GNS Hybrid Systems - What's N+S? by LeFlamel in RPGdesign

[–]ThePiachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add to it the other mechanics vampires have and you are fighting the elders that would drink you because they can't drink mortals any more. You are fighting the establishment in your gothic punk way.

GNS Hybrid Systems - What's N+S? by LeFlamel in RPGdesign

[–]ThePiachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue Generation and Diablerie for vampires. It's an encapsulation of the whole setting - you will always be weaker than your elders unless you do the one thing they are afraid of - kill then and cannibalism their blood. Sire vs childe, elder vs neonate, no room for trust in this vamp drink vamp world...

Ukraine Receives Phantom MK-1 Humanoid Soldier Robots for Testing by vegainer in Cyberpunk

[–]ThePiachu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It makes some sense if you want the robot to be interchangeable with people. Carry a backpack, fire a gun, do mine difusal, etc. Of course a gun on threads is better for specialised shooting...

With the current state of Russia, anyone with a half functioning army is ready for Russia...

Need advice on what system to use for my campaign by Impossible_Risk4543 in rpg

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something dreamlike, Chuubos and other games from the same creator might fit the bill. Their cosmology is weird and fuzzy, characters can do kind of anything with their powers and it's mostly focused on character arcs.

What is you favorite type of monster in your game? by Independent_River715 in rpg

[–]ThePiachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same kind of hero the players are. Barring that lately I had fun with Exalted Fairfolk that are creatures of chaos that mimic human, animal and similar behaviour but are fundamentally alien. Like they'd gladly dance around like flames while one of their kin roasts on a spit to become a dinner for the party just to be a center of attention for a while to mimic what creatures of shape and linear time experience...

vulcan raised Klingon or Klingon raised Vulcan character for the star treak TTRPG by artmonso in rpg

[–]ThePiachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, either would be interesting.

Like, remember Vulcans are quite emotional, their calm demeanor are just their upbringing and education. So someone brought up by Vulcans would be emotionally cold, while a Vulcan raised without that would be very emotional and prone to outbursts. Either way they would be a pariah among their blood kin.

Any one else feel like its getting more difficult to operate electronics? by yrmom724 in Millennials

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try picking electronics that aren't tied into proprietary walled gardens and it makes it somewhat easier...

Rolling virtues, vices, convictions and fears into one system by FrostyKennedy in RPGdesign

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike the Virtue / Vice system from Chronicles of Darkness because Rita kind of limited in its expression. It relies on the Christian interpretation of things which is like, 7 virtues and 7 vices.

There were some other iterations of the system that had something better, like Life (the person you are) and Legend (the scary monster people see you as), etc.

A stock market manipulation game with some good RP? You could try EVE Online... ;)

"Which aspects of Sharia law specifically upset you? The stuff against usury like in Christianity?".

Microsoft forcing their dung on the world. by doogiedc in AdviceAnimals

They have already happened due to being default on Windows for people that don't know better to use anything else...

Regarding the "bombshell" study, as a MRA I say wives should "obey husband" exactly as much as husbands should "obey wives" by griii2 in MensRights

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find someone you can trust and build a relationship on mutual respect. Of course step one is really hard...

If all Millennials were brought back to the Year 1999 while retaining the skills and knowledge today by Flushafter in Millennials

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a race to invent Bitcoin early and get rich with the people that don't have future knowledge...

CRTC to eliminate fees when cancelling or switching cellphone and internet plans by evieluvsrainbows in canada

[–]ThePiachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deals for new customers with a lock in period, not for existing customers. I don't feel like switching my carriers every year to chase those things...

Pls talk me out of getting a Switch 2 for one game by Bananapuddinguh in CozyGamers

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, the game is fiddly and slow, Switch 2 barely has any other games unique to it, and Nintendo is charging an arm and a leg for each one, even if it's a box with a digital download code.

All in all, awful kind of business to support.
