The Tarot Cards are okay but the karma system for it is mostly dumb. Players pretty much aren't going to actually bid against each other, so everyone spends 1 karma for every card. Maybe that's just my players. Collusion is 100% kosher and to be expected. Outbidding isn't there to be common or inte...

I have a strange interest in Hellraiser stuff. Probably because Pinhead, and stuff like this.

I always do. It makes the effect significantly less frequent, but it still happens.

I have one coffee a day. Maximum. I hardly consider that over-consumption.

I really enjoy my coffee, both for its flavour and its ability to help me think and function. However, I find that it ratchets up my anxiety quite a bit, to the point where I occasionally completely lose it over nothing and have to take quite a while to calm back down again. Is there anything I can ...

Zomg, getting seriously hype here.

Seconded with enthusiasm!

I vote for the first Koumei/Frank teamup of Den history to write this.

I see what you did there.

Also, assuming that not everyone in the hobby is an medieval weapons fetishist, how much can the traditional D&D weapons list be simplified and generalized? I'm thinking like Missile weapons, Polearms, Swift weapons and Brute weapons; all with small, medium, large examples. Frankly, I think eve...

I can confirm that Nightbane does not have a 'roll to see if you're psychic' step anywhere in its chargen process. It might perhaps be an oversight (wouldn't surprise me honestly), but fact is, by RAW, you can only be a Psychic if you happen to be a dog. Or a chimp.

Yay, Rifts (R) (TM) (Fuck You We'll Sue) madness strikes again! I look forward to reading more of this. This actually came out at the same time as Nightbane, so it probably explains CJ Carella's involvement.

Alrighty, I am refreshed. Time to delve back in. Psionic Powers https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*5hGxzQI_MfDDwkmUl9NYMQ.jpeg Almost, but not entirely, quite unlike this. It would be remiss of me to not say a few words about DnD and psionics before launching into this tirade. Psionics has be...

"By my will, arise!" So anyway, it's been way, way too long since I sat down to kill braincells using the unique method that is 'trying to make sense of a Palladium product'. However, I am now a confirmed PhD candidate, and thus, braincells must die. For your entertainment. https://upload....

I might just be blind, but all the After Sundown rulesets I've seen don't seem to list Potency values for 'typical' examples of various non-playable supernaturals. If this information exists, where can I find it? If it doesn't, what would be some typical values?

Source anime?

Ancient History wrote:"Eggs" are based off of Rukh Egg, as I recall.

Nope - they're actually based on Darkfire Egg and co. At least originally.

OK, so it's bullshit-flavoured-bullshit mechanically. Good to know!

Can be found here. I wanted to hear the opinions of all the nice people here about whethet this is worth the paper it's printed on.

You'd have eight clans - The Congress, The Pentagon, The House, Langley, NSA, CDC, FEMA and Goldman-Sachs - with absolutely no reason given for people from different clans to do something together. Then a sourcebook would suddenly points out there is a world outside of North America and introduce a...
