    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    Well, there is certainly another level to the discussion. Does the player want to take the journey to being exceptional, or do they just want to start after it’s been achieved? I’m of the former mind but do expect to arrive at some point.

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    Yes, mundanely exceptional due to their journeys in life. Not because they are inherently exceptional.

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Thread makes me sad and angry that Target discontinued their brand of flavored sparkling water cherry cola and fake Dr Pepper (which w as spot on) Loved em so much even had a pinch of caffeine

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    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...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    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.

    Where’s The Deathstalker RPG? Part 2

    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.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    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

    Should PCs Be Exceptional?

    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.

    D&D 5E (2024) It Is 2025 And Save Or Suck Spells Still Suck (the fun out of the game)

    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...

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    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.

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    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.

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    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.

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    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...

    D&D General Have Some Class

    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...

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    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.

    Upcoming AAA/AA CRPGs or story-based RPGs (updated 15/04/2025)

    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.

    What Media Format Is Your Preferred Campaign Style?

    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...
