Cannot WAIT for this book and Divine Mysteries.

You'd probably love CASE & SOUL by Briar Sovereign and Bloodstone by Matteo Sciutteri - great explorations on trimmed down FitD.

Also, this thread sure is 80 pages of arguing over if it's good or bad to know AC numbers or not which is kind of not remotely relevant to the actual OP of the thread.

As a cast member on a podcast I listen to once said, "breaking your hand in Call of Cthulhu has way more impact on the game than dying in Dungeons in Dragons does". 4e had "bloodied" as a mechanic, where a variety of abilities and whatnot would activate when you or the target were below 50% HP...

If you feel like you're being railroaded, talk to your GM about it. Presumably, given this GM is presumably a friend, you will be able to talk about it like mature adults.

Yeah dude, I've read plenty of books on game studies. Certainly none of them care about the dictionary definition of the word, lol.

Regarding ghouls: they're more in-tune with Lovecraft's ghouls, which DnD ghouls are also based on but clearly went in a different path with.

Also: immersion exists only as an internal sensation with no defined definition. It is impossible for a game rule, or anything at all, to inherently encourage or discourage immersion. You either experience it or you don't, and you may engage with certain rules in a way that promotes it within...

some of you truly need to read any game not in the dnd lineage. not even play, just read and comprehend any other framework that isn't built around "what's the number i need to roll to to hit this goblin"

Check out Armour Astir: Advent or Songs for the Dusk - both games blend science fiction and fantasy in fun ways (Armour Astir being a high fantasy game of mechs and revolution, and Songs for the Dusk being a science fantasy game about developing a community amidst the threats of the...

Giving a big ol' anti-recommend to d20pfsrd. The dude running the site mixes in 3rd party stuff with official, makes up his own stuff and puts it in options lists, shoved the classes from Occult Mysteries in the "alternate rulesets" tab with a bunch of 3rd party books because he doesn't like...

Most good games out there are like 10-20 bucks. No force on earth will make me spend 150 dollars on entertainment, even if I end up being the one to buy games that I wanna check out.

It's always funny when people are like "humanity is inherently evil and doomed!" and just cite the values of capitalism as their evidence and assume capitalism is somehow inherent to humans. There was already a way to make stock video, it's called "record some video". No reason to also hand...

Just backed Guillotine on Kickstarter and bought a 5 buck bundle cuz it had some stuff I wanted.

And how does making a video do that?

So cool to have a leap forward in a technology that consumes disgusting amounts of resources to operate, is powered by plagiarism, and whose only conceivable applications are to either scam people or to make extremely illegal pornography.

Right, but nobody's talking about that? The story that happens during is built on what the players do in it. I'm asking what you mean by that not being story - do you think when peopel talk about making stories they're like, prewriting everything their characters do and then all share it? I'm...

Well, as they say, "watch and information will be revealed". You can also just go read the manga- i t's gorgeous. Also, it never gets less "Delicious" - this is a story about food, and consumption, and desire, and hunger, and the fact that everything you will ever eat was once alive.

That's the same thing, though? Everything that happens in play is definitionally part of the story.

It's certainly good to get reinforcement of the belief that he doesn't know a damn thing about nothing.
