Any Pub-goers familiar with San Antonio, Texas? I won’t have a lot of time to tour the place so if anyone could point me to (1) must-see sights and attractions, (2) a good liquor store and (3) a good used book store, I’d appreciate it.
Still trying to come up with an interesting arcane caster (Sorcerer, Warlock or Wizard — Bard or Artificer out for the time being) character for an upcoming D&D5 game.
It’s not that I’m a bad person. Or a good person. It’s that I’m not good enough. I want to be better. And I realize that being a better person includes not being influenced by the way circumstances treat you but by God life is seriously cramping my style right now. And I feel like shit.
“No time for RPGs” level: made maybe seven characters for the “Create A Character January” thread. (Admittedly White Wolf hamstrung me. I used to be quick at these but I had a difficult time. I may have grown at least partially dependent on randomness. All those choices!)
The purported wisdom of experience and maturity fails to provide simple answers for some old questions. For twenty-eight I have been asked, “what is Rifts?” and I dread the question now every but as much as I dreaded it in the past. Maybe even more so.
I went into my DTRPG library to download the Savage Rifts Player's Handbook (which I got backing the original KS, pre-SWADE) and it's gone from DTRPG. WTF??? Now I'm mad.
Grand Conjunction! So cool. Never been into astronomy but starting to dig it. Don't even have a telescope, just a mobile phone AR app and the hope that it won't be too cloudy.
Sorry for not being very active on actual gaming threads. The longer you go without gaming, the more it feels like something you won’t be doing anymore... then again, maybe this is the kick in the pants I need.
Tempers seem to be flaring in some threads, which makes me worry about everyone's mental health. Anyone wanna vent? I'm listening. Here, PM, or Discord. Your call.
Some ideas for Call of Cthulhu:
- Roll 3d6 (or 4d6-drop-lowest for a pulpier feel) and assign to taste. Screw 2d6+6 and 3d6+3.
- Calculate skill base levels from attributes, like RQ6/Mythras. Except Credit Rating. Starts at 0% (or maybe do away with it altogether -- maybe with a Social Standing attribute?)
Maybe it's a byproduct of not doing a lot of gaming but every time I read a rulebook now it seems I want to write my own version of the rules. Which of course I am never, ever doing. Or am I?
