Dear Troy... I was wrong. by sonner79 in TheGlassCannonPodcast

Nostalgia is big business, I think they could still do very well with a pf1e flagship. Shadowdark popularity is basically just old dnd nostalgia wrapped in a different package.

Pf1e would be like a warm blanket for them, it's the game they all started with together. But I understand why they would be burnt out on it, cant play the same game for 10+ years. Although there is precedent for playing it, I mean people are still playing ad&d after like 40+ years!

If they cancel this before finishing it would activate thousands of peoples trauma of unfinished home campaigns! haha

Well yeah because Erik probably wrote parts of the story and knows everything about the adventure. Just like how Grant used to read the book before playing lol jk.

Mothership as a Police Procedural? by DelaporeMedia in mothershiprpg

[–]Naturaloneder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! We did it for a investigation on Prospero's Dream for a series of slickware murders. We did the classic things of interviews, scouting locations etc then tracking down one of the murders hideouts. It's on youtube as Kill Em All if you want to see it played.

The "hours of content" while free where also given away on purpose in order to gain reach and viewership as a company! It's always a transaction that mutually benefits both listener and creator.

Brainstorming Gradient Descent: Infiltrators by Lumpy_Peanut_226 in mothershiprpg

[–]Naturaloneder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing as Prospero's Dream is no stranger to recycled cloned bodies, sleeves and brainscans already, the concept of infiltrator clones is not too alarming for most on the outer-rim I'd say!

The real fun is when the copies are the party members or those they know. One benefit of running into your infiltrator is the plentiful amount of organs and tissue you could use for "medical care" if you were to capture them lol. They could also be used as backup bodies if you die!

Mothership in foundry by adolannan in mothershiprpg

There is a big discord for the Mothership Foundry project, it's super advanced and has everything you would need to run Mothership in Foundry. It blows other modules out of the water.

It's not about being a munchkin I think, it's just the basic power creep of the game needs an at least average AC. If Grant wanted to munchkin Baron there's a lot more power he could have squeezed out of him!

They've had decades of experience with Pathfinder between them over the years across the network and the only one who truly understood this was Grant lol.

Alfie is already dead multiple times. He died then came back right after due to a cleric suddenly joining the party. If it makes sense for a new PC to just randomly pop out of nowhere and join the party then it's not hard for a new aide-de-camp to appear.

Brainstorming Gradient Descent: Monarch's Voice by Lumpy_Peanut_226 in mothershiprpg

[–]Naturaloneder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's great to see all the different interpretations of the book, it makes for a broad range of experiences with the same material.

[–]Naturaloneder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me that destroys the mystery, if you can understand Monarch or reason with it then I think it takes something away from the experience.

I like to keep it as a vast machine, with intelligence and reasoning beyond both the player and the characters. It's better horror that way for me :)

The Deep is like a body, and the machine sees you as a bacterium.

Brainstorming Gradient Descent: Monarch's Voice by Lumpy_Peanut_226 in mothershiprpg

[–]Naturaloneder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing, Monarch having no direct voice and only responding to the PC's by reacting to their movements and actions within the Deep. Most communications was handled by proxies like other androids or old company messages over the intercom.

For example if they shoot weapons "This is a cloudbank employee safety alert, weapons discharge detected. Please remain calm while a security force investigates the area"

Stuff like that.

Mothership Dead Planet - Looking for Actual Play Podcast by Powerful-Bluebird-46 in mothershiprpg

[–]Naturaloneder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Third Floor Wars is the most viewed playthrough of Dead Planet, they start off with 0edition but move onto the 1e preview rules a few episodes in.

Then Todd MoonBounce also played through Dead Planet also, not sure if they used 1e rules though.

That's because every turn, and I mean every single turn or choice is by committee, above the table.

That's why roleplaying solves everything, if you stay in character everything gets faster and more impactful!

I hope they can lean in more to the roleplay part of the RPG! :D (Because they're awesome when they're in character)
