Did I say it wasn't common? No. In fact I pointed out that a lot of designers try it out. That doesn't make it a good mechanic. Something that's popular can still be bad. ;)

Yeah, the whole idea of using your own HP as a resource is a really tricky mechanic. I've never seen it actually work well, yet so many people seem to think they're the ones who can finally make it work... :rolleyes: Edit: I think it can work as a desparation mechanic, for example if a magician...

Excuse me? Those are clearly modelled on the Me-109. 🤓😜

Wasn't Manganiello also supposed to take over the kickstarted, but now 12 years delayed, D&D documentary as well? Whatever became of that?

Because the Tolkien Estate made them change some names, and Gary held a grudge forever.

At the high school where I work, the student body used to organize "killer games" until a few years ago. Interestingly, they had no idea there was a published version of rules for this, knowledge of how to play had just spread through word of mouth. Nowadays they've mutated it into a more...

Seems an odd way to describe a book full of NPC stats, but I guess it was useful to some GMs.

I would hope that before you make a purchasing decision, you'd do a little more research than just reading a single marketing blurb. It's not like it's especially hard to suss out what Starfinder is like. And if you're not thinking of buying it, why would you care?
