"Moral" dilemma (ttrpg.network)

To be fair to Barbarian, the guy was a werewolf and Barbarian is racist against werewolves.

I still got videos with titles like "Five Rule Changes that PROVE One D&D just return of Fourth Edition" or "Did Pathfinder 2e Remastered steal these rules from Fourth Edition?". Like a new clickabit fad, declare everything 4e or something.

Despite Margareth Weiss and Tracy Hickman's statement that Krynn has no Lycathropes, Orcs or Drow, TSR would publish a werewolf adventure placed near Daggard Keep in First Edition supplement World of Krynn. I lowkey suspect the Krynnish part of Vecna: Eve of Ruin was a reference to that.

Lessons Learned:

  1. Despite entire fandom constantly talking about the Chaos Gods and threat Chaos poses, most of the Imperial Guard aren't supposed to know anything about it, less alone the specific names.
  2. Despite their enemeis in Sabbath participating commonly in diablerie and fandom making big deal out of what an unforgivable crime it is, it is not something an average Vampire of Carmarilla knows about in any way.

On my last session of d&d combat took too long and I had to apologize for it to my players. One player, who is a Pathfinder 2e player, said it's nothing compared to long fights he had in that system, where between party of high level casters, boss, minions and enemy spellcasters, he would be waiting a whole hour for his next turn. I certainly want to at least have one Pathfinder 2e campaign among options to present to this group after we finish current one, so how much is this a general problem and not his group's problem and are there some ways to avoid this long combat?

I see Hunter the Parenting becomes great source of WoD memes

Didn't knew that. Not using this template in the future, thanks.

I would usually be sad to see another original RPG go 5e compatible but Neuroshima was infamously poorly designed ruleset, possibly worse than Shadowrun. I probably won't be running it, but may steal statblocks for my 5e game if I need weird stuff again.

You could still make hella profit, indeed. but when you are as big as WotC and, more importantly, Hasbro, hella profit may not be enough to make more profit than previous fiscal year. Shareholders only care about growth, not ethics.

If shareholders take you to the court for not prioritizing short-term profit at all costs, are you willing to defend this position?

The op of that tumblr thread blocked me after I asked him about the fact things he claimed were common knowledge about a video game I played extensively as a kid do nopt line up with my memory. So I'd take his claims with a grain of salt.

"AI, what's the good picture for news about corproate CEO stepping down?" "Sexy knight dommy mommy that will step on my bad robot programming." "I'm deeply concerned about you, AI"

For the love of god, try games that aren't 5e or Pathfinder

While I agree with the Steel Wind Strike being an insult to put on a wizard and none of the martial classes, this is a bad argument because pretty much every anime swordsman who would pull out a shit like Steel Wind Strike as it is written, is explicit supernatural. I get your sentiment but this is a very flawed, easy to dismantle argument.

My last session the party spent 3 out of 4 hours of the session sitting down to discuss their various issues that accumullated over the course of the campaign. It was nice, I had very little to do and enjoyed their roleplay.

[-] TheGreatDarkness@ttrpg.network 10 points 11 months ago

you should just use actual names of the games, there are so many layers of jokes here they get in each other's way

Rule #1 of Horror writing is ADD SOME FUCKING HUMOR! If your story is doom and gloom all the time, it stops being scary and dark and becomes insufferable and boring.
