No. 1 Apartheid Fan posted:...I have a similar theory that some nontrivial percentage of the backlash against 4E D&D - not the majority, but enough that it should be seen as a creative mistake - came from people who had a bad time with the first official adventure module (Keep on the Shadowfell). loving Irontooth!

These Demon NPCs have been way more interesting to me than the Promethian ones. I'm honestly tempted to pick up Demon now.

hyphz posted:... Because the game that broke me wasn't Blades In The Dark. It wasn't even Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. No. It was Shadowrun Fourth / Twentieth Anniversary Edition. (Yes, the name's already a mess.) Funny enough, this is the last edition of Shadowrun that I played that I would describe as "not entirely terrible".

The Shadowrun thread suggests either 3e or just reskin Blades in the Dark. The person in my IRL game who runs SR is just planning on using Genesys the next time he wants to run Shadowrun. 8one6 fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Oct 7, 2019 |

Phys Adepts loving rocked in 4e. Not sure about 5e since I never looked at the magic rules for that edition.

PurpleXVI posted:I still don't get what made putting "sex moves" in any game, ever, seem like a good idea. Because it's a deep and mature game for adult gamers and if you don't like maybe you're the immature one maaaaaaan! Now play these characters that gets special powers when they gently caress each other.

Slimnoid posted:There's also the theory (presented in 3.5's Lords of Madness) that Illithids are time-travelers from the distant future, right around the heat death of the universe. They'd conquered everything, all the suns were extinguished, but now their entire empire and race was about to die because existence itself was going to fall in on itself. So, they figure, just travel to the past and start over! This is one of my favorite bits of D&D lore.

Falconier111 posted:The first time I ever felt like a Chicagoan was when I learned that some adults still put ketchup on their hotdogs. Like, I felt actual, visceral disgust. That’s the sort of poo poo you wean children off of before they hit double digits, why would you do that as an adult? What the gently caress? What is wrong with you? I've seen what Chicagonians put on a hot dog and the ketchup thing is some real "loading stones into an automatic baseball pitcher and firing randomly through my glass house" poo poo.

Angry Salami posted:This feels less like an actual trap and more like you've wandered into a pit trap showroom. I'd imagine once they're charmed, the Naga will start their sales pitch, and by the time it wears off, the PCs will find they've agreed to purchase half a dozen top-of-the-line pit traps. Well it would have been silly to only buy 5 when you get a discount on 6 or more.

OtspIII posted:... So my friend Brady wanted to run us through the caves of chaos a few years back. Setup was fine, we get to the caves and decide to scout around and find an easier entrance to the caves then the one lined with skulls (we were only level 2 at the time but there were like 8 of us, including someone really new to rpgs who was going to be the scout). The scout sneaks into the cave and the GM starts reading the boxed text, getting only far enough into it to say "...you see a bear..." before the scout dashes out of the cave to alert the rest of the part that it's a bear cave! Well, our gnome alchemist could talk to animals (We were playing Pathfinder at the time) so as a group we decided that the gnome and the scout should head in to talk to the bear to see if we could use the cave as an entrance into the rest of the caves of chaos. They discover, too late to flee, that the boxed text was making mention of a bear-skin rug the Ogre was using as a bed. At about the point the two players realizes what happened the ogre has appeared and proceeded to paste the gnome in one hit*. The scout books it, gets the rest of us, and we have a bit of a fight with an ogre. And that's the story of how the new guy learned to wait for a room's description to finish before reacting. *the gnome had 1 hit point left, he was fine.

PurpleXVI posted:The Mi-Go found "Yuggoth Travels." Once you're just a brain in a canister, you can survive pretty much any hostile conditions. So they pop out your brain and you get to tour various non-Earth planets, while your body remains in cold storage, and when you get home you even have a cool Frankenstein scar to show off to your friends. In return they get human money so they can buy up mineral rights and of course pump their guests for information on their new business partners. They also help humanity deal with alien threats, not necessarily out of compassion but because if all of humanity gets melted down by the King In Yellow, suddenly they'll lose their business deals and their signed contracts will no longer be worth the regolith slabs they're printed on. Sign me the gently caress up. That sounds sweet as hell.

Of the three mostly incompatible games in the Cthulhutech core book the Evangelion game was somehow the weakest. Also it was hilarious just how opposed the devs were to anyone actually doing the EVA thing and having teen Mech pilots. (or Gyver pilots but I don't remember anything from the Ctech chat about them throwing as big a fit about that.)

After the rigger book came out the best way to play one (imo) was to focus on a few high quality drones instead of just swarms of trash.

Get yourself a steel lynx and the biggest gun you can afford to mount on it at the time. I had to rebuild the drat thing three or four times that campaign but none of the other players ever regretted me sending "Goodbye Kitty" on a run.
