It's fine to disagree about things, but not every thing people disagree about is because of moral failings of the person you disagree with. You might just have a different opinion, or see things from a different perspective.

Playing Tears of the Kingdom and it boggles my mind that people be out there building Macross mecha and I can barely manage a platform with a couple fans to get me across a river.

It's gonna be a hell of a weekend.

My experience Diablo III's season 28 mechanic, The Alter of Rites, is Negative.

I was Paragon level 804 and had five characters at level 70 before I found a Ramaladni's Gift.

The "What's Hot" tab is a lie. There is nothing hot there. There is only people shouting into the void.

I would like the "What's Hot" tab removed for my viewing pleasure.

It's way too early/late for me to be waiting for sleep.

I'm stuck between the rock of, "I have to homebrew all the things I want into existing systems" and the hard place of, "I should just make my own TTRPG" and let me tell you, the lazy adult in me and the gifted child in me are at war

👀 Kobold Press's Tales of the Valiant Kickstarter is gonna open soon.....

Complexity in a TTRPG is not Bad.

Mages are incredibly powerful. That's good! They should be!

Martials should be just as powerful, but in different ways. Embrace Wuxia Bullshit. Embrace Anime Bullshit.

Fighters are supposed to be masters of every weapon. Let them act like it for once!

For all the simplicity and streamlining in D&D5e, we lost so much when WORC kicked alignment, deities, class restrictions, and other limitations to the curb.

Recently went back over my Sorcerer concept for my TTRPG/world setting, known as the Sanguinist.

I still dream of a subsystem where Sanguinist have to manage something so they don't explode from magical over-use

Arknights Chapter 11 came for my emotional stability.

Pour one out for Yet Another Gacha Game That Could Have Been Even Better If It Wasn't A Gacha (YAGGTCHBEBIIWAG).

Or firearms will have some kind of 'Armor Penetration' value.

I don't know how @tenken.bsky.social can just make systems. It's probably because he can do math.

Likely what will happen is that firearms will have static damage. I'll be bringing back Touch Armor Class, too, I think.

Also it's nearly 1am and that means this is all extra levels of "I don't know what I am doing".

Luckily, with a quick application of Magic Nonsense, balance can be maintained between PCs and NPCs.

Hell, I'm making this up as I go.

Different levels of Industrial Age tech also means that some folks (The Bad Guys) are going to have box magazines and repeating firearms.
April 25, 2023 at 5:50 AM
Solution: Revolvers and pump action/breech loaders. Basically, we're going into the Industrial Age, except with Magic.
April 25, 2023 at 5:49 AM
On a related note, working firearms into a TTRPG is always interesting because they can't be too powerful (Swords are Cool), but if they're too weak why even have them in the first place?

Playing Diablo 3 for shiggles and the new season content is an altar that you sacrifice items to for stupid bonuses. I have hit a wall because I need a specific rare item that hasn't dropped in over 40 hours of grinding. *sigh*

Remember folks, when you have too many OCs already, the Correct course of action is to begin making a universe + ttrpg to populate with your OCs.

I like suffering.
