NOW LIVE WITH Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and Lost Ocean at https://twitch.tv/canageek , come join me for a chill stream talking to all NPCs TWICE! #streaming #Gameing
@Canageek ya exactly - CR is just a numerical mess that ppl get super hung up on, when it's really just a ballpark estimate of toughness
real tabletop adventure balance is making risk/reward well-telegraphed, rather than ensuring that every encounter is going to fit into a perfect difficulty curve that challenges the players but never too much
let players decide what they're up for, and face down the dragon that's five levels higher than them with a solid plan and an escape route
#TorgEternity is the only non-social #ttrpg I know that dedicates paragraphs to playing #nonbinary, #genderfluid and #transgender characters.
1/ Reality Storms may transform you into someone closer to your current ideal self (including radical body changes).
2/ Your Soul is visible in the GodNet, not your body. The mismatch may attract attention from the (very medieval) Cyberchurch authorities.
It's not huge and I don't know how it will turn out, but it definitely looks interesting.
OK, thinking my next #gurps character will be a ranger, but one who is SUPER focused on the human ways of doing things, avoiding most magic as he thinks the elves are over-reliant on it.
My D&D group asked for the Aboleth's pronouns.
Of course, they have ancestral memory and therefore ancestral identity, so the answer is a bit complicated for those who don't experience that. Not so much non-binary as non-singular. In this particular Aboleth's case, it was literally a plural form of 'he/him'.
Take that, grammar prescriptivists.
Idle thought: it is known that most D&D campaigns don't make it up to high levels; they tend to end up stopping around level 7 or 8, according to Mike Mearls, for various reasons -- people move away, or there's not enough time, or the DM wants to stop DMing, etc. I suspect that this is also true of streamed campaigns; lots and lots of those end up fading or vanishing or stopping. I wonder if the proportions are the same?
Anyone want to suggest fun paper decks to run? My office group is getting into them

Just totally froze up at a simple question and anther player had to take over. wth I might be socially awkward sometimes but I never in my life recall freezing up like that. #gurps
Despite the dice hating me, I have successfully completed awkward social interaction.
Ok, next roll in the fantasy game? NOT main diplomat! #gurps
Canadian geek, not a geek in a can. I started gaming in grade five, started playing at conventions in 2002 with Living Greyhawk. Aspie.
