Ettin posted:Apparently it was because I blocked Jeff Rients on Twitter a few days ago, which I kinda forgot about until I looked that up. This is funny since Jeff just riled up the alt-right OSR brigade by daring to suggest on his blog that James Raggi shouldn’t be hanging around for Jordan Peterson.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I'd be pretty curious to hear more about Unity RPG as a 4e successor - I remember it came out but even the pdf was expensive and I didn't see many impressions here of the released product. I bought it and it’s a true 4e-inspired fantasy heartbreaker, imo. The power system seems built around specializing in 1-2 tricks and spamming them early and often until you run out of mojo points and have to resort to at-wills until you randomly trigger your point recharge. The combat system includes opportunity attacks against movement in melee, but every class has a lot of fiddly ways to avoid/mitigate them to the point to where you might as well remove them. There’s also very little in the way of forced movement or zones of control. Powers are almost all straight damage with riders of buffs/debuffs to damage, accuracy, or defense. Overall it looks like it could use another balance pass or two from playtesting. This is all just from my casual reading - it could play better than it looks.

Hyphz’s posts are just a campaign by Lowtax to get us to pay for a forums account but never use it, sparing him the bandwidth costs.

Nuns with Guns posted:It looks like he changed references to her name in the articles series itself, but decided to leave the weird post where he first declared "Actually, it is good to not do this for archival purposes!" up without an addendum noting he realized how loving lovely he was being. If you read the comments, he makes the changes only because Jacquays comes and asks him to directly.

Raistlin was the late 80s paperback version of Sephiroth. If MMOs has come out before FF7, all the angsty teens playing on their parents credit card would have handles like Raistlin420.

Stores are the customers and manufacturers are the vendor for distributors. Basically, LGS can't pay distributors for product and that's locking things up the whole chain

What's funny is that alignment in the Chainmail wargame that D&D grew from was basically just a red jersey/blue jersey situation for Law and Chaos without much metaphysical or philosophical bullshit. Gygax took that and intentionally made it worse!

Speaking of which, anyone have good recommendations for African mythology media? Preferably stuff for layfolks since I want this to be an outlet/escape from Pandemic Life and not something to write a dissertation from.

Jimbozig posted:Yes, of course! You should absolutely be able to play whoever in an RPG. I think the issue is that Critical Role organically grew into what it is now from a group of pals doing an AP as a hobby. AFAIK, the core group was never "cast" in any traditional sense.

IMO, part of Magic’s success was that it didn’t try to setup original IP at the start. It was just generic high fantasy with hints of some characters in the background.

Ultiville posted:I dunno, I always thought one really fun D&D 4E campaign would be combat-as-sport set in a logical-conclusion-of-D&D-magic utopia where everyone has access to magical healing and revival (or death prevention or whatever you prefer) such that you're a bunch of consenting beings fighting no-holds-barred in a dungeon who all get patched up and have drinks after. That seems minimally problematic to me. Though maybe you're talking about the problematic aspects of "I specifically want to enjoy that I am killing these other intelligent creatures," in which case, agreed, that is going to be a problematic thing to actively enjoy even if those creatures are deserving, though I think there's a complicated discussion to be had about how able we are to change problematic aspects of ourselves vs finding outlets for them that aren't damaging to anyone, and D&D-as-murder-simulator plays into that. It’s all fun and games until you’re last picked for your dungeonball team
