In Vampire as written, combat is a failure condition. As others have noted, you can step around it by employing another system, but you do need to work some thought into the powers because dots in a discipline let you do things and set boundaries on those things in V5. It's not just a raw...

Mine fields in space.

I can agree with this. It could have been handled better. It wasn't. I'm not saying that Tim Brown and Troy Baker intended to be offensive... though I find it hard to believe that people who were professional authors in 1991 who had been working in the business since the 80s would not...

They're a mixed race people called mules. Them being bred for hybrid vigor for increased work productivity and entertainment while not allowed to breed of their own volition is a further degradation.

No Klingon clerics... ever.

Same feeling. It tries to sell itself as smooth but it ends up being crunchy. Its like they labeled the jar of peanut butter wrong. The problem I have at times with SW as a tabletop game is that the different character types really don't play together. It's not a balanced story. It can't be...

This is before you even get to all the connotations behind the Muls.

Whomever successfully writes up the rules to Calvin Ball can do it.

Realize that your post was a couple of years ago, but Sembia, Dragon Reach, and southern Lake of Dragons were off limits at the time for development. They were intended to be zones for the public. Raven's Bluff/Living City/the Vast was for the RPGA campaigns. It was kind of a big deal for...

They're opting out now by not posting their work anywhere, unfortunately. I can't blame them. The larger digital art repos have done nothing to block or meter the very obvious traffic from the scraping engines. Some folks are pulling down their stuff. Some are salting their stuff with...

Depends on the resource and context. Unless I intend to emphasize survivalism, crafting, or "a person out of time" scenario, I am not counting your bullets, arrows, spell components (unless the spell component is intended as a clear balancing measure for the spell) or things which I...

Need sage advice. I don't know if either INT or WIS is the appropriate ability for a gaslighting check.

I use it for some inspiration and ideas, but not as far as adaptation. I like reading it, though.

I don't do funny voices. Ever. Not even if I can do the accent/voice. If I am pressed, I will make the dwarves sound like they're from Pittsburg and the elves sound like they're from Minnesota, because once I am personally annoyed, I will start breaking verisimilitude. I sometimes prepare...
