@ PrometheanVigil : I wasn't even talking about individual characters, Christ. I said make each vampire race / species / clan visually distinct, as in the collective whole of X clan have identifiable physical markers and traits that go beyond clothing. Sure, recognizing affiliation by clothing is e...

There are a lot of baffling things in that announcement, but directly lifting proficiency bonuses from 5e has got to be one of the weirdest. It depends how they do it. If it's just the bonus then... whatever. The current PF skill system is a kludge to fix a tiny handful of the major problems of the...

You could have vampire clans distinguishable by non-human physical manifestations and keep the masquerade if you restrict these manifestations to things that can be covered up. So, Ventrue all have golden eyes, and they wear sunglasses all the time they're around humans, and all Giovanni have expos...

Oh go fuck yourself with the biggest rusty pole you can find. You are not going to seriously claim that setting fire to ability score increases to cast a single fucking first level spell utterly changes the capability of the rogue and then turn around and accuse me of strawmanning on top of that. G...

Re: What would it take to make VTM 5e not garbage?
And no, please don't link to or quote FrankTrollman's Anatomy of Failure: Vampire: The Masquerade ; or Anatomy of Failure: Vampire: The Requiem . Those threads are great, but at the risk of redundancy, let's discuss what nuWW would have to do to not implode their company (again?) IMO, they need to ...

In Putin's speech , yesterday, he boasted Russia developed low-flying missile with a random path that cannot be detected or intercepted by current or future (?) technology. It would bypass the US defense shield for Europe and Asia. It delivers a nuclear payload that can reach anywhere. He used this...

I do not understand the fucking need to fucking streamline the fucking rules for a game played on a fucking computer that will fucking take care of that for you. Streamlining them for the TT game where you have to do it all by hand / in your head is fine, but THIS just irks me to no end! What 'stre...

Because anyone can tell you pretty much exactly what a 5e rogue is capable of at any level - a single attack that will have about a 60% chance to hit with slightly scaling damage that utterly fails to keep up with monster hit points, a movement shenanigan they're probably too stupid to use effectiv...

Has anyone here played Kingdom Come: Deliverance? The gameplay I've watched makes it look really generic and boring (and with more bugs than a Bethesda title), but it's everywhere and I feel like I'm missing something. You're missing nothing. Not only is it a fairly buggy mess with a fairly sad com...

You can't? Because your second paragraph is basically the (exaggerated) justification for 5e.

They're also broadening the concept while keeping the core identity- they're still murderous nearly naked nutjobs, and pursuing a manipulative agenda to bring back their God of Murder (or are they? the Queen Bitch, Morathi is apparently planning her own ascension). But they're bringing in additiona...

As a weird point of timely contrast, GW put up its first real preview of the Witch Elves in Age of Smegma. It does basically what Ancient and Frank are advocating above: attaching them as outliers to Team Good (well Team Order, rather than Teams Death, Destruction or Chaos.) They're also broadening ...

The big obstacle to the 'good vs evil' rant: Wizards of the Coast. As it turns out, Mearls and company have doubled down on Stupid Evil for 5e. If anything it's worse than it ever was. You can see it in the Volo's Guide to Bullshit, where gnolls are essentially mindless eaters and killers of everyth...

Hrm, i still get those designs mixed up <.< Meh, i still hope it will have full steam workshop support. The battletech community can be amazing at getting shit done. See the MWLL Mod for Crysis Wars. I suspect it will, but from what I saw of beta coverage in december, it's very easily moddable. The...

Locust is Robotech though, if i remember correctly. Nope. Locust is from Crusher Joe . The rest of this stuff from this series is tanks and fighters and doesn't matter much. There are 5 designs (of 7) from Fang of the Sun: Dougram . The Shadow Hawk, Griffin, Wolverine, Thunderbolt and Battlemaster....

You are talking about the lawsuit against HBS, right? Is there something new? Only found things from November...
