Isn't that more or less precisely what you're doing in DOOM 2016, but against a capitalist regime instead of a fascist one though? Like the demons are a constant that cannot be stopped but it's perfectly obtainable to destroy the infrastructure needed by Robo Steve Jobs and Cyber mega church lady.

PurpleXVI posted:If anything I think it'd be more normalizing if they were just accepted as an off-hand mention in a sidebar rather than because of some great heroic myth, because that kind of implies that everywhere without that myth isn't going to be okay with them and also that homosexuals need a divine stamp of approval rather than just being casually accepted like everyone else.

It actually seems like in Warhammer treating chaos mutation this way is a sort of self fulfilling prophecy that creates more chaos followers. Because society is poo poo and blames you for the mutation you don't really have any other choice that joining up with the one group that will accept you, even if they're still assholes. Almost like the solution would be not blaming people for mutations.

Honestly Delta Green agents could more plausibly team up with the mortal Mythos monsters than anyone could argue it's immoral to kill WoD vampires.

I guess it would be "funnier" if the space fash faction was a split off of the scum, and not GOP members that managed to make it to an escape ship and then mellow out slightly about catholicism.

Yeah it's understandable that Nimrod ends up being the bad guy, but it's just really funny to me that even his first good act is punished.

KingKalamari posted:In the write-up for the Temple of Pegana we’re told the weird legend of its high priest, Mung, who brought the temple’s pantheon to the CIty State from a far off land, incited a city-wide revolt of the local craftsmen and then unleashed the “Beast of Mung” during the resulting civil war. Mung’s still kicking around, by the way. Apparently all that unrest and beast-releasing wasn’t enough to get the Overlord to kick him out…

It's still baffling that Beast just has nothing for the players to do besides feed on innocent people. It just has no major hooks.

Hell, if the clone gets activated and is walking around while I'm still breathing that's gonna be mildly weird, but after figuring out names and roommate situations its fine too. The concept of the Self as a vital point of self image and identity is not universal.

Joe Slowboat posted:The point about sleep and continuity of consciousness really isn't a minor one btw. How do you know your consciousness is continuous when you wake up? We take it on faith because we're used to it. It might not be! Which would be existentially terrifying, in a sense, but... we assume that the light which goes out is the one that comes on again because to do otherwise is not very good for us.

I'd argue it has gotten better again, mainly due to those two no longer being a large part of the administration and all of the super creeps either being banned or leaving over the rainbow logo.

It was baffling how many 3.5 players have such an issue with static bonuses just being from expert craftsmanship instead of magical enchantment. Like somehow saying that a +5 sword can be made by amazing but non-magical smiths made me a horrible rollplayer of a DM and not a true roleplayer.
