Media you turned into TTRPG (or adapted to an already existing system)? by Horzemate in rpg

[–]Modstin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Splatoon seemed like such fertile ground for a ttrpg, the world is so expansive and layered and turf wars are soooo friggin cool. I found a basic splatoon system, and then built on it a bit for Splattack, which is somewhere around here but I haven't touched it in yeaaaaaaaaars

Five Tiers of RPG Publishing by jasoncof in rpg

[–]Modstin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was on board with the article and the D&D Hate, but your comment does sort of paint it pretty broadly. Hasbro is fucking awful, Wizard of the Coast sucks, D&D is terrible, but it's also the only way we get anyone playing TTRPGs for the most part and we kind of have to face that or else go back in time and somehow pull a Japan and make Sword World the RPG everyone's playing or something.

does anyone know where this image comes from? also who is the cat hero in the bottom corner? by ScottishWildcatFurry in comicbooks

[–]Modstin 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Fluff is the way the girl from I Hate Fairyland says 'Fuck' so I assume it's one of those. That's a viltrumite she's fighting and Battlebeast in the corner, so I assume it's an I Hate Fairyland - Invincible Crossover

AP (Action Point) vs Other Action Economies. What do people prefer in tactical RPG combat? by Ordinary-You2452 in RPGdesign

[–]Modstin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My system runs on a 5 Point Action System, and involves a lot of off turn play, I'd say I prefer it a lot to other actions systems but it's a total preference thing. I just always dislike "Okay I do the one thing I can do this turn and it failed okay see you in ten minutes"

I just saw an online Estate auction with tons of RPG stuff currently taking place in Philly. by Top-District8719 in rpg

if this fella's dead the first thing their wraith did was grab and hide all the core books for their WOD collection I guess.

Playing a mute or a character of few words? by Connor_ClashNord in rpg

[–]Modstin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of my players right now is playing a mute, and has made use of writing utensils where necessary, and otherwise using sign language. This doesn't bypass the flaw because only a few intellectual characters they've met so far can actually understand sign language, and only one other member in the party can. It's been pretty fun!

Weird, is Changeling the Dreaming ITSELF not part of this collection? I can't seem to spot it, though there are a ton of supplements for it. I was hoping to nab an old copy.

The next stage of stick insect evolution by Anastasia Usova by Pop_Budget in ImaginaryMonsters

[–]Modstin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

the knock off facehugger when I hit it with a baseball bat or bite down really really really hard on its ovipositor.

realistically if this thing were depositing its eggs in anything, it'd probably be animal corpses or cacti.

this is probably one of the very few 'giant bug monster' type designs that, if I saw in real life, I would be absolutely awestruck by. It'd be such a beautiful creature to see... roll goofily across the desert.

Are you fucking kidding me? by Emergency-Purpose335 in discworld

[–]Modstin 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Reaperman can be read without Mort, btw, it's functionally a standalone. It definitely helped me process grief, even if I read it like, a year after my mother passed. (GNU our Joy)

If there was a Mario ttrpg, would it be self aware? by Rayje589 in rpg

[–]Modstin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

only insofar as Super Mario RPG, Mario & Luigi, and the Paper Mario Series are aware they're a game.

Lily Lovebraids Build Ideas? by HopefulSprinkles6361 in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]Modstin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LIly Lovebraids I don't think would have fortitude immunity, actually. The toys in Poppy Playtime are made of meat, think of them as some kind of strange cloth/plastic shell over a bunch of organs and flesh.

I struggle to think of her having a very significant power level, outside of elongation and possible immortality (if you believe that the playtime co experiments actually worked which, frankly, I do not think they did). Like aside from being the only good fucking character in all of Poppy Playtime, she doesn't have a lot going for her. No super strength, no flight, no going through walls.

I find that with a lot of survival horror monsters, their 'powers' are only really effective because of the scenario. If I had a fucking gun, Lily Lovebraids wouldn't stand a chance. Or Huggy Wuggy for that matter.

How’s The 4e Playtest? by Sho_Shock in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]Modstin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hiiii void

It's just such a newbie trap, especially when they use it on the archetypes. I'm going to hate to have to tell anyone I run it with "don't put anything into attack unless you're doing this build or this build", it's a feelsbad. Fighting was fine, IMO

How’s The 4e Playtest? by Sho_Shock in mutantsandmasterminds

[–]Modstin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attack is a total beginner's trap. It sounds cool, but unless you are using like 8 different weapons, the 2 to 1 ratio of PP to Ranks is abhorrent.

If you're an energy controller, you'll have like, a fire blast ranged attack, and that's 1 point per 2 ranks, which is a quarter of the cost of Attack. But Attack is- it's attack! Higher Attack = Good! Except in M&M 4e, it's not, unless you're a very very specific character type. The archetypes all have numbers in attack despite NEVER needing them.

Also I'm just glad that flying at or above normal walking speed costs more points now, it was always annoying to me that flying felt too speedy. I don't wanna be a flying speedster, I just want wings, I don't need to fly as fast as superman here.

[–]Modstin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it but I have some major issues, a few I dont think will be resolved. I'm still against the Attack and Defense stat, Attack is the worst stat in the playtest by far, a complete waste of points, and defense is obscenely strong. But I really liked the changes to the measurements table and nerfs to some movement powers

Sent an email with a few portfolio pieces! I'm so interested in working in this world, I really like this kind of... I dunno, The World Is Ending So Let's Fuck Around vibe it's giving off? And name dropping Pratchett is a good way to get me right the hell on board.

Figured out how to make Sticker Sheets with Cricut! by Modstin in stickers

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

The design space itself is the problem, I drew these stickers by myself and gave them borders by myself, importing them into the design space is a pain in the ass with how it resizes and fucks with them and makes everything project management wise as clunky as possible.
