You're splendidly predictable and lame in your retorts making it obvious you're not a not, just a very boring simpleton with no idea about LLMs yapping at each other and feeding off people who think they are there to establish some sort of "connection" with chatbots instead of teaching to emulate us

Not new, but still very proud of the work I did there (85% of the written content; that is 7 out of the 7 adventures therein.) Plus, among other things, I'm translating the comics series for this very franchise.

And me about to start planning a #DarkHeresy game dealing with the days before the start of "Inquisitors's Wars" featuring the Cult of Slaanesh—plus some short stories. This is definitely going to help me with the mood and getting "in character." Thank you. Have a great weekend!

3. Estimated playing time, desired number of players. "A two-hour long, One-shot Sci-Fi Noir adventure for 6 players." 4. Cost (if any). "An all-around great time for 1000 milk caps/a handful of peanuts/free." That is usually all the info I need to decide if I'm interested.

1. Very to-the-point setting and it's genre descriptions: "In a post-Singularity world where Humanity is still distrustful of self-conscious machines..." 2. Clear Adventure Hook/Objective: "Someone has been'killing' some things and your employer wants it/them stopped before the machines do."

it always is the system's basic framework as I want to exactly know what I want the system to replicate/offer and what the "rules of the universe are" before I come up with a single rule. I use a 3P protocol: Physics, Physiology, Psychology. It gives me a clean idea of what I can and what I can't do

Read the franchise's "bible." It was a monumental task as it was often shifting in particular details I already had used in the fiction and rpg systems or adventures proper. That was the second hardest thing: all the reworking many things required because of the changes in lore. On personal stuff

Possibly one of the best and most underrated settings available for 5e and a very apt adaptation of the MTG source. I'm here for the ride.

Es porque sus términos de licencia son leoninos y nunca les ha interesado hacer la traducción ellos mismos. Y mira que lo intenté un par de veces, pero no están dispuestos a trabajar más que con otras empresas "establecidas" y las empresas establecidas (léase Devir) no están interesados en Cypher.

Yes. Core or "3e" is actually the best incarnation of this system, yet. It might be a little less crunchy, but it plays beautifully if you're into highly tactical combat encounters and still leaves a lot of room for narrative-driven games if that's what you're after.

It's been out for a while, but I'm still proud of it as I wrote 85% of the content (6 of the 7 adventures, several of the "rank and file" critters and all the NPCs.) My novel for the Ed Greenwood Group is no longer available to buy. I hope I will change that, soon. dracostudios.com/product/grea...

and then do what you went there to do: say your farewells to your grandma. Putting bullies in their place no matter what the occasion, never makes you an asshole. Also, if you don't think the guy will keep him trap shut, carry some pepper spray and don't be afraid to use it. Grandma'd approve it.

Thing is, you want to be there to honor and send your grandmother off or to please this asshole? Once you figure it out dress as you feel more comfortable and as soon as you get there, you go straight to the people who hurt you and tell them; "Fuck you and back the fuck off. I'm not here for you,"

No. It's based on the absurdity of stating the obvious instead of being factual about what the book is and how well it accomplishes its intended purpose. Anything else you read, it's you projecting your own takes because you don't agree.

adventure is almost always piled with "railroading" and considered "bad" by many among the TTRPG community and that helps no one.

From the lack of understanding that starter adventures are meant to be straightforward 'cause these also need to cover the basic concepts for all participants to grasp. Calling them "straightforward" doesn't do anything for the quality of the review and let's not pretend otherwise, a straightforward

Oh, I understand. Calling something what it is supposed to be it is not reviewing it. It's a given a sample adventure is going to be straightforward. What needs to be pointed out if it allows both DMs/GMs and players grasp what the system has to offer before moving on to the more complex rules.

Calling it "straightforward" is missing the point of a BEGINNER adventure included in a CORE rulebook is and what purpose it must fulfill. Not a "stater" box. Not an "entry level" booklet or softback book. The CORE book. Is that so hard to understand?

It's all over most fandoms and ironically enough, I've found the Horror fans (both performative and horrible) to be very tame. Clueless? Sure. Pretentious? How could they not be? Yet, pretty tame. The particularly "worst" I've found are the Hellraiser fans. Not Clive Barker fans; just his Hellraiser
