[QUOTE=Chronische;43413049]No problem, you can give it crazy long range too.[/QUOTE]
yeah
if the Hokage just put me on top of a really tall tower or something, i could nuke every other major village in a couple hours time.
and i'm still only a chunin rank ninja, a kage could probably do it in like half an hour
there's more potential for large scale destruction in this game than there is in Exalted
Played a game of Apocalypse World. It's setting is basically that some kind of weird psychic apocalypse has fucked up the everything. For the most part it's not very sci-fi really, just weird. With a bit of an exception which we'll get to in a second.
Our player characters consisted of a fairly deranged trucker type of guy, a guy who was more or less Psycho Mantis except almost always silent, and with the ability to produce an infinite amount of hidden knives.
And then there was me.
I played a dolphin. In a bigass bipedal mech suit. With what is more or less a giant laser cannon mounted on it. And i'm from space.
And the game started out with me deep striking onto Earth, and at this point i'm more or less the villain. My mission from space dolphin command was to spearhead an invasion on Earth, so pretty much the first thing I did was go to a town and just vaporize a dude, at which point everyone flees, including the other player characters.
It was fucking great.
Hey man, you don't fuck with a dolphin noise marine.
In one instance, he picked up a buggie with a bunch of dudes in it and tried to talk to them. It sounded like,[URL]https://soundcloud.com/matt-lloyd-9/dolphin-noise[/URL]. Every time he spoke it was a different dolphin noise. Eventually the guys jumped out scared out of their fucking minds and he threw the car at them, smashing them all. Fucking fantastic, I love this game.
Elowin you are a monster. I love it.
I was at my local gamestore yesterday and in addition to some bitchin' dice, I picked up the most bizarre RPG I've ever seen. It's called [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifts_%28role-playing_game%29]Rifts[/url] and it's a mix of pretty much anything and everything. Of course, I have no idea if it's good or not, but considering it has been printed for quite a while, people must be buying it somewhere. I have no idea how it plays or if it even has a terribly good world, but for $12 can I really go too terribly wrong?

I just use them because I find them easy to format, but I never do any automation shit because its just too constricting.

The guy who wrote it sounds super pretentious. "Yeah, it has elements of THAT, but it's NOT so don't say it IS."

I found that it really suffers from having a clear focus on what it's trying to be. Yes the whole point was to be a mish mash of everything from every genre ever but that rarely, if ever, is pulled off without looking like "lolrandom anything can happen!!!"

That's pretty much what I'd expect out of it, but for $12 it'll be a silly read.

Looks good to me. I might pick it up if I can find it for that price.
Anyone recommend any good pathfinder campaigns? Not Rise of the Runelords, I didnt really enjoy that.

Kingmaker is supposed to be very good
[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;43399621]I run my current game through a Steam group chat. Maps sit in photoshop on my other monitor, and I use Gyazo to instantly upload the map to an image host as I update it.[/QUOTE]
This is a great idea. I've been slowly (read procrastinating for the past several months after a solid week of working on it) working on a campaign to play with an online friend and had been wondering how to deal with the maps properly. Totally going to steal this idea when I get around to trying to finish the adventure up next month when I'm less busy.
[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;43421943]Kingmaker is supposed to be very good[/QUOTE]
It's not for the faint of heart though, I've seen more than my fair share of groups starting it but disintegrating barely after the Trading Post encounter.
I'd recommend Reign of Winter since it gets 12 shades of crazy near the end, and before that it's a pretty solid AP.
[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;43421943]Kingmaker is supposed to be very good[/QUOTE]
It starts slow as hell, and you need a pretty cohesive party, it's something to play with people you already know really.
Kingmaker is a really long term module and a lot of people only really played it for the kingdom management aspect which you can now run separately anyway thanks to Ultimate Campaign.

Hah, cheers.
You're running a game for one person?

Yeah. He's never played a tabletop rpg before and I wanted to do a campaign that would be simple to schedule. (My main D&D group hasn't met up in 5-6 months or so due to scheduling conflicts.)
Is it worth making character sheet for the fuck of it? Because some GMs for even popular systems can have their own power levels for campaigns.
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;43420939]we be goblins[/QUOTE]
Holy fuck I really wanna do that.

You could just edit it if that ends up being the case.

I kind of just like making characters for the hell of it just because I find it fun.
[editline]5th January 2014[/editline]
I fear that if I do it enough it may turn into some sort of fetish.

I make tons of oddball characters in the off chance that I'll play them.
It's fun, but it takes too long for me. That's why I decided to make an automated character sheet yesterday. I need to make a rival party for my game, but I'd hate making three people on my own.
Can someone point me as to where I might find rules etc for Legend Of The Five Rings
Someone dropped out of my housemates game and I've been invited to join in their place
