I have no idea how this book went to print in such an incomplete state. It reads like a first draft, with contradictory takes on the same subject next to each other, waiting to be reconciled when the authors next talk to each other, and unimplemented design document goals sitting there in plain sig...

WotG is Borgstromancy. Be warned. For NPCs using social skill on players, just make the rolls fairly early, and use that to inform how you present the NPC. You can even give different descriptions to different players, right at the same table. Either they'll roll with it and roleplay it out (most li...

If Alice didn't boost in-play AND in-hand, she almost not be worth playing. I shuffled a few into my otherwise pre-wonderland Dragon-neutral deck, and they're only barely better than the Gilgamesh and Goblin Princess they replaced. Dark Angel Olivia was much, much bigger boost, because it gave me 2-...

I finished running Horror on the Orient Express a couple months ago. I really got the sense that a lot of it was an excuse to write off European vacations on someone's taxes. That same principle may be at work in Russia too. Aside: Getting captured is sadly mandatory for way too many CoC adventures,...

Neutral is at least minimally viable now. I use it for missions for everything except Runecraft (when I want to win, anyway). I wouldn't call it good , but it is easy to play and fills every craft. The core of it looks like 3x Goblin, Hamsa, Sektor, Valkyrie's Spear, Khaiza, Strix, Goblin Princess, ...

I've noticed a weird pattern, and it seems to be repeatable: cashing in more tickets at the same time consistently produces rarer draws in each pack. I haven't played much, so my sample size is fairly small. But it's a big enough difference to be noticeable, and it seems to be reproducible going for...

Robo-Crane in Jade excepted because nothing could stop that regularly. At the end of Jade, RoboCrane wasn't even a real contender. Depending on your local meta, you had a rack-paper-scissors between Robo-Spirit, Fox, and Shadowlands (any big force deck, really). Spirit was like a fast version of Cr...

Having a consistent number is more balanced than a variable number. See, I have a hard time accepting that as the claim, because it's facially incorrect. That theory says that Behilder Mage is a well-balanced class (regular, predictable progression). Not only that, but Beholder Mage is somehow more...

A) you've never had the crazily pure water that's postulating, because it's stupidly expensive (e.g. http://www.atcc.org/en/Products/Culture ... nformation)
B) what Eikre said.

I thought this board was full of dumpster diving munchkin power gaming types. That's why I joined. There's got to be some way to make this work. You pretty much thought wrong.

A skill based casting system is by definition less balanced to level than a level based casting system. I genuinely don't understand why this seems to be hard for you to grasp. Because your claim is not obviously true, and your support for it is incoherent. It's as though you've said that Grover Cl...

Total spells available by level for a wizard, ignoring cantrips and intelligence: 1,2,3,5,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36 Same, for a sorcerer: 3,4,5,9,10,14,16,20,22,26,28,32,34,38,40,44,46,50,52,54 Wizard is almost linear, if you ignore part of it, but sorcerer is not.

I don't think undead are a reasonable power source, since they're probably powered through draining the life energy out of the world. They are explicitly powered by energy from a specific other plane. More generally though, I can't account for your unstated house rules. Even if your statement were ...
