-or-dies and mass-disables. Some goofy poo poo will still slip through, and I don't expect that the melee classes will be able to do much anyway besides hit things and grunt, but it'll also depend on the character level too.

Ran the first session of Marvel Heroic Roleplaying and it was alot of fun, not sure I was following all the rules but it was good enough for an intro and a little campaign hook. The only thing I"m missing from the basic book for the system is a bunch of enemy templates for BBEGs or just mooks to beat up on. I made stuff up on the spot figuring roughly what would be up to but is there like a monster manual equivalent for that system I could find?

Invisible Sun Kickstarter rises again!quote:Invisible Sun is an enormously complex product to make and deliver—almost certainly the most audacious RPG production of all time, and among the most complex of all tabletop games in any category. That’s why we’re taking the reprint to Kickstarter. A Kickstarter campaign not only funds a costly print run, it also helps us judge demand to ensure we make the right quantity. Too many is wasteful—not only of our resources, but at 33lb (15kg) per game, of the world’s as well. Too few leaves us in exactly the situation we’re in now, with gamers clammoring for a Black Cube that we can’t give them. A Kickstarter campaign helps us get the number just right. "Kickstarter allows us to make just the right amount of product, so please back this, the same project again, because last time we didn't make enough." From what I've heard and what little I've seen, is Invisible Sun actually all that complex? Or, is it more just needlessly arcane? I'll grant that it's certainly audacious!

So, do people still play fragged empire? Kind of feels like that game died out, though I did hear about more supplements coming out. I just don't hear no one talk about it anymore. I remember it got pretty popular for a hot minute then nothing. But maybe it's just the circles I swim in.

Fragged is great, their discord is pretty healthy. It could definitely use a module or two to help show the expected styles of play.

It's a little hard to wrap your head around at first but pretty solid once you do (some stuff I do handwave though). Having now gone through Fragged Seas/Fragged Kingdom more I think they're a lot more streamlined permutations of the system (though still pretty weighty) - I hope there's an Empire v2 at some point that incorporates some of those changes.

I'm running a Fragged Kingdom game at the moment and it's going pretty well. I wish it had more premade encounters though.

That’s 100% true. More premade enemies would be welcome.

I am still running a game of Empire as well. It's monthly though, so gives me plenty of time to make stuff for each session. I'd totally buy a book of premade enemies, and premade equipment etc (more than the armouries)

Coolness Averted posted:Also isn't one of the big gimmicks the villains and Yugi were both cheating? Ranging from 'the magic ghost in my necklace lets me intuit the best plays' to It gets worse with every new Yugioh season.  Pretty much every Yugioh protagonist has done some form of cheating at some point or another, right down to the incredibly blatant ‘I’m going to magically transform this card I just drew into exactly the card I need to win’ trick. Bullshitting and cheating the rules needs to be a core part of any Yugioh RPG.

Hi folks! I'm going to be running a Panic! At the Dojo* game later today, the premise is that the Anime Club's president has kidnapped their club's president in order to invoke ancient school laws to take their club's budget. They'll have to fight through the Anime Club's next highest members, the Four Heavenly Kings (of Anime Club) in order to reach the president of Anime Club and rescue their president so they can save their budget! *I know there's no ! in the name, it's just fun.

I kind of want to run Fragged Empires in the Vaxis universe (that is, after the Amory Wars when the entire galaxy is in shambles in the Coheed and Cambria metaplot). The more I think about it the more I want to make it happen.

While not exactly finished, it is at least playable for the time being. I've had a lot of promising feedback from playtesters that's been helping me move forward with it.

Serious post time: I really really really loving hate internet celebrity gossip/drama poo poo and it's why I have grown to resent the grognards.txt thread because it degenerated into that all the time. But looking at the Industry thread and the 5E thread I realized that it being gassed led to it spilling towards the rest of the forum like the bhopal chemical disaster and I'm wondering if there should be a containment thread for Zak S or whoever so I can safely never click or read it ever.
