Although there's limits to what you can really accomplish, D&D is not a system that works well outside its comfort zone.

What are you most excited for? For me it's two things. Number one is that Gideon will be more in the spotlight. Love that guy. Number two is that we'll get a new cycle of gods. Can't wait to see them. Nicol Bolas appearing again is also pretty cool but that's more of an Hour of Devastation thing if we can go by booster pack artwork. Also mummies as zombies!

So for the dozen or so people that still play Palladium Games (Rifts etc) and/or Robotech RPG Tactics, Carmen Bellaire tried to alpha-male the RRT comments section and got pretty roasted and bailed from the fire claiming health issues. RRT kickstarter backers all recieved the following update from Uncle Kevin himself about 20 minutes ago. Thoughts?

Honestly in terms of shit that goes down in trolling Carmen wasn't roasted that bad. He got told to fuck off and had threats of $1 troll pledges on his Rifts boardgame kickscammer for threatening to hinder RRT Wave 2.

I think the dude has Bipolar, had a Manic Episode when he got all aggressive on the RRT backers, then went full depression when he came down which was aggravated by his previous aggression met with aggression.

Ultimately his blood is on Uncle Kevin's hands.

Yeah, in general I'd agree. But given how much Palladium's own website, FB group, etc tries to insulate itself from recieving actual criticism, this apparently came across as a rude awakening.

>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/

>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?
Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up.

The religion follows 3 primary deities called the Triad, and believe that Triangles are an inherently sacred shape.
16 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
They are opposed by five lesser deities. The pentagon is considered a blasphemous symbol to followers of the Triad.
>>
Tetrahedron (d4) is a common holy symbol - its sides are Triangles and unite believer with Triad.
You'll find masterfully crafted ones made from finest ores on display in the places of worship and there's couple metal or stone ones around every household.
At the festivities they are thrown into the dancing crowds by handfuls.
>>
Temples are pyramid-shaped. Some orthodox sects violently oppose it, claiming that a pyramid is of 5 angles and thus inherently blasphemous.

They never use their special abilities. No matter what system it's just "Hit thing with sword" or "Shoot thing with gun" or if I'm lucky "Fireball, magic missile, firebolt, shocking hand" over and over. I don't understand why my players don't use their special abilities. You can make undead cower in fear! You can buff your party with extra armor and speed! You can punch people so hard they catch on fire! You can make yourself invulnerable to all energy damage while walking through walls! Why don't the idiots use their cool stuff? Did I somehow make it more fun to just use their weapons even when they have plenty non-weapon abilities?

Or GM complaints general.

I know what you mean. I can sympathize about not wanting to spend resources because you never know what's coming, but my players make things more boring than they have to be.

I try to counter this by giving them toys or having their enemies pull out new shit, but the party just sticks to attempting the same stuff.

>I don't understand why my players don't use their special abilities.

Because you're likely not giving them a reason to.

Internment of Japanese Americans.jpg
227KB, 1200x1201px
I find myself listening to a lot of Trail of Cthulhu games and it got me thinking of what events in history that are rarely touched upon in table top.

For instance, the internment of Japanese during WWII. Imagine a game where you investigate the murder of an older man that is revealed to have been responsible for framing his neighbors as Japanese spies so he could get their store and expand his business but was set upon by an angry spirit until it drove him insane and killed him and started moving on to other members of his family.

I'd play it. Some sort of dynasty drama with Asian vengeance ghosts, neatly tied up in age-old intrigues. Would probably take one hell of a group to pull off, however.
