Every time I see "this cool fantasy setting that's not just Forgotten Realms but different" all I can think is how much I want to play an Eberron 13th Age game, or an Eberron video game, or really do anything in Eberron that doesn't involve the actual d&d mechanics.

I'm watching the Anime Overlord and reading its novel an I have a question: what's the best system to play as a high leveled super Lich with powerful Monster minions?

D&D 3.5 w/ Book of Vile Darkness

That's a legitimate answer since Ainz Ooal Gown the Lich has that heart crushing spell from BoVD on his 600+ spell list.

I've found that DW works best when everything the players do is a direct response to something the GM is throwing at them. You avoid having the players say "I hack and slash *roll*" by never asking them 'You're in a fight, what do you do?' To function properly, the GM needs to constantly be putting the PCs in a spot. Instead of 'It's your turn, what do you do?' it's always something like 'Cleric, the orc is bearing down at you, swinging its axe in an overhead cleave, what do?' 'Rogue, the cleric has an axe in his head and the orc is laughing in triumph, what do?'

I do agree than an improved DW should probably either condense combat into fewer rolls, or give a more robust selection of basic actions if it wants to stay zoomed in.

Aren't storygames supposed to take off the burden of narrating from the GM lol

Yes, they are, but DW wasn't designed as a story game, it was designed to be OSR. It just happened to get very popular with the story gaming crowd.

It was designed with the PbTA rules and intended to be a retroclone because that's like making a tractor with a motorcycle chassis.

Who does everyone think should play The Sun in the upcoming Exalted Motion Picture? My ideas:

- A torch

- A big pile of burning leaves

- Aaron Eckhart. What's this guy been up to lately? Do you think he resents Jon Hamm? I feel like they do the same thing but Jon Hamm does it better. Also what happened to Ted from Better Off Ted?

- A flashlight

- Some matches

- A Lite-Brite

- The moon

His name is The Unconquered Sun and he is being played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Yeah, pretty much this. There is at least like a 75% chance that the GM or the majority of players wander off within a month or two of starting.

Even on that Ars Magica game you GMed which is on a system that lends itself to loving PBP easier than most systems, half of the party bailed in a month despite the fact we had a loving skype group to hurry people up. *makes the crying angry feel guy face*

My only Maid experience is limited to the listening to the RPPR podcast where they read through the book but I'm pretty sure one of the examples of play in the book was a bunch of maids removing their (underage) master's clothes. Or maybe vice versa. Either way it's real weird and gross.

Thats not weird at all you loving freak. The maid who worked on my home irl took my clothes off to bath all the time when I was a kid but the only one who porked her was dad which is why he got a divorce.

Even I don't know how to feel about the fact that Maid RPG got a huge boost in sales from that.

Retail Magic was the game that started as "let's do something non-pervy with the Maid RPG rules." Schoolgirl RPG started as an attempt to make the simplest Maid RPG variant possible, though I did make a point to keep it PG.

Ah that's cool man, its good that the game about pretending to be an underage schoolgirl is not sexual at all, otherwise it would be pretty weird haha
