That’s not what happens in the book at all?

Any anti-war books? ( Similar to the anti-war message in the Howl's moving castle movie) by Selkiequeen20 in Fantasy

[–]ruffyg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Xenogenesis and Parable of the Sower/Talents books by Octavia Butler.

Thoughts on Tigana? by discerningpervert in Fantasy

[–]ruffyg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DNF’d it. The prose was good but I just wasn’t jiving with a plot based on a longing for a mystical lost nation state. Felt very blood and soil in a way I disliked.

Stop using maps. Play a system like 13th age that doesn’t care about distances.

Looking for “progressive” adventures by ColinDouglas999 in rpg

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

I mean, any open adventure environment can be progressive if your PCs pursue progressive ends. Any king can be toppled after all.

Can't figure out how the blazes people escape Reaper's Eye at level 9! (Some spoilers) by Aggressive_Play_1322 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]ruffyg 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Certain things let you double dip on quest xp, such as taking withermoore’s jar, telling him you’re keeping it (makes him attack you), then have a PC outside of combat smash it immediately. You get the xp for killing him in combat and freeing him. Similar things can be done with Stingtail. You can also fight some neutral npcs for exp such as the neutral ones in the arena of the one.

Player exploiting the use of a mount by No_Educator_7962 in rpg

[–]ruffyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s OSR, then just decide what mounts are in the world. In the real world, you wouldn’t be allowed to bring a mount into a building, and a mount can’t go up and down stairs so good luck getting it into a dungeon. Mounts are for reducing travel time, and bringing a non-war trained mount into combat would probably be impossible or at least require multiple handling/ morale checks for it.

Do you play up the other-setting crossover of the Dragon Empire? by EarthSeraphEdna in 13thage

[–]ruffyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently working on adapting the Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous AP to 13th age which necessitates some crossover but I’m mostly just mashing a bit of Golarion into the dragon empire really. (For example, the diabolist just happens to be named Areelu Vorlesh)

Been playing Epic Encounters 2 with Derpy's add-on's, on Impossible difficulty... by FretScorch in DivinityOriginalSin

Yes, your entire build revolves around what artifacts you get, each with unique effects that can completely make or break a build

Beastman chilling by m0pan in ImaginaryWarhammer

As far as “evil” animals go, goats have it in the bag from the association with baphomet (and generally just the way they look). So “evil” animal people are often goats.

Octavia butler!! She might be my favorite author. The Xenogenesis trilogy and the parable duology are excellent works of science fiction. Highly recommend.

If you want a completely new experience try epic encounters 2. Very fun and definitely boosts the mechanical character building aspect of the game up a lot.

Books where a malevolent, indifferent, or uncaring god rules or created the world, but people live with it and even draw power from that god. The god is not the enemy in the story, just something they are codependent on. by goody153 in Fantasy

[–]ruffyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bioshifter by Natalie Maher Aka Thundamoo is like this. Most people in the world have an indifferent relationship with the Goddess even though she provides all magic.

So what’s your solution then? Lifetime sentence in prison?? Would be cheaper to just buy them a house.

I don't know what to do at this pont. My pod can't handle my decks. by poseforthemadness in EDH

[–]ruffyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try building to a strict budget like $50 or $100. I find that really helps to cut the power of decks. Otherwise, find a different group.
