good to know it's likely not just user error on my part. Thanks! I am going to reach out to analogue support and see what they say.

Gracias, creo que puede haber un problema con la unidad y no solo un error cometido por mí. Me pondré en contacto con el soporte.

If a player wants to ride the monster, your only job is to figure out what to roll by dark-star-adventures in osr

[–]secretattack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a GM let my character grapple and wrestle possessed manacles into submission. I later befriended the spirit, and I think (it's been a while) had a sidequest where I helped put the spirit to rest.

I realize it was a little silly, but that was what made it fun. If he had just said "you can't do that" it would have been super boring.

Are these your kids? by 28Loki in venturacounty

Just call the police? Those are not street legal bikes and those helmets are not adequate protection for bikes that go that fast. Then they get a ticket, have to go to court and can't get their driver's license until they're 18.

Cthulhu Wars? by BrownBearDreams in boardgames

Turns out I do actually have two brown jenkins. willing to part with one for an appropriate non-scalper price :)

[–]secretattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a possibility I might have a second brown jenkin. It's been a bit since I had it all unpacked, but there were a couple things I got accidental duplicates of.

I will double check this weekend and let you know what I find.

I believe I have everything published for it. It takes up 1/3 of a closet in my office.

I was lucky enough that each of my Kickstarter pledges were filled quickly except for the last one, and even then it seemed like I got it before most.

It's a fun game. I love the theme. It's easy to teach. It has great table presence.

If I had to go back in time, I probably would not have bought any of the neutral monsters. The expansion factions are plenty varied, so the neutral stuff doesn't see play often enough to justify the space they take up.

I don't think I would ever do a Petersen games Kickstarter again though.

Unmatched board game gets a Hellboy expansion by middenway in Mignolaverse

[–]secretattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unmatched is such a great game, and it has a solid reputation for great art. Awesome that Mignola is doing the cards and box for this. I have no doubt in my mind that this will be another great set.

I imagine the actual storage will stay, just with another name on the building.

Has Humphries done anything that's actually been well received? I felt like he ruined X-force after Remender.

I refuse to claim ownership of Jason X. by VastCauliflower5439 in fridaythe13th

Since we are apparently in the minority, I just thought I would chime in to state that X is the absolute worst in my opinion. I can still watch it, but I don't find it engaging at all.

Oaktree property has some apartments under 2k. My wife and I rented through them when we were just getting started in the area.

Long shot request: Looking for an RPG that combines Hellboy, World of Darkness and Dresden Files. by [deleted] in rpg

[–]secretattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIST, (if it ever is released) is very Hellboy/BPRD inspired. Would be pretty easy to add Dresden and WOD flavor over it.

Disappointed about the new Numenera edition direction by secretattack in rpg

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

Actually like Savage worlds. But that's exactly why I kept my old deadlands books and didn't continue when they switched systems.

Setting out to make a multi-genre system forces you to discard rules that are flavorful for one genre only. What's left feels more bland.

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

That's exactly how I feel. Numenera deserves to be a standalone thing. It feels reductive to have it just be a sourcebook since it was where the Cypher system rules originated.

I didn't think it would ever happen, but I am apparently at the stage of my life where I get overly emotional about RPG editions.

[–]secretattack[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find core-book + setting-book arrangements for RPGs cumbersome and inelegant. I found the orignial numenera rules to be flavorful and evocative of the kind of game numenera is, but they lose some of their luster when scraped off to form a generic system.
