I thought Awakening and Emerging in Shadowrun was a complete crapshoot. Like in theory the magic mice thing could work but have fun funneling through 20,000 specimens to get a magic one. And breeding is right out because like all science magic says gently caress you to genetics and just touches whatever it wants.

So if you're rendered unpopular the answer is to become a drug addict? Why am I not playing this game?

Kwyndig posted:Yeah at least Dark Sun got around that by having common weapons not made of money. It also made for hilarious campaigns when the Fighter got their hands on a steel sword/set of armor and the campaign turned into "Every chump bandit for a hundred miles is hunting you because you're wearing a money suit."

Now I want to run a campaign featuring Dwarves who have emptied the gold veins in their mountain. Now they simply write runes on scrolls. The great Sage sits in the heart of the mountain, granting audiences with Dwarves to reject or accept their scrolls. The great forest around the mountain has been reduced to half its size. The stench of the paper mills reaches for miles around. Dwarven banks, once safe from everything short of a dragon attack, now close every other week amid claims of Gnomes hacking through the stone walls and stealing entire vaults of scrolls.

PbtA games also usually play out like this: (players are obviously role-playing sexual tension/hella flirting) MC: So I'm gonna stop us here. Player A, are you trying to trigger Martin's Sex move? Player A: If B gives me the green light. MC: Player B? Player B: Cool. MC: *Explains consequences of conflicting Sex Moves and marks resources/whatever* I think the only elfgamers I know that play out the sex are a weird kink group anyway.

Serf posted:Okay, but what about the things I mentioned? AoOs, cover and concealment, the size of spell effects (the GM has to track them too, not just players), ranges for ranged attacks etc. If you ignore all of that then what is really left of the combat engine?

Bruce Lee was also big into Education and philosophy, and it influenced his approach to martial arts. Those rolls could be used to be literal Bruce Lee.

Arenaland canb be a fun skel campaign if you start thinking of death like a necromancer. Dead in the tournament isn't dead. Dead humans become zombies and bashed zombies become skeletons. There's an entire losers bracket of undead. Should a mindless undead manage to kill 3 competitors they're ressurected per their contract. Sprinkle in some super anachronistic NPCs as people that spent decades in the losers bracket before getting their third kill. The Archer champion is a Halfling with a sling staff or overdraw bow. He's a fan favorite because that weapon went out of style like 100 years ago and now it's a cool gimmick. The Naval Challenge League features a team captain who was in Losers Bracket so long that she refers to countries and islands that don't even exist anymore. Also if you're doing arenas go full Roman with simulated sea battles, dudes with sharp sticks fighting giant wyrms, etc.

Doresh posted:I'm suddenly imagining a society of dwarves / vikings (dwarf vikings?) who party hard all the time and therefore have never figured out that alcohol makes you drunk. Some goon in TG posited that the ubiquity of Dwarf abilities like Cast Iron Stomach means that Dwarves probably can't get drunk. Dwarves are in a Forever War with the God of Brewing. They waste as much liquor as possible via drinking as revenge because in the First Age they got too rowdy and the God of Booze cut the entire race off. They've been pissed off and hungover since.

PMush Perfect posted:I would play the gently caress out of that campaign. Goon made Chroma Chronicles was still in development when I looked last. It features the Trainer, a class where the combat role isn't fulfilled by the PC but by a buddy creature that you generate at Character Creation, essentially Ash or the Digidestined. You can also be Sailor Moon or Goku. starglitchgames.tumblr.com

Yeah can corroborate that most security is poo poo around delivery guys. Post 911 the department of Homeland Security liked to check our local government building's readiness level. They would occasionally slip a driver from a local vendor 50 bucks, hide in the furniture truck/some container on a flatbed, and "kill" the guards by having another inspector roll up in a marked car and declaring that if this were real poo poo the building would now belong to terrorists. It worked literally every time.

Most Archer Rangers are styled after hunters so Archery Style for them is more likely to be "Shoot you in the kidney with a detachable head, wait 10 minutes for you to bleed out a mile down the trail." More than volley tactics anyhow.

Plot Twist: CastR is actually run by the Demon Lord of Gold and Blood. After displacing the established network of magic and the related regulatory body(The Circle of Magi) he introduces Surge Pricing. Instead of a jeweled bowl worth 1000g Heroes Feast is a series of 15 customizable microspells that cost between 75 and 250 gp.
