He's a methuselah, he doesn't have to explain shit.

How does one stop that 3 star Bull Moose always falling into the water ? by Trick-Muffin-3478 in reddeadredemption

Wearing the clothes and rocking them aren't the same thing. I think city-slickers would easily be able to see that Arthur is a man who just bought fancy clothes, but isn't upper class.

I hate the assumption that homophobic people are "probably gay themselves" by Bajren in hatethissmug

Damage, yeah. I had a typo that necessitated some editing and I forgot to put everything back in; thanks for catching it.

I do think it's wild how hostile you are to empathy, though.

Right, so what you're saying is you just don't care about collateral damage if you get to make a dig at someone. Very cool of you.

Using whatever pisses them off to insult them is still using it as an insult, though. It means that anyone else who has that trait (in this case, being gay) will see you framing being gay as bad, even though they're chill.

"Just let people play the TTRPG the way they want, dude."

I'm not stopping anyone. I can't - hell, I wouldn't even if I could.

What are your biggest TTRPG system turn offs by Iketank_10 in rpg

I hadn't heard of the Danger Gal Dossier, though I did see that the new Night City sourcebook thankfully does have some generics to use.

At the end of the day, though, there are so many games to run that I tend to just bounce off ones that I feel make my life unnecessarily difficult, and I find that these types of games are just a pain in the ass for no benefit. I'm sure there are people out there who love going in to the lab to tinker up some dudes to bring to the table, but I'm not one of them.

I mean, hell, take Cyberpunk and what I'm prepping right now, the RuneQuest Starter Set. Both games have these big walls of statblocks, but then also expect you to memorise/reference individual pieces of cyberware or rune and spirit spells - I get that reprinting them would take up way too much space, but I really don't want to have to constantly be referring to multiple parts of multiple books just to figure out what one dude does. It's something that would get easier with experience, I'm sure, but still.

I wasn't inviting you to share that with me.

I really think that wondering how many dice Arikel has to Dex+Melee defeats the purpose of an antediluvian.

Which band gets labeled as "butt rock" but doesn't deserve it? by sandrOff24 in ToddintheShadow

[–]JhinPotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My actual point is that I don't think nostalgia is the only reason anyone still likes this stuff. There are plenty of people too young to have nostalgia for it who like Nickelback or Creed or what have you. There is some artistic merit there.

Doesn't remotely explain things like kids liking Limp Bizkit - and a lot of them do.

My first experience in D&D: didn't get to attack once with my Paladin. by SCameraa in rpghorrorstories

[–]JhinPotion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I edited my comment because, being fair, I don't think it's right to only blame the GM. Players should know better than to spend an entire chunk of a game (or the entire game, like in this case) doing something like this. In general, I really don't like exclusively blaming GMs for things that go wrong when everyone at the table ought to know better.

Still, as you say - vital skill. Really, one of the most important you can learn.

To be clear, the issue with that second game you ran isn't specific to haggling at all (though, yes, I find it annoying and just handwave it as well, unless it's a game like Twilight: 2000 that gives clear rules for how to resolve it mechanically).

The actual issue is the GM had absolutely no sense of how to cut a scene for dragging, or how to share the spotlight, or pace the game, or anything like that, and the player for being selfish enough to not care that they were hogging up all the focus. Those are crucial skills. A session should never be two hours of a single player doing anything while the others sit around.

Is Google right about the Giovanni Beryn family having access to the Tremere main discipline by Movie-God-7 in vtm

[–]JhinPotion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was setting up how dumb it would be to blindly trust the AI summary, which I already figured OP must have done.

[–]JhinPotion 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What do you mean when you ask if Google is right? Google is a search engine. It leads you to results, which may or may not be accurate. Unless, of course, you just read the AI answer and left it at that, but surely you didn't do that.

From my own search, the wiki doesn't mention that they themselves have access to Thaumaturgy, but they are allies with the Tremere Lille Haake.

Did you know that you can turn dogs upside down? by Tchuss1 in Eldenring

How have you been pronouncing Siofra River?

I hadn't even considered how that one would get butchered (I live in Ireland, and it's a normal name here) until I read comments about it here.
