Has this been talked about yet?
The biggest german RPG is getting an english release. I can't wait to hear all the opinions of you guys when you start to wonder why on earth anyone would need a farming skill or animal husbandry. Not animal handling, animal husbandry. it's in the game from the start, same as Knowledge of Stones. Or maybe Stonelore is a better translation.
The only problem I have is that it seems like they're marketing as a high fantasy thing just because there is magic and dragons. But stuff like that is pretty rare and most people living in the villages have never even seen anyone with a different colour of skin than they have, let alone magic. It might cause some wrong expectations for people used to D&D.

How are the new rules? I heard conflicting things about them, coming from 4.1.
Also, as a linguist, I'm appalled they cut the Linguistics Skill.

What does a dodge bonus to Strength look like?
What about a natural armor bonus to Intelligence?
Or a shield bonus to Wisdom?
Does having a size bonus to Charismamake you a big guy?

Just make everything a circumstance bonus, they stack.
I'm fairly sure you can't have some bonuses for certain things (e.g. dodge bonus to strength, dodge bonuses only affect AC and sometimes reflex saves. Shield bonus to Wisdom because a shield bonus explicitly improves Armor Class, etc).
Start here, at Modifier Types, to see different bonuses:

>>47500473
>What about a natural armor bonus to Intelligence?
A "natural armor bonus" is a "natural" bonus to armor. So turning an Intelligence bonus into that would be a natural Intelligence bonus.
>>
>>47501683
A 'natural armor bonus' is one of the 17 (if I haven't missed any) types of bonus you can get in 3.5. There is no 'natural intelligence bonus'. You couldn't change it to affect your intelligence. See the link in >>47500645 to see what each type of bonus can change.

Cypher system for an Endless Legend game?

I'm currently working on a game based on Endless Legend. For those not familiar with the setting - the planet was once inhabited by powerful precursors, who left behing a lot of interesting toys. That considered, the game won't be solely focused on murderhobo archeology. Interacting with various NPC groups will also be important.
The question - is Cypher system any good? Never played it myself, just started reading the book after skimming Numenera. Does the system support social interactions properly?
Did you like it, or did you hate it, and why?
Are there any alternative systems for such a setting I'm not aware of?

Interested, but I've never played with the cypher system. From what I heard it seems to hold up for games like yours
>>
>>47500364
I think Cypher will work for you, I've only played Numenera, but your artifacts fit the bill of the fluff of numenera anyway. I don't really like the way the cypher system handles armor, but that's all subjective anyway.

Does your character (still) have a mother? How important is she to your character and the overall story, or does she only exist for tragic death bait for untalented DMs?

>>47500232
Yeah, she's in another country, he visits her once a month and he lives for the rest of the time under a false identity. She's his primary weak point, so he keeps her distanced from him as much as possible.
>>
One character I played had a horribly abusive mother whohung herself after locking him in the basement, it cemented the character's mommy issues as he was unable to move on from the loss. Thinking he did something wrong and caused it.
So, you know. Pretty important.
>>
>>47500232
My current one does not, no.
He never even knew his mother as she was some random whore whom his father said he was quite fond of but whom he never personally met.
I've actually made this a plot point; he's masculine and relatively successful with women, but due to a severe lack of exposure to them outside of sex in his
17th century-style setting he's not really very good at understanding them, especially since he's been a sailor surrounded by men his whole life.
He treats women okay at least.

How do I give characters/places exotic names in a supposedly fictional language that don't sound stupid as fuck? All I ever do is add random apostrophes so everyone sounds like Al'ac of House Jin'mo'quan from the land of Fa'tok.

Your favorite fantasy illustrator? Mine's Russ Nicholson, who did a lot of Fighting Fantasy books and some early Warhammer. His stuff is so lovingly detailed and grotesque.

Why do mainstream sources always couch their narratives in such flavorful ways? Does it bother you?

>>47497914
Absolutely. Only the most dry and clinically accurate descriptions of the exacting turn order and sequence of operations in a Magic the Gathering card game should be allowed. Any attempt at prose, narrative, or imagination should be staunchly prohibited from any such recounting.
>>
>>47497962
When mainstream journalists speak of chess, they do not conjure up images of medieval battles with knight striking down priests at the behest of queens etc.
Does this bother you?
>>
>>47497914
Because they're mainstream.
"I sacced two enchantments and tapped Monk of the Punching Fist to activate his ability to scry two and deal damage equal to the square root of the number of legendary lands in my graveyard while my opponent blocked with his tokens and countered my spliced Chain Nuke with Brain Fart by discarding three artifact creatures" wouldn't exactly make someone unfamiliar with MtG to want to try it. Or indeed tell them anything at all.

Well I don't know what system you were using, but mummy rot makes me think 3.5. In 3.5 diseases take time to incubate and don't (usually) do anything right away.
And undead can't be crit. So maybe you're kinda bad?

Can a tabletop game with just one player, and one GM work? I tried doing this once, because a player wanted to continue his character's story and I was open to try it, but it didn't work out for more than one reason.
If the intention is to do this online, is voice or text preferable? Is it awkward? Experiences or advice?

In theory it's possible, but that sounds fucking awful, even if you're extremely comfortable with them.
I don't know, you do you. Sounds fucking awkward to me though.
Unless you're a dad trying to entertain your young child and treat the game like an adventure story. That would be kind of endearing I guess.
