2024-04-22, 05:16 PMTBF, I might do these two myself, depending on circumstances. For the first, sometimes frame-ups succeed and sometimes innocent people wind up in...219 replies | 8436 view(s)

2024-04-22, 02:27 PMAh - I think I'm misunderstanding the meaning of tiers here then? I was thinking more like the way classes are tiered. Is it just personal...18 replies | 1516 view(s)

2024-04-22, 12:42 PMI think they were imagining this scenario: Fey: "What are the Fomori planning, exactly?" PC: "They're going to attack Muir woods." Fey: "The...219 replies | 8436 view(s)

2024-04-21, 06:22 PMIn this case, part of the problem was that the players don't know the fey care about Muir woods. So (if these are city-dwelling fey) they might...219 replies | 8436 view(s)

2024-04-21, 05:22 PMFear of saying too much and having it bite them in the ass is a big one. And this fear doesn't even have to come from your game, it can come from...219 replies | 8436 view(s)

2024-04-20, 12:26 AMSo (unrelated to my last post) I've had some thoughts on this. First, I'll acknowledge that anyone saying "the best answer is to play the GM...89 replies | 5170 view(s)

2024-04-10, 07:18 PMI guess my issue with minionmancy as PO is that while it's definitely possible in practice (I've done it as a player and GM'd for people using it),...93 replies | 7116 view(s)

2024-04-06, 02:28 AMAh - ok yes, if full minion-mancy is viable, then it's pretty much the apex of power. But IME, it isn't, not even in high-op games, for two reasons:...93 replies | 7116 view(s)
