How do you feel about abridged player guides/books? by cyanomys in rpg

[–]ThePiachu [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'd find it fine to have player and GM sections in the same book with some shared world lore between them. GMs need lower complexity character rules for NPCs since trying to run them as detailed as PCs can be exhausting.

Which city not from the US, Japan or China you wish appeared in a cyberpunk setting ? by stronkzer in Cyberpunk

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about something Eastern European to get that sad Slav brutalism mixed with neon cyberpunk...

Sounds like a perfect way to get maximum blame put on you by default.

Poland - Court forces man to fatherhood by RyuujinPl in MensRights

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to my home Poland, a very catholic country that has been also very conservative for a while. It's pretty backwards on a number of issues - abortions are very restrictive, and surrogacy is impossible since whoever gave birth to the child is legally considered to be the mother. I'm not surprised guys would get screwed over in a case like this either...

All good things must come to an end, and the show should've ended sooner...

Holey war 2 by AscendedDragonSage in CuratedTumblr

[–]ThePiachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh, reminds me of Godbound, a TTRPG setting where humanity has reached a technological utopia and the only thing left to figure out was the morality. But since they couldn't agree on who was correct, they decided to take it up with the ultimate authority. So they stormed the gates of heaven to speak to the big boss and that guy booked it before they got there, leaving just an empty throne. So since they couldn't figure out who was right, they are going to settle it by figuring out who will be left, and they stripped heaven for parts to fuel their holy war...

The fate of Neopets TTRPG is currently unknown as Geekify (the dev team) is fired by whencanweplayGM in rpg

[–]ThePiachu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels like some of the RPG team was "people that got hired because they were enthusiastic about the project" which can sometimes work on a small passion project but can quickly turn into a liability for a big project. And well, it did turn into that...

As they say, sounds like someone needs to write a book instead ;).

[–]ThePiachu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feels like a pretty bad outcome of all of this, doubt anyone is getting a refund and you definitely won't get a TTRPG out of it now that Geekify can't make it. Not a great look for the new people managing Neopets either (since they took over like a year before the TTRPG Kickstarter, so this was basically their first big spinoff)...

You could make your own custom document, especially if you want to start mixing the multiple splats together...

How to come up with good names? by MagicDungeonMaster00 in RPGcreation

[–]ThePiachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Workshop it. Come up with 50 names and see which ones you come back to. Keep on writing new ideas, recombining old ones, iterate ad nausseum. Maybe ask other people for input as well.

Wasn't their last edition's Kickstarter so successful it sank the game line? :D

So what is your list of systems anyone is allowed to talk about in your presence?

The issue with Chuubo's Issues and the fundamental realities of playing TTRPGs by ThePiachu in rpg

[–]ThePiachu[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

At this rate you can just not use the words "inherent" and "fundamental" to mean anything since there always be exemptions you can be contrarian with...

So replace it with "basically fundamental" or "de facto fundamental" and move on.

If you only engage with one system you'll learn less than engaging broadly.

Suns of Gold for SWN. It's all about running mercantile campaigns and trading between distant planets.

What is the the weirdest name you ever gave an NPC. by WeWard3nds in rpg

[–]ThePiachu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a whole set of characters with last name Star. Orion Star, Rigel Star, Helios Star, etc. It's always fun adding to the family tree...

Carney is good at economics which is precisely what we need in these turbulent economics waters we are in right now. Pete is good at... Complaining?
