Bay 12 Games Forum

Also, I highly doubt that it's anything similar to DF. O.o Game fantasy fiction is hardly the best literature out there >_>

Actually about chewed through the first volume and... I'unno. It's not that bad. I'd even call it somewhat decent so far, at least the translation. Well, insofar as content goes... dunno if the original korean has different meanings and whatnot. Translation itself, skill wise, seems decent on this end... some occasionally noticeable hiccups, but gods know I've seen (much, much) worse. Definitely seems to be leaning toward a wank-style piece, and I can tell there's korean cultural artifacts I'm missing, but it's been fairly readable going into it more-or-less dry.

It probably helps that I've not exactly been saturated with korean media, though. Still. Probably going to keep reading, see how far I can get before I get sick of it/things get more interesting.

DF relation probably coming from the incremental skills thing and an apparent focus on crafting boosting physical capability and whatnot. Least through the first volume, there's not been much else that I'd call connective, hrm.

... mine has been identical since before either of you two registered for the forum. Think I adopted this one... somewhere around 2008. No one has yet divined its origin, thus it remains unchanged.

The Cthulu fad has not been forthcoming. 

Is that... is that tentaclecake?

It looks delicious ;_;

Easy trick is to ask yourself if they actually went bad. Few things are as capable of atrocities as a good person with a cause.

Also the thought of tossing a village of kobolds or whatever into a demiplane and brainwashing them for the cause of righteousness is possibly slightly hilarious.

Though since it looks like pathfinder's still using D&D's normal alignment whatsits, your best bet there would probably be something like LN.

Bleh. Minor, minor, but really rather surreal dream crapped out on me memory wise before I could really grab on to much (besides space monk dudes sacrificing themselves to maintain some kind of forcefield against space, I guess. It was one of about three planets visited during the dream.), which is particularly depressing/annoying in this case 'cause my brain was composing again. All I can remember is a partial lyric remnant that goes <something> <something> "with their bones". Dum da dum da with their bones, dumdada dumdada with their bones.

Then there was other bits, it was majestic and morose and I think about noble sacrifice and now it's pretty much all gone. Blaargh.

Am I the only one who just wants to walk around and kill some monsters and get loot and level up.

Con... considering I'm fairly sure the game won't have a leveling system. S'possible you're it.

S'item based progression, innit? Still. Two out of three, and one of them sorta' does the third? Guess that's okay. I'm definitely looking forward to more than just fight eat loot walk repeat, though, sure. Shaping worlds to my whim is part of the package.

Decker?

That'd be it.

Yeah, definitely interested, but... question. How much flex would you be willing to give regarding... things. Say ferex I was contemplating a witch and was interested in sacrificing access to all but one minor hex in order to boost up that one hex. Would something along those lines be negotiable?

Completely unrelated* but re: Pathfinder mechanics, anyone know if grapple related feats apply to, like, grappling done with non-traditional... grapple thingies. Ferex if someone implanted a tentacle onto themselves, would that benefit? What about, like, psionic limb or somethin'? Would it be kosher to rejigger some feats to particularly suit the oddity in question? Say an improved grapple feat for that particular whatsit being qualified for via, say, wisdom instead of dex, that wouldn't apply to normal!limb-based grappling. Stuff like that.

Still interested if the response is nos all around, yeses would just make some particular concepts more... interesting.

*This is a lie.
