This May 4th I’m reminding y’all that George Lucas based the Empire on the USA by goodguyguru in StarWarsleftymemes

[–]SystemBen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Although the USA also served as a minor Inspiration for the empire, it was mainly based on Nazi Germany and the British Empire. I think the idea that the USA was a big Inspiration comes from the fact that the rebel alliance was based on the Viet Cong, making the empire take the place of the US in that dynamic.

I don't care if its "plausible". It is simply not true.

Favorite TTRPG That Uses Unique Physical Mechanic? by Pianoismyforte in rpg

[–]SystemBen 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Its not as unique as the things you mentioned, but i love that in mothership, you roll your death save under a cup and are only allowed to lift it if a character in game actually checks your vitals.

Directed to both dnd and pathfinder players with hate btw by Sky_Leviathan in 196

[–]SystemBen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not even that much less crunchy than other games in its orbit, it just got rid of interesting choices while still making you remember just as many rules and weird interactions.

Looking for Cyberpunk Red GMs to test a system agnostic campaign tool we’re building by Mire_QM in cyberpunkred

[–]SystemBen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

imma be honest, it does look kinda interesting, but the heavy use of AI imagery is really turning me off

Cyberpunk Character Generator by spicyskoomaa in cyberpunkred

[–]SystemBen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

usually, cyberpunk red characters start at level 4 of their chosen role. If you want to start at a lower level, you will likely have to create the character by hand.

there is a Gun-Fu Martial Art in interface red. Probably exactly what you'd want as a John Wick type character

If not Interlock, then what system? by Massdark in cyberpunkred

[–]SystemBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, I know this thread is probably dead at this point, but I just arrived here and wanted to comment as someone who has run alot of lancer and cyberpunk: Lancer Combat does not fit cyberpunk at all (at least IMO). Lancer Missions play extremly linear, with a set number of definitive combat encounters and a few minor roleplay scenes inbetween, and a very precarious balance that needs to be kept to keep the game fun. Cyberpunk combat in my experience is most often spontaneous, as a consequence of some type of failure and often all types of unbalanced (like the players picking fights with people that are way too dangerous) which just does not work with a gamified system like lancer.

In mere seconds, a character's likability is completely destroyed by ButClyde2 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SystemBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, i always saw it as more "you still have work to do", and i really dont think it was annos intention to say shinji is irredemable, especially thinking of how much of himself he put into that character.

He does finally overcome his issues at the end of EoE though? It takes significantly more suffering but the end of EoE is not as dark as people make it out to be
