Cardiovorax: Jun 5, 2011; I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

And then some clever-rear end Shard would come up with a way to engineer a situation where a denial made something come true and gently caress you over. Nobilis is just not a game that lends itself to competition or powergaming, because it basically relies on everybody in the group agreeing that yeah, what just happened made sense, with a minimum amount of fuss and mechanics. It's the anti-Paranoia that way.

It's pretty interesting in how once you delve past your fear of being unable to understand a foreign element, you realize how familiar things can be, or not that different.

That's what I enjoyed the most about learning about real-life African history. It makes you appreciate just how different from each other people aren't.

_{"But does it have enough missiles, really?"}

This is a gunship-style helicopter, and has a nautical variant with pontoons and torpedo launchers (rules for torpedoes are in the next section). Its M.D.C. is almost irrelevant, though, since nearly anything can shoot one of its rotors and watch it Black Hawk Down. So. Not the best idea Iron Heart's had. However, the broken quality of the missiles comes again, since it can shoot 24 mini-missiles an attack for 24d6 x 10, or do decent damage with its autocannons. Oh, and it can shoot you with medium-range missiles from about 50 miles away. So there's that.

So ten of these can kill a minor god.

...Siembieda has no loving clue how balance is even spelled, does he?

Only if that minor God is not protected by Islamist rebels armed with Stinger missiles.

Good thing those were all killed by the literal Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

He wrote a rant in one of his books about how RPGs should never be balanced. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Please do. Because RIFTS is really not making me think anything except "you're deluded."

The whole thing was handled more or less with as much tact as I think an RPG sourcebook is capable of, but I still really don't understand why anyone thought something like this needed to exist. Was it really necessary for someone to sit down and seriously think about how your game experience would be enriched by background fluff on what happens to the murdered ghost babies of Holocaust victims? I don't really think so.

Napoleon notoriously had a set of aluminium dinnerware that he only used when the solid gold stuff wasn't classy enough.

the fiction snippet has a character called Tiger X turning a monstrous mugger into a pile of intestines and other gore.

This is so 90s I just farted a Nirvana album. Thank you for sharing.

I'm in love and I want to gaymarry whoever came up with that.

People never did this with Vampire, and I think this has to do with the fact that Vampire was marketed at a time when emotionally distant vampires were still more of a masculine fantasy than a feminine one.

I don't think so. Vampire is a giant ripoff of Anne Rice, which was women-oriented gay softcore porn from the beginning. I think it's more that there are probably not terribly many people who are not emotionally immature teenagers in highschool who would see the appeal in roleplaying an emotionally immature teenager in highschool. It wasn't that fun the first time around.

Like if I ever ran a Monsterhearts game, I'd probably banned Mortal as it's theme hits a little too close to my family history.

No poo poo. The Mortal is basically Borderline Disorder: The Character Class. It's disturbing.

Sounds ideal for the kind of player who doesn't like being restrained by plot and really just wants to mess around and make trouble for everybody else.
