I think humans don't have a default connection to a magic source, but they can all forge their own connection. The problem is that this is very hard and dark magic was discovered first, so everyone went for that route and assumed there was no other. I haven't seen the whole series though, so...

D&D emulates one thing well and one thing only. D&D. While that is a very broad and pretty flexible situation, it cannot be expected to be all things for all settings. Cortex feels like a good fit. It is modular enough to be re-built for a number of setting styles without losing the core...

Doomseekers (Slayers) sound REALLY fun too. Their core Talent is the Doom Oath. When a Doomseeker is at zero toughness, their damage is doubled. Walking around at zero toughness means they will be making Death Tests pretty often and anything that is better vs a Wounded target is going to be...

As a more specific example, somebody with Mind 1 and Ballistic Skill 3 has an Average Accuracy. Against somebody with an Average Defense they need to roll 4+. Somebody with a Mind 3 and a Ballistic Skill 3 has a Good Accuracy and against somebody with an Average Defense they need to roll a 3+...

This is mostly a classless game. You have a starting pool of XP to spend on attributes and skills and the example Archetypes are only frameworks that suggest how you can spend those points. And this isn't a situation where there are build points with different values than advancement points...

I believe so, yes. Others have received an update email for their Ulisses purchase and the Core rules are certainly Cubicle 7 (just purchased it myself, no pre-order).

The PDF on DrivethruRPG has been updated. You do not have to pre-order the physical book to get a copy.

The answer is barely at all. Oddly enough the voulge is featured at the same part, which was hilarious after all the differences. Fun deliveries too, nice work.

Curious and not in a place to watch... How closely dies it match Order if the Stick's version?

The connections are going to do a lot to make Mystic characters from feeling too much like bog standard clerics, I think. From the Paizo blog on the topic, "The mystic selects from the akashic, empath, healer, mindbreaker, overlord, or star shaman connection, which grant powers ranging from...

I am a big fan of Fantasy Craft skills, along with their classes and feats. Acrobatics (Dex), Athletics (Str), Blend (cha, social stealth), crafting, disguise, haggle (wis), Impress (cha), Intimidate (cha), Investigate (wis), Medicine (Int), Notice(Wis) Prestidigitation (Dex, Should be slight...

I've been pretty happy with 4e so far. I've liked every preview. I love SWSE. I've rolled my eyes at some of the marketing, but hey... at least they were enthusiastic. Then I read the books a bit and all joy and anticipation was sucked out of me. 4e is my Gray Waste of roleplaying. Sure...

I see the point of most of that post except for this part. From everything I've ever understood... if Cthulu were ever to be a direct problem for more than a few minutes at a time then humanity has much bigger issues than whether we can hold our own in combat. Cthulu mainly sends maddening...

Why not? It is the state of the world. Mankind is using sciences that are so alien that psychiatry needs a new branch to deal with the mental stress. Humans are increasingly exposing themselves to supernatural forces that would have been horrifying in Lovecraft's day and they are getting used...

It can be. Very much can be. In Lovecraft's day the Mythos was a terror because it was unknown, antagonistic and hostile. In the time of Cthulutech it is a terror because we are becoming a new independent race and might be losing bits of what makes us human inch by inch. "Then mankind would...

Just like T'Skrang. The females bear eggs and the males bear milk and tend the young.

Just to further muddy the waters a bit... Rajah in Eberron refers to a type of near divine fiendish overlord, not a rakshasa subtype. Sure, the natural form of a rajah CAN look like that, but it is just as likely to look like Demogorgon or Pazuzu or any number of demon princes or devil lords.

Probably not. Maybe you could have done something like this back in the early days of the race, but these days quori spirits are too diffuse to be a real force. They used to be able to directly speak to the kalashtar in their lineage, but these days there is just a general tendency towards law...
