It's a futuristic gimp suit made out of a frictionless material (the palms and soles are roughened so you can actually walk and grab stuff) that supposedly makes the wearer "nearly immune to any sort of entangling or grappling attack", which in game terms translates to a +1 on grapple-related Defense rolls (+2 circumstance bonus to grapple checks in OGL). A bit underwhelming, is all I'm saying.
I dunno, there's the obvious ability to take a running start, flop down on your belly and go all wheeeeeeee in any direction you want quicker than walking.
(you can't always formalize a happy little penguin into game terms, is all I'm trying to say)

Also, somebody please review the Varg Vikernes RPG.
As far as I know, Myfarog is only available in dead tree form which complicates things somewhat.

Wait, doesn't Ryutama have farmer as one of the classes your character can be? What was their thing again in the adventuring party scheme of things?

It does, but being a game about travelling, it does not give farmers much in terms of abilities or opportunities to do actual farming. They are more similar to a generic jack-of-all-trades class from roguelikes.

Ulisses recently recalled a Ingame history book due to fan outrage about the changes...it´s hilarious.

Please elaborate? That sounds fascinating.

I think the legit RPG you're thinking about it is the Realms of Arkania series.

I also really liked the Realms of Arkania trilogy back in the nineties, long before knowing anything about Das Schwartze Auge or tabletop RPGs.
(wow, I just learned that all three are available on Steam either separately or as a bundle, might as well check them out again to see if they aged well
edit: on GOG as well, looks like the trilogy's even cheaper over there)

Nope, I was thinking of Darklands.
That's weird how the two (Darklands and RoA) interlap in my memories as well in spite of totally unrelated settings and developers. Must be the isometric combat (or the meticulous attention to detail. I remember finding it hard to believe back then that the company that made Darklands wasn't actualy from Germany).

Doresh posted:

Fun fact: There's no Arkania in all of TDE. They just thought the title would sound better for the English release.
I am somewhat looking forward to the English release of The Dark Eye 5e, if only to finally get a hold of the Aventuria setting. The word is that the crunchy part of tabletop Das Schwartze Auge is highly German as well.

Fantasy Farming Simulator 1999!

Incredible.

Oooh, now I remember that a month ago, there was a talk in this thread about rural role-playing and how Ryytama's farmer class wasn't up to much as far as agriculture was concerned.

Wikipedia posted:

HârnMaster Core was seen by some as an oversimplification of the original. Some fans appreciated the change as it made play move faster at the expense of realism. Others preferred the realism of the original. Original author N. Robin Crossby responded with the even more detailed HârnMaster Gold.

HârnMaster Gold Player's Edition and GM's Edition are published by Kelestia Productions and is known for exceptional realism. It is best suited for a realist style of play, and is not well-suited for those who prefer a fast-paced game.

Also the first ever published adventure was titled 100 Bushels of Rye.

...Now I might need to know more.

Meanwhile, CthulhuTech v2 entered open beta and is free for anyone to download.

CthulhuTech v2 disclaimer posted:

We've heard the feedback from the community, so the Shadow War focuses on the awesomeness of being an occult super-hero, while leaving the more controversial subject matter to implication or the desires of individual groups.

Oh, I think I might have some idea of that controversial matter you imply there :pervert: We shall see, WildFire, we shall see.

Apparently the plan is to go all FFG and have a Tager RPG, a Mecha RPG and a...gently caress if I know, wizards and psychics vs. spies RPG?

CthulhuTech v2 posted:

While other books will present rules for creating other kinds of Characters, The Shadow War focuses on those who have
become mystical symbionts.

Yup.

Also, WildFire's website has last been updated May 2013 :effort:
