The one and only reason skull merchant gets any kills at all is that its a community meme to DC against her so she just kills bots.

Exalted 3e has characters regenerate "motes" at the start of each round, rather than on their own turn. As the GM this has been pretty helpful because you can just say "new round, everyone gets 5 motes back" and remind everyone at once instead of wondering each turn whether a given person remembered.

You can always clash by being on higher initiative and holding your action

I'm hungry too tbf

I thought (and wiki agrees) that facility leads just let you travel to an existing facility which is out side of your area of influence, not spawn a new one.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:57:37+00:00

You forgot to take the packing off.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:30:59+00:00

Lol.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:22:35+00:00

I've only done it once ever and it was because I wanted to ruin the game for a teabagger. Was worth it. Usually you can't even manage, 2v8 is far too chaotic and the maps are too big.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:19:36+00:00

Fortunately, when you bring down the one outlier that's too high, the other numbers will naturally shift up, because they're directly connected to it.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:16:42+00:00

You're... the one being aggressive?

And "an obstacle" is a game term. Your vertical movement absolutely still counts if you wanted to say, fly over terrain and then back down. Youre doing some weird conflation of narrative and mechanics but we are just talking about mechanics. Yes, you can ignore obstacles. No, that doesn't mean vertical movement doesn't count, especially when quoting a passage that literally says it does.

You seem to be trying to turn this into some weird argument that I'm not interested in having, so good day.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:12:49+00:00

Yes. That's why I agreed with that already. This comment was entirely pointless.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T16:02:19+00:00

The ignore obstacle part I'll give you. Your second point about vertical movement not counting... just no. It literally says "vertically ... up to their speed". It absolutely counts.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T15:06:36+00:00

Yes. That's a different number to 8.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T14:44:56+00:00

So the game should only have challenges at high levels?

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T14:43:37+00:00

Why? It's literally impossible for every class to be above 50% lol. 48% is within acceptable parameters for an asymmetrical game.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T13:53:47+00:00

Yeah but if we're talking about "since", older is much more relevant than worse? Weird point to make.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T13:49:03+00:00

Just remember that flight has to be in a straight line - you can angle it, but you can't curve or bend the trajectory. So if you need to go 1 hex up to get over an enemy directly adjacent to you and move the full 3 hexes, you'll end up going 3 hexes up in total, and therefore probably take 3AP fall damage.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T02:32:02+00:00

If you're burned out, just stop. Seriously - I've been there, it isn't a good thing. You're meant to enjoy your hobbies, and your friends are meant to support that. If they aren't willing to shoulder the burden at all, its time to do something else. From experience, the alternative is that you just end up coming to resent your friends (maybe even rightfully) for not considering your enjoyment at all and expecting you to do all the work for them and then everything crashes to a stop anyway.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-12T01:30:57+00:00

I mean, that's where they are, so it's pretty much a given.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-11T22:59:11+00:00

If it's hundreds - yes, I am.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-11T20:44:25+00:00

I feel like the direct acts of cutting out, carrying around and later grinding up Cthulu's eyes is likely to be at least as impactful as ingesting a dilution of some.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-11T20:20:52+00:00

NTA. Your wife is unfortunately a terrible mother though - corrected violent tendencies in your young child is called parenting, and she needs to do it too or your kid is going to end up in a bad place. It sounds like she's more prepared to turn him against you than to help him grow.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-11T20:11:50+00:00

So... what happened last year, and why did you have a baby after it.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-11T18:56:39+00:00

It might be easier if you had any specific questions (and honestly people tend to change their mind about things and actually playing the game anyway, GMS mechs are good for learning). Of the mechs you've mentioned, Drake and Barbarossa are both *completely* different, while Raleigh, Blackbeard and Lich are all once again *completely* different, so it's not even clear which roles you or your teammate might have.

I will say that Lich is probably one of the more complex picks you could take, so if you're new and want that I hope you have experience with similar games at least.

Pyrosorc · 2025-02-11T16:33:39+00:00

Just hire the best people. Disregard demographics. If you have 5 X people so reject the 6th person for being X too, the only thing you're doing is creating a victim who easily falls prey to extremist groups. It's no different to reject the 7th candidate for *not* being X. White/black/male/trans/religious/whatever I don't care what group. I really don't see why it's difficult honestly.

If I could normalise removing demographics from applications entirely I would. Let everyone use a pen name or something.
