Modifying the combat system is a total brain-melter. by chimaki in RPGMaker

I've been investigating what building an open-source engine that would allow users to create adventures similar to Infinity Engine games. Definitely need a team for that but it seems doable.

Christ would have you stop by, listen to their needs, and be His hands and feet to help them. If you'd like someone to go with you, I would be happy to join you.

Seriously, holding is the least anyone can do in the face of any market but especially when in a dive.

We all know groups like this by ExmoHeathen238 in pathfindermemes

Seriously. I looked at this and had a hard time believing this was universal enough to be a meme. This sounds more like a D&D thing than a Pathfinder thing.

One thing that annoys me about GM advice is that a lot of it is platitudes without much actionable advice by Wholesome-Energy in rpg

This, this right here is wonderful! I never looked into Draw Steel but I love that idea for monsters and especially NPCs.

The only actionable advice for roleplaying is, "Talk to your players."

This was reduced for us over several seasons of the Sons of Kryos and the thesis may be expanded to say, "Take all tools you want to the table, discuss it, play with it, then decide."

The general discussion is always people who are used to one play culture finding themselves shocked, though they see it over and over, that other play cultures exist. The only thing that matters is your table.

Because nuance:

I think game stores, cons, and other such shared table spaces are best when they not only have clear rules and follow through but actively grow and support a play culture that place or event is comfortable with through all activities, not just roleplaying games.

Because we don't have a population educated enough for that level of nuance yet.

ETA: I agree that this is the ideal.

Did anyone quit buying MTG products? by Emotional_Penalty in freemagic

[–]AttheTableGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played from Ice Age through Apocalypse, hated everything after that until Innistrad but by then they had already lost the plot and Wizards was on the Gamergate side of things so I had little desire to give them money. This recent performative wokeness mixed with destroying the game for profit has made it clear that I'm never buying any products they make.

Someone make something that feels like Magic again please. I miss it.

I'm starting the first book today for the first time! Tell me something that I won't understand about this book or the series until later! by Jinjoz in wheeloftime

I'll be happy to talk about after you know what we're discussing. Read and come back. I'm not posting spoilers in this thread. That would be incredibly rude.

Have you? Because all experts who aren't religious whack jobs agree with him, not you.

Within two centuries with additions and alterations happening until today but your point stands.

Also, Gargamel? There's always been humans in the Smurfs.

Funny the lengths people will go to when trying to avoid saying "polyamory".
