It really does feel good to let all of this election poo poo go. There is absolutely nothing I or any of us can do to beat back the tide of boomers who insisted on only giving us a choice between two rapist ghouls. I've  ed with the people in my life who contributed to this and I've taken the grillpill.

the call of Cthulhu system is poo poo garbage from the 1980s and Matt, as always, quickly figured out that making an interesting and “real” character actually leads to boring gameplay. He figured out what sucks about old school RPGs very quickly (you get limited points for your character and it’s always better to optimize them for combat than anything else because all interesting adventures have combat). they are playing 30-40 year old game design rules when they could be playing poo poo actually designed to make fun stories and gameplay. YES I am mad about RPGs and NO I won’t be quiet. have them play trail of Cthulhu or something.

Mantis42 posted:How do modern rpgs resolve this? generally by making it easier to have a thing you are good at that is applicable both to in-fighting and out-of-fighting abilities in some extreme cases, like Lancer, a giant robots RPG, giant robot fights and out-of-giant-robot-interactions use two completely distinct sets of stats in some less extreme cases, like the FFG Star Wars RPG, and to a lesser extent 5th edition D+D, there's always a way to use your best stats in combat, even if they're not the traditional combat stats. give anyone a choice between yelling "your whole style is chump" at an enemy for 1d4 damage if they fail a wisdom saving throw, and just putting an arrow into their head for 1d8+4 and they pick option 2, but option 1's existence does a lot to keep the bard's player from completely tuning out once things get fighty

seriously though things are real hosed, only getting worse and with no end in sight. when people yearn for the days when they could get by paycheck to paycheck at their deadend job you know capitalism is reaching it's breaking point. people are dying in the thousands daily and when food banks and homeless shelters are no longer functioning expect people to start really getting nutty with it

the chapo guys have never been actually starving afaik but they've never presented themselves as truly desperate either what they have felt is the shame and inadequacy of doing the stuff they were told would get them ahead and ending up regressing instead - they haven't been at risk of dying from external circumstances, but tons of guys in that situation kill themselves and calling it soft is pretty hosed up

V. Illych L. posted:the chapo guys have never been actually starving afaik but they've never presented themselves as truly desperate either I agree actually. Every human judges terror and horror and badness by their own scale formed through their lives. I've had a pretty lovely life myself, and I think it's usually an emotional response to erase other's suffering that isn't healthy nor helpful. I'm trying to do better on this, anyway.

Who the gently caress sees a skill called "library use" and goes I will put points in that. I want to be good at reading books and never going outside. I wish to roleplay as a big ol' nerd. My character is already wearing a fedora and I'm going to max out Forbidden Lore: Anime

It's probably the second most used skill in the game, but arguably the most important. Spot hidden probably gets more use but so many adventure outcomes relies almost entirely on finding the vital clue with library use. Going to the library used to be a good way for the GM to drop hints and exposition before the "idea check" became popular as well. In general CoC is not a well designed mystery game, as progress requires you to succeed with these clue-finding rolls. However, in all but the more pulpy scenarios you can avoid fights if you get the right clues.
