Re: What is the least bad version of the "Storyteller System"?

The real answer is Shadowrun. JK I do think VTM might start picking up Normies again. Despite the terrible handling of the tabletop side by the people they hired, VTM Bloodlines 2 will cause a boom. Yes it’s delayed, yes it’s looking like there’s massive behind the scenes drama, but regardless of th...

This sort of happened? Germany at least ensured Lenin's return to Russia to help kick off the revolutions, but even if Germany organized a communist uprising, like Whatever has said, the removing of Russia from the war is probably the most they could have asked for, and for later down the line we ar...

So, just a few things on the Video Game version, which does actually clean some of this up. Nyrissa actually shows up very early on in the module and has a more active role throughout the game. Most of the stag lord's lieutenants do not have their backstory explained to you except the fallen paladin...

I have in fact met a Cataclysm defender, and their defense was well, kinda nonsensical. Apparently destroying all of Istar and millions of people out of it was needed to balance the scales of removing an Evil-aligned country from the map. And the same reason is why Divine Healing was not a thing. Ye...

Exit polling did show high support among the populace for various progressive policies such as Medicare for All, legal weed, etc., but Biden's share of the vote was a lot smaller that those policy's popularity.

I think there's good ways to do it, but yeah just haven't found one to really satisfy it.

I am quite convinced that making a satisfactory set of functional social combat rules is never going to happen. Not with how the industry is currently structured, much like combat, you'd have to set up a whole minigame for characters specifically invested into it, and one that all members of the par...

I only use encumbrance if the game is a wilderness game or exploration driven, or both. If it's not a game where encumbrance is likely to have any effect at all, it's pointless minutia to a large extent.

RAW, yeah, it's not possible to do it. I think the assumption that they expect people to make is that the inverted magic circle is supposed to keep them trapped for long enough for the Planar Binding to be cast, but I have no idea if there are actual rules for magic circles.

Probably not as dumb? It's designed to break down doors when you hit them with the hammer, so it's not that stupid in that they just put four shotguns on a hammer for no reason at all.

Krime’s a company specifically to Orcs and Trolls, and there’s some semi-decent lore, but their main contribution is increasingly ridiculous and goofy weapons like a Hammer with a built in four barrel shotgun among other things. Actual mechanical uses tend to be rathe crap half the time sadly. They’...

It's been what, eleven months since the planned release of 6e, nine since the actual release? The only fact I'd say was on the side of it being a late 5e book is that they still don't have a magic buffing book out yet and probably would want that prioritized first.

So Shadowrun released a new gear book for Krime weapons called the Krime Katalog, and perhaps in a sign of how much 6e has failed to attract an audience, it is dual-statted for both 5e and 6e. It also suffers from the same godawful editing with some weapons not even saying what type they are. Also t...
