Star Frontiers. Including the Yazirians...

Sure, if the rules allow it, you can gain powers solely by faith in yourself or an idea, or love, etc. But I believe (pun intended) the underlying issue, is that taking deities (or other powerful supernatural beings) with expectations regarding your behavior, duties, or obligations out of the...

Yep.

It just seems another opportunity for power creep. I don't believe another system is needed.

No personal picture, but I had this today. It was really good. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/34657/120997/

It's alive. It's ALIVE!

The rumors of D&D's mothballing are greatly exaggerated.. OT: It will be interesting to see what direction WoTC goes if the VTT doesn't provide the level of monetization that they are hoping for.

Mundane. In 1E they made up for their lack of magic by being able to wield +5 magical talking swords. While magic users had to deal with high magic resistance monsters. Seemed to work out fine.

It's not dubious. It's a reasonable limitation based on fundamental physics/body mechanics. ...But it is a fantasy game where anything goes, so I guess it depends on where you personally draw the line at the suspension of disbelief.

This is an interesting, but I think going from the other direction would also make sense. For example, a 3 foot tall humanoid should have a maximum (unaided) STR score. Now that I think of it, I may need to move this to the unpopular opinions thread...

Adversarial NPC's should be built stronger than the PC's. Otherwise the PC's will steamroll/curb stomp them.

I'd be interested in seeing the advertising $$ spent on each to get a sales to revenue ratio.

Deities and Demigods, 1st edition. It introduced me to the Cthulhu mythos. After a while it started falling apart, so I tossed it.

Yep, this. I was on a board years ago that listed necro'ing a thread as bannable offense in the rules. Problem was, they didn't provide any time frame as to what they considered necro.

Yea, I wasn't looking for a definitive answer, I was just asking for opinions.

20 is fine with me.

I'm not sure why this thread is getting snarky responses. Is there some issue with this question? I don't see what's so hard about providing a simple (real) opinion

So long, and thanks for all the fish... But really, can you contribute anything other than a snarky reply?
