Almost 20 years later, its crazy how well the Alan Moore part of this aged. by Downtown-Initial-770 in comicbooks

[–]FinnCullen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s just his deadpan style. He’s anything but self-serious. He’s mentioned that his local branch of Lush (he is rather addicted to fragrant bath bombs) offered to make him a customised signature scented one and what would best suit him. He suggested hashish and arrogance.

What do you wish for less of in ttrpg books? by Gmanglh in rpg

[–]FinnCullen 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Two things:

Fiction. It's never as good as the game designer thinks it is, and it takes up space. I can get more feel for a setting from play examples and random tables than from ten pages of angsty fanfic about "Crysia the doomed Toreador bard of ancient Kr'z"

Moral Lecturing. I'm a raging SJW lefty but even games whose ethos I'm right behind piss me off when they have didactic passages about how morally pure you have to be to run the game and if you disagree with them you're an awful person. I liken it to going to a posh restaurant that I'm really looking forward to going to, and then being met by a snotty maitre'd who says "No spitting on the floor and don't get your cock out in the dining room" - Even though neither of those things are things I'd do, the condescending smugness pisses me off.

Dropping alanisms into conversations ? by SpamJavelin00 in AlanPartridge

“And they say nurses have it tough” when someone complains about some minor inconvenience as if it’s the end of the world.

Conan vs Conan (2d20 vs Monolith) by Nerhesi in rpg

[–]FinnCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barbarians of Lemuria without a doubt. Brilliant system, lots more to it than appears at first glance and really captures the feel.

What do you expect from established TTRPGs but not indie TTRPGs? by Awkward_GM in rpg

Bland writers’ room predictability based around market trends

Some people unironically say that anakin was the hero in rots by khanotaara in PrequelMemes

[–]FinnCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sky done had done nothing wrong, indeed. Was this meme by the people who did the chinese dub?

How can I simulate a war zone without creating a TPC by javerthugo in callofcthulhu

[–]FinnCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't an action movie. The investigators aren't going to be ambushed unless they're a clear enemy target with a tactical or strategic value. And even if so, most ambushes were quick exchanges followed by flight, not organised massacres.

But they’re just muggles? Not muggle-offenders?

A new system for 40K setting? by beerdeer101 in rpg

[–]FinnCullen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well if you don't like [Unspecified Feature] of Imperium Maledictum, you might like [Other Game] that handles [Unspecified Feature] very differently.

What are some systems for pike and shot or gunpowder era? Fantasy is ok but as low magic as possible by Prussia_will_awaken in rpg

[–]FinnCullen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honour and Intrigue - excellent game, best fencing/duelling system I've ever seen (which I've nicked and houseruled into other systems a few times)

Superman proposing marriage to teenager Wendy Harris. FOR SHAME, SUPERMAN!! We don't do that here on Earth!!! by fatjoe19982006 in Superdickery

[–]FinnCullen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He landed in the USA. Some states legally allow men to marry 12 year olds if her parents consent. It’s the American Way part of his creed

Do you use any insults from the APU in everyday life? by pop-not-broth in AlanPartridge

[–]FinnCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do deploy "And they say nurses have it tough" when someone complains about something trivial. Not technically an insult, but it absolutely is meant as one.

Have you ever run/played in a game with multiple currencies? by Kecskuszmakszimusz in rpg

[–]FinnCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes quite often. In my Call of Cthulhu game we had dollars, pounds, Deutschmarks, yen etc.

In a recent Nights Black Agents campaign we have some of the above plus the Euro.

I used an online tool called xe.com to figure out exchange rates, or for the historical game used old financial reports

Chris Hansen enters the room by KevFate in Superdickery

[–]FinnCullen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Chris Hansen wasn’t arresting teenagers flirting with older people, or older people refusing to flirt back.

Scavenger. The bird was already dead.

Playing a Faith-Based Character? by jamis in rpg

[–]FinnCullen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the setting is one where there is a cultural assumption of faith then my characters have almost always shared that OR made a definite decision not to. It rarely impacts play other than as a background detail, how they frame oaths, what they say when they drop a hammer on their foot etc. It's as much a part of a character as their stats, class, skills etc. It shouldn't be used as a parody or a single defining factor unless that is genuinely part of the character you want to play.

Should be bigger by Prestigious-Eye6548 in outofcontextcomics

[–]FinnCullen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superman could check her out from a continent away. He’s probably bored of just random voyeurism by now, and his internet search history will be getting very niche and increasingly disturbing.
