  1. In school, when I was writing my own RPG setting (as one does as a 16 year old), I had a kingdom where they let the military bureaucracy run everything, and the first thing they did was rename all villages for efficiency. They would have approved of Checkpoint Rest Town.
  2. Mind you, Malcador ignored you first. We may need to look into this. Stand against Wormy-bullying.
  3. Got to let he die once, find out who her father is, then turn him against Halbeck for his daughter's death. I never find that dossier though.
  4. I'll give people some time. Of some things are still left over after that, I'll grab a key of something.
  5. Posted that yesterday in the GOG discussion. Let's see if people are more interested when you post it. We can make it a popularity contest!
  6. Next in UN Security Council votes: The US votes in favour of a permanent ceasefire but claims the vote doesn't actually count because the ambassador had her fingers crossed behind her back.
  7. You lasted the whole episode? I couldn't. I am weak It was my last attempt at watching anything Starwars.
  8. Obviously feel free to ignore Malaka Miller, that man couldn't say an honest word to save his life. It is interesting to see the two juxtaposed like this.
  9. There was no US ceasefire resolution of course. The resolution called for recognising the importance of a ceasefire, not calling for a ceasefire. Instead it wanted conditions to be created where a ceasefire would be feasible. Basically it was an attempt to block other countries from doing anything against Israel while the US pretends to negotiate. I don't think I have ever seen anything as cynically disgusting as that performance by the USA ambassador to the UN. At least she proves one thing: regardless of skin colour and gender, all people can be pieces of excrement.
  10. That game had so much potential. Completely ruined for me by the extremely stupid rest/healing. Devs who's approach to development is "lulz we iz hardcore lulz" deserve a punch on the nose.
  11. And then you poor souls will end up reading Chapterhouse. My condolences in advance.
  12. It is being patched. There are still numerous minor bugs (like rumours not clearing out of quest log) but overall it is playable and enjoyable. There seems to be at least at times importance to the order in which you do things. You are given options on how to do things. The system works, but some class choices seem complicated for the sake of being complicated. Some things have been hit with the nerf bat. I think the current verdict is, if you have waited this long, might as well wait another month for the big patch. Writing wise? Jae is annoying as feth. Don't feth up and get even near her fething romance. It doesn't fething belong in 40k. Fething Jae should Not be in 40k. If we wanted annoying as feth smuggling scoundrels we'd watch star wars. Though what sort of war dat sposed ter be? A propa waaaaagh is not just wun, too, tree lettarz. A propa waaaaaagh has lotz of lettaz. Lotz of Boyz and lotz of dakka. Neva enuff dakka. Star Waaaaagh would be a good name.
  13. Owlcat's writing improved a LOT in Rogue Trader. Goes to show what a comprehensive setting with a detailed lore bible can do. Owlcat is doing a better job at it than a lot of Games Workshop's own Black Library authors. Which is not much praise, come to think of it, taking into account my opinion of those authors.
  14. Without profanity filters, discussions about ancient Egypt would be boring. With filters, the story of queen Neferbreasti has completely new dimensions.
  15. I also left out Tyranny. I think the phone rang edit: mind you, I played through tyranny once and have nothing to say about it
  16. I played Kotor 2 completely once, but unlike many I did not enjoy it as much as the original. I felt it was trying too hard to be edgy and moral grey. I finished FO:NV once. I played quite a lot, but again, Obsidian's way of writing "moral dilemmas" I find meh. Obviously, humanity has proven time and time again, that Obsidian has a better understanding of humans than I have. People really do believe that between state funded healthcare and Caesar's Legion, the raping mass murderers are the lesser evil. PoE1 I played. I enjoyed the beginning. It got so tedious, I could not see myself to complete it, and it killed my interest in the story. NVN2 I enjoyed and found one of the better written RPGs. I also think that it fell into the post- Planescape Torment trap of every NPC having to be this unique out of the ordinary, breaking conventions of NPCs attempt, which made me long for plain boring party members. Which Outer World had and which made the game so refreshing. I think I finished Dungeon Siege 3 twice...
  17. I did not know people were actually posting in Obsidian General...
  18. Team bonding is important. Can't rob a train without proper preparation. The percentage of course counts all the optional activities for your criminal empire and the murder app. Not sure if it counts hidden collections, photo hunts and tourist attractions. By the way, the contract to kill the Necromancer was my favourite.
  19. How far in are you? Has the larp started yet? Edit: Saw the picture thread, I see you summoned the mighty bowelrod and smote thine enemies.
  20. I really don't play anymore. I feel I never am in character and just try to push teh story forward and save it from the rest of the party. That said, I still like looking through interesting books, so buy some for that. My most recent purchase was: Household, by Two Little Mice It is about fey folk (called Littlings) living in an abandoned mansion, after the human residents disappeared 100 years earlier. The different rooms of the house represent different biomes and are home to different states. In the bathtub there is a Venice like city, the toppled christmas tree is the forest in the living room. How the water in the bathtub keeps flowing, stays fresh and the whole thing doesn't just overflow? Eh, I guess a setting with faeries should come with some magic leeway for such details. I basically got it because I like faery settings and settings where tiny people live in a larger scaled surrounding. I would totally enjoy playing a CRPG based on the setting. Before that I had done two purchases: Labyrinth the RPG Dark Crystal the RPG They both are these small 200 page books with simple rules in the first dozen or so pages and a campaign for the majority of the book. In Labyrinth you basically do an alternate version of the movie - all players have their own reason to reach the castle, but they are not limited to the experience Sara had - when the hands are asking up or down, you could say up. The most fun of course is playing a quirky character that fits the setting, and they even made "worm" a choice of race/species. Dark Crystal plays in the Age of Resistance, thus follows the events of the Netflix series. Players can be from any Gelfling tribe, but as this is a much darker setting than Labyrinth, player death is something that can happen and there are special rules that trigger when a player does In both of these you can tell that they were made with a lot of love, and they are possibly the only settings other than Changeling, that would get me to the table. I am flirting with getting the new edition of Hunter: The Reckoning. It may be the first time a new edition of a campaign setting did mostly good changes, everyone seems to like.
  21. The "they all voted for" is rather ironic coming from "the only democracy in the middle east".
  22. I watch Bloomberg "Brilliant Ideas" which is a surprisingly good series of art documentaries.
