DigitalRaven posted:Funny you should mention that. Put this together a few weeks ago on a similar vague idea. Needs setting. Getting lots of ideas from this thread. I've got a few improvements in mind, and it needs a lot of polish, but it might float someone's boat. This is really interesting so far. I have no feedback mechanicswise because I'm not geared like that, but I like the idea of having to balance out abilities and not wanting to be a monster/ get an old one's attention (I think that's what I gathered? I may have misread, it's late.) Isn't there a thread for making games on here?

Why is literally everything about that prison game just the ugliest? All of the art and design is just hideous. Everything about it is hideous.

Oh poo poo, it's some Torg. I didn't know anyone was doing that system on here. JcDent posted:Is there really enough interest in Rifts for them to keep printing books? Rifts is one of thise ideas that interested me until I saw how it actually worked. It seems too crunchy and quibbly for me to ever enjoy.

I don't know all the warhams lingo, so every time I see WHFB, I think "Warhammer Fantasy Butts" and I don't think I actually care what it really stands for because of that.

I'm going back and starting at the beginning of the TORG writeup, and what the gently caress, seriously. All of these rules are awful, holy poo poo, how did anyone play this game? A lot of it is so superfluous.

Okay, the starfinder logo, that's a joke, right? Because I found some starfinder stuff today in a shop, and it had a normal d in it. Am I missing this hard??? Also what the gently caress, those driving rules.

Can anyone recommend a good fatal and friends from the inkless pen archives? I ate my way through the thread and also ate the torg writeup (while cringing. A lot of cringing) and now I need something new to chew on. I tend to like the ones snarking on bad stuff, but the warhammer ones have been so fun so far as well.

Kurieg posted:Uhh.. Define Bad. Most of the stuff I actually completed is also varying degrees of dumb, with the possible exception of parts of Tome of Magic. I can only keep up my motivation to review when the books physically pain me in some way, apparently. Well, I read all of the Torg reviews. And Abandon All Hope, though that's bad for slimey reasons, so I won't say I liked it so much as couldn't look away from the trainwreck. I apparently like being horrified, but I also like dumb, broken systems too. It always impresses me that this stuff got published. Thanks for all the recs, guys, I'm gonna check them out! Seriously been enjoying the Horrient review, Down With People. The setting is really strong, though my group would derail it so fast. E: reading Hc Svnt Draconis and what the gently caress, guys. I knew furries were stupid, but this... this is next level dumbness. Another edit: got to the part about Slenderman killing the last humans. I hate this. I loving hate this. I know I asked for bad, and I thought I was ready, but I'm not. I'm spite-reading now. I hate this as much as I hate The Sword of Truth books. I might hate it more.

Has no one who made HSD had contact with a corporation in real life? Like ever? They obviously don't know history and what happens when corporations actually have free reign to do whatever.

Wait, it just ends, right there? I thought there would be more SUPER LIBERTOPIA FURRY SECRETS than that. It was so underwhelming. So stupid, but underwhelming. I thought there'd be more of a reveal about the enemies in the game, not this wet fart about space satan. Why did I expect more of these people? I was a fool, I say!

Halloween Jack posted:I have nothing against anime; gently caress I watched Blame! last night and it got me thinking about how cool and good it is when the entire setting is a megadungeon. Cthulhutech is a mashup of a handful of animes, covered in Lovecraft sauce, for the same reason everything is covered in Lovecraft sauce now: the Lovecraft mythos is public domain. It's very cynical. I didn't realize Blame! had an anime, was told to check netflix and lo and behold. Fatal and Friends thread, you bring me so much joy.

That said, it's like that stupid demonstration teachers do with the jar full of sand and golf balls, because somehow the book is also entirely full of meanspirited bullshit, spelling errors that aren't cutely done on purpose, the author forgetting the names of his own skills and tables, and hilarious critical fail results (most of which are either you die, or you are sold into slavery). So how long until someone on here does a writeup, I wonder.

I have a major hate-on for HSD because for people that worship corporations, they have no idea how they work. It enrages me more than it really should. It's just willfully ignorant. Like, I can tolerate the stupid furry poo poo, that's old hat by now, it's the libertarian poo poo that gets me.

So, this is from pages ago, but I'm so happy Torg Eternity is good. The art's good, the system sounds good, it doesn't seem to punish the player for daring to want cool powers. It's kind of a relief. I'm also a little sad it isn't terrible though, because I apparently enjoy being hurt by terrible things. I had so much fun with the Torg f and f, and subjecting my long-suffering husband to tales of terrible mechanics. Nothing has scratched the itch since. (Well, that Dracones game came close, but it was for different reasons. Infuriating ones.) Are you planning to finish it one day, Evil Mastermind? Also, thanks for the review of the new game! Still mostly glad it was good. I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want to play some Torg.

I've gone back several pages, but is anyone doing, has done, or planning to do the new Pathfinder? If I'm just missing it, let me know. I've heard it's a hilarious mess, and want to know more/see someone snark at it. Please forgive me if I've missed it, I'm like a million pages behind.
