"Feng Shui with full character generation" is basically the system for Nexus the Infinite City, only you also had the option to buy tiny skills that don't do as much as Feng Shui skills for some reason. Like an early clunkier prototype of the the ORE-Kerberos Club skill system.

I was looking at Pokemon Tabletop United. I thought, being a homebrew, it'd just be a reskinned d20 or something. I didn't realize they built their own system from the ground up with a 400 page core PDF, a 700 page monster manual, and several adventures to start with. I'm interested in trying it, but it seems really complicated. Has anyone played it and can tell me whether it's worth the time learning the system, or is it a horribly unbalanced mess that I should just pass on?

Is it a fatally bad idea to bring up RPGPundit and Zak S.? It is really interesting reading Mandy Morbid's take on the infinite and unending dramabomb, in the sense that it is interesting reading a third-person account of a conflict that happened 50 years ago that makes absolutely no sense to anyone but the people involved.

With the addition that just because you don't personally have sexist beliefs doesn't mean your actions don't still support sexism. And that your actions count for more than your beliefs in any given situation.(which zak hates being told)

It's a call to arms to harass someone Zak doesn't like wrapped up in progressive politics as a tactical ploy, like usual. There, I just saved you a conversation.

On the upside, you will get Ragnarök, any extra material I feel like writing for it depending on how well received it is, and then another Fortune game after that which will be entirely my own. I hope you're up for commissions down the line Ravenkult.

Actually here is a funny story about that: In the middle of Mandy's whole "Totally not trying to harass anyone! PS: Mikan is actually a lying troll mastermind out to get Zak, here's all the screen/real names they go under, do with that information what you will, Mandy out!" thing, she lists "Smartmonkey" as one of Mikan's aliases. If you're wondering who Smartmonkey is because you've never heard that name before: I got tipped by an RPGnet poster that Smartmonkey is actually some other poster who happened to make a post about transgendered characters in the d20 subforum while sporting a Kanji Tatsumi avatar. People who know what Persona is: totally part of the grand Mikan conspiracy.  (If anyone's thinking of letting them know someone painted a target on their back for expressing pro-LGBT opinions, don't bother; RPGnet staff are dealing with it.)

Does that make me a Mikan Renfield/Dhampir/Vampire as well? Or is it only Kanji Tatsumi AVs that are part of the conspyramid?

Apple Mummy posted:Does this mean no more monthlies, no adventures, no companion book, and no Düngeön? Düngeön at the very least is being worked on by another person and the Companion (current kickstarter) will come out, no prob. Monthlies have been a bit of an issue from the start though, so that's something I'll look into.
