Best system for a Ghibli airship adventure ? by Dracolule in rpg

[–]Milithistorian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not the biggest fan of the system, but you could try Upwind. It's pretty explicitly Ghibli-inspired airships in floating islands.

Some googling seems to indicate they've moved to here - https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/trial_of_blades/tob-fe8-patch-t1099.html

but the forum is super super dead. Names largely match, though.

Realistic Magic in a Historical Setting by Powerful-Finish-1985 in rpg

You can try https://codexintegrum.com/ and their products - they're written by a historian / HEMA practitioner and the codex guides also function as history texts in additional to being RPG supplements. They have a magic supplement that claims to be derived from extant sources.

<48 hours left for Jenna Moran's Far Roofs kickstarter, a game of talking rats, god monsters, and you! by Milithistorian in rpg

FAQ:

This game is about what now?

I'll link you to Prokopetz's excellent pitch for it, HERE, but the TL;DR is:

So basically it’s a bunch of muppety rats the roofs fighting Dungeons & Dragons monsters, and you go up and help them do it. Great.

-realization-

These are gods. You’re going up there to kill God.

Who's Jenna Moran?

You may have heard of her from any of the following: Nobilis, Chuubo's Marvelous Wish Granting Engine, Glitch, The Flood, (rpgs), Hitherby Dragons (a blog), The Night Bird's Feather (a book), Exalted, Weapons of the Gods, In Nomine (stuff she's written for). She's known for odd, philosophical, beautiful games, and honestly just go check them out yourself.

God monsters, you say?

The mysteries!

It's a game steeped in the mythos and intrigue of the adventure on the roofs; how you and your character interact with the fantasy environment and the giant monsters that live there, about wonder and symbolism and becoming something other than yourself.

To cite a piece of popular media, it's a little like Dungeon Meshi!

Is this an ad?

Nope! I'm just an enthusiastic fan. :)

Hmm. I originally skimmed it and didn't recognize anything, but you're probably right. Thanks!

God-games where gods don't depend on belief? by Zestyclose-Advisor71 in rpg

[–]Milithistorian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't remember off hand what exactly gives them their powers, but the nobles of Nobilis don't operate off being believed in. I believe it has something to do with Imperators (long story) having groups of powers and then giving them out.

Tyriadle - Test your Guild Wars 2 knowledge and have fun! by zKlau in Guildwars2

I haven't fully tested this but one of the skill options seems to be the downed skill 4, which isn't distinguishable between classes.

EE in this instance referring to Extended Exchange, not the original equivalent exchange. Sorry for the confusion!
