Kai Tave posted:Now I don't know how much of this applies to The Strange and how much is specific to Numenera, but Numenera makes a pretty convincing case that Monte Cook hasn't really advanced beyond "guy whose salad days were reinventing D&D with various caster buffs added and a great new idea called passive perception." Good news! The The Vector is also described as being no mere street thug but a truly inspirational leader. Below the spoiler is how many Vector powers actually help lead people, but see if you can work it out before you peek. One! It's level 2 and lets the Vector help someone else perform a physical action and ONLY a physical action without giving up their whole turn to do so.

Ominous Jazz posted:Wait, so monster hearts isn't the game about being a teenage dracula at an anime school? Perhaps unwarranted serious talk: You know how you look at pretty much every horror classic ever and it turns out it's man? That monsters and the supernatural are just humanity's own weaknesses and foibles writ larger than life? Dracula is about how power corrupts. Frankenstein is about a goon in a hole who just will not stop digging. The Wolf Man is about fear of your own capacity for savagery and destruction -- you know, how even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright? Okay, so backmask that magnification onto the YA supernatural genre, and so obviously every supernatural teenager embodies some driver of the infinite vortex that is teen drama. That's the theory behind Monsterhearts.

gradenko_2000 posted:I'm saying this as non-confrontationally as possible, but are you saying I shouldn't try to, for example, take players through A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity using Dungeon World rules? That depends. Is it the original tournament module release or the later reissue with the twenty page walk-talk-and-get-captured-by-slave-lords prologue? Because if it's the latter, your players are likely to jump the poorly-constructed rails when they're still in Ponce-Fotheringay or whatever podunk barony they start in that's one continent removed from the actual dungeon of A1.

Drone posted:May be a weird place to ask about it, but it is specifically TG-topic related: if I want to design/customize a character sheet for an RPG, and want something that looks nicer than the raw functionality of Excel, what kind of software would I need to look for? Something like InDesign / Scribus? Inkscape is open-source vector drawing software. It's got some good document-layout chips and if you need more than an office suite can give you, it's a good place to start.
