Here's the last page of this crap so far, just so you don't have to go to their website.

I don't know about you nerds but I don't want to participate in getting shit done if it's just going to be rehashed and slapped up somewhere else as someone's original the idea donut steel.

Someone tell me I've missed something important so I can stop being morally outraged and start being minorly chagrined.

Not quite. This set of three comics, yeah. However, in the setting presented by Penny Arcade here, the power is on the parents, and they are supposed to protect their children and those who are in some way innocent. They channel the righteous fury of a parent protecting their young through a focus of some sort-in this case, the glowing tattoo-and then beat the crap out of the things that...

>the background consists of all of one sentence (even though I asked for one paragraph minimum).
dump the asshole, move on
maybe change the part where you ask for one paragraph minimum to emphasize that you actually care about that requirement

If you're doing a LFG listing, just ignore the ones that don't read. Even if you tell them what they did wrong, their illiteracy means that you'll waste your time and they won't read your response anyway.

Players are rarely in short supply, though that depends on what system you're using. You lose nothing by moving on to better players and ignoring the shit ones.

Tell him that you're sorry but there's not a spot available for him in your game and move on.

I doubled as the team's communications manager for a while with notes on arrows. The GM always made me take a minor action to write the message and not shoot the recipient and the barbarian couldn't read and didn't care.

Had one archer in an Anima game who turned his pet raptors, tables, barrels, fine china, boulders, and other miscellaneous items into arrowheads.
Sometimes he'd let the transformation spell go mid-flight, others he'd wait until the arrow hit or missed.
One mook wound up with a cat-sized raptor inside his abdominal cavity, another wound up under an iron-reinforced wooden door after a "Death from Above" moment.
Good times, good times.

I know this is likely a b8 image, but how is Lovecrafts stuff not fantasy? It's full of magic, deities and other fantastical stuff.
There's no science in it.

>>44379631

The whole point of Lovecraft's monsters is that they AREN'T magic. They're just better at physics and science in ways that our puny monkey-minds literally physically cannot handle. There is no magic, no wonder, no god, only an uncaring and incomprehensible cosmos which we understand 0.0001% of, and are wholly dominated by those who understand even 1% of it (Mi-go, Cthulhu, etc.).

Naked savages dancing around Shub-Niggurath fires in worship doesn't make them fantasy any more than cargo...

Interesting, but it depends on the tone you want. You could aim for the more depressive sci-fi tone, or the more wondrous dreamlands adventures.

Music to set the tone

>>44379082
Fantasy flight is great for low power "scrapping by campaigns". WotC is 3rd edition DnD with all that entails. Saga is closer to 4th ed, and I haven't tried the d6 since I was a kid.

So if you want high power, Jedi crashing star destroyers I'd recommend WotC, if you want to be something else I'd recommend Fantasy Flight

I'd probably recommend going with ffg. Been playimg EotE with my group recently and I feel like it's a really good system.

Just out of curiosity, why set it right before episode 1?

>>44379327

Not 'right' before, just before the whole Anakin malarkey and when the Jedi were still up-and-running. I definitely want things before Order 66.

>>44379270

The plot is going to be that there a rumours bubbling about that a Sith Lord is trying to recruit an apprentice from among the padawans of the Jedi Academy. The players will be assisting their Jedi Knights in investigating the rumours and if they prove to be true, hunting the Sith Lord...

>This takes place during the week before heading to Vitria

Things were quiet here in the rear wing of the keep. Past the great hall, the meeting hall and what you guessed to be open offices for the bureaucrats of centuries past was a long hall that opened up to the rock face along an arch. The room had been full of stone bookcases that rose as high as two storeys and, if you ignored the dust and rubble that had accumulated over the past one hundred and fifty years, would make...

“It was a gift. It wasn’t made by mages,” you say truthfully, expecting that to end the matter. As great as the human history of magic was, there were other magic users more than capable of creating something like this, even if you’d only heard of the possibility.

“As I doubt the elves gifted you one, I take it you’re from the Guard then?” Gnome says.

>2. Don’t say anything and let Gnome continue talking while you place the books on the shelves.

Context is key. What's important is what the character /could/ know. In your example, if you were playing a barbarian as an EMT, yeah, you need to roll to see if your barbarian had that knowledge and skill. If you're a wizard who 'knows' moss grows to the north or whatever, I'd make a check to make sure that was true in this setting, but otherwise let it fly because it's relatively common knowledge. And yeah, a ranger knows what wolves eat, even if a player does it.

>>44376127
Only if such knowledge wouldn't be totally unreasonable for their character to of learnt.

>>44376183
*doesn't

Because at the speed most melee units run it's faster than shooting. And flamers take a while to kill the stuff that normally wants to get up close and eat your face off. A chainsword is simply faster to draw and mulch an angry Ork brawler with.

Because swordfights are cool.
