I don’t know all of these references but I see Conan as mundanely exceptional. His backstory covers him becoming so, but he bleeds and makes dumb decisions like any one else. He’s awesome because he perseveres because of luck, wits, and grit even in the face of the fantastical. It’s the...

I’ve got 2 maybe 3 and everytime I decide to take them off as a reset they end up back on in short order.

Agreed. I feel like this product would have to come out tomorrow because the folks who want it are soon heading passed their twilight years even.

My made up ringer merc lance for an upcoming tournament. Im calling them The Blue Suns. Spider, Clint, Quickdraw and Ostsol mechs. The Ostsol had a funny pose with only one point of base cotnact. So, I made a mini hex to make it look like its walking down an incline. Edit: ill get better pics

I dont. I actually prefer (slightly above) average Joe's succeeding through good luck, applying wits, and sheer will. It doesnt bother me if at some point in the game they do become exceptional. Thats end of campaign territory for me.

Sounds like what PF2 did. A solo has defenses so strong that any save or suck is likely in the 20% or lower success chance range. The pros are you have to use lesser spells to alley-opp the fighter and bring the boss down with team work. The downside is obviously your most powerful spells being...

I've held off on Wrath as its an AP I skipped int he PF1 era. I wasnt too keen on mythic rules and its storytelling. Though, ill check it out sometime eventually. Good to know about Rogue Trader wasnt on my radar but it is now.

You are right. I am definitely looking for things that are difficult to convey in a trailer clip. That might end up being a really good call on their part as they wont reveal too much of the storyline as bad trailers often give away.

Despite my first impression, I do love these types of games. I do have a favorable impression of Owlcat after Kingmaker CRPG was very well done. This seems like a different beast though.

I guess I dont see Expanse as generic, but a pretty specific style of sci-fi. Im speaking less of generalities and more of world building identity. Mass Effect for example, sure it has space ships and laser pistols and aliens. Nothing too unique there. Though, the world building and feel of all...

PF1 remains my favorite. I particularly liked the Bard, Witch, and Ranger. Bard and Witch becasue I tend to like support casters alot. Jacks of all trades, master of none has kinda been my jam. I like filling in the missing roles for adventuring parties and being backup in cases of emergency...

Thats not what I said. Why not talk about why you disagree? Why take all the out of context general video game discussion to turn into a winnable argument? Thats entirely unnecessary.

The fact that you consider a discussion on subjective opinion winnable, is yet another example of why its best to not engage any longer. Have a good one.

My PF1 APs ran a lot like serial series of the premium TV era. I definitely leaned in that direction as I prefer it to episodic style of the last century. My current Traveller sand box Pirates of Drinax is moving in the direction of DS9 and B5 in which its a hybrid of serial and episodic. Im...

I think no video game being remotely acceptable is a large stretch. Despite all that it doesn’t feel like the Expanse it feels like generic shooter with expanse skin which is hardly new. It’s all run of the mill is what I’m saying. Skipping the expanse and making it a generic sci-fi shooter...

It still didnt feel very The Expanse to me. 🤷‍♂️

Starts out intriguing but then doesn’t feel right to me. Ship they are fighting on is too huge. Two people against a dozen or more? Should have been in power armor. Looks good graphics wise.

FFG's Android remains one of my favorites. It was ambitious and bold, and perhaps tried to bite off too much to chew. While its mechanics are interesting, it also feels like playing 4 games at once. Then, each character has their own story going on which adds to the complexity. It might sound...

All totally fair, however, is the best way to find out if you like a system or not is to launch a long campaign?
