"Escapist from a weird underground society where the penalty for failing your adulthood initiation rite is to be fused with a loving giant spider" is enough on its own.

Count Chocula posted:What's interesting is that since UA came out, we'd had all the Wikileaks stuff, which does go back to the earlier Messenger idea of pure facts/truth. And look at how much that has changed overall.  I recently read Godwalker, which covered the creation of a godwalker — something you're definitely in for the long haul —, the hosed-up nature of The Freak, TNI, several flavours of chaos adept, and enough violence in the second half to feel like Quentin Tarantino had a hand. It sure was a thing.

Wow. The Lost Room is Unknown Armies as gently caress. Obsession, magic being nothing but trouble, competing conspiracies with varying parts of the picture..

Nessus posted:Now we are all sons of bitches... and that's why we're moving to Dogs in the Vineyard, folks! Technomancer is weird enough to deserve a write-up. The idea is that nukes caused some extradimensional radiation (MAGIC PARTICLES) to come into the world in the 1940s, and then poo poo got weird. The one thing I firmly recall about it is that the Antarctic penguins have a hive mind.

PurpleXVI posted:Burning Empires sounds like a great idea, but I just have a dislike for any sort of game that tries to make the "rhythm" or pacing of the game a forced part of the mechanics. You get 18 sessions to play, because that's exactly what works for every campaign and every group! Someone falls asleep under a tree somewhere, and wakes up with a newfound appreciation for their annelid bretheren, along with the desire to pick up a club and ensure their former camping buddies know the worm. Then they go back to town and assume their host's lives, spreading to maybe one new host a week. But by now, its too late. They're gaining momentum. Soon the city will fall, and then, the planet. Your planet is next. Beware the worm.

LornMarkus posted:You would still have to find a way to deal with edge cases that could still break it, like going to D&D: how would such a character interact with a wizard using an invisibility spell to hide from them? Would they just have a chance to see through it, and what if the spell was cast before they were aware the wizard was there and thus they're not even looking? How about against someone who polymorphed themselves into something really nasty? Would they just have a chance to dispel it with each strike, or would they instead ignore (some degree of) the AC, DR and extra hit points the new form granted them? Obviously the whole thing gets a bit less weird and complicated in a less crunchy system (a FATE aspect of Mundane/Magic is Dumb/Bunch of Charlatans/Master of My Personal Reality that you just invoke whenever resisting some supernatural effect) but focusing on that doesn't provide as much chatter. Your swordstroke cuts through the bedsheet ghost to reveal...Mayor Johnson who hired you in the first place?! And I would have gotten away with it, too..

Count me in as another person who chipped in on the Fellowship kickstarter thanks to that writeup.

Well. That was oddly uncomfortable to read.

I guess you could do that in GURPS or any other generic system.
