I think the most hosed up thing about all of this is how Fields just kind of shrugs at the ability to permanently brand someone as part of the sex act. gently caress the wrong person, and get a big 'ol red A somewhere on your body.

To Fields, sex is just an extension of the combat rules; i.e., a means of establishing mechanical dominance. :(

Is that really how Fields uses talents? That's really terrible, if so. What made talents special in d20 Modern and Star Wars Saga Edition was that they were basically multiple choice class features, allowing a single class to take multiple roles. Diluting them down into "take this trait thing at first level" is disappointing.

It's just a copy-paste of the "trait" mechanic from Pathfinder. I imagine he just uses a different name because he can't use the Pathfinder Compatibility License on products like that.

It's amusing to see Hengeyokai and Arrows of Indra being done at the same time, because they both fall into a very similar fallacy: adapting real-life mythology to fit an established set of game metaphysics rather than playing to the strengths of the mythology itself.

I don't mean to be a pedant but I think the term that encapsulates what you're talking about is "romantic racism." I'm going to go ahead and call out White Wolf as the undisputed masters of it; as evidence I submit WoD Gypsies, Tradition Book: Akashic Brotherhood, Kindred of the East, Hengeyokai...

Which is too bad, I really like some of the game elements of Kindred of the East or Hengeyokai better than the core games, but they're unable to treat the cultural material well. Of course, with Werewolf's splats as they are, casual racism is kind of hat-in-hand as it is (Fianna, Get of Fenris, Silent Striders, Wendigo, etc.).

Thinking about it I find the choices of subject matter for Werewolf splats generally just... bizarre and random. Feminist werewolves! Hobo werewolves! Irish werewolves!

I actually prefer the diversity of Apocalypse to the homogenized vaguely Native American flavor of Forsaken. In each of the Tribe- and Breed-books, each splat actually has its own origin myth. The werewolves' myths are usually minor variations of the one in the corebook, but the breeds can get really out there. Even though the tribes tend to stereotype, at least there's an acknowledgement of cultural diversity. More tribes also means more cool powers, so that's fun.

If you read the Lodge books for Forsaken, they do a lot to diversify them. Each Lodge has its own variations on their mythology, and some of it it is far more divergent from the core mythology than Apocalypse's tribes generally get (particularly in Lodges: The Splintered).


I'm amused over the absolute disconnect between the cover of NEKKED TATTOO WOMENS WITH KATANAS and what actually awaits for us inside in terms of game material.

It says something about Werewolf that you could call a millennia-old conspiracy that exists to promote rape, child abuse, and human sacrifice "non-overt". The 7th Generation is easily one of the worst parts of Werewolf. It takes issues like child molestation and turns it into the product of mustache-twirling cultists punching babies to charge up their occult coppertops. :(

My big issue with TORG was an issue with how crossing over the worlds worked, where certain PC abilities just stopped working from world to world depending on the metaphysics there. It seemed like the most unfun mechanic, and it's the main reason I never got into it. I don't want to be told I can't be a werewolf during some adventures! Yeesh.

Those latex swords are gorgeous, but they can do a bit of damage - more than any of the above, at least - and they're not particularly safe around eyes. So as far as I know, most LARPs that use them either try to enforce lighter swinging or mandate the use of armor. Now, of course, some are more hardcore than that. :black101: But IIRC, they don't hold up for very long if you are beating the crap out of them. And it's not like you can just slap a new layer of foam on top when they break. (I know the least about these, because they just started making serious headway into the States when I was getting out of the scene.)

Of course, here in the states, the chances of getting shot by an overzealous cop or citizen for waving around a more realistic weapon around is higher. It's not likely, but it's a potential concern.

What's particularly weird are the ELs. Even though ELs are dicey in the first place, it's just sheer not-giving-a-gently caress to throw low-level PCs against that many high-level encounters. The first level of a dungeon this big, by definition, doesn't need to be overtly challenging, but instead should a primer to concepts and themes in lower levels.

If you have a lot of room to work with, use that to your advantage, not to your detriment.

When we don't playtest, and stick to the other costs, we need under 2000 sales, which is an achievable point for a company like AEG heavily pushing a premium supplement.

You're spot-on about paid playtesting not being viable. Taking the Paizo method of "playtesting" might be better - release and early version for free and take what feedback you can get might be viable. It isn't going to be nearly as meaningful, but if you can mobilize even a tiny portion of your fanbase, it can help at least catch glaring errors.

Not that any of such excuses the remarkably lovely design on display, mind. It's not practical to do a full playtest, but what you could do is just playtest the first section or two, since gently caress, not like most groups are going to get further than that.

Edit: Of course, the fact that it's unplaytestable points to the glaring oversight that makes it practically unplayable, too. The thing about megadungeons as some platonic idea of D&D ignores the fact that they're just not practical for the grand majority of gaming groups. Or even necessarily that much fun.

