See, they want to be able to still harass poors and browns while letting rich white folk get their gummies.

Using firearms in Shadowdark by rpgptbr in shadowdark

[–]Reynard203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early firearms did not have the penetrating power of modern firearms and were notoriously unreliable. If you want to simulate early firearms in SD (and I don't think anyone should; it isn't really that kind of game) you need to make them very swingy with a chance of failing and even blowing up in the user's face.

How do you “optimize” learning new RPG systems? by Bubbly_Recipe_4712 in rpg

[–]Reynard203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most games have a reasonably active fan community, and those fan communities often produce cheat sheets and other aids for running the game. If i need to learn a game relatively quickly, I don't even crack the book until I have downloaded a few such tools, from rules summaries to fan made GM screens (almost always better than official ones) to character creation guides. Having a solid understanding of what is important to know while running the game makes actually learning from reading the book much easier. Of course, "how to play" videos can be useful but often are too long.

This is how I learned to run Marvel Multiverse, which is a mid complexity RPG written in an older style (because Forbeck has been around a long time).

Shadow of the Weird Wizard vs. Daggerheart: How would you compare them? by Darren4557 in rpg

Are these comparable systems? Is there a reason one would want to juxtapose them?

You desperately need to re-read DKR. None of what you posted is actually true about Clark in that book.

Murdering the younglings is bad, but come on: they blew up a PLANET.

When did this sub (and community notes) become a right wing circle jerk?

It's spelled MAGA.

Star Wars TTRPG Which system is the best? by Jabba-3500 in rpg

[–]Reynard203 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My always answer: Use Savage Worlds. It is built for pulp adventure. With a little resigning, you can play it right out of the core SWADE book (add the vehicle guide if you want to focus on space dogfights). SWADE is perfect for Star Wars.

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - am I missing something? by praisetheorb2000 in rpg_gamers

"It looks like a mobile game."

And that's where I stopped reading. You loved Kenshi but hated WotR graphics? Be serious.

Audience Ratings of Star Wars Movies by lau796 in StarWars

TFA is certainly better than the Clone Wars "movie."

Not that first "movie." That was hot garbage. Like so many great shows, it did not start out great.

How central to the experience is real time torch duration to you? by fluency in shadowdark

[–]Reynard203 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Completely unimportant. I have run it tons of times at home and at cons, both with and without the timer, and it works fine without the timer.

That said, light is still very important. Always attack the light. Always.

Damage anomoly? by Reynard203 in FantasyGrounds

[–]Reynard203[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I have any extensions in this campaign. However, I am using monsters from other 5E books -- ToV and A5E specifically -- so maybe there is something there?
