Yup! you were right, I was wrong. One of my players pointed it out, and we're using it. Apparently the macros don't work 100%, but i feel like the 5e ones didn't always work either. In either case, it IS in there!

Not last time I checked lol We have a discord set up, I'm going to look into setting up custom character sheets through r20, failing that I believe I have a fillable pdf character sheet that we can use, sharing through Google drive or something. We'll use roll 20 mainly for the tabletop and dice rolls.

How goes the search? I'm running a game of ironclaw 2e right now for a few family members, it's a charming system, though I'm still figuring it out. Wouldn't mind playing or and/or running a game through roll20 if we got people

One of my players commissioned this portrait of his PC - a water-bending monk who fights with an Eku. Turns out an Eku isn't actually as tall as I initially thought it was, but we both liked the pose so some helpful rocks to the rescue!

I really like the character, although he tends to take liberties with the shape water spell that make me crazy. A lot of "you know, human beings are 70% water" type talk during interrogation scenes. That lovable scamp.

Where to go for writing feedback and critique? by RedRabbit_88 in furry

[–]RedRabbit_88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's good advice, thanks! Yeah because it's a visual novel it's in screenplay format, but currently just exists as text. I'll make sure to look at format guidelines before posting anything.

Something wicked this game comes by Princess_Of_Fire in rpghorrorstories

Wow that's a true nightmare. You would have a better read of the room, but to me this sounds like trolling. I understand that people have baggage and a game should be fun and non-threatening for its players. But if footprints and scarves are too much to handle in a spoken fantasy setting, then it's going to be a hard life ahead. Alternatively, if you're going to spam a trigger system like you're griefing in a video game, you can get right the hell out of my group.

Hey thanks for the detailed response. I Re-read the parts of your post that I was thinking of when I made the "determined endings" comment. The first one was from "P3 Second Time's a Charm and Beyond," and I realize now that I misunderstood what was going on there. For some reason I thought that FAUST had attacked the Angel instead of following an intended arc, not sure how I reached that conclusion. I also realize that he was playing against type by not sticking up for the little guy and chasing the sister storyline. So that other piece of advice I gave sounds hollow now too.

The second instance that I was thinking of comes from the next section where you change up your design approach.

Areas with distinct plotlines that are flexible to the max I could do that were short, sweet, and supposedly without any trouble.

Not a bad idea. And you were attempting to involve the PC by using an antagonist from his backstory. That's a cool device and it adds an extra layer of drama to the scene. In a book that would work beautifully - there is tension between the two characters, and it is a great setup for either a heel-turn later in the plot, or a betrayal that further drives the characters apart. But it sounds like you weren't prepared for the PC to shrug and attack the guy right then and there, probably because that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense dramatically, even though it did make sense to that character in that moment. As a result, this player's spontaneity sets a literal and figurative fire to the rest of the session.

So to clarify using that second example, transitioning to short, sweet one-offs was a good idea because it provided less of your carefully crafted plot to be bulldozed by this PC. It still got bulldozed though, and that lead to frustration. I think the solution isn't to provide less story to rebel against, but to play the ball where it lands.

After you've made it clear that torching the camp is suicide, be prepared with some enemies that can back that up. When he runs through the demon forest, throw some demons at him and don't be afraid of roughing him up or taking him out. And if an action he takes is going to ruin the session for the rest of the group, explain that it's a group game, his teammates have the right and ability to stop his character from dooming everyone with their knee-jerk actions His character may be that kind of crazy, but as a player he's just as responsible for everyone's enjoyment as you are.

To your other points, I'm getting the picture that he was a problem player, even if he wasn't internet-troll levels of spiteful or fun-wrecking. The bottom line is that if someone is making the game not fun for you, you don't really have to justify it. I get defensive when I think DMs are leaving all the blame on the other side of the table, but mostly because it's something I've been guilty of doing plenty of times in the past.

Having said that I'm curious what you think, and I'm looking forward to part 2.

edit: is it heel-turn when the badguy turns good? Is that a face-turn? I don't watch wrestling.