One thing to realize when playing those older games there just wasn't much of a focus on "doing it by the book" in most groups. I mean, I'm sure there was somebody that used all the Speed Factor rules and the Armor Class by Weapon charts in AD&D, but I've never known them. There was a much greater tendency to only use RAW when it worked, and discard it at all other times. I don't think I ever actually understood Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness' combat system when I was running it, and there was just no knowledge that there might be a better way at the time.

Which only lasted until I encountered GURPS, which for all its foibles, had the advantage of perhaps being the first well-edited and designed game I ever played, and shocked me out my complacency regarding rules.

Each Ork starts with a single goblin, and gains one additional goblin underling every time they gain a point of Oog. Goblins can be used as a resource to make your tasks easier, but only if the goblin dies. The player must describe a way in which killing or sacrificing a goblin allows them to more easily accomplish their task. The goblin is expended, and either the difficulty of the task is reduced to Easy, or one point of Spite is neutralized.

In case I haven't mentioned it before, your Cthulhutech reviews were a big inspiration behind me reviewing some dumb ol' book called Rifts, and in turn giving me an excuse to take my first big steps onto the board.

One thing I think it is interesting is that the Lovecraftian monsters, curiously enough, have almost never been put forth as PC fodder, and I think it's really interesting that Mortal Remains tries. It falls into bullshit boring bug-harmony, but it's one of the better things from Cthulhutech so far. (Mind, that's damning with faint praise.)

So wait, Lovecraft was a nihilist? At least that is what I am picking up from the reference to divine hatred for life.

Not really, though he was very close. He believed in what he called cosmicism - unlike nihilism, he believed there might be meaning or purpose to life, it was just largely inconsequential when considering the "deep time" of an indifferent universe.

When he's referring to "life" in that quote, he's referring to the base processes of life (eating, pooping, touching other people in general), and that humanity's animal nature was something to overcome, not to dwell upon. I don't agree with ol' HP on most things including that, but the point is making a game that dwells considerably on the grotesque details of assembly-line sexual violence because it is "respectful" betrays an utter disregard or ignorance of how the guy actually thought and felt.

I'm going to flash back to my original F&F review of the Rifts corebook and point out it had this picture of a druid (really just a preexisting piece of art Kevin Siembieda licensed or purchased from Keith Parkinson). But there are no druids in that book.



And so when I was young and first read it, I was disappointed there were no rules for her. I figured they would get some rad nature control powers, or animal control, or elemental jazz, or something like that. I was excited! Well, here we are, six books later in the Rifts line, and finally, finally, rules for druids. I was still excited! I bought a copy of Rifts World Book Three: England to get that druid fix.

Lastly, the Scathach. These druids are warriors and blacksmiths who can work with more than just trees--they can manage metal! And maybe even rock. Also it looks like they have a whole big list of stuff they can create. They again get really limited PPE, lest their item creation powers actually manage to function. These guys have a huge list of special magical junk they can make which is separate from the usual list of magical herb crap that already got its own fifteen page section, so here we go.

Plenty: Jesus cauldron, food or drink prepared in it will feed ten times as many people as one of its size normally would. Given that they can make these basically as big as they want according to the text above, this is another thing I would fully expect every town or city with enough barter to invest in, which is probably why they’re 300,000 credits.

It bears mentioning these magic goodies don't have any unusual costs of creation other than magic power and ritual, so somewhere in England it follows there must be a Scathach cabal or cabals that are filthy loving rich. Not that there's a whole lot to spend your money on in England, since it's all pastoral and rural communities, but...

Also I have to concur that those herb lists are pretty long-winded and useless. Did you know certain astrological signs are connected with plants? Did you know palm leaves are associated with Scorpio and the sex organs? (Not many palm trees in England, but...) Did you know licorice root tea is a "thirst quencher"? Imagine that!

They can also all do tattoo magic which works only on humans, elves, ogres, and other Chiang-Ku. I can’t remember if this is consistent with Atlantis or not but it would seem odd that the Splugorth would practice it so commonly if it wasn’t usable on their loyal minion races.

It is consistent, though it also works on "True Atlanteans" as well, since they're just specialer humans. The Tattooed Men and Maxi-Men (I just like mentioning "Maxi-Men" whenever possible) are generally elite slave warriors for the Splugorth. It's implied the Chiang-Ku created the tattoos for use on humans (elves and ogres being "close enough"), and the Splugorth probably stole the knowledge at some point.

But that's okay because he's subverted our expectations with bug-people that hardly matter to anyone anywhere. Of course, this is a Siembieda theme - in Villains Unlimited, which England references, you have 2 or 3 villains that aren't really bad but just are persecuted because they look monstrous, and then you have the secret society of pretty aliens that look like humans that actually want to wipe out or enslave anybody that looks human in favor of ugly monsters (anything that doesn't look human, even if it once was human) because... um... they're racist against humans. Which they look just like. You may want to imagine a snapping sound because that is the sound of my brain breaking.
