Correct me if I'm wrong, but is your main criticism of OgreBattle premise just, "I'm not interested in the game you're proposing on a conceptual level"?PhoneLobster wrote: ...doesn't answer the criticism of "I don't want to spend my time constantly doing that".

Here's an idea for miscasts: You make a spellcasting check when you cast a spell and if you fail the check, the spell is still cast but you're unable to cast it again until a condition is met. Maybe there's an additional miscast effect like taking some damage or a status effect (or even something ki...

Oh shit I didn't know this thread existed! I just got into bloodborne earlier this year. I haven't actually played in a while and I'm still on my first play-through, but I just wanted to brag that I beat Ludwig on my first try after stumbling on him by accident and Igot BSB second try while drunk.

You know zin, I have no idea who you are irl or what you're really like, but you just come off like a raging asshole online.

Damn zinegata, you ever consider that the people on this forum actually enjoy the discussions here and, if that's not you, you are fully capable of leaving?

This reminds me of the wounds and vitality system I made as after reading through Unearthed Arcana. The system also incorporated the class defense bonus and armor as DR variant rules, both slightly modified. The idea was that vitality had to be spent to add your class defense bonus to AC and your BA...

Here's my idea for void debt.

Thank you, I'm really excited to see more of this. I know the word epic is mostly used ironically nowadays, but it feels epic in a meaningful way. It reminds me of Final Fantasy. I'm very curious about how the beams interact with the setting. Like, how common are people that know of and walk the bea...

So, I feel like now that I've been provoked into posting in this thread, I should try to contribute to the main topic. My position is that I'm really not here for deep political discussion, but I can't deny that almost everything is inherently political. I think a no politics rule is kind of weird t...

A starting character is just a specific dollar amount of character options you bought before the game started and ...

We've just reached level 4 because the GM made some lucky treasure rolls and we made it back to town with a +3 weapon, which he said people would try to fucking mug us for, so we decided to sell it and he got butthurt and started saying he was going to stop doing Gold for XP. This shit sucks. If yo...

They are slowly manifested from the aether via intensive and specialized meditation. Once you learn how to craft an item, you simply plop down a certain amount of gold (or an equivalent value of other substances) in a circle, prepare certain spells to be consumed in the process, and then you meditat...

I think part of it is the dark souls mentality. Like they want the feeling of accomplishment for doing something that feels almost impossible at first. They want to feel like everything is earned. The problem is that people try to conjure that feeling by copying dark souls (metaphorically speaking a...
