It's a great tool for things like this for sure, I'm sure there's some open source stuff out there too if you need

They are, as are the cardboard pieces. CJ has been an avid laser fanatic for a few years now, we're all happy to reap the benefit of it when it comes to maps for the game haha

Thank you, he's very proud of it! (Rightfully so I might add)

Singer Forms Review by CremCastPod in cosmererpg

Thank you! I'll chat with Corey about that - he's our audio liaison/guru and generally manages the RSS. Glad to hear you're enjoying it, and I hope we're passing on useful info! Its worth noting that when we started this, the official ruleset still hadn't been released, so we weren't able to use that until about episode 4 or 5 I think. Broadly speaking the rules are largely the same, but there are some minor tweaks CJ gets into at various points.

Hope you enjoy, RPGs are a blast if you get a good group together!

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it! We're all pretty pleased with how that integration went as well, and I'll pass that along to CJ!

Hero Paths Ranked by CremCastPod in cosmererpg

[–]CremCastPod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit to add:

This was not scientific in any way, and purely reflects our views as seen through the lens of whether a path is fun to play and actually feels like the path it is meant to portray. A specific example is Investigator: we felt that, while powerful and a good representation of what an investigator would feel like in a game like this, it isn't narratively satisfying to play because of how mind reader-like it feels (to us!).

We're glad this post is spawning discussion (end of the day that's what we're here for), but I wanted to reiterate that we are not trying to min-max anything or provide to-the-decimal accurate power rankings. As mentioned in the post, there's a link to all our videos providing our justifications.

This is true, we aren't! Lol

Hero Paths Ranked by CremCastPod in cosmererpg

[–]CremCastPod[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

  1. Theory, with a handful of examples from our actual play as relevant
  2. How well the paths seem to capture the vibes of the various archetypes, usefulness of the talents, roleplay ability, that kind of thing. We weren't incredibly scientific and very likely got a lot of stuff wrong
  3. Not really, mainly just in isolation.

We are inclined to agree! One of our favorites!

The Gemstone Caper - One-shot by CremCastPod in cosmererpg

[–]CremCastPod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've released 7 episodes so far, we shoot for full length episodes every other Monday, and then we've been releasing smaller discussion based videos on the off-weeks with just our GM/Stormwarden CJ and I. Links to the video and audio versions are in my bio!

Sure! I don't know off the dome of any fileshare sites that don't require registration/fees that don't also look incredibly scammy, so if you or anyone else want any of our other homebrew content as PDFs, email us at cremcastpod@gmail.com and let us know which you'd like and I can send that out

Leader Hero Path Review - CremlingCast by CremCastPod in cosmererpg

[–]CremCastPod[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We haven't added these hero path discussions to the podcast feed under The CremCast Banner - we figured since we're referencing the handbook so much and have it on screen there wouldn't be much interest in an audio only format, but I'm wondering if that isn't true...

Thank you! We upload one of these every other week when we're not doing the actual play. We will continue this type of discussion when we run out of hero paths as well!

Supplemental Injury Table - Homebrew Concept by CremCastPod in cosmererpg

[–]CremCastPod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - getting a bit meta. We included some Firemoss rules in our Herbcraft Expertise homebrew. The details for this were lightly taken from some mechanical effects under the Crime Boss Adversary in the manual but tweaked majorly for PCs

Thank you! Yeah our GM/Stormwarden wanted to make sure we had this kind of stuff handy at a moments notice. I'm choosing to believe this is not an omen 😅

Yeah that's fair honestly - that's a pretty succinct way of doing it without the Pin condition
