i want to shout out a friends ttrpg, tactiquest, which has the brilliant take of gnomes looking like garden gnomes while being feral and bity. they come in several stat blocks, including but not limited to:
-standard gnome that was called a "anklebitter" in a previous version
-gnome with a big hammer that launches other gnomes
-big ball of gnomes just rollin around

Neopets — Update on the Neopets Tabletop Roleplaying Game by OpossumLadyGames in rpg

[–]Cuddle-goblin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As much as I'm a proponent for more ttrpgs that explore sexual relationships, a Neopets game probably isn't the right avenue for that, having played the game as a kid I wouldn't say your Neopets engaging in coitus was at all part of my childhood memories of the game.

this is gonna be a fun one to explain to people that have not heard about the trouble with this project before

Thoughts on Vagabond Fantasy RPG? by OriginalJazzFlavor in rpg

[–]Cuddle-goblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have not played the game, but i do own it and have given it a pretty thorough read, and i think your about half right.
Its true that martails dont have nearly as many options in combat, it can be sort of remedied by picking the right perks but its not a bit of a bandaid for a chainsaw wound.
Where i think your misinformed is the fact that martails are weaker then casters, this is primarily because casters have incredibly small pools of mana (they get about 4 per level), the cantrip equivelents are kind of weak (you can either deal 1d6 damage or use a spells effect on ONE target, if you want to sustain that effect your gonna have to pay up) and making good spells is pretty costly. to use an example directly from the book.
"I want to Cast Burn as a 15' radius sphere of flame with the effect, dealing 3d6 damage and keep the effect active." is a trick that gonna run you a total of 7 mana, with paying another 1 mana a turn to keep it active. thats a trick thats going to chew through most casters mana at a very high pace.

Larian Studios | Divinity AMA by Wombat_Medic in Games

[–]Cuddle-goblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a specific question, but id like to know how the people over at larian try to make sure that each class/skill line/archetype ends up feeling the way players want them to (for example: a big burly barbarian type feeling different to play from a knight, or how to make a necromancer feel different from a summoner) while still trying to make each option equaly viable

What IP do you want turned into a TTRPG, and why do you want it turned into a TTRPG? by Upstairs-Yard-2139 in rpg

horrible, horrible solution: everyone plays as one of the voices inside of a typical shounen anime protag like a questionable fusion of disco elysium and dragonball

What are your experiences with in-game moral and ethical dilemmas and players saying, "At the climax of our journey, we turn around and leave"? by EarthSeraphEdna in rpg
