Dwarves offer a couple of compelling 'moods' too: being loud, being grumpy, chewing the scenery, enjoying debaucheries like drinking, being stubborn, being aggressive while talking about stuff like honor and meaning it. So if anything I would guess that other races are encroaching on that territory,...

There was a recently released total conversion for Skyrim called Enderal. It brings the game's leveling systems more in line with a Gothic game and adds a new continent and storyline. Minor correction: it creates it's own game world; you're not in Tamriel any more. Which means you can't use your ex...

Cry of Fear is a horror shooter with a thick atmosphere and an unbeatable price (being free). Outlast has a few jumpscares, but mostly creates tension with atmosphere and stealth. Also relying on stealth is Albino Lullaby , which should be on sale on Steam right now. It has its very very unique and...

Leia possesses force powers but is not a Jedi. This is not a difficult concept. So...she's completely suspectible to the temptations of the Dark Side, but without a Jedi training protecting her from it? Or can you have force powers, like a Jedi, but become only affected by the Dark Side once you tr...

But what about Leia? Episode VI made very clear that the Force is strong in Luke's family, including his sister, and heavily implied she would become a Jedi too - so why was her son trained, but not Leia herself? Did Ben or Yoda teach Luke about those stupid chastity rules, and Leia decided that sh...

If you get each item upon wishing for it, I'd start with a +6 Headband of Intellect and a +6 Periapt of Wisdom, and then think really hard and long about my third wish. Several years, in fact, while I see what I can do with my newfound mental capabilities in this age of information and technology of...

But it faces so much competition in the English-speaking world that it would have to be truly extraordinary to get much attention. The sunk cost effect would work against it, here. I'm inclined to agree. Weirdly enough it might have better chances to expand south, towards the (more progressive part...

I don't think DSA does anything so exceptionally well that adopting it is worth the effort. There are a whole lot of existing systems, originally in English, that are designed to do or can be adapted to do everything it does. Basically the game exists at all because of linguistic and cultural barri...

Isn't that stereotype based on stories of european explorers encountering tribes of local natives and then being decimated because the 'savages' have no appreciation for how much more fetching the main artifact of their religion would look on the shelf of a London museum? Because in that case the pr...

Browsing the list and doing the research, I can confidently say that I don't give a flying flamingo about most entries or the awards at all, but I saw that an unofficial Mass Effect RPG was disqualified due to copyright issues, and went to check that out instead. Still reading, thanks for the indire...

You don't understand ad hominem, and also, you're a fuckwit. (See, if I had said that you don't understand ad hominem because you're a fuckwit, that would be an example of ad hominem. However, I merely called you a fuckwit because I felt like insulting you, so it's not ad hominem.) Fair enough, poi...

Diplomancers, because I usually do a lot of the talking in my groups. Bonus points for abilities that support or enhance calling the shots tactically, because that role falls a lot on my shoulders, too. Thematically I like mages, or more specifically elementalists, with occasionally strolling into r...

I don't give two fucking shits if there are races with different stats, I'm just saying the game is noticeably less good without Willpower/Int/Strength/Speed/Agility. Luck could go either way, and Endurance was at least implemented poorly, but could work out, and who gives a flying fuck about Perso...

I personally hate the fuck out of the loss of attributes in Skyrim. Maybe you didn't need all the different attributes you had in Morrowind/Oblivion, but honestly, it is a computer game, that shit is totally worth having in the game. I particularly loved the way the attributes in these games implic...

What makes the Numenera setting nice? I looked at it briefly and it seemed to be the least distinctive far-future-fantasy thing I'd ever seen. Why would you choose it over the Dying Earth or the Book of the New Sun? Fair point. Let me correct myself: A couple of ideas in the setting are nice and I'...

Numenera. I made it halfway through the classes (halfway through the Nano description, in fact), then re-read the Glaive description, and decided I didn't have time for another wizard > your mom > warrior kinda game. It didn't add up favorably to the other nagging doubts I already was entertaining a...

So, Son of Nor. Indie title. You play as a Son (or Daughter) of Nor, a sort of priest-mage-paladin defending the last pocket of humanity against evil lizardmen. And by priest-mage-paladin I mean earthbender (seriously, the children of Nor even have a widespread aversion to footwear). To fight and so...

Have a decent write-up of each power. Since most forms of magic offer simply new, fictional tools to manipulate existing laws of nature, you'd need to describe these tools properly. If molding lead without heating it is part of the tool, you'll need to define how much one can mold and/or move in wha...
