Terrible Opinions posted:It just seemed like it a very similar character, and might have been an writer going "wait Percival has a wife, but he's also not supposed to have sex. Time to find replace wife for sister." Maybe Percival's just bad at women?

Midjack posted:This is a maybe accidental reflection of the real world. Most gunfights that aren’t military engagements are over in a really small number of shots, far less than the capacity of a subcompact semiautomatic or even a revolver. If I can find the reference I’ll edit it in, it was a class I took many years ago. This reminds me of one of the weirder things from Shadowrun 4e's epistolary chatter bits in the gun books. Like, they'd introduce a gun that would be pretty lovely for a Shadowrunner to carry because it'd have low ammo capacity and maybe be magazine fed and so forth and the ad copy would mention that it got a award for being a good civilian self-defense weapon. The runners would say that this was obvious evidence of the police departments encouraging bad weapons for civilians so they couldn't fight back. But with a few exceptions these weapons would be perfectly good everyday carry weapons for normal people. It was kinda bizarre.

Falconier111 posted:Even attempts to toss them onto the treadmill usually make the mistake of promoting/limiting them to crazy martial arts weapons that are rare, expensive, and generally inconvenient Base them off of Sengoku-era Souhei. Preferred weapons: Naginata, archery, swords, giant-rear end iron clubs, and motherfucking handcannon.

That is maybe the silliest outfit in any Games Workshop property. Clowns look upon that and weep bitter tears into their polka-dotted kerchiefs at the sight.

Nessus posted:You know, this is a good point, and a good excuse for completely bizarre things like "a forest of giant poles of stone in this desert plain for no discernible loving reason." Also small families of pillarkeeps doing minimal maintainance like keeping birds from nestin on the poles or reporting if idiots keep stealing them or whatnot. Paid a small stipend and doing subsistance living on the land, the like.

Redeye Flight posted:The agreements with the Karrakin Trade Baronies were set up under SecComm, and have continued to exist under ThirdComm basically by being grandfathered in. Five hundred years is a long rear end time for something to be grandfathered in, but ThirdComm's to-do list is and always has been lightyears long. There are so many things you could stick in this quote in the place of 'Karrakin Trade Baronies' and you'd also be correct. A lot of ThirdComm's problems are poo poo they have inherited from SecComm.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Of course, the specific focus on philistinist traps speaks to how the author sees the world; subtext is for cowards. Also the quantity of 'here is a person in need of help; if you help them they will backstab you immediately' traps.

Wouldn't it be funnier if Ninja Burger's food was terrible and that's why they need magical super-spies to sell it? And the ninjas were honor-bound to deliver and upsell crappy fast-food that they hate. That makes the competitors both a physical and a moral threat.

FMguru posted:Usually when a terrible game gets written up in F&F there is a lot of effort to try and "fix" or "salvage" it. Gnostic horror isn't an inherently bad idea, but with Kult it's just blatantly obvious that there's nothing salvagable at all. It is 100% junk.

Everyone posted:The Technocracy wants to keep the Sleepers as cogs in their forever machine. The Traditions want to wake all the Sleepers into being Mages so that they'll have informed consent on how their reality is shaped - because they'll be the ones shaping it. Yeah, but what does a world where the Traditions get their way look like? I mean, that sounds remarkably like a world ruled by whoever the strongest mages are, and the Traditions will naturally have a leg up on the new world order because they've been maging longer than the masses. It's very Senator Armstrong-sounding.

mellonbread posted:There's a reason you see so many high level heroes running around in underwear. Magic items which provide DEX or direct buffs to AC are superior to metal armor in every way. This goes double for systems that model "touch" attacks, which completely gently caress characters in plate by ignoring AC from worn armor. All of which is very weird, given that D&D et al are inspired by medieval combat and the knight in shining armor was the very symbol of unbeatable martial prowess. The PCs should aspire to wear plate, not see it as a trap; a villian that's a knight in blackened armor should be enough to be a boss fight. But it fails to fulfill the mechanical fantasy.
