Good point, and pre-colonization the first nations were masters at waterway travel, with canoes of all types (dugout, bark, skin, kayaks, etc) depending on the region for both the materials available but also the type of waterways to be plied. And for that matter, where in Canada also can have...

Nice! I can totally see, in that typical "humour moment at the end of the episode" way, Postal turning to DC and WW to say, "Well done Joes, we do OK," and then, with no warning or change of expression, falling over and snoring. :D "It made for a funny situation but was ineffective," is a...

Thirding Tribe 8, and seconding Rifts: Canada and Rifts: Quebec. There's also "Champions of the North" for the Champions/HERO game and system. Now that you mention it, the Maritimes and Newfoundland could make for an interesting spot to play, with its water travel and islands allowing for a...

Just noting here that it is a classic DARVO move to begin accusing others of having starting the fire. And that, really, you're just the poor extinguisher trying to save the building.

That is really, really, really unfortunate. :/ I can hope that he didn't see the book and took something he saw from the false-outrage-manufacturers at face value and reflexively responded to that.

0.18% (rounding up) of the book notes that some of the material being lavishly reproduced and celebrated within is discriminatory. With a fairly mild disclaimer that notes it and also doesn't mention any names. The book does not reduce Gary to this one issue. Quite 99.82% to the contrary.

It could be something simple, like such: Fighter – Heavily armored warriors Weaponmaster Tempest Battlerager Arena Fighter Brawler Guardian Slayer Rogue – Agile and cunning strikers Artful Dodger Brutal Scoundrel Cunning Sneak Ruthless Ruffian Swashbuckler Druid – Master of primal magic...

1) Would be a classic. A pair of bog-standard blue cobras blow a hole in the wall, and there's Dr Mindbender, cape flapping on the wind as he stands at the front of the Moray hydrofoil, and they bring everyone onboard and motor away. Cue chase scene. :) (If it's not next to the water...

Aye, funnily enough I was just thinking about this last night as well. 4e ended up with two types of subclasses; one for certain classes like the fighter that got different classes but, more like 1e/2e, were categorized under a "category class" so they could share feats (such as the Fighter...

Hope you get to play for a long time too! :) I'd be keen on reading what further shenanigans your players get up to, and your further impressions of the game, especially what bits of it push its narrative focus.

Totally fair. As noted, I can get overly exuberant about it. :P And Cortex Prime also takes a bit of a mind shift in how you go about playing the game (running it too) compared to d20-like games, so it could be a double hard sell. If the Renegade rules work well enough to keep you all...

Apologies in advance, as there’s no way I can make this short, but I’ll do my best. :P It was an epic moment and one of my top gaming memories (and best die rolls) ever. This was under WEG's D6 engine, and of the official versions I have played (I never did D20, but have tried FFG's) it...

Oh my yes, it is good. It is one of my favourite systems, and if I'm not careful I'll gush about it endlessly. ;) It is geared towards narrative/story heavy play with theatre-of-the-mind action sequences (if the game has action sequences). It's very flexible, and I've run several games in...

To clarify, for me it feels closer to (not the same/identical, but more akin to the feel of) 3.Xe than it does to the feel and experience 4e. As in, if I were to map the feel/experience of PF2e compared to the my feel/experience of 3.X and 4e, it would be like this: 3.X -- PF2 ------ 4e (Also...

Thank you for this write up! I have read the book and while it is very nice looking with some great art pieces the rules system didn't catch my fancy at all. Wasn't sure if I was missing something in my read through, but from your description (which matches my impression) it sounds like not...

Having played both 4e and PF2e, I'll concur that PF2e has a very different feel and plays quite differently than 4e (and 5e, for that matter). For me, characters feel much less capable especially at lower levels*, overall the abilities don't reach the same level of excitement, there are more...

Hmmm, seconding the above or adding to the list, from off the top of my head: Less feats, but more impactful ones. Remove the base/generic +X hit and +X damage and +X defensive feats (most of which were a feat fix for improper math – revised 4e would fix the math). Something like “flail...

Nope. While I love some mechanical differentiation (but by the gods interesting ones, not something like attribute bonuses), if a world has different races/kin/species, then they're gonna have different cultures and histories and views, and RPing one of those is going to make each one different...

As a shame researcher*, she posits that though shame is commonly understood as having a preventative function it doesn't actually function that way. Guilt can have that preventative function, as can "consequences", but with shame being tied with the diminishment of self it often sends people...

To add to this, Brené Brown has some great distinctions between guilt and shame, with (in her view that I subscribe to), the former being a productive driver in our lives, with shame being an unproductive and even deleterious driver. (Put simply, the difference between the two is that guilt...
