I've had this rant elsewhere, regarding adaptations from one media to another. See Netflix's Witcher series vs The Last of Us.

If he has it statted up, I'd love to see how it compares.

I've been thinking about how to model the Green Destiny from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (and it's sequel, Sword of Destiny) in RBRB. It's a jian, so that's the obvious place to start. However, at several points throughout the movie, it's described as fast, so I'm thinking it'd be...

Prepare to be disappointed! I started writing it up on paper before switching over to Homebrewery, but I've lost the Homebrewery file (which had more progress than my handwritten notes), so what follows is my half-formed thoughts from the time. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d6 per level HP at 1st...

Ah, yes, the Abu Salim special.

Sounds like a standard Sabbat pack.

I will say, it certainly seems to be the BitD version of a munchkin. One small caveat to that: flashbacks. The GM is the one who decides the stress cost of a given flashback, based on plausibility, essentially. This a pet peeve of mine from Blades players. The book specifies "out of the...

Laughs in British politics.

Have you tried V:TM V5? The way you talk about Masquerade, it sounds like you haven't. If that's the case, it draws inspiration from Requiem, bringing in the touchstones (though limited to mortals only) as a means for Kindred to maintain their humanity. Gone are the Paths of What I Would Have...

I'm trying to avoid too much thread drift (though that seems to be de jure here), but I enjoyed Reign of Assassins, and I think it's good inspiration for a wuxia RPG campaign. I'd also throw in Sword of Destiny too. It's a terrible sequel to Crouching Tiger, but it's a great standalone wuxia film.

So, it is absolutely a rule incentive in that vein. To explain, it is probably better to work backwards. There are four XP triggers: When you make a desperate action roll. Your playbook-specific xp trigger. For example, the Cutter’s is “Address a challenge with violence or coercion.” You...

It is, yeah. It's more prevalent on the BitD subreddit, often brought up in response to (GMs complaining about) new players being cautious in avoiding trauma. It also came up from time to time on the old G+ community.

I think it's incredibly unlikely that CR swap to Daggerheart for their main campaign. The question is not whether they will lose viewers doing so - they will - the question is how many? What tends to get overlooked in the various Daggerheart vs D&D discussions is that the CR viewership has a...

I only really started watching wuxia with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (like oh so many Westerners, I expect), so I'm only really familiar with the modern wire-fu films. Yeah, I kinda consider wuxia films - I guess especially the older stuff - to basically be the Chinese equivalent of the Ray...

So, I picked up Righteous Blood, Ruthless Blades back at the tail end of covid, but never got it to the table (physical or virtual). Has anyone played it? How did you find it? What have you done with it? As I understand it, RBRB is derived from Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate, as is Strange Tales...

That emphasis on characters and sects is what I was focussed on, coupled with your talk about running mafia campaigns (and what is Vampire if not a supernatural mafia game?), led me to perhaps assume there was slightly more overlap with my own style than is necessarily accurate. I must admit, I...

Broadly speaking, yes. Though a lot of elements that originated on the Forge morph due to imprecise usage in the broader RPG community (such as the exasperating conflation of Narrativist with narrative). I don't doubt. Though I would point out that I did mention my observations were from...

I'm aware, and I noted the map in question makes it the length of a bus. But based on D&D's 5ft square grid, it's occupancy is more like a people carrier in function.

Now that you mention it, I can't recall one either. I've always treated them like a gondola, though.

I agree with multiple types of skycoach for different functions, but I'd treat the one in question like a people carrier/MPV.
