Alien Rope Burn posted:Even just 2D-based vector movement in a TT game gets really ugly, much less 3D- I've seen several games do it but I can't think of one that did it gracefully. It's a gimmick that's best abstracted unless your name completely centers around it. Fragged Empire?

Nuns with Guns posted:Dancey left Goblinworks to go back to AEG. Lisa Stevens had some consultant come assess the disaster. The consultant told her to finish the game in-house because nobody would want to buy it from them. I think their dev team was reported to be like 5 or less people at this point. The consultant also gave them some optimistic line about how the finished game might find a tiny niche to sustain itself in. Another Ryan Dancey success story!

paradoxGentleman posted:So I've heard that Rose Bailey left Onyx Path. I understand it was because she found better career opportunities, but still, a bit of a shame. They've said she'll still be involved as a freelancer and on stuff like Cavaliers of Mars, which is her game like Pugmire is Eddy Webb's. They hired on two other folks full-time when she left, but they likely are not as cool as Rose is.

There has been a tremendous effort to show respect and deference to the original cultures that worshipped or currently worship these gods. IIRC this has resulted in the Hindu gods being one of the bigger holdups, to make sure they were done just right. It also means the Egyptian gods are using their Egyptian names rather than the Greek ones we mostly know them by.

Dave Brookshaw posted:It was a nightmare for the Egyptian gods, let alone the Hindu ones - Egyptian religion has all the stable canon of a long-running comic book franchise. Yeah, there’s like three or four different versions of the Death of Osiris myth cycle, iirc? I liked your take on Bast-Bastet-Sekhmet, too.

Paolomania posted:My issue with mark-like mechanics in table top is independent of system or version. They are all lame hacks for a lack of a proper “get in the way to protect the party” mechanic. There are many ways to implement such a thing. AoOs were the initial lame attempt that failed because the cost of eating an attack to charge the caster wasn’t much of a deterrent and AoO trip/grapple wasn’t very reliable. The various intercepts were better but way too situational and limited, not to mention requiring feat taxes. Do you know where the term ‘marking’ comes from, and in what context it is used in the real world?

There have been three - three - D&D movies. Of them, the second one is actually serviceable as a fantasy movie, and the first would be fine as a goofball dumb comedy if you could overlay an audio track of an actual gaming table. The third one, uh, exists.

Liquid Communism posted:Honestly, a dungeon crawl as a movie would probably sell if you were to actually pay someone with some modicum of skill to write it. Set it in the Realms, cameo Elminster, call it good enough. Focus on making a fun fantasy action movie more than a series of lovely injokes. The second D&D movie is basically this, but without Elminster. It didn’t sell due to poor marketing, but it was decent enough.

Warthur posted:The mod taking action was Levi, who has always struck me as being so conflict-averse that if he could persuade everyone to sign a "no disagreements ever" waiver as the price of entry he'd do it. Yeah, this was a definite bad call by a mod whose reasoning seemed to be 'people are negative about this, therefore we must never talk about it.'

Side note, if you think the big issue with Myfarog is 'it's not very good' as opposed to 'it is written by a literal Nazi and murderer' you got some problems.

Plutonis posted:I actually think a man who has de facto stabbed someone to death and has a deep knowledge of Paganistic Asatru in theory is the best person to write a Viking TRPG from personal experience, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case with MyFarog. See, you'd think that, but it turns out that racist Nazis are actually incredibly bad at Norse paganism and don't know the lore because they keep twisting it to try and fit their beliefs! also, they're nazis

Larry Correia was a guest of honor for Origins, then uninvited a few hours later after a bunch of folks emailed to complain. The head of the con said he had had no idea about Correia’s politics and awfulness. I actually believe this, mainly because Origins is consistently a mess on the management end, year after year, and are legit so incompetent at times that I can accept them living under rocks in sci fi/fantasy fandom.

ravenkult posted:Harper has done a lot of work for a lot of people for free IMO, so it's not so much ''for exposure'' as it is personal relationships and favors traded. This is probably not a good way to run a KS, but I don't think he should be painted as the kind of dude who doesn't pay workers. He shouldn't have, is the thing. Work has value, and working for free's a good way to keep people from wanting pay you for your work, because you clearly work for free, and so should others.
