Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Same, mostly. We ran two of the adventures from Day One, and then one of my players decided he didn't like how your character could arbitrarily completely change. I tried explaining that it was a special thing with these adventures (where you start playing an Ord but likely will have a Moment of Crisis pretty soon, which sometimes just makes you cooler but in other cases changes you pretty radically if you transform at the same time) but he had already made up his mind.

In retrospect, I think T:E might have overdone the bleakness just a little bit, with both the Cyberpapacy, Pan-Pacifica, and Orrorsh, as well as parts of Tharkold, being really oppressive cosms.

Well, by the standards of the old versions, at least three of those pretty much were. The only reasons some of the others weren't was that their World Laws made it hard to really bolt down everything.
 

I think Masterbook recognized some of this at least, with TORG's Dexterity being split into Dexterity for precision and Agility for whole-body stuff. At least that's a mild nerf to ranged, as it means they use different defensive and offensive stats.

Its been so long I'd forgotten they'd done that, to tell the truth. That is the other approach; break out the attributes into more and offload some of the work into others.
 

TORG always seemed like a really cool idea to me in theory, but I never got into it. Playing cavemen and giant stompy robots in the same party always seemed like a nightmare to balance out...

It was less so than you'd think, because the cavemen had the advantage they weren't going to do much to disconnect where it was a risk almost everywhere for the giant robots...

At some point, you should try a non-tomato sauce/spread. A good olive oil is nice. You could also purée some roasted garlic cloves* and spread that on there.




* For example:

I do! Sometimes a white sauce or olive oil and salt is just what I want. :)

I'm lucky, I have 4 really good pizza places within a short drive of me. And they all do various sauce/topping combos. I'm told there's even some that have pineapple as an option.

When you have a boosted DEX, you risk disconnection with most of the stuff that you do in combat. I eventually learned that it made more sense to burn a Possibility on a Reality Bubble right off the bat, as it would save me several down the road.
