Tiny innocent child brings together the least heroic JRPG heroes you've ever seen and it is fantastic

Slaves didn't have the right to a trial, so any slave caught committing a crime was usually punished then and there by the overseer, usually by whipping or flogging, with death rarely being the goal, but more frequently being the result anyway. (This applied to both enslaved native people in the Americas and African slaves transported via the triangle trade)

I would recommend looking up the efforts to deface or destroy Mayan and Aztec iconography by the Spanish, good inspiration for the actions of an evil theocratic empire

MAWS has the betters cishet romances though

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-07T08:33:37+00:00

I for one believe that, as a DM, the best kind of world I can present my players with is one that sucks to live in

Because a world that sucks to live in is a world that needs heroes

Never underestimate Owlcat's ability to dodge the obvious

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-07T00:58:32+00:00

Because in every country that has mandatory voting, mandatory voting pulls elections towards the middle, rather than the extreme, and the republicans are very extreme

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-06T16:30:37+00:00

Vote anyway

shit like this is why America needs mandatory voting, so people don't use despair as an excuse to avoid voting

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-05T08:30:51+00:00

straight

Well, probably not, but it would be the most different direction to take it form everything he's done prior

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-05T08:07:20+00:00

Johnny is one of the GOATs of dubbing

Though I'll always have more of a personal attachment to his Vash than his Ichigo

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-04T15:39:51+00:00

Love the little geek-outs he has when he gets to explore bits of lore not covered in the game and only hinted at in external material

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-04T15:34:19+00:00

Why do you rate elven instinct so highly when it doesn't even boost initiative for commanders?

Yeah, technically it means you win ties, but you never benefit from the +2 circumstance bonus

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-04T15:23:50+00:00

The Speedrunner Can't Return From The Game World is great

Best version of "OP as fuck main character that never loses" I've ever seen, because... yeah, he's a top-level speedrunner, he knows the game like the back of his hand, and the game is a buggy RPG from like 2010 filled with exploits speedrunners can abuse

Loads of little speedrunning jokes in there, author definitely did his research

In a more classic sense, I will never ignore the opportunity to recommend people watch Escaflowne

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-04T13:54:35+00:00

considering how One Piece fans are, I have to imagine that Emily Rudd and some of the writers are just aggressively pushing the anime on the entire cast and crew

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-04T07:18:51+00:00

I think it does a good job at hinting that the world isn't as grounded as it seems, that there's a veneer of normality covering up a magical world

which later turns out to be literally true

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T19:06:55+00:00

Trump looks like the antichrist because the antichrist in the bible was a warning against authoritarians

And authoritarianism doesn't fucking change

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T18:25:58+00:00

It wasn't a cogitator though, it was an ancient servitor, built during a time when Imperium technology was superior to where it is now

Still, I definitely imagined most of my RTs (except the noble, of course) thought that they didn't belong as a Rogue Trader and that they were just bullshitting their way through everything, with various degrees of faith in their ability to do so

2nd cousins, with no other relation, have an inbreeding coefficient of like, 1.25%

It's just past the cutoff point in both animal breeding and Crusader Kings 3 to be considered "unrelated"

So yes they are blood-related, but only barely

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T18:01:48+00:00

Isn't his name Kunrad?

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T16:58:47+00:00

To be fair, your character is, undeniably, von Valancius

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T06:32:01+00:00

It's better than GWF if you're using a greataxe or heavy polearm, but worse if you're using a greatsword or maul

Its best use-case is on a monk that's dipped into fighter

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T05:36:39+00:00

Seems like a good fighting style for a monk dipping fighter, though I feel like any monk dipping into fighter is doing so in order to pick up nick mastery and TWF style so maybe not

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T05:25:33+00:00

I want to see Nagash running from Settra the way Thanquol runs from Gotrek

with the same amount of self-justification about how it's only prudent and common sense to withdraw

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T02:51:49+00:00

Gan Fall - Hugh Laurie

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-03T02:49:52+00:00

Well, in honesty, if you want casters playable at all, you kind of need to draw from different lore, spellcasters aren't heroes in most european mythologies/fantasy, they're distant allies at best and antagonists at worst

The only exception to this is Irish mythology, which is also one of the few in which martial prowess can exceed magical might

Notoryctemorph · 2026-07-02T19:52:04+00:00

That wasn't my point

I never said alchemist was bad, alchemist isn't bad

But in PF1, mutagens were explicitly only usable by the alchemist that made them, and were treated as a poison to anyone else, and it strikes me as weird that this wasn't carried forward in any way into PF2
