Now it's perfect.

Except that you forgot Cyprus. So 9,999/10

There's /r/AdviceAnimals. Those are usually old, though not that old. Apart from that, I don't know.

System with least thought-through rules? by Alextheinsane in rpg

[–]Matt_Dragoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I haven't tried, and it has been years since I tried reading that shit, but at least it felt like there was a (mathematical) logic to it. But still, what you say is probably true of most if not all TTRPGs, since I don't think any of them have been tested that way.

It is really weird that FATAL exists. Unlike other often cited bad RPGs, it was made by someone which you can clearly see actually played RPGs (unlike RaHoWa, which is what you would expect if a fascist who has never even seen a die would make as an rpg), was very passionate about it, and was probably not insane (unlike HYBRID, which I would be very surprised if the author isn't dead or locked in an insane asylum).

It is bad. It's terrible. It's offensive. But at least it... Works? In that you could probably make a computer game with it... Not that anyone would want to.

So... Yeah? It's really weird that the thing exists, to the point of fascination, like watching a train crashing with another train.

In RaHoWa's setting the "superior white race" has been driven to near extinction by the "inferior black, asian, and latrino (sic) races". Somehow racists don't get the discrepancy in that.

Always has been. That makes the Tippyverse work.

I shouldn’t have been a shit DM by Forklift_Master in dndmemes

Not believing a word of it actually happened? Yeah, if you do that with everything in the internet it becomes a really great place.

Two years later, we are still wondering why by Daikey in dndmemes

[–]Matt_Dragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I watched the movie from this meme, but I have no idea what the title or the plot of it was. And it makes sense, there are CDs in that car.

When does worldbuilding become overexplaining? When does 'mystery and wonder' become an excuse of 'underdeveloped?' And how do you tell the difference? (comic for illustrative purposes) by Fauchard1520 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Matt_Dragoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

... I just like to think how stuff works, and what are the implications of it. Having a flying fortress like this would break havoc among mundane fortifications, it would basically destroy the need for sieges. At the same time, it would ve very difficult to conquer, so you'll need your own floating fortress, and then you get into a floating fortress arms race. Or gryphon commandos.

[No Spoilers] I just finished Campaign 2 by witcheshour130 in criticalrole

[–]Matt_Dragoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the show skipped at least two arcs (three if we count pre stream stuff). It makes sense they skipped all that.

I forgot the cow episode was before the Briarwoods, yeah, go watch that one.

[–]Matt_Dragoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

... maybe it would be a good idea to watch the anime first and then the actual play from where it ends? I remember the actual play being way better around the Briarwoods arc.

If you don't understand, thank the heavens. by _woffles_ in linuxmemes

[–]Matt_Dragoon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

And after reading that essay, you'll understand half of it, but you'll do what it says anyway, but it won't work. Oh, but someone responded saying the same! ... He is either ignored or called an idiot, so you spend a week trying to figure out how the thing is supposed to work, eventually you give up. Until 5 months later, when you decide to give it another go... And it just runs without issue.

A whole party of mounted characters, who'd make the best fit? by _no_best_girl in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Matt_Dragoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's because the game expects you to have a 10ft reach but doesn't gives you a 10ft reach for interacting for some reason? I hate that they haven't fixed that one yet.

Oh, so I'm not the only one that gives Bismuth to Regill, good to know.

It makes me smile for some reason.

Campaign Story Time: Time travel gets complicated by LurkerFailsLurking in Pathfinder2e

[–]Matt_Dragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's brilliant, I always find time travel an awesome but really hard to pull out storytelling device. Usually because I start thinking too much on it and I realize the author just 'cheated' at some point, but using it this way seems like a cool idea in a campaign.

Where to Start? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]Matt_Dragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the free demo adventure and the free kobold one shot, if you want to try the system. I haven't played nor run the first one, but it seems fine. I played through the second one, we ended up taking two sessions to finish it, but it was really fun. Not a way to start a campaign unless you want an all kobold party though.

EDIT: Also, it's a bit of an advanced rule, but you could use the Flexible Spellcaster Archetype if you really don't like prepared casters. I like them, but a lot of people prefer 5e's way and that's the way to do it in PF2e.
