i am 9000% convinced that no one just played from the phb because this is the worst fucking thing

i bet this is like every other old ass rpg where the splatbooks offer some incredible boost to power that just breaks the core systems apart

i can't even cast cure light wounds man

that shit is level 5

so is 1-4 just the worst fucking dice lottery

i am told 13th age is made by 3.5/4e people, but presumably more "modern"

might leaf through that

not wanting a pc to die because you like them: ❌

not wanting a pc to die because you hate rolling new pcs in mythras 2e: ✅

the real power of hirelings/henchmen/npcs in this game is to avoid having to look up a bunch of skill stats

"no, YOU go first"

my dice absolutely know the genre of the games i'm playing

mythras: "yeah sure you intercept that guy in the tavern and clock him in the head with a tankard, no problemo"

delta green: "no, actually your graduate degree in computer science means you don't know what a keyboard is"

mister mittens is a grumpy old white cat but the cat emoji i used is an orange cat so i imagine him as an orange tabby

gaslit myself

wait mongoose released a new campaign thing? every publisher notifies me when shit comes out, like a dozen times per thing

mongoose just like "haha yeah whatever man"

i would add that my only mild regret is that i set the star wars universe in-game date to about 4000 years bby so i don't have krogan charging entire stormtrooper barracks or some shit

but i got sith and mandalorians out the ass, so

can you believe going back in time and being like "ahhh, the first jedi purge"

the jedi: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FIRST"

"You get one success for every 2 or 4 rolled and two successes for every 6 rolled."

what the fuck lol

not sure how much i like resolve in prowlers and paragons

also i need every point buy system to stop doing the colorblind gurps thing it's weird

it does seem to have a good spread of low/high tier play with their point buy system and just rolling dice pools of whatever trait, as opposed to other less bound systems that have you add a characteristic + a skill design

also appreciate how even though it's emulating high powered supers it nods at heroes being able to die and it's not hard to weld on top of

lower tiers because it's too strong: ❌

lower tiers so you don't have to roll as many dice: ✅

protip for people who make tables for rpgs

number them even if you don't intend for people to roll on them, because someone will probably want to roll on them
