Um. Fallout is basically about the 1980s and the death of the idealism of the 1950s. So you'd want to have lots of references to the British 1950s (and sci-fi 50s like Dan Dare) and build around that.

Just ask yourself "What would League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1950 would like"

I don't think this is a shitpost, Queen`Fiona. I think it's much better than anything some others have posted.

As for your question, well, I found all of you through TG...and, well, suffice it to say that I'm much more comfortable talking about...weird things. Like my sexuality. At least with you all. So...thanks.

I've learnt through RPG's that grappling is the most complicated thing the human mind has ever conceived of.

It's pretty easy actually my man I've learned all there is to grappling by playing as Zangief and Iron Tager, reading Baki the Grappler, Tough and Teppu and practicing Jiu Jitsu with the lost Gracie sibling, Francisgleyson.

Sike!: The Dragon was actually a good entity who kept the Princess imprisoned because she is an evil tyrant and now the PCs hosed up and have to team up with the previous villain in order to beat the new menace.

Tome of Battle question: I know that the Warblade was intended to be a direct replacement for the Core Fighter, but was the Crusader supposed to replace the Paladin? And was the Swordsage supposed to replace anyone in particular?

I've only gone through two of the disciplines so far, but I don't think anything's going to top Finishing Move and Strike of Perfect Clarity.

Swordsage was supposed to be a Monk substitute as far as I know, it even has an unarmed variation!

So apparently Wizards of the Coast bans sex offenders from the DCI. Even if it happened ten years ago. And the guy did time. Unless I'm reading biased articles that seems a little overkill.

Aatrek was convicted and did time on the same period so hell, let's get him back to mod TVIV.

Perhaps we can stop discussing whether DCI should consider "convicted felon" to be a protected category against which it is verboten to discriminate

And resume discussion of elfgames.

Specifically, I'd like to talk about how game and setting designers can construct things to make it more likely the PCs will need to broker a difficult peace between King Ulfbright and the orc tribes instead of taking a commission from King Ulfbright to slay the orc tribes. A good first start is to strip "Always Chaotic Evil" and such language, but I think there's more to be done than that; most elfgame RPGs have more pagecount devoted to waging war than waging peace.

Go write an article complaining there's too much fighting on Witcher 3.

I've got to agree here. Sorry Plutonis is being...Plutonis in your chat thread, Queen Fiona.

As for what makes a monster in a D&D setting...aren't there a ton of spells that allow one to talk to plants and animals and extradimensional beasties and stuff? And since all these griffins and the like have to cast spells, don't they get high INT scores to do so? So sapience or INT score or ability to communicate in a language don't seem like they get the desired effect.

I'm gonna make fun of all of those who deny the simple truth that nature is a zero-sum game where every species is out there to slaughter each other unless they enter an alliance of convenience that still has one clear superior being, like humans and pets/cattle. If orcs and elves existed, we would either wipe them all out in a catastrophic genocide war or leave some of them alive to be artificially selected and bred into thralls.

So AD&D 1e just had its third book re-released, I bought nWOD last month, this is coming out and I hear a new Rifts is also a thing?

I'm pretty stoked at being able to play through all these classic games. It's like Trad Games GOG.

The Totalbiscuit recommended tabletop game sale would be dope.
