Watched it. Landis was right, this was his Star Wars. Indeed it's as good as the Last Jedi and Revenge of the Sith.

The thread of prophecy was severed when Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was captured in Naples and thus failed to prevent Napoleon from becoming emperor. We must now suffer and die in a doomed universe.

My FLGS owner might be the dumbest mother fucker on the planet. I have no idea how this mother fucker's been in business still after four years.

It's likely that it's because his customers are dumber mother fuckers than him.

They do, but that´s mostly because trpg-nerds are bad at bows. And also because we have totally distorted images of archers. It´s not like the people being best at bowyering were lanky mofos, but the buff military people who could pull back an 80-pound-bow to survive the storm of frenchman in mail and plate running at them at 300 paces distance.

Yeah I read Bernard Cornwell books too

I don't really care about the realism of archery (though it is cool) I just want to be an acrobatic flippy arrow shooty guy

Play FFD6 where Rangers have an ability that lets them shoot every enemy at the same time or do four attacks that deal half damage in one turn or Exalted where you can shoot an arrow on the sky and have it fall as a giant fireball of death the next turn

The real tragedy is that while there is actually a lot of systems that let you be a cool longbowman or even a crossbowman on foot there are few ones that let you be the true terror of the battlefield: The Steppe Horse Archer

Couldn't a point feat system work if it was made like in uhh a lot of videogames that let you customize the poo poo out of your characters AND have point costs to buy crap?

Furyan and they look like normal humans but have enhanced strength and senses... Perhaps a reason why they were feared by the Necromonger Empire...!

One of the things I dislike about Strike is that players end up arguing that they should just roll before deciding what skill they use, or if an action is in their skill’s remit, because 2/3rds of the time it won’t matter.

I brought up skills ten times total in the 20+ session campaign I gmed so that problem was circumvented :cheers:

I sometimes wonder about what an RPG system would be like where you defined your character by weaknesses, not strengths. That way you’d be forced to consider what challenges you wanted to play right at chargen.

“Ok, roll your Weakness, Clumsiness, Frailty, Stupidity, Naivite and Awkwardness in order...”

PDQ has flaws
