All the Madlands gods are actually characters from Winnie The Pooh. Bax Powu Kag isn't actually a moose. He's a Donkey. This is probably the best feature of the Madlands.

Kobal is bored and doesn't want to even be here (the metaphysical here of being a demon prince and engaging in his word), but by god he's contracted to this show. He's not putting any effort into it and just going through the motions of his routine, the worst kind of comedy.

chaos rhames posted:I heard a horror story about a Rift Supers game run at my old meetup where the characters were caretakers to a superman analogue who was stripped of his powers and left a wheelchair bound, mentally disabled moron. None of them had powers either. There is no limit to how stupidly dark a superhero story can go. Oh hey, some GM read Wanted.

Siivola posted:Baker visited a local TG convention a couple of years back, and I think he mentioned then that he grew up in a fundie sort of country and really hated it. Dogs kinda reflects that, entirely on purpose. Yeah the game is supposed to cause friction between the stated morality of the faith and the actualities of real (game) people in the real (game) world. I would absolutely understand anyone who says they wouldn't want to play that game, but DITV does that game very very well.

Strange Matter posted:Holy smokes, Dog's conflict system is, like, nothing I've ever seen before. So basically the idea is that, against really thick-headed opponents you can escalate all the way up to lethal force if nobody is willing to give? You can escalate at first go to lethal force, by giving at the first raise then escalating all the way up to gunplay. It probably won't end well, but you definitely can.

At the same time people are totally in the right if they have problems doing so to not play the game. It's designed to be a point of stress because it's something that people are dealing with actively in the real world now.

The joke is that you apparently missed that hasn't been the point of Werewolf for at least a decade. Let's try a different tack here. You like Grant Morrison, right? Beast is Magneto per Grant Morrison. Not worth the effort and actually just bad.

unseenlibrarian posted:"The Anti-priests of the Atheocracy of Lom" and "The Autocossacks of the Iron Tsar" are tied for "The most Jack Kirby sounding things in the setting." Just gonna assume that most pre-Shattering supertech has lots of visible circuitry lines and runs on kirby dots and big hats. Godbound are obviously the Fourth World after THE DEATH OF THE OLD GODS what with the new ultimate divinities and cast off weapons from the wars to end war.

Nearly no Amish affiliations use motorized tractors. Almost all Amish affiliations use washing machines. Even saying they're anti-convenience is a misinterpretation.

It can vary, obviously. The Amish are not lockstep regarding technology much like they're not all alike regarding many various things. They're also not the same as Mennonites but they're both Anabaptists.

Liefeld pretty much cops to loving up at Image last I checked. The real Siembieda in that train wreck was probably Todd McFarlane, or rather Siembieda is a lesser version of McFarlane's complete rear end in a top hat schtick.

All the other premades must have been made terrible in a misguided attempt to balance out how amazing that Old Master is. That is Grandpa of the Cyberpapacy level right there. You are right that they really beefed the landing on this one, though, because desire for personal vengeance versus the rule of actual law is prime kung-fu narrative territory.

Ordo Dracul is basically Ordo DIO, where vampires who know that being a vampire is actually the coolest spend time learning cool new vampire tricks in the process of mastering the state of undeath totally.

theironjef posted:I want a game where both versions of wrestling are true. The matches are choreographed and the stories are fake, but it's super important that they do a great job, because their power is derived from the adulation and screams of the masses, and it's also just the way the wrestlers make money in public. Outside the ring, they have to go forth and fight the shadow war the people can't know about. Vampires, zombies and worse. The only thing standing in the way of the monsters enslaving society is the wrestlers, and when they're out of the ring, they don't have to hold back! Yokozuna's got his earthquake stomps, the Rock is literally hard as stone and so on. I would also like a Lucha Underground game, yes.

This is p. dumb because X-Crawl is the anti-Beast: It's the easiest thing in the world to fix because it's a simple but powerful through-line for a setting and then you staple whatever system to it. It's just that it got stapled to a very bad system.
