Yeah lemmy has… Issues. People are probably still trickling in, but if it’s to those instances it won’t really improve.

seems kinda…nonsensical. don’t get me wrong, i prefer other systems, but they don’t really identify actual issues. first and foremost, the system absolutely needs to be able to resolve anything that happens in the world because the dm doesn’t need to take into account the millions of factors that will be influencing a seemingly simple interaction. the whole spiel about rolling under ability scores? adds absolutely nothing imo, if anything it takes away from roleplaying by giving you a set number to always be working with. a simple “this seems easy” or “this would be difficult in even ideal circumstances” or “the vampire is dancing around even in thick plate armor” and the like is all a player needs when questioning the difficulty of rolls. the only example i’ve been in where knowing a hard number for difficulty doesn’t seem to detract is when you have already committed to a spell in mage the ascension, because you might need to make a lot of rolls and get a lot of successes (i had to get 10+ successes with a dice pool of 4 once to do something awesome in the traditional meaning of the word) and it’s just annoying asking the dm every single time you get a success if it goes off.

worst part is i’d absolutely be the DM. having read a little of the book i feel like i could just learn whatever role i want to take pretty easily (lets go decker), but keeping everything in my head at once as a dm? a lot less simple

Very unexpected, i wonder how they are going to try to work a cash shop into that

It’s very good to see people moving away from dnd, even a little bit

God i wanna get into shadowrun, but I don’t want to learn shadowrun

Like, 30 seconds? Throw a dhohanoid into a big cave with a barrier that causes fear. Have a group of shovelheads encroach on the party’s territory.

That’s an issue inherent to the d20 system, although 5e is way worse about it. WoD and CoD have way better systems for this, even though they aren’t about combat.

Pffft, malkavians say hi.

Hitting the guy with three layers of holy protection, curses, and no spell failure chance seems like a bad idea

Really shoulda seen that one coming. What’s next? Making deals with dragons?

Super cute

Pretty sure we already knew that

What are you talking about? There’s all sorts of ways to bypass the ads

And then there are the arcanists, born into power and learning more.

Isn’t they the place where fmhy went to? Fucking sad if so

You don’t get that in systems were a gun can just kill someone.

the ascended mage that realizes reincarnation is a thing and the current world is fundamentally evil. When death is only an illusion then it becomes a very small price to pay for even banal ends, much less glorious ones.

Scariest visual novel i ever played was about kids having their privacy personally violated (that is, not generic analytic data, but someone knowing that kid specifically was doing so and so) and just not caring about it.
