:coffeepal: Welcome to the new Traditional Games chat thread! This is the thread for:

  • TG chat that doesn't fit into an existing thread, or would derail another thread
  • New users and lurkers who want to introduce themselves and/or ask questions
  • Asking where the thread for X is, or if you should post a thread about X (:justpost:)

Like the last thread this one will probably run through the year.

Standard TG/grey forum rules and chat thread houserules apply.

To start us off, what's everyone's gaming plans for 2017? Have you told the resolution thread? :buddy:

I posted another game rec thread but I'm thinking about just making a big game rec thread instead of a monthly thing. Or is there one and I missed it? :ohdear:

I'm about to re-open the 5E thread so you can stop posting about it here. I'd appreciate it if you didn't continue this in that thread either, I think we've had enough posting about posting for now.

This discussion is happening simultaneously in the WoD thread, it'd probably be easier if you condensed it over there.

So, it looks like I'll be playing a session of some system called "the void?" A quick Google search suggests that it's kinda like Cthulhu tech meets Eclipse Phase. Anyone familiar with the details? I'm reeeeeeealy hopeful that its way more Eclipse Phase than Cthulhu tech, as I've read the F&Fs of Cthulhu tech and am not a fan of all the dumb gross stuff in it.

I haven't looked at it as much as CTech, but the PDF is Creative Commons/PWYW so you can check it out for yourself here if you like.

IIRC it leaves out most of the dumb bullshit, though the setting chapter has a lot of the same ideas about Islam:

quote:

The brutal fighting raged for three years. Then, the inevitable finally happened – the first and only nuclear detonation of the war exploded in 2018. Radical Islamic terrorists, still bent on carrying out their Jihad against a crippled Unites States, managed to load a crude atomic bomb on a cargo ship headed for Los Angeles. The bomb detonated prematurely while the ship was in layover at the Malaysian port of Port Klang. Millions of Malaysian Muslims died within minutes that day.

The resulting dramatic shock caused an immediate ceasefire among warring parties. The possibility of a world teetering on the brink of death became all too real. Many historians would later regard the sacrifice of Port Klang as the event that saved the human race from extinction. Religious radicalism and old hatreds seemed to wane in light of a new urgency to find common ground. In 2019, the Treaty of Jerusalem was signed, officially ending World War III and ushering in a new age for mankind.

I don't remember The Void having any rape furries or anything though??

Yeah sale/trade threads go in SA Mart.

It should be cool to toss a link in here when it's up, but I'd double check with Ettin.

Linking to an SA Mart thread is probably the best way to do it!

Pratchett lost the ability to touch-type to Alzheimer's and ended up dictating his later work to his assistant Rob Wilkins instead, which is probably part of why they come across as monologues. I enjoyed Raising Steam for what it is. :v:

I never got around to reading any of the Aching books past The Wee Free Men though. I probably should.

Witches are presented as far better at medicine than anyone available in AM (wizards are worthless at it and doctors in general are presented as usually worse than no assistance at all).

To be fair, Dr Lawn is pretty good. By the later books other doctors are starting to learn from him, so medicine is probably modernising like everything else was at the end. :goonsay:

Fake edit: I can never remember all the IRC and Discord channels TG generates... is there any reason they're not just in a stickied post?

I'd make a post but listing two Discords is weird. IRC is a little more complicated because there are a ton of different rooms for different games and purposes, but most of them are on SynIRC I think.

Yup. Every nominee has to send the judges physical products if they exist, regardless of where the judge lives or how much shipping costs. If the judge drops out, they get to keep the books.

FWIW, to my knowledge this was changed a few years ago and now physical copies are optional.
