Hi there we are going to answer this with the new Mutant Chronicles RPG coming this Winter. In the meantime check out www.facebook.com/mutantchroniclesrpg for more info or www.modiphius.com
We have been doing a lot of work on the background story to help fill in all the gaps and the first releas...
Thoughts?
@BrianBallsun-Stanton what do you think? an answer or no?
Welp, After a few sessions and some on the side character making I understand Character creation in Anima. unfortunately we havent got around to reading about the setting in which Anima takes place so we are kinda a group of 4 people guarding an unamed town... Sorta like a sandbox.
From what Ive heard described its some crazy setting lore too.
I'm voting to close this question as not constructive since there's no solvable problem here. Is that a fair reaction?
@Brian You mentioned in reply to a question which got Jhyarelle suspended, "Check your email." Do you actually have any input in what goes in that email? Did you mention he can bring a lot of his questions to chat?
I'm wondering if he's aware yet it would probably be pretty good to ask a lot of these questions in chat, and I'm sure we've invited him several times.
This is amazing. The possibilities. Like swallowing a bunch of social-spell wands before walking into a ball, then firing them off as needed. Uncomfortable, definitely! But CONCEALED!
@JonathanHobbs I'm pretty sure permission to fire it if swallowed whole still means you have to have someone in there firing it... maybe you could swallow whole your familiar raven who can then use your magical device skills to activate it in you...
Thrush familiars can talk as well and are significantly smaller :D
hahaha! well as a lvl 4 carnivalist (rogue archetype) with 4 ranks in Perform "Entertain" and a charisma of 16 you'd have a +10 bonus for your roll, question is what's the DC?
@Brian You locked that post telling them to take that conversation to chat, but now I can't upvote it, giving the guy the necessary +10 rep to let him talk in chat! Nooooooo
> If you don't want the exact text of your About Me section there (such as it is too long and gets cut off, or because the formatting is weird), then you may use a summary comment using the following syntax:
> Replace [your text here] with your desired summary (of at least 28 characters), and that will be placed on your expanded usercard in place of your About Me section. Note that because it is an HTML comment, you cannot use any HTML such as for links. The spaces before and after summary: and before the closing --> are required to use a summary.
@JonathanHobbs Skin Horse provides some awesome quotes.
(Context is that Jonah and his friend are inside a black ops R&D company, and Jonah's 'brain damage' is basically a save-point where every time he dies trying to get out of the building he is returned to a previous point in his escape to try again.)
> And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust."
I think I want to change my profile summary from "Don't worry. It's AWESOME brain damage." to "Who said that? Whoever said that, they were wrong. I said that? If I said that, I was wrong."
Although there are other options.
"These facts are all true to the best of our knowledge, however since I am surrounded by weirdos, I take no personal responsibility." and "People keep moving my silliness benchmark." come to mind.
Personally, I'm fond of "Any sufficiently advanced society will mistakenly believe all magic to be unknown technology." (attributed to Dean Koontz by the Skin-Horse comment I found it in.)

Or, while we're abusing well-known quotes, "The universe is not only sillier than we know; it is sillier than we can know."
I kinda want to make that Girl Genius quote my expanded summary whatevermajig, but on the other hand, I don't want to give the false impression I am totally into Girl Genius
So far as the gate spell abuse goes, in 3.5 I had a long-standing explicit arrangement with one of my groups: "Anything you can break, NPCs can break better. But they won't until you do."
It put the GM vs player conflict potential firmly in the players' hands, gave them agency and responsibility, and made it clear that I was taking my cues from them in terms of the kind of game they wanted to play and the level of power it'd be played at.
Your players' terror of their enemies summoning twice as many solars as they can - or a number of anti-solars, or Illithids and sufficient monsters to help them sneak right up to the players - will keep them in check. That is a good answer.
and then the GM leans in, stares at them intently with a straight face, and then holds that pose and wiggles his eyebrows for as long as it takes to get a confident response. Players' wills may be broken in the process almost effortlessly.
Hold up my fingers in a box and ask "Are you sure?" And since I always and only ask it in response to potentially risky behaviours.... It's amazing how quickly they say "nonono" ... except for @Magician.
I wasn't sure if you meant it like that, or in a pensive sort of hand gesture (subject of the screenshot entirely coincidental, but possibly very appropriate)
Make a "gun" out of both hands with index and thumb. Point the right index to the left across your body, and flip the left hand over pointing that index finger to the right, above the right hand so that your left thumb is pointing down directly above the tip of the right index and the right thumb is pointing up at the tip of the left index.

definitely. I've enjoyed the front end work I've done. Learning to decipher css and how to write interesting javascript is fun. Just need to add jQuery to my repertoire :)
It's... the great disconnect of 4e. mechanics and fluff don't touch. Forcing them makes pain, letting them float on frictionless bearings means that you can have awesomecool stories that... still allow you to have fun and balanced encounters.
but yeah, my main problem with that is that, if you read the comments, the question is asking "my player became king of a town of 100k ... "people" in the abyss. How do I make plot?"
@besw I also believe that coffee should never be reheated, though id be interested to see how cold brew acts when heated up. I still feel it would taste different than straight up cold brew and straight up normal brew coffee
The question is whether it's a good --or at least acceptable-- kind of different. I find cold brew coffee is much nicer than anything else I've ever had.
