Honestly, what I'm looking for is an RPG with a decent/interesting tactical system that I don't need a map for. It doesn't necessarily need to be a 4e-oid, though a 4e-oid would probably be optimal.

Oh and what is sister loving like? This is an elminster thread, it's a safe space for that sort of poo poo.

IIRC the Complete Book of Elves guy is working at InExile on Torment: Tides of Numenerra. That being the sequen to planescape torment, set in a setting made by monte cook.

Him apologizing for it was one of the stretch goals, although i'm not sure if he went through with it.

As i asked in the completely very much totally WRONG thead....

Anyone know any good mecha rpgs that are narrative based? And failing that just are there any good mecha rpgs?

Im hoping to find a system to help a dm do a sequel to a cool campaign.

Fate Core has a mecha system in Fate World 2: Worlds in Shadow, Camelot Trigger, it's pretty decent for narrative based RPGs. As for other systems, they have varying levels of bad design baked in, for the most part existing mecha RPGs are at best decent, none are really 'good'.

I've probably posted on SA maybe ten times in the past month. I dunno, don't got plat.

The avatar's from one of the GoT chat threads, there was an argument about whether it was immoral for Jaime Lannister to gently caress his sister (consensually). I took the position that it wasn't. That's it.

Sigh it seems like mecha rpgs are kinda like the genre in general. Its kinda hard to ladle good punch when theres a turd in the bowl.

Ettin got me an SA account for :10bux: because he really liked a post I made about sexism in the table-top community (which I plastered all over the Internet).

Since an avatar costs 5, you could probably do half of what I did and get slightly less Internet drama out of the deal.

He apologized for writing a book so cool that scrubs couldn't appreciate it. Eat that, elfhaters.
