Literally the backstory for the creation of Traveler

FATAL. Because sexy eldritch abominations are the few things that could understand that game.

>>47085629
The game's resolution mechanic uses a deck of three-sided cards with gem slots for adjoining your character's abilities.

Nobody cares about either of those things.

>>47085519
The only people who actually care about the Civil War in the US think that parodying an event that led to the loss of 600,000+ Americans would be in poor taste.

>>47085565
There are quite a few World War 2 themed games out there, and quite a few more people died in this one.

Assassin Rogue/Shadow Monk

Vice would be a Barbarian/Assassin Rogue

How so, OP? Doesn't it give you all the possible opportunities for high adventure you'd expect in a D&D world?

>>47085342

It's the wrong kind of boring.

>>47085437
What do you mean?

>>47085197
Yes.
Looks good.
Will buy when it comes out in two years.

>>47085197
pledged only to get the stretch goals and resell with profit if I don't like it

The video previewing the mechanics made it look pretty interesting and engaging for a board game, and having procedural zone layouts gives it replayability. Plus the mechanics are simple and varied so you could brew up your own monsters and player classes like you could a more robust RPG system if you want to get deep into it.

Pic related is ITER: International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
D + T ---> He (3.5 MeV) + n (14 MeV)
n + Li ---> He + T

Greatest experiment in human history (so far), ITER is supposed to fix 2 major problems in the world: global warming (by humanity no longer using oil) and energy crisis (we use more and more oil, our most productive oil wells are getting dry).

By creating a "star in a lab" using superconductive materials, strong magnetic fields, at 200.000.000 °C temperature, and millions of amperes of electricity, we could use the formula above, fuse these 2 elements, and get the plasma we need.
With this plasma, all of our energy needs would be solved, for quite some time.

So that's how hard it is to create plasma, I guess I'd stick to just loading explosive into a canon too.

>>47085233
You don't understand what plasma is

>>47085296
You would need a load of blood for all of that sorta plasma.

We are talking about blood plasma... right?

>>47084927
Yeah sure whatever, kid. It's all fantasy.

Get out of here, Bridge Princess

No one cares what you think.

Well I know the Bag of Holding would be quite possessive

Second thought that occurred to me. Last time, there was some discussion on dress physics that got boiled down to a couple of paragraphs to help players and GMs deal with outfits and outfit related plots/sequences. It reminded me a little bit of those old monster ecology articles from ye olde D&D that everyone likes, so I thought it might be a useful thing to screw around with.

At the same time, I remembered the Pillow Fight League (pic related), a supposedly real, staged, or semi-staged depending on who you talk to thing. It didn't end up being super relevant because PPF fights kind of run on the Princess and the Pea joke that the characters are so delicate that they can be knocked out by a light tap from the softest possible object, whereas real people do not work that way. But I thought that a couple of paragraphs of Monster Ecology: Pillow Fights might be useful (or failing that, Monster Ecology: Baking or Monster Ecology: Guest Management). Any thoughts?

Are these sexy pillow fights we're talking about here?

>>47086486
Not really but they might be cute

Because it's fun

>>47083846
Because it's buzzword.

Both

Nobody. That's just how GRIM DARKNESS works.

Ravens are borderline heretics and deserve every ounce of suspicion and mistrust they're given

Yeah. In a morgue. He's frequently late for the job, but the customers generally don't mind.

My changeling Rogue she CK2'd her way to being the queen of a small kingdom. It gets difficult to move around so I often send other characters for me to go along with the party.

He's a mercenary. Adventuring is literally his job.

I hear the French version is funnier, and the English version is more WoD-like.

>>47081193
What's supposed to be funny about angels and demons battling each other?

>>47081222

The original game's a parody of how the Catholicism.

>>47080800
They are indoctrinated since birth.

It's fucking communism, I ain't gotta explain shit

You don't have to be on contact with that shit 24/7 for it to be effective. If evert time an ethereal walked into the room your whole life you had a quasi-religious experience of complete submission to their will, you aren't going to shake your head and yell "GO fuck yourself" the first time one sends you an order over radio just because it didn't feel quite as magical.
