I read this as "let's make catnip magic items" which that piqued my interest... imagine my disappointment. ;) (I kid! No disappointment at all... and when I get home and can access it I ought to be able to share at least one that I made for my current campaign.)

Lost city of bioelectric wonders. CEO's greed leads to self-immolation.

This pleases both the punster and the architect in me. :D

Fair enough -- and a power point system might well fit better with most media when it comes to how wizards operate. However, from my D&D Vancian casting perspective and experience, with its discrete slots and fixed spells and the like, it doesn't tie into personal stamina so much as it ties...

I haven't watched it recently, but what I remember from way back when was that the first season was very rough. Even worse in the pilot, where the main themes and nuances weren't fully worked out (and as such it was more caricatures than characters and characterization of the different...

For me, I would boil it down to two biggies: 1 - A focus on abilities that are "traditionally associated" (recognizing that this is at least partially my experience/bias of what is traditionally associated) with psionics: Telekinetic effects, Telepathy/Mind Affecting Powers, Personal Body...

Nice! Have the "natural language description" models gotten to the point where they'd understand something like "with a bit of" or "with a touch of Iron Man" in order to nudge it slightly? Or is it still much of a world of "if you mention it, it's there in spades"?

Interesting; the games we've played/run have used Approaches, so perhaps that is why we've seen a lot less repetition. Or, at least, when we do see repetition (if someone is trying to use their higher ranked Approach) it engenders creativity for how to get there. That said, we've also had a...

That bit about Anime poses and overall scene composition is a good point! A bit of weighting/influence to have it engage in that aspect w/o going into the aesthetics/style could be really fruitful.

Nice! This looks a lot less MJ than a lot of the MJ creations I'd seen before. The lightning is surprisingly coherent too.

Interesting! 1) and 2) has not come up for us in our games. 2) I think has been aided by use of Challenges and Contests and Tests and all the like, plus ensuring scene setup is different and diverse (and often including a Scene Distinction). 1) might be influenced by what prime sets are...

It's clearly a AI picture of an AI driving a car! Another case of the AIs being all boastful and being like, "Oh we can do it all! We can paint, we can drive... and maybe we'll just let that dino eat your squishy little annoying selves so we can be rid of you and take over the world...

If I may go a bit tangentially from the thread topic, I invite us all to step away from repeating this mantra. Because the purpose of a company is to produce a good or service that is of value to the community while earning those who provide that good or service a decent living. And I get why...

Funnily enough, or maybe because my first RPG was a d100 based system (Top Secret), I totally am fine with roll low when using a percentile-based ruleset. 66% chance? Roll 66 or less? No problem! Anything else though -- d6, d20, whatever -- and the aversion bites me hard as well. Actually...

That Cortex Prime is a toolbox does, unfortunately, mean it has a high bar to entry. Having to build your RPG system from the kit of parts before you can start playing is not only a bunch of work, but a chicken and egg kind of situation: if you've never played how are you supposed to know...

I can't say I've never houseruled early -- mostly in my youth -- but generally even if I scrunch my nose reading something in a book I will give it a whirl for at least a few sessions to see how it runs at the table and to see if my initial takes/concerns hold and whether the thing does indeed...

Failed rolls induce daring rescue.

I've always got to give a thumbs up for covers featuring centaurs! :)

Hmm, wonder if Heavy Gear by DP9 would have a place on this list, for it's graphic layout, styling, and artwork. At a time when "two column with an image here or there" was the norm, it came out of the gate with not only a plethora of art but also with strong graphic design where every element...

Aye, that was clear to me that's where your question was leading and also what your previous responses in this thread was indicating. All of which is your (and Lanefan's) prerogative, of course. :)
