that is the point, yes

If your character concept is that you're a halfling or a gnome that is the strongest warrior in the universe and you're upset that the rules don't let you, the rules are not the problem.

Man, I used to dream of getting in on the black market cheese trade. Never dreamed of eating the stuff.

Your favorite cheese sucks, too.

I'm 43 and permanently disabled-- it's a laundry list-- so my efforts for the past 15-20 years or so have been directed more at starting a career (in the gaming industry) than getting ready to end one. Some of my regular players are also disabled and/or retired, but they also have busy family...

I'd say that I prefer something in the range of competent to... well, way, way beyond "hero". Like, starting out in the general area of the first couple of seasons of Avatar, and progressing gently through most Chinese fantasy TV into Dragonball Z territory and... onwards.

I very much like the idea of pairing the traditional... traditions (the Arcane Schools) with archetypes like the Bladesinger and the Warmage. In my current game, I'm pairing them with (upgunned) Warlock pact boons (not patrons) for much the same effect; this is mirrored by the wu jen combining a...

Make Mine MHR, but I've played around with Marvel Saga, Mutants & Masterminds, and EN World's own Four Color to Fantasy. I've determined that my usual preferences notwithstanding, when it comes to superheroes, I want a narrative-based system where superpowers do only "what they're supposed to...

This, really really this, but I'd suggest that it's not that every mod or every combination of mods is rigorously playtested-- they're not-- it's just that every mechanic is made of the same parts as every other mechanic. The scale of traits is always between 1d4 and Xd12, the number of traits...

Okay, so. Yes, when you're planning on running a Cortex game, you're not really thinking of running any Cortex game. You're either thinking of running one of the pre-published implementations-- I cut my teeth on Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, but I've played... one of the Firefly games... and a few...

Unlimited 10-15 minute short rests, but tie even magical healing to hit dice so the coffeelock can't just take a level in bandaid.

Catering? The Filet O'Fish is cheaper than the standard Quarter Pounder with Cheese. The Double Filet O'Fish they serve during Lent is more expensive than the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

Seriously? I love the Filet O'Fish. Make mine doubles.

Jollibee. Ain't one within a day trip radius of where I live... but damned if I don't find any excuse to vacation in places that have them.

Really? Because I keep hearing people say this, but I've had German sausage and, in my personal opinion, it's the wurst. I always do, because it's a small sidebar to everyone sitting down at the table and rolling their characters together. A lot of people would be surprised at how many...

I feel like I work pretty well as an ambush predator, but somewhat less so as an ambushed predator. If I can get in close, I could pretty reasonably command the attention of one side of the ambush or the other. Might not go so well for me, but K would consider it her best option for getting...

I am generally not well disposed to metanarrative and/or author stance games (like Fate Core or Cortex Prime) but one thing I really admire about them is their ability to make ephemeral qualities of PCs and NPCs-- like their motivations and beliefs-- mechanically relevant in game. It's not as...

This works for me. I just got my main office computer back, so that side of the equation is taken care of, at least.

I'm having serious problems with both my hardware and my wetware. I'm not going to be able to play any more actively than I have been already... for which I apologize. I was really looking forward to this game, and I wish I were more capable of keeping up with it. Again, I'm sorry.

Kachilk'cha wavered for seconds-- an eternity to her insectile reflexes-- before scooping up a sample and stoppering the vial. She wrapped the vial in bandages before stuffing it into a larger specimen jar, and then wrapped that jar in bandages. She'd consumed the contents of an entire healer's...
