What an awesome idea!
I was about to say, if you like dice pools try nWoD/CoD lol.
As for FATE, my players have the same problem. And I forget to compel a lot of the time to give them FATE points, which doesn't help, either.
Really? That second teleport ability sounds super fun. It means the players have to run around the battlefield fighting the monster, and interacting with the terrain, not just standing in front of each other trading blows. Plus it only happens once a round anyway so you can strategize around it.
The first ability also sounds super cool. At that level there are ways around these things anyway. The friendly casters may have teleports of fly spells, players have dimension door and other crazy abilities from their various magic items they've collected for 20 levels, and a DC 27 save at that level probably isn't that hard to hit anyway.
Just goes to show how subjective fun is I suppose because that description makes me more excited to fight that then the standard bag of hit points 5e tarrasque.
Oh ya, makes sense actually. Must be the other one.
I think MCDM had cool ideas about this in one of their books, including some sample ready made parties. Of course you'd have to convert them from 5e to PF2, but still it might not be a bad source of inspiration. It must have been either Flee, Mortals or Where Evil Lives.
It sounds interesting although unfortunately I've only read the first Brandon Sanderson Mistborn book. Maybe getting the rpg would encourage me to finish the rest of them lol.
That's true lol
History is exactly why I'm skeptical.
The USA is the world's sole superpower and this is in their area of influence. It's always about them when they get involved (as they have in 2002, 2013, 2017, and 2019, etc.).
It's not really democracies vs dictators, it's countries in the US's sphere vs countries not in the US's sphere. It becomes more obvious and easy to see then. The OAS has been a puppet of US interests since the beginning (there's a reason they didn't let Cuba in). It literally started by a pledge to fight communism in the western hemisphere. Basically, it's the US empire and it's puppets and allies vs a rising new order of old colonized and sanctioned countries, which admittedly looks scary, but hopefully will one day lead to a multipolar world where people can deal with their own local issues without worry of western interference (which has almost always been net bad for the people of those countries in the global south Asia, Africa, and South America).
Plenty of Democratic administrations have done coups and wars all over the world. It's just a US empire policy, no matter who is President, mostly because of capitalism. Sure, conservatives are usually worse about it, but Democrats do it, too. Biden is supporting a genocide in Israel. McKinley fought the Philippines, Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish American, JFK invaded Cuba and tried to coup it, Truman led the war in Korea and established a US puppet dictatorship in n the south for, JFK and LBJ were also involved in Vietnam, etc.
Not in the same period of time for the same level of development. And when it did, they accomplished it mostly through colonies and 1800's imperialism.
I know someone in the US who is adamant Biden cheated, too. That's not really evidence.
I mean, they seem to be for open markets and pro-Zionist, also more for Christians than indigenous, and against Chavez, who helped a lot of the poor in Venezuela. So far, she's looking pretty conservative but I'm learning as I go along.
Isn't the opposition conservative? If so, doubt it will be good for the people. I don't know too much about the politics of Venezuela specifically, but I've never seen a conservative government benefit anyone but the rich long term.
And even if you're don't get banned, just like Reddit, you may get down voted a lot if you go against the discourse of the current thread. But not sure if that's fixable anywhere with big groups of people.
It's tough because I don't actually want all the redditors here because of the low effort pun comment chains, constant bot comments, pervasive echo chambers and pop culture drivel. But on the other hand, I do miss the discussion in some of the more niche subreddits here.
The dichotomy of man.
Tbh, I'm embarrassed to say that I thought that people were run over by tanks until I saw someone arguing it on Lemmy and I went to look up accounts by Western reporters there at the time, including the guy who took the tank man picture. So even if the "tankie" instances are right on this subject, they probably shouldn't ban people, but should disseminate correct information instead.
Time to revive it!
Same. The monsters are amazing, and would be a big boost to 5e, but I haven't been playing it as much lately.
