So as Alien GMs, what the fuck do you do with the “Prometheus and Alien are mutually exclusive” problem.

Well Hudson said “Is this gonna be a stand-up fight, Sir, or just another Bug Hunt.” When Gormley references a “Xenomorph may be involved“, Hicks answers, “A Bug Hunt”. So I always took that to mean that they had faced several Alien Encounters where it wasn’t sentient troops ( a stand-up...

Players do tend to love it, but it is a bit harder on the GM.

Yeah, they can’t bring it back as a Limited Run if they don’t yank it. Gotta keep the artificial scarcity going.

Me and @Baulderstone aren’t exactly besties, but that’s pretty wild.

Heh, he's talking about this system making a good game mechanic for magic. Did some digging, he's a D&D GM.

This guy's a real find.

I think skill lists should do three things. 1. Facilitate play 2. Support the setting 3. Support very long campaign play So I like skills that you might use only once every 5 sessions, especially if they represent a Cult skill or something you may need later.

Touché :devil:. I'm sure though if I had access to them, a Taoist Monk and a Sufi Ascetic would have been awesome too.

For some reason, Rabbis and Jesuits always seem to be the most interesting people to talk to about this stuff.

Someone has been paying attention.

Daniel Fox is a Marketing guy. His chosen path in life is to deceive people to get them to believe things that aren't true and purchase accordingly. His aggressive, balls out strategy for Zweihander in the days before an official Warhammer worked. His move towards Zak, and the immediate...

I understand no one wants to do a deep dive in cosmology and societies and religion for a game of D&D. But...that doesn't mean we should just cut and paste because the academics say so and we nod our head and say "It is known".

1d4 Investigators per round aren't sure it matters. :grin:

Well, my point isn't that you can determine by glance whether the "Magic" is Wizardry/Alchemy/Sorcery/Thaumaturgy/Theurgy/Necromancy/Deism/Druidism/Mysticism/Shamanism or whatever the hell. My point is...using the real world where the only "proof" comes via belief isn't the best reference point...

Jesus Dude. People who pray for months that their family member gets better **BELIEVE** that the prayer worked if the person gets better. There's no actual proof one way or another, "God works in mysterious ways." People who watch a priest Lay on Hands on a family member and watch that family...

You essentially keep echoing Arthur C. Clarke. Which is fine, but a society that doesn’t know enough to not know science isn’t magic is not a good basis for comparison to a society that knows magic is Magic.

Hard Target has Yancy Butler. Don’t forget a Cajun Wilford Brimley riding into battle on a horse.

Finding out who owns what with this property is like digging through the Panama Papers.

Except if when the Protestants came to the door they could make it rain on your crops, raise your dead child and cure your Grandma of cancer, you might think twice about saying no. People only need to believe and have faith in things that they have no proof or evidence of. Blessed are those...
